I must first say that I haven't been to perfume stores for quite a while. That's why I've been avoiding this scent for a long time. It's been on the market for a few years now. But thank goodness, I got to know it recently and find it worth a comment from my side.

Upon spraying, the blackcurrant immediately hits my nose. Wow... Intense... The pear and iris also don't take long to show up on my skin... Hmmm... Very pleasant.

Over time, the scent becomes noticeably softer, but it's still there and present.

Overall, I find the perfume sweet, floral, but also somewhat sensual, and it lasts almost the whole day on my skin. Feminine, but not too 'ladylike'.

In the meantime, I bought a small bottle because the scent is well-suited for my everyday life.

Perhaps some of you still remember the perfume chain Yaska. I believe it was eventually bought by Douglas. But back then, when I was still a teenager, hanging out with my friends in that perfume shop for hours, it was always associated with special excitement for us 'chicks'. The saleswomen observed us with a mix of suspicion and amusement as we tried out so many fragrances... And we came home smelling of all sorts of things (and bought bath bombs like crazy, but that's a whole different memory...) But this scent particularly captivated me back then. And I was immensely proud when I finally had my own little bottle.

Recently, it was brought back to my attention through a sample sent from a perfume shop. As soon as I sprayed it, the past came rushing back: fresh, citrusy, clean, and a scent to feel good in, but not one to stand out too much. Absolutely unisex for me.

I believe it is also responsible for my ongoing preference for unisex fragrances even today. I wouldn't buy it for myself anymore, as the longevity is just too poor. But the sample was a nice trip back to my youth....
