Why does it seem that no one has smelled this yet?
To me, the scent smells like pickled, sour cucumbers from beginning to end!! And unfortunately, not even subtly in the background, but rather quite intrusive.
At some point, a floral note may possibly come in, but in my opinion, it is completely irrelevant when you smell like cucumber water and vinegar.

I Like! The scent is wonderfully balanced, but for me, it’s not a unisex fragrance, unless you’re looking for a sweet gourmand scent!
Exceptionally not unbearably sweet and thus hardly wearable or headache-inducing, but pleasant and realistic. For me, it’s an almost photorealistic scent representation of a matcha/green tea mochi. The starch is the carrier of the sweetness, giving the sweetness a powdery quality that keeps it from being sticky-sweet. Nutty!
Great, as there’s surprisingly no vanilla note. The matcha note fits perfectly in, as it also brings a powdery-dry quality, but also a minimal green freshness that the scent definitely needed!
Well balanced compared to “Mono no aware” by Baruti, which in my opinion has a lot of similarities but has almost everything wrong that “Je ne sais quoi” seems to get right.

The previous reviews have made me curious, but also suspicious of "Mono no aware."
My first association is also bubble tea powder.. Perhaps already clouded by the reviews I've read, I can hardly smell anything else. It smells somehow like starch, so definitely powdery, but also very sweet.
Alongside something with cherry blossom, but not particularly rounded.
And then, probably the silver fir, which adds an underlying sharpness through its essential oils that could certainly give the whole thing a freshness, if the base weren't already such an overwhelming powdery-sweet overload.
Unfortunately not particularly chic..
Ps: the whole thing seems to be beautifully rounded "Je ne sais quoi" by Teo Cabanel.

For me, the cherry blossom is absolutely the focal point here. From the very beginning, the floral note is particularly pronounced and is surrounded by a light tea. I wouldn't describe the scent as particularly green..
It smells bright and clear. A freshness that is more reminiscent of the scent of fresh, crisp flower petals enveloped in morning dew rather than standing out through sprightliness.
I can't hardly smell the yuzu note. For me, the freshness is actually mainly noticeable in the dry down, where floral notes often have a powdery tendency, and that is less the case here.
All in all, great if you pay close attention, but also somewhat forgettably floral.

After a long search for a suitable tea scent, I think I have found it: Still by JLo!!
It's hard to believe that such a complex yet wearable fragrance can be found in a celebrity brand.
Right from the first spray, I noticed the soft yet distinct white tea note, embedded in a seductive freshness that, for once, does not rely on extremely sour citrus notes, but rather has a lightly fruity floral character.
In the drydown, a subtle sweetness emerges, rounded off by woody notes without feeling heavy. The development is not completely linear, but still not an unexpected/unfortunate surprise. Great!
For me, it's quite an ageless perfume. It probably fits best in spring due to its floral notes, but is certainly suitable year-round and has the potential to become a "signature scent".
However, it's best to buy it second-hand if you don't want to support JLo...
