Rice Pudding? Rice Pudding!
A few things upfront:
1. I like it sweet.
2. I'm a fan of rice pudding.
3. My nose is certainly not as spoiled as some others here. :o)
When you sniff the bottle of "Rice Body Care," you can clearly smell the rice note; even the first minute after spraying it on, it is very present. Then it almost completely disappears. If you know that rice is in there, you can still sense it, but otherwise probably not - at least not on my skin (thankfully) not. The scent is then sweet, soft, vanilla-like, cozy, and slightly powdery. I don't find it that synthetic; I've encountered worse. Of course, it's not a masterpiece, and if spoiled noses have a problem with this EdT, I can definitely understand that. I even have to admit that I've never worn this scent when going out among people, and maybe I never will. But what kind of scent is it that you can't even wear for shopping and yet I still like it? I'll tell you:
This is my comfort scent on cold and rainy days. My loyal companion when I snuggle up in a blanket on the sofa (or straight into bed). By the way, the scent seems to enjoy being cozy and warm too. When testing it without a sweater or blanket, it didn't really develop on my skin at all. Then, after snuggling in bed for 3 minutes, there it is: mhhhh, so cozy and delicious!
Sure, there will be prettier, better, and higher quality scents for this purpose, but for the little money, you really don't need to feel guilty. The scent is a "wet sprayer" (be careful if you test it) and therefore maybe not so economical, but the price-performance ratio is still good. Yesterday I sprayed it on around 9 PM, and this morning when I got up (5 AM), I could still perceive it very clearly. I will definitely get the hand cream to go with it, which has already been praised multiple times here.

Beautiful Snuggle Scent
"Armani She" initially starts off rather fresh and lightly citrus-fruity. With a bit of imagination, you can already pick out some of the individual notes, while everything is nicely balanced and nothing really dominates. It might remind you of the 90s, especially at first, but this slightly "dusty" aspect then gives way to the gentle sweetness and warmth of vanilla and tonka bean, resulting in a pleasantly warm, lightly oriental, powdery scent that lingers on the skin.
Simply cozy-soft and comforting. Not too sweet, not too floral, not too heavy - beautifully understated yet still noticeable; feminine, sensual, and timeless. It’s just as suitable for curling up as it is for the office, shopping, romantic moments for two, or family gatherings. A true all-rounder. ;o)

Either I had too high expectations ..
.. or "Boss Orange" is really not good.
At first, it smells like synthetic apple and synthetic orange. If "synthetic" were good, this Eau de Toilette would get full marks. The slightly floral note might be there, but it’s well hidden behind the overwhelming chemical sweetness that literally suffocates you and surrounds you like a heavy cloud. The base note takes a long time to appear, but when it does, it’s actually surprisingly pleasant. Vanilla and orange dominate here and complement each other nicely. However, the scent remains somewhat synthetic until the end, even if it becomes significantly better and more wearable.
If this fragrance were available for a few euros at the drugstore, I might pick it up for casual wear. Unfortunately, it's rather disappointing for a Boss scent. The advertising suggests a feeling of carefree lightness and spontaneity, which, after spraying, just doesn’t come to me. I also find the price-performance ratio completely unjustified. Longevity is so-so. Besides that, I have another "problem" with "Boss Orange": For summer, it is mostly too sticky-sweet and too synthetic; for winter, it’s not intense enough. Especially for spring/fall, there are so many beautiful fragrances that it seems pointless for me to revert to "that one."

Nice, but not a must-have
Today I received a fragrance sample of "Touch of Pink," which I immediately tested extensively.
The scent starts off fresh, fruity, and citrusy; the blood orange is quite noticeable. Shortly after, I also detect the "wet wipes" note described further down. I'm sorry, but it's definitely there for me, and yes, it does smell a bit cheap - but it fades away fairly quickly. The citrus note then takes a back seat, making way for something sweet and floral. In the base note, vanilla joins in and gives the fragrance a pleasantly warm touch. I find the base very nice and cohesive. It's not a scent that says much, but at least you can't go too wrong with it. It has a bit of everything: a little fruity-fresh here, a little floral-sweet there, underlined by a light, very lovely spice. I don't find it boring at all; it has too many facets for that. I perceive the scent as well-groomed, modern, and quite stylish. In my opinion, it fits well for daytime, for work and leisure, and is more suited for younger women. "Touch of Pink" is more suitable for warm days.
My conclusion: I would give the base, which I really quite like, at least 60-70%, but for the price, it's just a bit too little for me. For the same money, you can get better options, and for less money, equivalent ones. I wouldn't buy the fragrance due to the poor price-performance ratio, but if I were to receive it as a gift, I would certainly enjoy using it from time to time.
