The other day at the nail salon...
One or the other of you has certainly been in a nail salon, where among other things acrylic nails are produced. Already from afar, this quite penetrating penetrating smell of acrylic liquid flows towards you - it smells, to my mind, very unhealthy and you are anxious not to breathe in too deeply..
This is exactly how Nacarat starts when sprayed on. Apart from the acrylate smell, I can't smell any other fragrance component. With increasing dwell time on the skin, the acrylate smell becomes less and a few (synthetic) flowers look past - paired with fruity sweetness of the raspberry. Gradually, the scent settles down a bit and I notice mostly the orange blossom with raspberry. In the base, patchouli & vanilla is also perceptible in addition to the sweet-fruity berries.
Throughout the course, this plastic touch remains. Along with the olfactory impression I perceive in many gourmand Fruitchoulis (especially in La Vie est Belle).
Those prone to fragrance-induced headaches should be careful here. In the overall impression Nacarat is already quite loud and sweet, holds on my skin also quite long (>6h, with hand washing).
Who likes this plastic note in fragrances and who clearly synthetic components do not bother, should sniff here with pleasure times sample.

THE spring scent
Aquatic floral with sun cream association.
Starts off playfully floral, with the flowers becoming more lush as it progresses, while aquatic notes of lotus and melon are clearly perceptible. Although I would classify the fragrance as delicate, it is also multi-layered and complex, as if you were standing in a meadow full of different spring flowers at a pond with water lilies and lotus blossoms. The musk base together with the sandalwood underlines the fragrance's character and rounds off the fragrance.
Very harmonious fragrance artwork, stylish and high quality. Whenever I smell Vicolo Fiori, it reminds me of watercolour paintings, which for me perfectly match the dreamy-watery, delicate scent character.

Ethereal-woody wellness scent
After spraying, I immediately notice the pineapple, which is underlined by citrus notes. Already here I have the impression that the fragrance is going in a tart woody direction, as I find Zen more aromatic than fresh. Something floral cannot be explicitly scented, but remains rather in the background. The woody base, on the other hand, comes strongly to the fore, with patchouli clearly dominating.
The intensity of the scent is quite strong for my perception and like the Chanel Chance EdT (has in my opinion a strong similarity to Zen) the pineapple-patchouli-combo makes the scent relatively heavy. For hotter days or summer it would definitely be too much for me. Nevertheless, I would call Zen a wellness fragrance, because it radiates peace and balance.
Conclusion:
Citric aromatic with a slightly musty undertone. Normally I like patchouli very much, but in this combination it is not pleasant on my skin.
Just like Chance EdT, this is also perceived negatively by my environment, but I'm pretty sure that it is due to me or my skin smell..

Glacier Ice Candy
Like Bosque, a very unusual fragrance for my perception. Penetrating pungent sharp green meets something milky (in the direction of Diptyques Philosykos). This milky is present throughout. I also think I perceive something ethereally herbal (sage?). In between I get an ice candy association again and again. I perceive this fragrance as rather disharmonious in the overall picture, as the fragrance components do not blend into each other, but stand out individually.

A bee dream
Not as green as I thought, for me honey dominates very much. I don't notice freshness, berries and citrus. I am thinking more of nectar, accompanied by orange blossom and lilac (for my nose the flowers go slightly in the Indolian direction). All in all, I get a green-influenced soft floral scent that looks very harmonious. The unmistakable Guerlinade gets through strongly in the base - unfortunately I don't like it. Another proof that I can't get warm with Guerlain scents.
