I have to save the world! But first, a quick spray.
Since I was a little kid, I have been a long-time Spider-Man fan. My enthusiasm for perfume has only developed in recent years, which is why I didn't wear anything like this as a child. It's great that I'm finally testing this scent now, even though I'm probably not the target audience.
So, what must a perfume aimed at children primarily be? Cheap, so that it can be bought by mom or dad. Thus, it will naturally be difficult to bring a miracle scent into this extravagantly beautiful bottle.
The fragrance smells fresh-citrusy and becomes rather synthetic in the dry-down. I can particularly pick out the "citrus fruits" and "ylang-ylang" notes.
Unfortunately, the longevity is also rather below average, and one can't really talk about a sillage at all. Of course, this can be hard to evaluate, or one might say that it's better for a children's fragrance if it fades quickly.
All in all, the scent doesn't stand out from the mass of children's fragrances, but it will surely bring a smile to the face of one or another Spider-Man fan. I think I'll wait until Spidey releases a fragrance for adults.

Not reinventing the wheel…
It’s finally here! Giorgio Armani is expanding its fragrance line “Aqua di Gio.” But is it really an “expansion”?
From my perspective: No. For a long time, rumors circulated that the “Profumo” from the same line would be discontinued. Now its successor has hit the market. Not only the bottle, but also the fragrance shows significant similarities to its predecessor. The scent of the new “Parfum” remains fresh-aquatic, but has a more floral note in the dry-down.
The fragrance is very suitable for both warm and cold seasons.
The longevity and sillage of the newcomer are comparable to the other fragrances in the “Aqua di Gio” line.
In my opinion, however, the bottle is the most beautiful and special in the line. The transition of the light-dark contrast is very well done and makes the bottle very attractive.
Overall, a successful but rather unremarkable release that feels more like a reformulation.

Today I Sleep by the Sea…
I am sleeping by the sea today. While the saltwater still clings to my lips, a fresh sea breeze comes my way. I look at the stars and perceive the woody-sweet scent of a honey tree beside me. This evening can only be perfect.
But as I closed my eyes, I realized I am not lying by the sea. I am sitting at home writing a review of the wonderful fragrance that I just sprayed on again. It is a heavenly scent that transports you to another world.
Not only the fragrance, but also the longevity and sillage are convincing. On a warm summer day, it lasts into the evening hours, when it can be best enjoyed.
The well-known bottle is, as always, successful, and through the deep blue design, you feel as if you can see to the bottom of the sea.
Uniqueness and specialness make this fragrance shine. I have never smelled anything quite like it.

Pi Quadrat
The Givenchy Pi. My very first fragrance ever and still consistently in my collection.
What’s special about this scent is that individual notes are hard to pick out. I find the fragrance smells very consistently sweet-oriental with a hint of spice. The listed notes are quite accurate, but they harmonize so well together that the overall scent simply smells unique, like something completely unfamiliar. Sometimes when I think of the fragrance, I still remember how good it smells, but I have to get up and spray it again to remind myself exactly how it smells.
The longevity and sillage are average, and 3-5 sprays are enough to perceive the scent well throughout the day.
The bottle and design are very well chosen, as they underscore the mysterious fragrance and give it a unique appearance.
I find it a pity that there isn’t an “Eau de Parfum” or “Elixir” version of Pi, as I would be very curious to know how they would smell.
All in all, the fragrance is definitely worth purchasing.

A Day in Bikini Bottom…
Are you ready, kids?
The outstanding scent of SpongeBob's pet snail comes to your home in a beautiful collector's bottle, bringing all of Bikini Bottom with it.
Surprisingly, the fragrance smells very pleasant. Coconut water is right at the top note and then transitions into a citrus-spicy aroma. That's exactly how I imagine the scent of a day in Bikini Bottom.
Definitely worth a purchase. Whether it's for the bottle, the scent, the longevity, or the sillage.
A must-have for all SpongeBob fans.
