My sister has been giving me fragrances from S Oliver, Mexx, and the like for several years now. This must be the punishment for having kept my extensive collection a secret from her until now. By now, she should have noticed that I own a fragrance or two, as she often complains about my scent choices - she is very sensitive (but wears that awful Eternity herself).
However, I don't want to bash the fragrance or this type of fragrance. Before I became a perfume junkie and developed a refined or dulled nose, I could actually appreciate these very light scents. Not everyone is as crazy as we are. For me, these are everyday fragrances. For people who just want to feel fresh and well-groomed in their daily lives, without taking any risks of offending someone or bothering anyone. Certainly better than an overdose of Angel in a cramped office or something like that. So they definitely have their right to exist.
Now to the specific fragrance - it smells a bit citrusy, slightly fruity, woody, and lightly sweet. I can't describe it any closer. It smells pleasant, nice, but nothing special. Would I wear it? Sure, if I didn't already have a closet full of fragrances. Because there would definitely be better alternatives from my collection. A Versense, for example, which might be somewhat in the same style, is simply miles better. So in the end, I don't wear the S. Oliver.
So nice to read your comment!! I wouldn't wear it either, since I already have enough fragrances, but there are definitely affordable scents that smell good.
I really like everyday fragrances - although I have a closet full of higher-priced everyday scents, which some might consider a quirk, I embrace it. And since the mentioned twin already lives with me, I don't need this one.
I don't find these everyday fragrances to be that bad sometimes, at least on other people. Some of them disturb me with their boozy opening and their clearly similar structure, which probably goes unnoticed by many in the crowd. However, what's surprising is the relatively high price.
