A bit overhyped, but it's doable...
First of all: The bottle is really a great idea, but the "Cloud" that the bottle stands in is made of hard rubber (or something similar) and rather puts me off. So the perfume stands in my collection without the Cloud, which might be more visually appealing for younger girls, but isn't very practical.

The scent disappointed me a bit. It smells, as already described here, like smoky cotton candy and isn't something I would directly call a "women's fragrance" nor is it a scent that enchants, surprises, or prompts the question about what perfume is being worn today. For a fragrance that carries Ariana Grande's name, it's rather lackluster and disappointing.

Of course, you can still wear Cloud, but it's just nothing special. Above all, I miss a clear statement from this fragrance. The sillage and longevity are surprisingly good, but that's also due to the very sweet scent characteristic.

Fresh, synthetic scent with a shaving foam note.
I’ll be honest: Boss Bottled Night was a blind buy based on the name and the bottle. Half a 50ml bottle later, I can say that I definitely do not regret the purchase and find the scent quite pleasant.

Boss Bottled Night smells fresh, serious, and well-groomed. For me, this fragrance has a lot of shaving foam in it - and that is meant in an absolutely positive way, as it usually smells very pleasant. Although synthetic, I don’t mind that in this case.

I would argue that the scent is more suitable for everyday use, leisure, home office, etc., and less for the club or a date. The sillage is very good, but the longevity is quite lacking. I have also often applied Boss Bottled Night in the evening before sleeping, very pleasant for that, and the first fragrance I ever used for this purpose.

Overall, in my opinion, a well-rounded fragrance that one can happily have in their collection.

Pure Love!
I had only heard about Versace Eros for a long time until a colleague brought me the bottle for the first time. I still remember well, my expectations were completely exceeded. This scent is just somehow... different. Absolute freshness, minty note (including vanilla and tonka bean), which stands out from other fragrances in a unique way. For me, it’s an absolute all-rounder; I love wearing this scent in the home office, when I'm out and about, or just in the morning - to start the day with a good mood. The bottle is also unparalleled; Versace always impresses me anew.

Eros is definitely in my all-time top 5, it never gets boring and doesn’t feel old. Longevity and sillage could currently be a bit better, but I’ve heard that it can also depend on the temperature. I have mostly worn the fragrance in the last, rather colder months and I'm curious to see how it unfolds in summer. A great overall package that is definitely a must-have in my collection.

I find it particularly interesting that this fragrance is always described as a "clubbing scent" and as absolutely eye-catching. I'm still unsure about that. I would have to try it (as I said, possibly also due to the temperatures), but in my opinion, it’s more suited for freshness in everyday life.

Well... Somehow overrated
I got this fragrance because of the touted similarity to Aventus Creed. So, to be honest... If Aventus Creed is supposed to smell like this, I don't understand the hype. In the end, it's just a pineapple scent, nothing more and nothing less. I don't see what's particularly attractive about it. I find the fragrance rather intrusive, to the point that it almost becomes annoying after a while when I wear it.

Compared to other club/date/all-rounder fragrances, this scent has mostly ranked low among some ladies in my friend circle. It's too pronounced, too fruity, and in my opinion, still nothing special. The bottle is pretty, longevity is very good, and sillage is also above average - but as mentioned, that's due to the distinct sweet pineapple note and the overall intrusiveness of the fragrance.

For me, there is no occasion that I could perfectly envision for this scent, except, well, how should I put it... If I want to smell like pineapple. The hype is really incomprehensible to me and seems rather artificial, but tastes are known to be different. :)

Very pleasant, fresh, and floral at the same time
I discovered CK One quite late and I wonder why. I didn't expect much, and since the fragrance has been an all-rounder and bestseller for many years, I actually just wanted to have it in my collection without intending to spray it often.

After several weeks of "sitting around," I finally tested it, and what can I say? I am absolutely positively surprised. Fresh, fruity, and at the same time floral. While comparable fragrances often fit into just one category, CK One somehow spans a wide range and smells incredibly pleasant. The bottle is already half empty after just a few weeks.

And even though I've encountered and smelled this fragrance several times over the years, it still surprises me every time anew. In my opinion, it's a timeless classic that doesn't get boring and can definitely still be worn in the future.

Longevity is average, and the sillage is fine. Due to the light floral quality that CK One exudes, I definitely find it to be a unisex fragrance. The only thing I don't like about the bottle is that I don't find it particularly appealing when the spray head has no cap.
