Easy-to-grab summer fragrance
It’s a pleasant and light fragrance you can grab and spray whenever you want to smell nice in summer. Despite its name, I couldn’t detect any tea notes. It has more of a refreshing and citrusy aspect. There’s nothing harsh or strong here, just pure pleasure.
Longevity and sillage are pretty bad, but it’s understandable at this price. I won’t purchase it, but I would happily spray it if someone gave it to me.
Photorealistic Orange
It’s like I’m in the middle of orange groves, picking out the freshest, juiciest oranges! Orange Soleia smells like pure orange, but its slight green vibes make it smell like perfect orange trees.
You might even mistake this with real orange juice at the first spray. It’s not like those containing sugar and additional ingredients, but which contain ONLY oranges. Oranges here balance well between being sweet and bitter. It’s not necessarily sweet, but it’s not that bitter, either. I could say it’s linear, but it doesn’t lack complexity. There’s a minty breeze in the background with a meek pepper touch, which makes it high-qualified.
It’s perfect for a scorching hot summer, and surprisingly, it stays well on my skin for 6 hours indoors. Staying power deteriorates when I go outside, but it still lingers for a decent amount of time. The sillage is pretty good, too.
Sour raspberry jam
Fresh and sour raspberry jam with marshmallows! Ari is sweet but not cloying or sugary. It's a lovely, easy-to-reach fruity-floral overall. Anyone who loves sweet-sour scents can pull this off, but it would be the best for teens or early twenties.
I sampled almost all of them, and Ari was better than other Ariana Grande’s offerings. If I were to buy another of her offerings, I would get this one.
Powdered Porcelain Doll
Iris Porcelana is a perfume-like, powdery, and slightly greasy iris fragrance. And IP is something my mom or granny would wear. It reminds me of a porcelain doll with a purple dress and violet powder on its cheeks. A mature, vintage-dressed woman with a soft aura comes to my mind, too.
There’s Ex Nihilo’s DNA running down its vein. Iris Porcelana has similar vibes to Fleur Narcotique and Lust In Paradise when it dries down, even though these three are entirely different fragrances.
The scent is good, and it would be great for someone who can pull off this fragrance, but it induced a headache for me after one spray.
Longevity and sillage are great. The scent still lingered in the room even after I had windows opened for a couple of hours.
Sandalwood Powder
Santal Calling is a promising sandalwood fragrance. Sandalwood here is very smooth, dry, gentle, and never offending. Milk makes it softer and gentler, but milk is barely detectable solely. Santal Calling reminds me of iced hot chocolate with sandalwood powder instead of cocoa powder.
Santal Calling has more coldness than warmth, but still very comforting. It lasts a decent amount of time, and the sillage is moderate. It slightly leans masculine, but overall, anyone can wear it. I wouldn’t buy it due to its high price and slightly masculine tone, but I’d love it on others.
