Generic Fruit Compote
Fruity sweet, the scent clings to my wrist. Rather flat and without much development on my skin, I find "My Way" quite generic. Like a cheap drugstore fragrance from the 90s/early 2000s Bravo-teen years, fitting for the song Barbie Girl by the band Aqua. Oh God, a shiver runs down my spine. Thankfully, those times are over, and I absolutely do not want to resurrect them with this fragrance - hell no.

Sugar, oh, Honey, Honey
A scent so sweet that it sticks to your nose.
Right after spraying, it is sweet but still slightly fresh, then the thick, syrupy honey scent wafts to the surface and envelops you completely. I'm not usually one for such sweetness, but somehow this intensity, almost penetrance, has something attractive about it, making me constantly sniff my wrist. Do I like it or not? In summer, I would drown in this scent. Perhaps it's more suitable for cooler days, hmmm, rather very cool days...
I have to be careful with the dosage of this stickiness, otherwise the overkill with headaches is pre-programmed. It also lasts a long time, sugary bomb-style.
But sprayed lightly, it could sweeten a fall day or winter evening for me (heh, oh man, I’ll stop now).
By the way, I also find the name unsuitable. The little kicking legs fit well in that you (I) could quickly drown in the honey scent if you get a bit too generous while applying.

Caressing Freshness
Also a blind buy for me, after Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden had already surprised me so beautifully.
Only slightly sweet, a bit tangy, and above all reminiscent of wind-blown, freshly washed white sheets on the clothesline. Not intrusive, but a lovely companion for every day or just in between.
It doesn't last very long, but for the affordable price, you can just spray it on more often.
I like it :)

From a Mandarin Explosion to Insignificance
Nasty title, nasty...
Unfortunately, I cannot agree with the many good reviews.
After spraying it on the skin, the scent is strongly mandarin-fresh with a hint of basil. But this only lasts for 5 minutes on me. After that, the fragrance inevitably fades away, and after 1 hour, it's gone.
In between, it takes on a slight toilet stone note, something very clean, but somehow irrelevant.
On my skin at least, it completely fails. Maybe it's better suited for scenting hair or clothing. I need to test that.
What a shame.

Elegant Heaviness
I received a fragrance sample and am still in the process of testing it.
But *unf* the scent has something that captivates me.
It feels heavy, almost overwhelming, at first sniff. Yet the combination of plum and bergamot makes you pause. And then the rose comes in with the musk and vanilla, and it’s all over for you. Sensual and seductive, yet also elegant and mysterious. It’s as if you can’t quite grasp the fragrance, but you desperately want to dive deeper into it. It is loving and at the same time assertive. You have no chance and must surrender to it or even submit.
I find it simply fascinating :)
