You are silly!
Through a swap game, I got a bottle of "Reve de Weil" a few weeks ago. And although it doesn't necessarily belong to my favorites in my collection: somehow I like it. Aside from the really somewhat cheap-looking plastic cap, the bottle is quite pretty, and especially the box. When I discovered a close relative of the fragrance for little money today, it was natural to quickly check Parfumo. "Fresh-floral"? Well, that can mean everything and nothing and is not entirely my fragrance direction. However, I do like several of the scent notes - which doesn't necessarily mean that I will like the overall composition. But curiosity and/or the buying impulse won out.
At home, I eagerly sprayed the new addition. Oh wow! A somewhat sharp citrus - and by "sharp," I mean it literally! - splashes at me. Maybe it's the mandarin? I certainly didn't expect that, and my first thought is: "You are silly!" The packaging and bottle do not make me feel any more reconciled; both seem to me like a cheap knockoff of some "Cool Water Woman" flanker. And although the bottle was still sealed when I bought it, a little piece of the white paint layer has already come off the bottom... However, I don't find "Eau de Weil" aquatic or even just fresh as promised. Not to mention that the stated original price, which I checked, does not exactly suggest a dupe.
As if it had read my thoughts, the fragrance, which I initially found to be quite a diva, quickly becomes milder, friendlier, and more pleasant. Madame remembers her good manners. In the base, I even find it somewhat similar to "Reve de Weil," but with significantly less sillage. Not bad, not unpleasant, but also not exciting and unfortunately a bit synthetic. I expected more from the diva. Gently, she now blooms a bit, somewhat sweet, maybe even occasionally a little fresh. Sounds a bit boring? Unfortunately, it is.
I’ll give it a friendly 6 for now, as this Weil did not convince me today. A few more tests will follow - after all, I’m sitting on 100ml for now.
P.S.: Does the blind purchase support group still exist???
