Quite nice, but rather irrelevant
As a longtime lover of Dior's Tendre Poison, I doggedly pursue all leads for related scents. Authentic Marouissa was also described as similar, so I bought it.
The opening of the perfume is very alcoholic and a little dusty - reminds me of the smell of an empty drawer of a wooden chest of drawers left in the attic decades ago. Or those cedar bags that you put in the closet a long time ago to ward off moths and forgot about: dusty and woody with residual spice.
When this rather unattractive phase is over, it becomes flowery, but by no means with the power of a 90s boom, but rather shyly the daffodils draw attention to themselves. Over time, they even manage to neutralize the dusty woody notes, which I think is good for the fragrance, as it becomes softer, fresher and more harmonious. Nevertheless, the whole composition seems synthetic, flat and characterless. There is no change, no surprise, no depth. It blooms quietly and increasingly soapy and that's it.
The sillage is moderate, at most an arm's length with a good nose.
Since Authentic Maroussia is not overly sweet and has a certain aftershave freshness and woodiness, I can also imagine the fragrance on a man. But there really are better fragrances on the market. This perfume is too insignificant and is probably only available on Ebay.
