Affordable Fruit Basket with Strong Kirké Vibes
Spray To Play is of course neither on the level of "Kirkè | Tiziana Terenzi" in terms of presentation, packaging, or bottle - and thus also far
below the price level.
Nevertheless, I can't help but constantly compare this Rossman cheapie with the aforementioned Terenzi, and the similarities just won't leave my mind, or rather my nose.
Spray to Play kicks off just like Kirké, bursting forth upon application. One is hit with a heavily sweetened fruit basket filled with all sorts of ripe, juicy fruits, lacking neither intensity nor presence. However, Kirké feels much more complex from the very beginning; in direct comparison, it definitely lacks the pear and the fine nuances that emerge repeatedly through blackcurrant and passion fruit in Kirké.
As expected, Spray to Play doesn't really develop further. On one hand, the rather average longevity of only a few hours doesn't allow for long-term evolution, and on the other hand, the YouTube fragrance probably doesn't hide much more than what is already clearly in the foreground shortly after application. Rather, all components of the fragrance pyramid here lean towards sweetness, with musk and vanilla also reducing to just that.
For me, Spray to Play smells almost permanently of pineapple and peach (or nectarine, who can really tell the difference?!) with added sweetness.
Whether it's the knowledge that Spray to Play was created by a beauty YouTuber for her predominantly female fans, or the actual subtle differences in the DNA (osmanthus and tiare, but no patchouli) - it simply comes across as more feminine than the expensive counterpart, and likely one would get strange looks as a man if heavily doused in Spray to Play. Still, that's a matter of taste; many also claim that Kirké is more of a women's fragrance.
There’s no need for lengthy words about the bottle. With a price tag of €16, no wonders should be expected. Nevertheless, it does come across as extraordinarily cheap in its entirety.
All in all, it still presents a nice alternative to my beloved Kirké for a tenth of the price. No, they don't smell the same, but there are indeed many similarities and strong commonalities that cannot be denied. Spray to Play still runs the risk of sinking into the swamp of fruity-sweet women's fragrances, whereas Kirké avoids doom with just a touch of originality.
