Linthebottle

... through the jungle of Australia. Supposedly equipped with camouflage clothing and appropriate gear. Suddenly, in my quest for the plant of desire, something hits me square in the face. It takes me a few minutes to regain my composure, my head still aches. For heaven's sake, what was that? Nothing in sight. A glance beside me reveals: the bush with the pink small flowers is still shaking. Did it knock me out? The Tasmanian Boronia!

Yes, that is my first impression. A real floral punch. Extreme. Very unfortunate. Of course, I went in with expectations: I thought the scent would be a bit younger, that the little flowers would dance around the Boronia. No, nothing is dancing. Something is just there and doesn’t go away for a long time. Also a bit old-fashioned - I find it somewhat grandma-like. I can still smell the sandalwood and the jasmine well. But that’s just my perception.
The color of the juice in the bottle also matches the scent very well. Dark pink...present

In the development of the scent, it calms down. Not an everyday fragrance and it lasts and radiates. I wouldn’t have thought it would be so interesting, even in its progression. I believe, either you like it or you don’t. I can’t imagine a 'it's okay'.

... for the perfect summer scent.

I believe I have found it for this year (I think ;)).

Izia comes across as cheerful, citrusy, and rosy. I even think I can smell mandarin. The peony is definitely present, beautiful.
Fresh, fruity, rosy, and cheerful - the perfect all-day summer fragrance. The perfect summer scent can be worn (almost) anytime, which others cannot. Even an extra spritz doesn't overwhelm those around you. It has no coconut or vanilla, which can often make scents sexy but also take away the lightness and carefreeness. This one doesn't have that, and in my opinion (please don’t stone me) it’s better without for summer.

Sport? Check, it can be worn, it’s fresh.
Office? Check, it can be worn, it’s feminine and light.
Date? Check, it can be worn, cheerful and not overwhelming.
Evening at the beach? Of course, hello, this is a summer scent.
At a party? Sure, but it’s a bit weak in that regard. But hey, it’s a great summer feel-good fragrance.
I just put on sandals and I’m ready to go, almost at the meeting point. No winter jacket, no scarf, heavy lace-up boots, etc. That’s how Izia smells.

It also smells elegant and high-quality. I give it my stamp of approval: Top!

I was very curious about this fragrance. Finally, I got to smell it. It reminds me (for some reason, the notes have nothing to do with each other) of Narciso EDP Ambree.
Very feminine, fruity-floral, and creamy. A bit of a diva, a woman in a chic bikini, more for sunbathing and showing off than for swimming, and a thin beach towel draped over her shoulders strolls along the white sandy beach. A bit of Raffaello ad vibes. Well done for a drugstore scent, good sillage, not a light breeze. Definitely eye-catching.

Unfortunately, it's not my taste for summer, due to the creaminess. Personally, I miss the freshness (fruity freshness). But it is definitely worth a try.

A beautiful peony scent.
Feminine - I consciously say not female, because female for me is the woman in the red, form-fitting mermaid dress, more sensual.
This woman is the sweet, "harmless" version. The woman in the pink cozy turtleneck sweater, who still believes in romance. She wants to be noticed, but in a "sweet" and classic way. A very stylish fragrance. Simply beautiful! It doesn't always have to be deep and "maneater."

One can smell the top and heart notes well here, just like with the EDP.
The passion fruit greets you, and quickly the hazelnut cream follows, as it doesn’t want to miss out.

This earthy note, as in the EDP, is absent, which will certainly please many.

Overall, it is fruity with passion fruit and bright milk chocolate. There is definitely a strong resemblance to the EDP, almost like the little sister.
While the hazelnut is more prominent in the larger version, here passion fruit and hazelnut are in a duel; I would say the passion fruit always has the upper hand. It doesn’t smell oddly synthetic, no, you can recognize it, you can smell it as such.

It is quite strong at the beginning, but then calms down and gradually weakens. It can be dosed well/reapplied.

It is suitable for more occasions than the EDP, as it is also bearable in rooms. Still, I would recommend not spraying it right before going out, but rather a bit earlier, so it can settle down slowly.

All in all, a complete success.
