Happy Chopard Bigaradia

I’m surprised some people say this smells synthetic, because to me it really smells like natural essential oils. It’s possible some people interpret the scent of orange blossom as synthetic, because this is very orange blossom forward and orange blossom smells quite perfume-y. It’s also opens with a blast of zesty bitter orange, that almost tingles the nose, I also pick up the carrot here, then the orange blossom takes over. Orange blossom really is the main character in this fragrance, but there is complexity and depth to it. The honey and jasmine has softness and warmth, and the bitter orange and mandarin add a lightness. This is the type of fragrance that gently floats around you, like a chiffon silk summer dress. There’s something a bit motherly about it as well, although I can’t pinpoint why.. perhaps a core memory of some kind, that I can’t unlock entirely. While this is a very summery fragrance, I actually think it works really well in the colder months. It has enough warmth to it to stand on its own in winter, whilst also bringing some brightness and light into the darker days. I think it’s a nice daytime office scent in the colder months. It’s a bit too sweet on very hot days though and I think orange blossom and jasmine can become quite of putting in the heat. In summer I’d sooner wear it at night. I really love this scent, the bottle is gorgeous and the box is also elegant. It smells much more expensive than it is.

Time to review this one, as it's been more than a year that I have bought it, and worn it (a lot). This line from Chopard has some unsung little gems, quality frags, superb packaging at a very affordable price (when issued and on their website it was priced at more than100 euros per bottle; now, a 100ml bottle is under 30 Euros, a great value, I bought a few for gifting). This is a typical bigarade perfume, meaning bitter orange + orange blossom based; here you get the peel of the orange, sweet and oily, you can also detect the sweetness of tangerine and honey. There is some green crispiness to it, but this is a summer, happy perfume that is NOT your typical citrus fresh minty cologne; it manages to have a performance and a sillage that elevates it to something that be worn also in autunm and or Spring. Uplifting and sunny. You can get a similar vibe from AA Orange Soleia (but this one is 5 times more expensive). Longevity is good (4 hours mark). The bottle is a luxury: solid, heavy quality glass shaped like an orange topaz, the stopper is a pink sphere made of glass (!), gold lettering, it's a remarkable item (I'm not always keen on commenting bottles, but this one is beautiful, really beautiful). I am finishing my 1st bottle and have already bought 2 backups ;-)

I just received this today, I've been wanting to buy it for a long time. I tried it before in store and I was amazed by it. Where I live you can find this perfume online for about 20 euros so it's very affordable. I sprayed it and immediately I was blown away. It's orange and mandarin at first then it dries down to a very well rounded fragrance. I can really pick up the carrot and honey as well as the patchouli and the labdanum makes it feel balsamic and warm. Not a dirty or offensive patchouli by any means it just gives a bit more depth to the fragrance, I am not a patchouli lover but it doesn't bother me here, it's soft. I wouldn't call this a light summer fragrance, this is more suitable for spring or fall. It has a very sophisticated, elegant vibe. It has a natural sweetness to it but I wouldn't call it a sweet perfume. This could be a perfect everyday scent for somebody who likes to stand out but not in a loud, harsh way. When it dries down you won't get the orange and mandarin anymore it's more of a neroli, honey, carrot combination playing with the base notes.

Gave this a few wearings... At first, I thought this doesn't last at all (and fragrances tend to last a lot on me) After wearing it without spraying on my chest or neck (just on my arms, side of my body, back of my shirt and stomach) I realized that this lasts till the next day and projects very well! Here's the deal : even though the jasmine note is not the focus point of this, it is heavy on hediome... And , at least for me, hediome makes me go nose blind... As far as the smell goes, I find it a mix between what Guerlain would do in their Aqua Allegoria line and what Prada would do in the Amber line.. This starts off with zesty bitter orange and neroli and dries down to a soapy white floral (reminds me of Prada Amber, but not the same)... If Prada came out with this and called Prada Amber L'Eau, I would not be surprised... I paid under 30$ for it here in Romania.... The quality is way over that price point... If you like soapy white florals with citrus, this is a no-brainer! Hope this helps! Cheers!

