Supremacy Gala

This is quite nice a sweet fruity floral. Airy, fresh, sweet. In the opening I find apple or pear (though not in the official notes) and mandarin. Patchouli, praline or caramel from the base notes I do not find at all. I consider this positive. Also vanilla in the background is extremely subtle, barely noticeable at all and even then only if you really look for it. Maybe they will come out much later? Gala does not come out as a white flower scent to me and definitely not gourmand at all - just floral, like a summer wedding bouquet with some apple juice. I could imagine this attracting bees in the summer. Would probably come out as too juvenile for mature people and become cloying or stale if oversprayed, but when used in moderation, this would be a lovely scent e.g. on maids of honour with braided hairs and flower wreaths. Not sure why, but my mind keeps returning to summer weddings whenever I smell this. I don't have Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia, so can't compare those two.

Smells much more floral than I expected. can clearly smell the mandarin orange and the red berries, which give it a juicy sweetness, but I was honestly surprised when I looked at the notes and saw caramel, brown sugar, and praline in the base. I personally can't pick up those notes at all. Overall, I do think it's a beautiful scent. It's def feminine. But if you're buying this expecting a gourmand with caramelized sugar, praline, or brown sugar, I think you might be disappointed because that's definitely not it. The name and notes might suggest a dessert-like fragrance, but to me it's much more of a sweet floral.

I like this scent, but it’s not really a favorite of mine. It’s labeled as extrait de Parfum, but just like any Eau de Parfum, it’s got 20% fragrance oil and 80% alcohol, as noted on the bottle. The fragrance is nice and sweet, with a floral vibe. I do appreciate how the caramel and vanilla balance it out, so it doesn’t come off as too old-fashioned. It lasts about 4-6 hours on me. After 2 hours, the projection gets pretty close to the skin. I do prefer my fragrance to last a little longer with a stronger projection.

This was such a disappointment because when I smelled it on the testing paper, I liked it and I was looking forward to testing it. The opening was nice and sweet, after half an hour you could start smelling the flowery notes in it. BUT the dry-down was so bad. On my skin it was like that smell at the gym when deodorants mix with sweat, it was horrible. Maybe it's just a me problem, but I couldn't stand it on myself. It smelled like really cheap perfume. On the other hand the projection was nice and it lasted a very long time on me. I saw some people saying it was similar to Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia, but it's not even close, so if you'd purchase it as a dupe, don't.

I blind bought this as I read that it was a dupe for Gucci GG. Absolutely regret it as it I does not smell anything like GG! It has this nauseating dry down, mainly just patchouli. It is more of a fresh than gourmand smell. I don’t smell any vanilla, brown sugar, caramel as stated in the base notes. Longevity and Sillage are great however, hopefully if I let this sit for a few months, it will change
