Fruity but balanced
I was gifted this fragrance by Emil Élise and I am happily surprised at how much I like this fragrance. I did not think I was a fruity fragrance lover until I tried Juice Bold from Commodity. Then my mind was changed. I love fruity fragrances if they can be well-balanced with some deeper notes to round them out. To me, it's a very well-balanced fruity fragrance with hints of floral and woody resinous notes. I feel this is a scent that is interesting enough to wear out at night, but also polite enough to wear to work. If you like Juice Bold from Commodity, then I think you will definitely like Choose Happiness!

Nothing expected, completely flashed!
Went to Breuninger again today, for me a short walk through the beautiful Hofgarten...and there I am.

A large, chic Emile Elise stand right at the main entrance.
Until now, I only knew the Melting Lust, the Dancing on Goosebumps and the Twisted Sin from last winter.

Each quite nice in their own right, but not enough to buy, although the brand's prices are very moderate.

Quite different today with Choose Happiness.

What an extraordinary fragrance!!!

I've never smelled anything like this before, except for Hibiscus Mahajád .

And even if both fragrances drift a little towards the feminine in my opinion, they both belong in my top 5 list from now on
I'll leave it to the experts to dissect the fragrance and how it feels, I for one am happy to own it as of today.

Happiness found
This morning I saw an advertisement for Emil Elise in Breuninger Düsseldorf and thought to myself, if I have to go to Düsseldorf anyway, I'll check out the new Emil Elise.

I was familiar with the brand as I tested all the fragrances when they came to Düsseldorf, but I wasn't convinced by any of them. I didn't like the Melting Lust, but the rest were mediocre, at least so far.

As some other perfumers have said, this fragrance is very similar to Hibiscus Mahajád, but for me it's clearly not a dupe. You could compare it to Club Black Eau de Toilette and Althaïr, even though they both smell similar, they end up going in different directions. This fragrance has a little more depth, a little more meaning, which is why I would also prefer it to Hibiscus Mahajád, even if it may not be quite suitable on very warm summer days, but again, everyone as he wants, all just my opinion.

The sillage seems to be pretty good too. I only sprayed it once on my hand, but was asked about it twice, which leaves a very positive impression for me. Unfortunately, I can't say too much about the longevity yet, I've had it on for 5 hours and I notice a veil of fragrance from time to time.

Unfortunately, I haven't bought it yet, as I wanted to see the reaction of those around me first, but as everyone reacts positively to it, I will definitely do so in the next few days. So a clear recommendation from me :)

Great floral-fruity creation with lychee
When I saw this new release here on Parfumo, I was really curious. I was also really intrigued by the initial reactions to this fragrance. Of course, I had to get a small bottle, as this fragrance is quite inexpensive for a niche fragrance, even as a full bottle. I already own the sample set of this brand and the great Melting Lust. The range of this modern brand is quite cool. This Choose Happiness ranks alongside Melting Lust as my favorite of this brand. This fragrance absolutely suits my taste and is sure to garner many compliments. Even if it hasn't yet cracked the 8.0 mark, it is sure to go down really well with the masses. For women, this fragrance is a little easier to wear due to the lychee note, which has a slight Delina Eau de Parfum vibe. Hibiscus is also a trendy note that is currently successful in Hibiscus Mahajád. Anyone who likes these two DNAs could be successful here. Modern men with self-confidence can of course also wear it. Precisely because this fragrance also has a slight edge with leather and a light incense note.

The price-performance ratio of this brand is simply top. you can get 100ml for under 150€. For this you get a stylish box with a bottle that is rather simple and works perfectly. The highlight here is of course the fragrance, which stands out from the crowd.
The name here is already cool & catchy. Have you already chosen joy here? Yes, you have. This fragrance puts you in a good mood and is a bit playful and light-hearted. In my opinion, these great fruity notes have a great carefree bubblegum vibe. From the very first moment, this creation is very cheerful and well-groomed. As I said, the opening with the lychee and rose has these great Delina vibes. Here, however, it is a little more balanced and not quite as feminine. Fresh, fruity notes also come through well in the opening: Juicy pear, fresh citrusy bergamot and just that great lychee. The rose is sensual, but not too heavy and can also be worn in mild/warm temperatures. I like this peony with that fruity bubblegum vibe. Over time, a great leather note comes through, which gives the fragrance a great background. Frankincense also comes through well without being too smoky. Hibiscus also gives the fragrance a juicy-floral touch, which harmonizes well with the rose. Even if it is difficult to read at times: There is harmony here and the fragrance is quite catchy and some people are sure to respond to it. The base is of course very sensual with vanilla, woods, warm amber and a fluffy, creamy musk note. Very soft, sensual and cuddly. It is very cuddly and absolutely suitable for dates and the like. This fragrance won me over from start to finish and I couldn't really detect any disturbing notes. Ladies in particular should try it, but also men who want to get away from the usual masculine DNAs.
Performance is top. This fragrance easily cracks the 10 hours and convinces with a great charisma. If everyday life allows it, you can also wear it well in daily use. Already a fragrance that has character and stands out.

Overall a great fragrance with a fitting name. The fragrance has a great bubblegum vibe with light-hearted fruits, rose, hibiscus, leather, incense and a soft base. Anyone who would like that should try this fragrance. I am totally convinced by the price-performance ratio.

First top, later too much incense
At first, I was very pleasantly surprised by the fragrance. At first, it smelled like a "beautiful embrace" to me. Also very feminine. However, after a few hours, the incense became more and more prominent. It even remained very strong until the next day, making me feel a little nauseous at night. So unfortunately not for me at all. For people who like incense, however, it could be a very nice fragrance.
