Cereus No.12

I love this perfume. It's very soft, feminine, and elegant. Very pleasant and inoffensive. Smells sweet apples and black currant. Perfect for every day use.

This is actually strong on me and gorgeous! Lots of woods and sweet vanilla with a touch of exotic fruit. I will be wearing this alot in summer!

hairspray at first spray then a lovely aquatic citrus fruity vanilla; this is a dry vanilla with lots of sweet citrus, musk and wood. Started out ripe and juicy but got very dry very fast. Unique and soft. Not a powerful scent after the top notes settle.

I like this but......it is soooo soft- it is almost unnoticeable- this if for bed-- skin to skin-- nose to skin! Too soft for me. So far have tried no.15, which i love- and this one-ready to try the others!

The fruit accord lasts a very long time. At first, it's somewhere between a juicy orange and some kind of orange candy. It never comes across to me as "feminine" peach. I'm not much of a fan of scents with strong fruit notes, but this one doesn't bother me as most do. There is a fairly good rosewood note in here, but you have to give it time. Otherwise, vanilla and musk are the other major players. After a couple hours I get a better sense of the different fruit notes involved, especially the black currant, and it's more natural smelling. Perhaps if the wood note was stronger this could be marketed as unisex, but I have no problem wearing it. If it seems weak just spray more. This is only slightly sweet and the vanilla is not very strong, so I think this would be good for the office if the weather isn't really hot or really cold. Note that I never detected any watermelon, and I've got a Popy Moreni scent that possesses this note clearly, so I guess it was a very fleeting (and perhaps weak) top note. I'm not sure why "ozonic" was used to describe this, because this is on the "thick" side, not the airy!

Purchased this during the Fall/Winter and I did not like it. I put it away and when summer came (summer in Las Vegas) it is delicious. The rosewood is very pronounced with watermelon. It hangs on all day. A delightful blind buy, and I am on my second bottle.
