Pros & Cons
- ✅ BEST. PERFUME. EVER. This is pure deliciousness. Just perfect. 11/10.
- ✅ A delicious, warm, sweet, powdery, and enveloping fragrance.
- ✅ This is a gorgeous scent where the raspberry note identical to raspberry hydrolate dominates the composition.
- ✅ I always liked The Favourite by Penhaligon's, but something in it also irritates me, there is some sort of underlying screechy sweetness, but Reve Lotus is such a stunning mimosa. Quite similar to The Favourite, except this is lighter, more introverted and subtle. Beautiful beautiful mimosa.
- ✅ LOVE THIS!!! It's become my new favorite perfume and personal scent. Stunning lotus scent. Love it at the first smell, it give me chill and calm vibe.
- ✅ As someone who is into quite powdery clean smells and does not like overly floral or sweet notes, I really like this perfume. It gives me an instant feeling of cleanness and freshness.
- ❌ I couldn't appreciate this because of its metallic acetone-like smell that never went away.
- ❌ I found it too syrupy sweet and synthetic for my liking.
- ❌ To me the praline/rose is just too synthetic and metallic smelling and the powderiness just makes it smell 'old' and dusty.
- ❌ A revisit after 2.5 years I am grateful for this one. ... Now i would never repurchase this. EVER. It is the opposite of what i enjoy and i dont think my preferences will change for a long time.
- ❌ It smells like detergent. With, I perceive, cumin? No lotus, no sandalwood. Just a strong musky mimosa that reminds me of toilet cleansers :/. Unfortunately, it's my least favorite of the range... 5/10
