This fragrance was allowed to join my collection after the
classic "Mon Paris," and I had to grab it at a bargain price.
The opening for me begins with a somewhat soapy grapefruit note, which relatively quickly fades away after a few minutes, while the scent develops into red berries. I didn't think of raspberries directly, but rather of a plate full of various red berries dusted with a fine layer of powdered sugar, bringing a sweetness that I don't find exaggerated at all. As it progresses, I start to smell the roses. Much less noticeable, until after about 2-3 hours I can no longer perceive it at all. This could certainly be due to my nose; nevertheless, I can only report on my personal experiences. I don't find the scent bad and I'm not too disappointed about its longevity given the good price. At times, the fragrance reminded me of "Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming," which also contains some similar scent notes.
I find the fragrance very suitable for spring and would describe it as relatively "unobtrusive." I like the bottle and it looks great next to the classic scent. In comparison, I find the Couture quite similar, but still a bit sweeter than "Mon Paris."
I find it difficult to give an age recommendation for fragrances, as it also depends on the type and how the scent develops individually, and tastes are indeed different!
