You probably know it, especially at this time of year, you walk into the kitchen and a piercing citrus scent fills the air. Someone has just peeled an orange or mandarin. The freshly brewed tea is steeping on the countertop. It’s a green tea, with lemon and honey. That’s roughly how "Les Parfums Matières - Fleur de Thé | Karl Lagerfeld" smells to me. Just more summery, as there’s no cinnamon or clove involved. I sprayed it on today, and unfortunately, the scent faded after just 2-3 hours. Maybe someone could still smell it on me, but I couldn’t detect it anymore. The price is unbeatable, so you can easily reapply it more often. It also layers well with a warmer scent that contains vanilla or cinnamon to make it more festive. It was a blind buy and I’m not mad about it ..:)

First of all ..I love the scents from Theo, I have many (7 as samples and so far 4 as full sizes). This one is my first "masculine" fragrance, because I didn't pay attention to the description when purchasing. As mentioned in previous statements, it starts off nicely fresh, unisex, and then becomes more masculine. A bit comparable to common drugstore fragrances but in a "nicer" way. The aquatic notes come through well. It's not oud or leather ..which makes it finally -smellable- for me. I just can't get into the current trend where everyone smells like camel-ass** I like it when my husband smells fresh, a bit like aftershave, a hint of salt, sporty ..like a handsome water man a la ..you know who. I don't think Aqua Man smells like burnt wood, how could he? ..in the cool water, nothing burns :) I find it "fragrant" and my man can look forward to Christmas and I don't have to search for a gift any longer -win/win.

It's an everyday scent for men over 25 in my opinion, also a fragrance for younger fathers (because my son said it smells like dad), wearable all year round but it definitely shines best in summer.

By the way, the price is great for Theo's fragrances. The Greek knows what he's doing. :)

I have to defend Zara fragrances a bit.
(Disclaimer: If you decide against the fragrances due to the general business practices, exploitation, working conditions, production methods, etc., that is of course important and right ..I am only addressing the fragrances themselves here..)

Yes, the fragrances are priced very low, which makes it all the more surprising to me that they smell so good (many of them, not all). In my opinion, better than some expensive scents I have had the chance to sniff here and there. Maybe I am just simple-minded and can't appreciate things like leather, oud, and saffron. I like it floral, soft, powdery, and slightly sweet. Nothing medicinal, nothing that smells (stinks) three miles away, if you will "Crowd Pleaser" ..but I stand by that. I am also not against synthetics, but I do appreciate the scent of natural extracts as well.

I find this fragrance, to get to the point, has all that I like and have briefly described. I am now 40 years old ..and yet this fragrance is not too sweet for me. It is very feminine, powdery but not overly sweet. It could well be a body lotion scent, but not one based on milk - rather one of those fruity-sweet creams, mixed with shower gel. By the way, I also like cotton scents and clean, white, and "non-perfumey" fragrances. This one leans towards pink and you can already tell that you are wearing a perfume (Eau de Toilette). The longevity is mediocre, but at this price, you can easily reapply.

I think it fits every season and almost every age group. I see it more for women.

I bought this little, cheeky fruit for my daughter for her birthday. This morning it was time, the gift was unwrapped and her eyes were wide... Peppa! "I love Peppa Pig"... Surprise successful. I thought it would definitely smell like strawberry and cream and be totally squeaky. Far from it! The first spray... then I got the wide eyes. What??! What an amazing scent is this?? Damn... now I want it..! It's so fresh (gardenia, lily?) and a bit fruity (mango, pear?). I don't have the fragrance pyramid in mind while writing, but that's what I smell. It's synthetic too, but strangely I like that. It's definitely not made directly for kids, maybe teenagers, but they probably don't like Peppa anymore. Now I will probably steal it from my daughter from time to time.

Update: I had to slightly adjust the longevity and sillage downwards. It's not quite as strong as it was at the beginning when I tested the fragrance.

I have been able to test the scent for a few days now, thanks to a sample, and I must say, I cannot agree with the negative review.

I keep sniffing my wrist, closing my eyes, and instantly feel good, smiling and getting a warm feeling of security. Perhaps childhood memories are coming through - it’s possible that the scents of many sweets and fairs are influencing me unconsciously. However, I cannot make a connection to pear ice cream. (Fortunately, because I don’t particularly like that). It is sweet and at the same time citrusy. There is something powdery in it - maybe I once had a shower gel that went in that direction. On my skin, it develops softer, as if someone is wrapping me in a pink fluffy wool blanket.
Is it synthetic? Maybe, then I must be into this type of synthetic. The longevity is moderate, and I don’t feel like I can be smelled from three meters away - and that’s not necessary.
When my partner hugs me, he smiles and also closes his eyes, not wanting to let me go.

If a perfume has this effect - then it can stay. The bottle was ordered immediately :) The price-performance ratio is definitely great here!
