Fresh pineapple meets the soft creaminess of vanilla and sage, while warm notes in the background round off the scent and give it an elegant touch.
Suddenly, this creamy pineapple comes through beautifully, combined with a light citrus note that feels fresh, clean, modern, and extremely pleasant.
For me, the best BT alternative… A must-have for every BT fan. Brutal P/L, a second bottle is already ordered:-)
Incredible what you get for your money! A really nice fresh, fruity, and slightly sweet scent for summer/spring.
Suddenly, this creamy pineapple comes through beautifully, combined with a light citrus note that feels fresh, clean, modern, and extremely pleasant-not too fruity, not too sweet, just well-rounded.
Even after about five to six hours in high heat, you can still smell the fragrance on your shirt and that vanilla sweetness on your skin in the evening. For a summer scent, True Word performs well.
Juicy, sweet & sparklingly zesty, and warm. Found it on my mom's counter. LOVE IT! Will def buy it as well.
Strong sillage without being overpowering; exceptional value for the price; that pineapple-cardamom opening is memorable.

Very weak dont Buy this fragrance.
Absolutely weak... I've never came across a fragrance that the second it comes out of the atomizer. It instantly becomes a skin scent.... one of if not, the weakest fragrance I've ever came across...
I cannot recommend as it only projects moderately for about 30 minutes, then becomes a faint skin scent, totally gone after 3-4 hours.
The biggest downside is that it's rather weak.

The biggest downside is that it's rather weak. Comparing to Azure Royal, for example, True Word is really not worth even the little money offered.
A truly gorgeous scent profile, but the performance is shockingly poor. Don't throw your money away unless you fancy a skin scent that barely lasts beyond application.
