This is almost a 1:1 dupe of Moschino Bubble Gum.

However, this scent is much spicier and starts off very citrusy, whereas the Bubblegum scent from Moschino kicks off with a sweet bubblegum note - which quickly fades away.

Zara's Eternal Devotion begins with a citrusy peppery note and quickly develops into a very strong rose scent, with a very nice cleanliness. A well-groomed fragrance, rarely encountered. A sweet bubblegum note always lingers, I like it.

Good everyday scent, too quiet for going out.
Can handle a few more sprays, which is definitely doable at a price of €20 for 100ml.

Conclusion: A very very good dupe of Moschino Toy Boy Bubblegum, definitely ONLY for rose fans, as the rose is extremely dominant.

Ordered online blind because I liked the scent pyramid.

When I unpacked it, the first thing that struck me was this beautiful, extravagant, and stylish bottle. I thought to myself - if the contents are only half as beautiful, I would already be satisfied.

But what I smelled when I sprayed it for the first time is pure madness.

It smells like roasted peach on the skin - sweet, fruity but with a strong smoky note. It smells like compote, like very sweet hot compote that is just freshly made.

My mother has a pastry shop where I like to help out during the Christmas season. When we make fresh apricot jam there, it smells just like this. I can even detect a slight rum note.

I have never smelled anything comparable, I am thrilled. Something so delicious!

After a while, I smell roasted almonds, vanilla, caramel, honey. The scent remains consistently sweet but becomes even softer, the smokiness disappears.
With this scent, I could easily pass as a cookie in Mom's pastry shop, just begging to be bitten into.

However, it is important for me to note that it is not a childish sweetness. The scent smells mature, refined, and a bit sexy due to the rum, smoke, and leather notes. This is not a run-of-the-mill sweet fragrance, not a beginner's scent, this is a statement.

The longevity is completely insane, it lasts and lasts and lasts. Sillage is very strong.
I am already looking forward to rocking this scent all winter, whether at the Christmas market or in the bakery!

I received a sample of this as a gift, and right from the first sniff, I liked it.

Liked it. Nothing more. Since I was invited to a cocktail party that same evening, I thought - this fits, it’s summery - let’s put it on.

Three days later. I’m packing my suitcase for vacation. I don’t have much space left, but a mini perfume can still fit in. Packed Dioriviera and wore it diligently on vacation.

Today - I’m meeting a friend for ice cream. I want something summery - on goes Dioriviera.

And only today did I really learn to appreciate it. Only today did I notice it properly. Only today do I realize that I’ve fallen in love with it.

Dioriviera is not just a summery "always-fits perfume." He is so much more.
He is also not just fig-rose.
The scent is SO MUCH MORE on me.

Dioriviera is herbal, green, I smell sage, rosemary, a hint of lemon balm, and the aforementioned fig and rose. It brings a summery lightness, my mood lifts as soon as I smell Dioriviera.

The scent is sooo beautiful. I feel feminine and grown-up with it. I feel well-groomed and somehow also sexy, even though there’s nothing scandalous about this fragrance. I automatically feel confident with it.

The rose prevents the scent from becoming scratchy, it makes it very feminine.
The longevity is good and the sillage is moderate to strong. There’s no scent development, it remains consistently the same.

As a commitment, I’ve now ordered the 40ml version and thus stand by my new love, Dioriviera.

It was 2013, I was sitting in the classroom during my training as a nurse.
For weeks, I had been smelling such a beautiful scent every day, and when I finally managed to locate it that day, I asked the wearer what this wonderful fragrance was.
This incredible cleanliness, this powderiness, this soapiness - I was completely taken by the scent that was emanating from a colleague sitting behind me.

My colleague's name was Petra. She was a beautiful woman in her late 30s with long dark hair. She always looked well-groomed, was subtly made up, and simply super elegant.

I, on the other hand, was 18, with hair that was light blonde and over-bleached, a face full of piercings, and my eyes painted black every day. Back then (and still now), I was a chaotic person with pet rats. So, Petra and I were very contrary.

She showed me the bottle, and I ran to the nearest drugstore after class. I sprayed it on my wrist.

What happened? The scent was completely different on me. It smelled old, musty, and I felt like I was wearing a disguise. It was dusty floral, with no trace of the cleanliness I had smelled on Petra. I was infinitely disappointed.
It just didn’t suit me.

So it turned out that I continued to only love Cerruti 1881 on Petra and was always happy when she wore it.

Now, here we are, eleven years later. I am now 29, and recently, out of nowhere, this scent suddenly came back to my mind. My life has changed, I have grown older, and I am in a completely different place than I was back then. I had to give Cerruti 1881 another chance.

I bought it on my way to work, sprayed it on at the start of my shift (by the way, I’m no longer a nurse), and BAM - I was blown away.

Oh my God, how beautiful is this scent on me? Clean floral soap.
I smell like I’ve just moisturized, like I’ve just showered. The scent is floral fresh and becomes beautifully powdery in the dry down.
Jasmine & violet are hand in hand, and in the base, I perceive woody notes.

Despite all the clean notes, 1881 is not light and quiet. It is feminine and very present. It has a very strong sillage and incredible longevity. It lasted through the entire 8-hour shift.

I find it incredibly exciting how loud such a clean scent can be; it is a statement, it has recognizability.

I am not a Clean Girl and I won’t be one anymore. Some may think that the scent still doesn’t suit me. But now, at 29, I am so confident that I have simply made it work for me.

Red fruits, mixed with beautiful rose and patchouli.
I notice a pepper note that runs through all the layers.

I like it. Guilty Absolute feels well thought out and has depth. It brings both pleasant weight and warmth.
Perfect for autumn and winter.

The fragrance has good longevity and the sillage is strong. It's too special and too loud for daily wear, but I enjoy wearing it for dinner or special occasions.
