Now, let's be honest
Let's be honest - the price isn't worth mentioning, and with the gold-yellow plastic sprayer, you can't win any awards. It just looks cheap, that thing.
This makes the fragrance quite unattractive for some professionals.
If you ignore the above factors and hold the scented arm under the nose of a layperson, they say 'Hmm, that smells good'.
Why?
Because the fragrance enthusiast is easily impressed by pleasant names and beautiful packaging - and also because they become suspicious when a fragrance is offered at too low a price. And certainly not just the fragrance enthusiast. I wouldn't want to gift such a plastic thing either. And with a fragrance under 10 euros, I also don't have high expectations.
But if I were to transfer the contents of the plastic thing into a nice glass sprayer with a pretty label, I'm sure the fragrance itself would be received quite well.
Because it's not a bad fragrance.
It smells soft, warm, dry - good. Slightly vanilla-sweet, but not sticky.
It provides comfort, especially now in the cold season.
It flatters me, it blends with my skin. And it lasts quite a long time. Applied in the evening, my arm still smells slightly vanilla-sweet the next morning.
It was with my daughter in the clinic - as a piece of mom.
It's a shame that it's no longer being produced.
I'm glad I still have a full plastic thing, the contents of which I will transfer to a nice glass sprayer if needed.

HA! You're speaking my mind! I got this today as a "goodie" in a swap. The scent is wonderful- the bottle may be "cheap," but the sprayer is great- it mists perfectly :-))

Beautifully described! I discovered it in Italy and stocked up right away (it's still available there). I really love this scent and I'm amazed at how long it lasts.

There are some fragrances that make the current insane perfume prices absurd! For example, Roger & Gallet also makes good perfumes at a friendly price.

Ha! Just today I indulged in it again :) Personally, I find mediocre scents with embarrassingly pretentious marketing at niche prices much less appealing than nice bargains.

I agree with you. It really smells much better than the price and packaging suggest.

Yes, the plastic packaging is annoying. But at least there's no apparent exclusivity being pretended.
