Phew, quite different from what I expected. Unfortunately.

So, to start with, I ordered a small sample based on recommendations. It was said to be sweet and strawberry-like. Upon the first spray, I was immediately hit by an overwhelming 'standard perfume smell' that I could hardly get out of my sinuses. It’s one of those scents that just doesn’t smell like anything, only like alcoholic perfume. After about 10 minutes, that fades away, at least unless you go directly in for another sniff. And yes, then I slowly start to pick up a bit of that strawberry with cream, somewhere very faintly and gently, one could indeed imagine that. Well, it could of course be that my sample is already going off. Or I simply lack the right receptors for this perfume. In any case, it’s definitely not my thing.

I find "Her" by Burberry, 2018, Eau de Parfum, deliciously fruity and strawberry-like.

I had the same experience; if you spray just a little, it’s really nice, but you shouldn’t smell it directly. The sillage is what smells good, but on the skin, it’s unpleasant. So you have to be very careful when spraying-best to spray once in the air and walk through it.

Dear Anchii, I felt the same way as you did. I had so many hopes and then this - so unremarkable :(