It is a warm sunny day in London, England and I am wearing Happy Chopard Bigaradia by Chopard again today. Its the 2nd or third time ive worn it this week. Since it arrived and I love it soooooo much, that I literally cannot stop respraying it, as it makes makes me so happy! Corny, I know. The carrot note is just like wow! And the honey is like mmmmmm. The orange blossom and jasmine sambac are bright,fresh and airy. And the green mandarin and and bitter orange are juicy, without being citric. Being tamed by the sesame seeds which add to a nicely rounded, but very slight, warm but not toasted nuttiness. Like in sesame snap bars but much more subtle! And that makes this slightly earthy without being unwearable. It is like sunshine in the best possible way. A real hidden gem for Summer. And its lasts on clothing for a good 5-6 hours id say. So you can smell it around you. Even when it isnt projectijg much and I'd say that men can wear this.

Beautiful bitter orange peel dipped in a generous bowl of orange blossom water. This is basically Neroli Portofino without all the things I dislike about Neroli Portofino. I found NP to be a bit too harsh and almost icy & too bitter, Bigaradia is way softer, somewhat warmer and definitely more feminine. Lasts much longer too and has decent sillage. It does have that particular bitterness NP has, but in a much smoother and more pleasant way if that makes sense. It’s wearable all year round imo. If this fragrance was a person, it would be an elegant, soft-spoken, beautiful lady. She’s always well dressed and has a calming aura. Overall, a safe blind buy if you like Neroli Portofino or if you like pure orange blossom scents, otherwise I would advise sampling first because it is not a typical sweet designer orange blossom scent.

The first time I smelled this I smiled. It truly is happiness in a bottle. Bright oranges, bitter, sweet, like a shot of vitamin C during the cold and flu season. Energizing. As it comes to the heart I get more of the floral aspect, the orange blossom mingling with a very lovely jasmine and sweet orange blossom infused honey. The sesame, labdanum, cedar and carrot are subtle but noticable and add depth and longevity to the fragrance. There is a nutty oily quality here that I am sure is from the sesame that I really love. This is a really great orange blossom perfume that I can even see wearing year round. If you get the winter blues and feel mentally drained give this ray of sunshine a try. It is a mood booster.

This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful fragrances I’ve smelled! If you love orange blossom this is a must try! Unfortunately, it may be a bit difficult to track down. I have all four in the happy line!! This is my absolute favorite!! It smells high end, “I summer on the Cape” or Montauk or Hamptons or Martha’s Vineyard or insert bougie coastal town. It’s casual yacht club gorgeousness! I’m surprised this isn’t more well known. It’s fresh but definitely has an expensive soap vibe. The bottles are stunningly weighty in gorgeous colors! On me, it’s eternal! It’s been twelve hours and still going strong! I picked up a backup bottle and I’m so glad I did!

Spritz some Bigaradia and be transported to orange groves, blue skies and golden sunshine. This is by far the most interesting and impressive citrus fragrance I have ever tried. It has staying power but lingers on in a delicate way. This is a luminous fragrance and one that I absolutely LOVE. I saw the Chopard Happy collection at a perfume warehouse sale and was surprised that I had not heard of this collection before. The fun, bright bottles are delightful and I was COMPLETELY taken aback by the fragrance contained in them. Someone below pointed out that the pandemic interrupted usual marketing, pity - it deserves far more attention!

A sweet, surprising little gem of a perfume. I hated the Lemon Dulci one—which turned synthetic on my skin—and fell in love with Bigaradia instead. I smell honey, bitter orange and neroli. It’s creamy without being soapy. It reminds me of eating breakfast on the terrace, bursting with fresh spring flowers and bees buzzing about. I waited a long time before I bought both Bigardia and Lemon Dulci blind, now I wish for a larger bottle of Bigaradi. Placed firmly in the easy to wear category, I plan on buying several more as gifts. And like others, the bottle has a higher quality feel than many others in much more expensive categories.

Citrusy, uplifting, very fresh and unique composition. Starts with fresh citrus with a small nuance of carrot, sounds a little bit harsh, but only 10- 20 min. Than some sweetness from honey starts his play, soft tender. In the dry down i enjoy patchouli and cedar accords. Compliment factor is good. Try it on skin and give them 20- 30 min to open nicely and you won't regret. Longevity 5-7 hours, depends on the weather. Sillage medium. For summer and spring it's great choice. Criminaly underrated. Seriosly for this phenomanal composition and high quality bottle this price?

I blind-bought it, and I must say I am very happy with this purchase! I found it to be very linear; the smell does not change much. I cannot detect any cedar or patchouli in the dry down. Oranges and neroli all the way. The sillage and projection are not very strong; however, I think a lot of people would love this fragrance in summer. I haven't yet tested this fragrance in colder weather, but I think it would be very nice as well. I also like the presentation; the bottle is very sturdy. Overall, very positive experience :) and totally ok for the price!

