Pros & Cons
- ✅ So fresh and juicy! I never cared for the other Parisiennes (too strong, sweet and powdery), but I love this for summer! The notes I get most are rose, cranberry, violet leaf and musk. Lasts long for a l'eau.
- ✅ This was my signature scent when I was 17. I still love it so much and have a bottle with a little amount of juice left, even though a decade has passed. It starts off with a splash of syrupy, plasticy berries mixed with vinyl and violet leaf that gives transparent, ozonic quality. Sounds unpleasant, but it is so SHEEK and modern yet remains youthful. The scent is pretty linear but unique, and I remember this got me tons of compliments. The sillage is moderate while the projection is great that it never disturbed anyone, though I always got noticed. Great for hot humid weather as well.
- ❌ i tried and tried to like it but i just don't. the opening 10 minutes smells lovely though a bit synthetic. i detect a very fresh citrus smell(not green note as listed) and a fleeting rose scent, like i could see a rose with dews in the morning. but soon it turns into a sugary and fruity smell, with black currant and berries being so strong, almost like the smell of a milkshake on me. i don't get patchouli at all. the base is just too weak----a hint of musk.meh. sillage and lasting power are weak. well obviously it's just another boring pink fragrance. too girlie for me.
