Exquisite

It is a raspberry forward fragrance but more of a perfume interpretation than a photo realistic. There are some other fruits added that help the raspberry come forward to help the raspberry from being too tart or sharp. There is some light and airy caramel (dulce de leche) to add some sweetness to the mix. At the same time, there is the cassis that balances out the pefume to create a balance of raspberry, caramel and slight green from cassis. This is how I would have liked meliora...a retrained cassis. There is rose in the background and it was stronger when i first got the bottle but now it really doesnt come out much. This last 8+ hours and although it has musk in the base I don't notice it but imagine it helps with the longevity. Not a juvenile fruit fragrance. This one is in the same realm as Peregrina in terms of vibes

My goodness, this is so feminine and soft. But not weak. It's really beautiful. I get no saffron and I was concerned about that being a note here because most of the time, I don't like it. This is unique also. It smells a little bit like Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum which I love. It also smells a little bit like City Rhythm Sultry which Fragrantica still needs to add to their database because that one is a beautiful rose. I really like this and I like the way it wears. It's like a veil, very soft yet very present and long lasting on clothes. If you're into sweet, lightly fruity and powdery rose frags, definitely check this one out.

Based on the notes, I thought this would smell like rose-water flavored Turkish delights. But, thankfully, no- it smells nothing like them. It's a slightly tart and sweet fruity floral fragrance with some rose peeking through in the background. I love the tartness in this. The raspberry and pink grapefruit make a perfect blend. It's a linear but unique fragrance with a slight Middle Eastern vibe to it. Longevity is very good and the projection on my skin is moderate. It's wearable year round but it would best shine in spring and early summer.

Inizialmente non l'ho apprezzato un granché, perché le note agrumate in generale non sono nel mio stile e l'apertura di pompelmo non mi aveva entusiasmato, ma adesso lo adoro. Lo metto tra i miei 5 profumi preferiti, oltretutto quando lo indosso ricevo sempre molti apprezzamenti

All I'm getting so far is citrus, not in a good way either. Something similar to the D&G L 3 watermelon one that just gives straight hot BO to my nose. Definitely a blindbuy fail for me. Probably the worst of the year. Would have loved if it smelled anything like the notes or Turkish delight. For the price point it shouldn't have to sit any longer but I'll give it a few more months and revisit it. Extremely disappointed absolutely my worst blind buy of 2025 possibly of all time actually.
