Forever ... and You!
Per Sempre, in German "für immer," is clearly categorized as a "rose fragrance" for me. It may not last all the time, but it does last relatively long, and for this reason, I add "and You" with a beaten (rain) bow to Rio Reiser* - it can be worn well by both ladies and gentlemen.
At first glance at the pyramid, one might fear, especially when seeing the ingredients vanilla and strawberry, that one is facing a kitschy girl’s scent. Admittedly, a minimal trace of strawberry comes through, but it hardly makes an impact. And the vanilla forms a gentle, almost creamy base with the musk, which is justified.
In between, there’s a decent amount of rose, geranium, and saffron - all excellently blended and balanced. At times, one might even think that a tiny bit of oud is peeking around the corner. Then "Per Sempre" evokes memories of "Santal Royal" for a few seconds, although quite a few rose fragrances with a dark core can do that nowadays.
Overall, a beautiful noble Eau de Parfum with floral-woody-oriental characteristics, wearable by all genders, as long as one does not have an aversion to roses. The blue bottle might be confusing, but it reminds me of the blue moon that Rio Reiser is ready to fetch in the song "Für immer und Dich." Fits!
*"Für immer und Dich" by Rio Reiser / for those who don’t know it: perhaps one of the most beautiful German love songs

I usually prefer rose to be fresh, but this one could be really nice too.