I love it! It is fresh citrus and spicy scent that reminds me of my time in Italy few years ago. I'm a huge fan of orange blossom and I love Bigaradia's orange blossom just like I love Lancôme's O de L'Orangerie orange blossom. It is so well blended, it represents the fresh summer in bottle. Imagine a summer day beach walk in Italy's Marina di Ravenna surrounded by greenery, herbs, flowers and the sea breeze in your hair. I just LOVE IT!

This is beautiful. It does have a slightly bitter orange note but somehow it's still mildly sweet yet warm and refreshing at the same time. High in naturals they say. Great value and can be warn all year round will be excellent in the fall and spring especially. Edp concentration makes it last longer than say a GAA. In the dry down it ends up just like a lovely glow around you if that makes sense. Makes me feel happy.

This opens with a blast of wonderful bitter Orange. The dry down is a combo of Orange and orange blossom to my nose. I love them both...very different to each other. Certainly not just another ordinary citrus scent, Happy Bigaradia has a sweet luminous quality in the dry down, but is never cloying. It's exactly what I thought it would be. I adore this one!

Absolutely stunning presentation I totally looking for very long time The smell of orange blossom is mixed with orange peel Plus a mild jasmine scent It's a great combination Scente The aroma is mild, well distributed. This smell is suitable for both hot and cold weather and the Very good Price. 👌

Wow, instant like! No, instant LOVE! What a happy, bright, fresh but at the same time creamy summer scent.This is like a honeyed freshly squeezed orange/mandarin juice that you drink under an aromatic jasmine tree on a hot summer day somewhere south Italy. Gorgeous!

What a delicious and juicy scent! Happy to found it. Interesting composition, carrot gives a courmand vibe. Exellent quality and low price. This is sun & summer in bottle!

I loved! More citrus 🍊, perfect for hot days! 🩷🩷🩷 remember Guerlain but I don’t know what is it.

From the very first spritz, it’s as if the sun cracked open a green mandarin and poured it into my palms. Not your typical citrus, this one’s not all acid and bite. No. It’s juicy. Glossy. Ripe with a pulpy optimism. And!! That carrot. Gosh, that carrot! Not the raw kitchen kind, but a distillation—Daucus carota seed oil, earthy-sweet, almost powdery, but translucent. It doesn’t root you; it lifts you, soil—clean—still clinging to its edges. Orange blossom and jasmine in all its squeaky-clean radiance dance overhead, pure and skin-close, like a veil of fresh petals still damp with morning dew. They’re not the indolic kind that moan and cloy. No—these are laughing flowers, radiant and sheer, like silk ribbons caught in wind. And then the sesame slides in—barely there, but oh, it matters. Just a whisper of nuttiness, as if someone snapped a sesame brittle bar far away and the scent drifted toward you, warm but never roasted, more halvah fantasy than gourmand overdose. It brings in a gentle toasted skin-scent warmth that never competes—just nestles into the citrus and floral like a deep exhale. That honey too, not sticky, not syrupy. Think more sunlight trapped in glass, more honeycomb airiness than dense sugar. It rounds everything into a hum—like the way a smile feels just before it breaks. Genuinely a fragrance that feels like the perfect day off, Bigaradia leans into joy and doesn't caring how earnest you look doing it. A happy bigarade fragrance, proud and true.

Unexpected budget charmer. It's cheap and it's cheerful and those are MAJOR pluses. Definitely hits way above its weight in terms of value and joy: Happy is genuinely the right word for once. For a big orange and bitter-orange niche snob like me, it's just a leeeetle bit basic (don't hate me): a tiny touch oversweet, a tad generic at the bottom end. It's not as amazing as its higher-end Chopard cousin Orange Mauresque (less sophisticated, a bit less warm and complex) and - let's face it - it's not Boucheron Orange de Bahia, which is my own personal bigarade sweet spot. Happy Bigaradia also comes on real strong at first (great big burst of teenage enthusiasm on first spray!) but doesn't quite have the staying power to stay (on me) for long; and its undertow gets a little samey. But forget all that, because it will simply make you smile. Perhaps it's the carrot that convinces me. This may not WOW, but it definitely does ZING. Has the zest of the best. Welcome to the big leagues, bigarade baby!

