212 Heroes Forever Young

Continuing my reviews of samples I got from my purchase at CH, I am in LOVE! This is a really yummy, juicy scent. Like Berry juice dripping down your chin, paired with pink lemonade spritzers on a picnic for a first date, in a best-friends-to-lovers story. It truly encapsulates its name: Heroes Forever Young. It's the scene from The Perks of Being a Wallflower where Sam (Emma Watson) stands on the back of the truck while they drive through the tunnel, and Heroes by David Bowie plays! It's fun, it's fruity, it's playful, it's familiar, but it's not juvenile - we've grown up from our girl next door body spray to a lovely young lady's first perfume. This would make a great gift for a highschool or college gal. It's somewhat linear, but we like that, because it's comforting to know what to expect. Crisp, sharp, juicy fruitiness. I think it's a safe blind buy and easily likeable, and a good don't-know-what-to-wear grab for the warmer months. I can imagine wearing this in spring and summer for everyday or signature wear! I wish they made a smaller bottle of this, I would buy it immediately! I'm going to keep wearing my sample for now and decide if it's FBW! If you like this, you will probably also like 212 VIP Rose, it's like 212HFY's slightly older sister (:

It was a blind purchase, I didn't have any red berries in my collection and I wanted to get a scent of that style. The reviews indicate it as an unoriginal perfume within the floral-fruity and I agree. In these first uses I really feel the sweet red fruits, particularly the raspberry, accompanied by a somewhat acidic note. When dried, this floral accompaniment of orange blossom and jasmine can be distinguished, but very very tenuous, always with a predominance of fruit. At times I can distinguish the sandalwood. It is a very jovial, cheerful aroma, but not for that reason childish, at the level of the aromas of a firm like CH. A special aroma for everyday life, especially in spring. Cheerful, very pleasant, massive taste. Until now a normal duration, about 6-7 hours with about 10 sprays. As I said, it is one of the few aromas that I have in my collection of red fruits and it has left me super happy and satisfied.

Después de mas de un año de uso, debo decir que me sigue gustando y mucho! específicamente para primavera-verano. Tengo la fortuna que tiene una duración bastante aceptable en mi (me aplico mas de 8 atomizaciones) y lo encuentro un perfume muy comodín! muy bonito, muy girly, frutal no en exceso, dulce no en exceso, amaderado no en exceso!... no huele a shampoo, es más sofisticado...de todos los aromas con esta vibra creo que es uno de mis favoritos. Un fondo de armario para mi.

Llevo más de 5 meses usando este perfume casi a diario y lo amo. Es dulce pero no empalagoso, muy frutal. Le siento bastante la nota de frambuesa jugosa con un toque cítrico de mandarina, manteniendo una base cálida y amaderada. Lo único malo es que no tiene casi nada de proyección y dura bastante poco en la piel, considerando su precio. Aun así, dura bastante en la ropa. Me gusta mucho para usarlo en verano y primavera, aunque también queda muy bien en invierno.

I found my old bottle with a little bit of this fragrance remaining and i'm still in love with how it smells. This also reminded me of its longevity and that's why i wont buy another unless it costs 15$ 😭
