When Men Get It Completely Wrong
This "fragrance has only been commented on and rated quite highly by men so far. I read in the comments of my predecessors that D&G pour Homme is an expression of masculinity. Guys, do you really believe that? Do you actually like this scent? Phew, what a mystery! The same thought occurred to me when my better half came home after his power 5-minute Douglas shopping spree with pour Homme. It was love and not an expression of masculinity that made me endure this "fragrance" bravely until the last drop. Now please fasten your seatbelts, put your seat in an upright position, and hold on, brace, safety brace:
The scent is pure horror. Instead of male chest hair, my neck hairs stand on end, and I can only smell toilet stone. The whole composition is so badly done that one would wish to be anosmic. I'm not exaggerating. On top of that, the scent is so skillfully penetrating. There aren't many fragrances that I rate this poorly, but when a scent truly makes you feel nauseous, you can confidently give it 0%. So for the purpose of dating, this fragrance is really unsuitable, as only a solid and stable relationship can tolerate this scent for a short time. Otherwise, the recommendation is that you men please keep this fragrance among yourselves, because the world of women certainly hasn't been waiting for this. Sorryyyyyy!
Edit: After this daring scent experiment of my partner, for whose brave endurance I would deserve the local city medal, I actually went out and bought him a decent fragrance and showed him that perfume can smell good too ;-)
EditEdit: Had to give the scent 10% because 0% is currently not available :-(
EditEditEdit: Here we apparently have the "male" counterpart to APOM pour Femme, see my comment on that ;-)

Fruit kisses incense
Whenever a form of the word "Love" or "Amour" appears in a fragrance name, it usually indicates to me that the scent is heading in a sweet, possibly playful direction. Lovely Day is also relatively sweet, but it is not a squeaky, synthetic sweetness; rather, it is an opulent, ripe fruit sweetness. If I were to assign a color to this fragrance, it would be a sunny, saturated yellow. My very first association when spraying the perfume is a sun-ripened honeydew melon. This image continues to manifest. Contrary to my predecessors, I do not perceive Lovely Day as floral at all, but rather as a pure fruit scent. Within this honeydew fragrance, there is, on one hand, a shampoo note (soapy quality) and on the other hand, a faint but distinctly perceivable incense.
You have to like that. The scent is oddly boldly composed. I know of no comparison. Overall, the fragrance is very temperamental. It is a hot-blooded fruit scent with intentional airs. The combination with the incense makes a certain difference. This may be very appealing to many users with corresponding preferences for fruit and incense, but for me, it unfortunately does not work so well due to other preferences.
Conclusion: temperamental, yellow fruit scent with an interesting incense note.

Do I really smell like Nivea with this Mecheri?
Mecheri fragrances have always deserved my respect, but they never won my heart. They are truly wonderful scents. Finely composed, harmonious, and coherent. They hug the skin like a second aura. Their drawback, in my opinion, or rather their characteristic, which is culturally intended, is the weak projection. I don’t even want to talk about sillage, as it is practically non-existent. This is also the case with Mihimè. Nevertheless, the scent is so beautiful, so incredibly good, that I overlook this exception.
Does Mihimè really smell like Nivea as everyone says? Yes! It smells like the white cream from the blue jar that we all remember from our childhood. It smells as creamy as I have never experienced with any other fragrance. Bright, white, soft, beautiful care cream! For me, it falls into the category of "care fragrances" and "feel-good fragrances." Absolutely top-notch!
But why can’t I share this scent with others, show it to them, or let them smell it? Unfortunately, that doesn’t work at all with Mecheri's Mihimè. It is discreet and stays very close to the wearer. Normally, I don’t wish for any chemistry in fragrances, but here it would be appropriate to make the dreamily beautiful scent a bit louder. So, Mihimè remains a pure private pleasure, a luxury just for one’s own nose.
What I and perhaps some Western noses might perceive as a drawback is, however, quite intentional in the Far Eastern cultural sphere. Scent clouds are considered a faux pas, an impolite, disrespectful disturbance of the surroundings. In my opinion, this fragrance must also submit to this sad dictate, and I can only hope that one day there will be an extreme variant, especially since Mecheri lives in the USA, where a large, perhaps even puritanically influenced, customer base demands fragrances that smell clean and well-groomed.
Due to its beauty, it definitely ranks among my top five care fragrances. My number one remains unchallenged: Madison Soirée by Bond No. 9.
Conclusion: Top fragrance for fine noses who like to feel comfortable in their own skin and don’t care about the effect of their scent on others. Luxury for one’s own nose.

Luxury Class Natural Perfume?
Without any prior knowledge of this brand, I approached White by Undergreen with curiosity. The simple yet elegantly solid-looking bottle, however without a balloon sprayer, immediately caught my attention. The first test was on a paper strip and captivated me right away. Bright, cheerful, girlish-feminine, slightly floral, and clean were my spontaneous associations. I thought I recognized a familiar gardenia-tuberose duet, as found in many fragrances that I personally like. The scent lingers beautifully on the paper strip for quite a while, but eventually a sweet coconut emerges, which I find a bit too playful.
On the skin, however, this sweet coconut is not so prominent.
Overall, the fragrance is rather lively. I would categorize it as a "good mood fragrance." To me, it feels youthful and very modern. It embodies a lot of joy for life, fun, youthfulness, and drive. This fragrance, or rather its sillage, is shared with others just as one shares a smile to spread good cheer.
Contrary to my predecessors, I did not perceive this fragrance as synthetic at all, even without prior knowledge of the Undergreen brand. Paradoxically, the fragrances from the Undergreen brand are purely natural. In other words: It is a natural perfume! Who would have thought?! Here, our image of boring, monothematic, weak natural perfumes is completely turned on its head. This natural perfume has absolute niche status. It is so intense and long-lasting that one might think there is synthetic material behind it. No, that is not the case! What lies behind it is innovation. An intelligent molecular kitchen in the fragrance sector. Natural essences that are split into their smaller subunits to be reassembled into something new. The result is absolute intensity, unlike anything known from conventional natural scents. Therefore, it is not surprising that my previous commentators associate synthetic and chemical elements here, as if some kind of "flavor enhancers" were at work. No, this fragrance is as far removed from a synthetic scent as a bag of chips is from mother's homemade potato salad :-)
I attribute the plastic association to the sweet coconut note, which, as mentioned, did not appeal to me on the paper strip, but did not come to the forefront during the skin test.
Conclusion: An innovative niche fragrance for youthful, cheerful spirits, a mood lifter for natural perfume fans.

Not so pink!
I expected a vibrant, fruity-sweet girl’s scent, and was initially disappointed that the bright pink is actually more of a pale rose.
At first, the fragrance seems synthetic and very boring. An unnamed, characterless pink water. But then comes the big, pleasant surprise: grapefruit as delicate and beautiful as the noble bergamot veil over a good Earl Grey. Fleur D'Ombre Rose by Brosseau is also a pink fruity scent with an Earl Grey veil. The two fragrances are very similar to each other. But So Pink by Gap is not as loud and much more subtle, and it has an additional facet - a distinct shampoo note. A lovely, light summer fragrance.
