Flowers! And vanilla. How can you go wrong with this scent?
I love this perfume. Yes, it's it's simple, almost uncomplicated as an overall scent profile, yes its been overdone, but it's so flawless and fun and perfect! It's not really a "flowerbomb" per se, just an elegant, daytime, lighthearted floral with your almost standard musk, vanilla and patchouli base but it smells soo delicious! The dry- down is gorgeous as the vanilla in it is beautiful, warm and just right, and since the dry-down contains the whisper of all those florals that came before, I can't get enough of it, I keep smelling my wrist when I wear it in this phase.
It's an easy reach, an easy grab-and-spray that you don't have to think too much about if you want to have a touch of light, flowery, fun elegance to your day. It's sweet but not too sweet. Think going out for tea with your friends in a tea-café or simply a light spray before going to the office. The flowers blend well, there is almost a screechy note going on but not quite.
Suitable for most people of most ages, you have to be into floral vanilla combinations to like this. This is for a lighthearted person who doesn't take themselves too seriously. It's also fit mostly for spring and summer. Winter would be a bit weird, but I think you could pull it off if you really wanted to.
Longevity is great, silage is great too.
The bottle is supposed to mimic a grenade which I think is a cool play on the name, although it's not a bomb per say as I said - the color of the bottle says it all.
All in all a great purchase if you sniff it and like it. I don't think you'll regret it.

A green, green freshie for the organic, natural girl
Do you like green noted perfumes? If yes, this could be an interesting addition to your perfume arsenal. Not at all sweet, but somehow still airy and feminine, with this perfume Chloe set out to make a perfume out of 100% natural ingredients derived directly from nature. No synthethics.
As your scent options therefore are limited in this situation, what resulted is a very green, very light scent. The projection isn't large and neither is the longevity, so you would need to overspray. The perfume is so green its a bit sharp in its green-ness, but not screechy.
Its a fun experiment in perfumery, and once you know the story behind the scent, the smell of it makes sense. But you've got to be into green notes to like this, because its almost all green, with a very light, ozonic touch and just very light overall, with a sharp, dare I say, almost bitter note. It opens on a greenish citrus note, that fades quite quickly. I personally don't get much of the rose in it, neither the mimosa or neroli. What I mostly get is that citron, blackcurrant and cedarwood accord.
It's not my personal favourite, but I can see it fit for the minimalistic, organic, sustainable lifestyle oriented person who likes to wear whites and linens. Suitable for all ages maybe except teens. Definitely a daytime scent, it's and easy grab-and-spray that you don't have to think too much about, suitable for free time, picnics, walks on the beach, you know, fresh things. Could maybe even be fit for a nurse as a subtle, clean green scent. Did I say green a lot? I think you get the idea. :)

If you love a vanilla with caramelized sugar
This perfume is so beautiful in its simplicity. It is really just a beautiful, simple vanilla key note, with a kick of caramelized sugar on the side. And almost as if to remind you that this is still a perfume and not a gorgeous snack, there lingers a beautiful jasmine in the overtones of the scent, a slight hint that this is a created scent from a bottle.
The notes rests on a warm, cozy, complimentary tonka bean, and are grounded by a soft whisper of musk, and an beautiful amber and patchouli accord. Of course, you got to be into gourmands and be into a simple vanilla to like this. As a minimalist, I adore this scent.
The journey of it is fairly linear but gorgeous, simple and edible. Yum!
I only wish it would be a little bit stronger, and maybe bring the caramelized sugar note up one small notch, as it makes the scent so unique and a strong contender on the market.
If you're into beautiful gourmands, this is it. It is not too sweet and I think it works for all times of the year. Not office appropriate maybe, but for when you're looking to relax with friends, around the house or be fun on errands, with a bit of an upbeat mood.You could also litteraly wear this to bed. I think it could fit most ages if you're edgy like that.
The longevity is just okay for me, it goes a bit weak a bit fast, but that can be remedied by a bit of coconut oil or a cream layer base. I can't comment yet on silage, but my boyfriend loves it when I wear this, and if you're looking for a more intimate vanilla scent profile, then this might be for you. Huda Beauty did a great job with this one, I am so glad they didn't stop before 28. I just wish it was a bit stronger, projected a bit more, and lasted a bit longer due to its price point, as it's such a unique, minimalistic, uncomplicated, straight forward, lighthearted vanilla caramel delight.

Okei gourmand lovers, this is something for you
A delicious, beautiful, nutty fragrance with a hint of an almost bitter note in the pistachio for a bit of a kick, this sweet vanilla, tonkabean cashmere sweater of a perfume could be a staple of yours and even a signature scent if you love gourmands.
Dominique Ropion has done it again, one of the worlds best, most celebrated perfumers release yet another vanilla gourmand heaven. The lasting power is impeccable for your buck, so is the silage, you'll have a lot of fun with how strong this fragrance is with just a few sprays and for a middle- of-the road perfume in terms of price point. BUT... you have to love nutty, warm scents and you have to like sweet perfumes. If not, this is not for you.
There is also a beautiful pear and orange blossom accord in the opening, making it likeable, a touch more elegant and fit for office if you're gentle on the sprays. It's really fun, upbeat and uplifting and the drydown is additcive, warm and cozy and vanilla-y, with almond, cashmere and lactonic notes as a base. If you want a strong fragrance that makes a statement, this is for you. Not a summer scent though, as I think the sweetness of it can get too cloying in the heat, but perfect for spring, fall and winter. I think it is fit for a younger leaning woman, anything between 17-37 or maybe even older if you love it and can pull the sweetness of. I love it and can't be without it. It was even once my signature scent. Thank you Dominique, this one is so much gourmandy fun!

Loe love love!
I love it. It is similar enough to BR540 to never get the original if you don't have the budget for it. Yes, the middle notes and drydown is a bit different from the niche version, but this perfume is such a delight, it is fun to wear and for a fraction of the cost, it is unbeatable. Where BR540 has a more airy, ozonic and slight medicinal quality, this perfume has way less of that medicinal, hospital vibe that some people complain about when it comes to its niche counterpart.
It's sweet, fun, lighthearted, suitable for day and night, all times of year except maybe December. It just screams "I am having fun".
You've got to like sweet scents to get this, and maybe also be a bit of a gourmand lover as the coconut dominates the scent in a delightful way.
I would never want to be without this perfume.
In my opinion, the projection is above average and the silage is too. You can definetly smell if someone around you is wearing this. Maybe not suitable for office, but for sure free-time, and almost any casual occasion.
The staying power is excellent. One can get anosmic to this one, however, so watch out, you might not even smell it on yourself after a certain point. I once didn't, but my boyfriend was very clear that he could smell it on me.
I love that AG did this, it´s so cheeky to release such a good performing cheapie of a groundbreaking, staple niche fragrance. If you like BR540, I think you'll like this one, but obviously, if you can afford the BR540, go for that one, as it has something exclusive and magical about it, with its airy, ozonic touch. Not too fond of the medicinal- leaning opening of BR540 one though.
Absolutely lovely, its simple, rounded, fresh colored bottle design which, without the plastic cloud part, lies good in the hand and has a nice atomizer. I think for the price point you can't go wrong if you like coconut, sweetness and are looking for a fun, not too serious fragrance most perfect for summer days.
