Life Of The Party

This is a fruity/woody fragrance which is done very well, especially for the price point. The black currant and peach are prominent followed later in the dry down by a woody/ambrox (ambergris-adjacent). This does not smell like Baccarat 540- I think people who are drawing that conclusion are smelling the ambrox/ambergris-adjacent note (which is the dominant note in B540) and it reminds them of Baccarat. The fruit notes are very prominent and not at all like Baccarat. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It’s not super important but the bottles are not appealing and I think that would’ve kept me from even smelling this one if someone hadn’t pointed it out to me.

I have the Discovery set for this fragrance house and this was one of my favorite scents next to Catching Feelings. I love the peach blossom in this it really reminds me of peach candy or drinks I would get at the Asian supermarket. It reminds me of those really humid summer evenings/nights in Japan, a woman in a pretty white dress drinking a peach soda or some kind of peach-flavored drink, glass skin, short dark hair and that is a vibe that I really miss a lot when I got back to Japan. I'm gonna try and save up so I can get the full bottle for the summer months when they arrive.

This is a fabulous perfume with decent performance. I don’t get the comparisons between what is listed. 5 Sens is a great company with awesome values. This performs better than some of my most expensive perfumes. The blackcurrant is beautifully done and is not cloying or sticky. The saffron is an addition to round out the other notes. Even in the hottest of hot, muggy July in Chicago, it still performs well which is more than I can say for most perfumes I’ve tested lately.

This smells like baccarat- and burberry hers sexier sister. I’m not even joking. This was an instant love for me AND my fiancé which is VERY rare. It’s fruity saffron. Like Burberry her but replace the chapstick strawberry note with black current and peach. This is SO damn good for being so cheap.

Beautiful blackberry fragrance with a dry-down that smells inexplicably like pine
