Granny, who makes you feel young; or: looks good on the outside, bad on the inside
I got to know Couture Couture when a perfume saleswoman handed me a sample of it almost two years ago.
This scent confused me from the very beginning: on one hand, I found it very youthful, girlish, and on the other hand, mature. Similar to a classic Chanel bag, which also looks great on young women.
I found the contradiction of "youthfulness-maturity" intriguing and regularly sniffed the sample. Because I liked the trophy-shaped bottle, I ordered a 100ml bottle, and that’s where the fascination ended: What smelled confusing yet interesting in the vial transformed into something elderly and yet bubblegum-tacky-annoying: like a shaky, lifted Texan woman with loud makeup. Still, I will keep CC; the bottle alone is worth it.
CC slightly reminds me of the much prettier Monoï. I would bet that there are Tiaré flowers in it.

Floral Tea Scent with Saffron - Pleasant but Not Stunning.
This is my first perfume comment on Parfumo :)
Bottle:
The bottle is made of transparent glass, triangular in cross-section, and fits well in the hand. The liquid is slightly pink, and the lettering is in pink. The cap is silver-colored and resembles a jeans button, which fits well with the American fashion of the brand "Tommy Hilfiger".
Scent:
The opening is citrusy with bergamot and lemon. Soon, flowers join in. In the base, the tea - I assume rooibos tea - becomes quite prominent and is underscored by the slightly muted bitter aroma of saffron. Saffron as a fragrance component in perfumes was previously unknown to me, but I find it exciting and harmonious with the tea.
The reference to the classic Tommy Girl, also a tea scent, is noticeable, although Tommy Girl is much fruitier and less reserved. Overall, Tommy Girl Brights reminds me of the unisex scent "Eau Parfumée au Thé Rouge" by Bulgari, which is unfortunately no longer produced, but it feels more feminine due to the flowers.
Longevity:
The longevity is moderate and does not reach that of Tommy Girl.
Overall Impression:
In my opinion, Tommy Girl Brights is a floral tea scent, initially citrusy-floral, with a bitter base. Nice for daytime in spring or summer for young women up to their mid-20s. Pleasant, but not stunning. A bit too tame for me.
