Shepilein

I smelled the fragrance at a friend's place and must say that I didn't really perceive it properly. The scent had already dried on the skin, so I can't say anything about the initial sequence.

It's a fragrance that lies on the skin and wafts around you. As I said, you perceive it more as a wonderful body scent. What struck me immediately is this slight paper-like quality. With the cashmere and sandalwood, TF Bitter Peach has a paper scent, as if the person had been in an old library. The truly omnipresent peach note reminds me of Diddle leaves. Yes, that's right... those leaves with the scent for rubbing. For me, it's a nostalgic fragrance; it has something childlike about it. It smells of youth and innocence. In school on a summer day, sitting in the sun and exchanging Diddle leaves.

It definitely smells pleasant, but it is still very youthful. For peach lovers, it might be a bullseye, as it is not too sugary.

There are too few perfumes that can be worn every day, but Softly is one of those scents. Without being intrusive or smelling like cologne, this fragrance manages to be clean and fresh. Fresh does not necessarily mean endless lemon, lime, and orange for me. Softly embodies "Clean" for me. With musk, vanilla, and cotton, the scent is like a snug T-shirt that just came out of the wash and slowly starts to take on body odor. All of this without smelling cheap or overly synthetic. Most "Clean" perfumes are very synthetic and lack depth, but Softly stands out. The longevity is not great and is a downside. It is a wonderful fragrance to smell effortlessly clean. A perfume for everyone.

I have had this perfume for ages and love it. However, it is not as described on Tik Tok, in my opinion. Please do not buy it blindly. It is not a gourmand perfume! Yes, it is creamy, yes, it is vanilla-like, but that does not make it a vanilla ice cream perfume or something similar. The stars alongside the musk and cream are the pepper and sandalwood. It is not delicate or understated. The pepper and sandalwood give the scent something mature and depth. It is a play between soft and edgy. Sometimes I have to say that it is a bit too much, as the scent cannot decide what it wants to be. It is true that the drydown is very creamy and milky, but not like a sweet dessert. More like a nice woody body lotion with plenty of musk. The scent smells much more expensive than it is to me. It could be a unisex niche fragrance. I imagine a woman wearing a pearl necklace, in a power suit, wearing this scent while on her way to a trendy coffee shop. A power scent for a confident appearance. For my taste, This is Her! could be fresher, as the perfume is not exactly subtle.

The name and the bottle are on point. I wouldn't even describe the scent as overly sweet, rather very fruity and slightly sour? The citrus fruits counterbalance the sweetness well. I owned this fragrance when I was 17, but at some point, you "grow out" of it. Recently, I saw that the perfume is labeled as gourmand. Yes, you could say it smells like a candy, but also like those synthetic foods. If you enjoy the scent of peach, or rather peach iced tea, you might be able to identify with this perfume.

The scent is pure vanilla. And not a light vanilla, but one that knocks you off your feet. After 1 hour, the scent is still as strong as when it was first sprayed. I personally felt a bit dizzy, and that’s when I realized which fragrance this reminds me of. I’ll be bold and say that “This is Us!” is the sister of Vanitas Profumum Roma. It can't just be me who smells this. Besides the fact that the patchouli note is even stronger than the orange blossom in Vanitas. In my opinion, This is Us is also more oriental due to this patchouli note. The musk note … well, it doesn’t make it fresher or powdery, rather creamier.
