Mellisande

After all the statements, I really have to write a comment.

The bottle is well-known, like the other Omnia fragrances.

I find the application a bit tricky, as it's hard to aim.

The scent is said to be insignificant, boring, a drugstore fragrance.

That may be true. However, I don't think so. Tastes differ.

The fragrance is fresh but not blue, aquatic.
It is fruity, but not an Escada fruit bomb.

Here I smell pink grapefruit, immediately followed by something slightly rosy, like peonies.
Yet the scent remains fruity, somewhat sweet and light - which I find lovely.
Overall, it’s a light fragrance, pleasant, not overpowering.
But even a fresh, simple scent can be attractive.
You don’t always have to make a statement or burst in the door.

Clean, fresh, fruity, subtle can also be appealing.

For me, it is currently the case that I really like subtle and clean fragrances.

And this one has a wonderful fruity note.
Nice for driving away the gray days in winter and getting in the mood for spring.

Tomorrow it’s supposed to be 16 degrees with sunshine for me, on February 21st!
A perfect day for Omnia Pink Sapphire, garden, sun, relaxing on Sunday.

In my statement, I already mentioned that I think the fragrance is great.

The longevity is very good for me, by the way.
I often have problems with fragrances dissipating quickly.
Not here.
I can still smell the fragrance on my clothes in the evening.
Very good for a light, subtle scent.

Here it is.
The workhorse, the scent for every day,
the scent that doesn't disturb, sting, or pinch anyone.

But now in order:

The bottle in the 100 ml version is very simple, I like it.
But beware! Risk of injury!
The cap not only looks round and heavy like a paperweight. Nooo.
This thing is also heavy. I weighed the cap. It weighs 66 g. Sounds light.
But don't drop it...like I did.
Cap intact, foot hurts.

The spray head sprays a not-so-large amount, misting finely.

The scent.
Now in the heat, I find it rather delicate and fleeting.
At first, I smell cheerful lemon. Similar to the shower gel from Kneipp Lebensfreude.
Great. I like it.
Immediately, a fine hint of the typical Cologne scent joins in. But it disappears quickly.
Something tiny and green flits by. A lemon leaf perhaps?
I don't smell much more in the heat.
But I generally have this problem with almost all scents at high temperatures. They all evaporate quite quickly, you don't even get the chance to sniff the entire fragrance pyramid.

You can spray quite a bit, but it's not very long-lasting.
At least not in tropical temperatures and humid air.
I need to test it further when it gets cooler.

For my workplace, it's a really nice workhorse. Subtle, no big sillage, unobtrusive, but clean and well-groomed.

I also came to this fragrance through a blind buy. The affordable price, you know how it is.

The bottle is transparent, square, and has rounded edges.
In the 50 ml variation, it fits very well in the hand.
The spray head doses well and mists slightly wet but neatly.

The scent reminds me of none from Escada or Versace with the distinct roses.
I would rather place a similarity with Light Blue and s.Oliver So Pure Women. Soft, citrus-fruity with a slight floral touch. But not so much that I can pinpoint a specific flower, nothing stands out or scratches.
Here you find a clean, fresh, soft scent. Delicate, feminine.
It suits a summer dress as well as jeans.

The sillage is at most stronger at the beginning, but it weakens immediately after the slightly alcoholic opening and becomes rather soft and close to the skin.
Longevity is also only slight, as it is a delicate scent. I personally don’t really perceive the fragrance after a short time. On clothing, especially in the evening when I change, it is still present.
Though this is the case for me with all fresh-delicate scents.

I haven't commented on this fragrance from my collection yet. It's about time.

The bottle is wonderfully simple, square, purple. With a heavy silver cap and a little ribbon.
It feels great in the hand with 50 ml.
The spray nozzle disperses well and delivers a decent amount.
1-2 sprays are enough for me personally. The sillage is strong at first, but then settles into an average range. With multiple sprays, it will surely become overpowering quickly.
The longevity is good, lasting up to 4-5 hours on me, much longer on clothing. Still detectable on a scarf for days.

There is a similarity to Tresor's Midnight Rose, with fruity notes of raspberry and also some bitter notes of cedar.
Personally, I find Tresor's Midnight Rose to be significantly more bitter-smoky than this lovely fragrance from Lanvin.
Because alongside the fruity fresh raspberries, there are also - I’ll call them watery notes. - Similar to a refreshing cooling drink in summer. Bright, clear, not aquatic but raspberry-fresh-watery. Very nice. I think this note comes from the violet leaf, watery like fresh dew.
However, to prevent the fragrance from drifting into purely fruity territory, some bitter notes come into play, where I primarily smell cedar, right alongside the raspberries from the very beginning.

I would classify it as a cool, adult, fruity-bitter fragrance.
I like it very much, but I fear it is gradually disappearing from the shelves and also from online shops. It is no longer found everywhere, and in some shops, it is being sold off in bulk packages.
Such a shame, but that way I can stock up.

There is little to find about this fragrance. It was a blind purchase without any indication of the heart, top, or base notes.

The thick bottle is orange with a gold spray cap and comes in a very large outer box.
The spray head sprays well and adequately.

The scent is clearly vanilla. For me, this is one of the two main ingredients. Unfortunately, my skin brings out spicy notes very quickly. And this happens to me extremely with this fragrance.
Alongside the distinctly vanilla note, a very strong suede note emerges; if this had been a bit finer, everything would have been fine.
But as it is, the suede note is quite strong, the fragrance is also very sweet, but due to the harshness of the suede, I would rather categorize it in the masculine range. However, I suspect it will be too sweet for many men.
