Pros & Cons
- ✅ Minimalistic, elegant, unique and fresh.
- ✅ Feminine and romantic. I like this :)
- ✅ For the past two years this has been my signature scent. Minimalistic, elegant, unique and fresh. It gets you noticed, but only by people you let close to you. To me it's so romantic and feminine, but not girly/childish like a lot of ultra feminine perfumes on the market today.
- ✅ Sweet-tart, sweet-tart, sweet-tart...must be the lichee and the passionfruit. Then, sweet, sexy sweet, Sweetie. No patchouli , no watermelon, no bergamot on me. It smells of springtime and optimism. On me, it's a great break from the pack.
- ✅ It's a blast from the past; a period when a lot of fruity roses were being left in a trail after every bleached blonde walking in her white boots. This is a slightly ozonic and salty take on the fruity facets of rose, a bit too oily to start with, then a bit to synthetic on the dry-down. I got it only because the 'vintage nostalgia' motivated me. Masaki/Masaki has locked memories of my countless visits to Sephora in the early 2000's. A better, juicier and lighter close relative is L'Imperatrice by D&G. 6/10 and glad to have it!
- ✅ I like its first notes very much! Feminine and lovely! However, after some time it begins to be sultry. I prefer fresher scents, I'm afraid.
- ❌ not bad but don't expect anything special.
- ❌ something about it feels dated and stuffy.
- ❌ not bad but don't expect anything special. good for those who want to blend in (like a forum topic here 'crowd-pleaser' but I mean blending in a good way). I would not recognise it anywhere and I can imagine other people trying to find out what I was wearing would list lots of designer frags (maybe cheaper ones) I was mostly interested in this because of the magnolias and cos I did not know the brand before. Well Masaki did not convince me but don't want to judge by one fragrance only. update 12/11/2010: these fruits are a wee bit sourish
- ❌ After reading this fragrance's description, and many glowing reviews I couldn't wait to get my hands on this and try it. But to my nose, something about it feels dated and stuffy (maybe the rose paired up with the magnolia?) I was disappointed because, Masaki/Masaki was not what I was expecting.
