Pros & Cons
- ✅ A hidden gem from YSL. Unique and very classy.
- ✅ This is a lovely floral vanilla amber. The way vanillas used to be before they became childish deserts.
- ✅ Scénario d'Eté is a light summer edition of the wonderful Cinéma. The perfume opens with intense notes of sweet and fruity mandarin, sunny orange and refreshing lime. ... The base is a dream come true of warm notes. ... Yes, I do feel like THE sun goddess while wearing Scénario d'Eté!
- ✅ Lovely! Beautiful, fresh, delicious. Very natural smelling, and beautifully smooth, and also a little creamy as if there's coconut in it. ... Altogether it lasts about 9 hours. Very nice. And I get many compliments too.
- ❌ I blind brought this and really tried to love it but ended up selling it. A synthetic mess.
- ❌ Honestly as someone who loves perfumes, this disappointed me a lot, it’s not horrible but it also isn’t the best out there, I like sweet gourmand/vanilla perfumes, this smelt like a grandma too me
- ❌ I was expecting to smell a Cinema flanker, but it's just like a light summer movie: very very peachy ... Instead of growing deeper and oriental or something ... this one gets fresher, like a bowl of peeled cucumbers and some more peaches. Almost aquatic, I might say. Good longevity, but nothing remarkable about the smell.
- ❌ Being a big fan of the original Cinema I decided to try out this 'Cinema for summer' ... Unfortunately while it's 'nice' it's not similar enough to the original for me. On my skin it opens with lemon and more lemon. Bright and sparkly, not fresh squeezed, but almost bordering furniture polish ...
- ❌ I like the lime and the orange notes, but somehow on my skin results very chemical. Maybe it's the musk that ruin everything. It smells like deodorant, soap and detersive.
