203 raspberry, vanilla, blackberry

For me this is extremely similar to Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum and The 7 Virtues Lotus Pear Eau de Parfum. For all three, they're a nice fruity, creamy, boozy scent with very faint florals. All three are unisex for me and would be nice fall/winter scents. There are slight variations--7 Virtues is a little more boozy and the Gucci is maybe ever so slightly more floral, but they're quite similar in my opinion. As far as best value for money, sillage and longevity seem to go hand in hand with price unfortunately. 7 Virtues would be the most expensive for $176 for 100 mL (though it's sold in 50 mL bottles) but it definitely has the best sillage and longevity. Then Gucci which is $155 for the same size, then Bon Parfumeur at $107 for 100 mL.

This is pretty, it’s just pretty. Its soft fruity light. This would be a real easy reach if you were looking for something office, friendly or medical facility friendly. This is really offensive. It’s got some sweetness to it, but it’s not overly sweet or Cloying. It’s not overly anything. Pretty fruity fresh fragrance.

My nose detect attrape reves DNA after 5 minutes spray. But not as smooth and premium as AR. But still in good way with the price

I'm testing the Bon Perfumer discovery set of 23 fragrances blind. I haven't looked up anything about the brand or the fragrances. I'm working through the cute little bottles in their numbered order. 203 opens up with more tart apple and citrus than 201, There's a top of something cheek puckering like 202, but doesn't seem like grapefruit. Maybe just lime and lemon. It has a musky mid-tone, much more than 102. It's fruity sweetness seems to sit under the tartness. Looking at the notes now, the red fruit explains the underlying sweetness, and part of the tartness. Neroli certainly explains a lot, and so too does the rose for the musky middle. The amberis seem distant, and while elements of the solar notes are present I don't get an ocean fibe from this fragrance, 202 was more tropical in my experience. I feel like I've smelled this fragrance before, and it leans slightly feminine to me where 201 and 202 were more unisex.

My experience with Bon Parfumeur is that all the scents are pretty low profile. I've tried about 6. All tend to get a little muddled after opening, though some of them are quite nice in the opening. This one is--I got berries and some floral--the jasmine much more than the rose I believe. I would call it fruit-centric rather than having much power to the vanilla or wood in the composition. It is there for some grounding though, because this is not a giggly-bubbly fruity kind of scent. It is softer than that. I don't dislike it, and was happy to wear the sample. But would not buy. For something fruity but not playful I would go for Cherry Punk before I would wear this.
