First off: Don't stone me, this is my first review =)
To get straight to the point: For me, yes, but with reservations as I'm not sure if the two fragrances can really be compared 1 to 1.
I had been searching for a scent that goes in the direction of Accento because I really like the DNA (Floral, Fruity, Fresh) but I don't like Accento on myself at all. Then, last week, I happened to come across this release from Nabeel. First impression in the perfume shop: "Hmmm, delicious but not love at first sniff." However, since I found it interesting, I got a small sample.
So the next morning, I just sprayed it on and let myself be surprised:
In the opening, I get an extremely delicious mix of various fruits, from which I can mainly smell pear, wonderfully supported by a hint of mint in the background. This blend is not at any point overpowering or disturbing, but very elegant and almost calming for me.
This opening seamlessly transitions into a still fruity heart note, to which many different flowers now join, making the fragrance very floral. At this point, I must say it is very difficult for me to pick out individual components as the entire scent is, in my opinion, extremely well balanced. I never get just one impression in my nose but it constantly shifts between fruity and floral notes. As a result, I perceive the perfume for a long time until it ultimately fades into a delicate creamy and slightly warming drydown that is only detectable close to the skin.
The scent is absolutely unisex for me and, in my opinion, fits every occasion and every season, although it will probably shine the most in spring and early summer.
For the presentation, I can only give 10/10 points. The bottle itself is already a small work of art and extremely well designed, and the sprayer does not disappoint either. Additionally, it comes with a travel case and is packaged in a high-quality box. There is absolutely nothing to criticize here.
In summary, for me, this is my new favorite for spring or just in between for feeling good. I find the price/performance ratio here quite justified.