Light touch aldehydes radiate the citrus in the top. There's quickly a slightly sweet and creamy vegetal note. Honeyed carrot and sesame creates a hippy chick tone to the fragrance, even as it remains modern, light, gauzy and friendly. There is a solid base. It's similar to the French aperitif style, Lillet, for example, and not like an Italian bitter. It's unusual, "le sport chic", with Swiss understatement. Bought a tester online, 100ml gorgeous bottle with cap, for $20. There may be some irony because I wonder if this was launched just before the pandemic and never had a chance to find its delighted customers, and now Chopard is clearing stock. I wouldn't recommend it at the $100 Geneva shop price, unless somone has throwaway money, but it's a "Happy" purchase indeed, at $20.

Great summery cologne type with edp performance. Genderless. Not looking at the notes I would say it's oranges and basil. Reminds me of Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basillic and even Pamplelune. The Guerlains are more feminine, but similar in concept. I sprayed it on myself today morning, 8pm and I still can feel it all around me. This is heat wave companion. When just about everything irritates this refreshes. Looking at the notes and questioning the scent in more details I can feel neroli, orange blossom, bitter orange, sesame, carrot, cedar, mandarine, labdanum.. Mainly neroli though (after many hours).

I have bought all the Chopard Happy testers for less then 20 dollars. And trying them on back and forth I have to say this one is good. Bigaradia has an amazing bitter orange opening but that does not last more then 45 mins and then it turns into a bit of a sweet perfume probably because of the honied carrot. Brigardia lasts OK as well but its such a shame because the orange on top is soooo good. It does remind me of the TF neroli perfume at the beginning, afterwords it turns into a soleil blanc/Fleur d'orchidee type of scent.

I got this during a mini Christmas haul and was initially disappointed when comparing this to the other citrus perfume I received. Once I gave it a real application I was able to appreciate it for what it is instead of what I’d been expecting. It’s fruity and sweet in a lovely rich baked good way. The honey and patchouli give it a weight that is unique for a citrus fragrance. Like a buttery orange pound cake. Looking forward to seeking out the carrot and sesame notes on future applications. Overall 8/10

A sparkling, innocent take on orange blossom. The combination of jasmine and neroli feels light and almost 'pink' in its sweetness, grounded gently by cedar and patchouli. It’s pleasant and 'cute' in the best way possible. It wasn’t an instant obsession, but it’s so agreeable and easy to wear that I’ve genuinely fallen for its charm. Truly a happy, bright and simple fragrance.

Beautiful, inoffensive, bright citrus-white floral fragrance. Very summery. I just wish it lasted longer than an hour! I spray a lot of this and even spray on my clothing, but it just lacks staying power. It reminds me of Clinique Happy, but better, with more brightness from the lemony notes and much less strong and cloying. It's lovely, I just want it to stick around!

Very floral and gently sweet despite having citrus elements I wouldn't call it citric or fresh. Has a very prolonged longevity. I really like how it unfolds, the result is orange blossom and sweet tangerine/mandarine that is not synthetic at all. Absolutely pleasant and delicate, although my favorite from the Happy Chopard line is Lemon Dolci.

This is not such a light scent I expected. Its bit heavy and in your face. Bitter orange detected at first seconds. After 15 mins its more rounded and well balanced. I got it for £14 for 50ml so it was a bargain! It will be great for spring and maybe summer

I love this perfume. It's fresh, a little bit sweet, last 4-5 hours. Three days of wearing this and I already got 5 compliments from different people. My co worker said I smell 'holy' Lol!😂 I already ordered my back up bottle as it's not expensive.

Happy Chopard Bigaradia was a blind buy for me and it is a really well blended, natural smelling perfume for sweet and bitter taste lovers. Unfortunately too much bitterness/sweetness is going on plus there's smth that irritates me a bit, especially in the first accord which gradually and too slowly for me fades away as the perfume develops on skin. May be it's the carrot note which gives kind of a vegetably feeling on me although Chopard itsef does not mention it. I gave the perfume to my aunt who likes bright bittery perfumes! She loves it and it really corresponds so well her sparkling, open and optimistic personality! Therefore do test on your skin first if you are on a more introvert side!

Blind bought it ,because i had a sad day and wanted to cheer myself.Well,i got sadder after spraying it on me .I had a distant memory from the past ,when it first was released and i kinda liked it very much in the store ,BUT now ,after many years probably my taste was changed a lot and now this is so not good to my nose Anyway...the top notes are awful on me- synthetic man's cologne with neroli(but a cheap and nasty one ),middle notes got warmer and sweeter ,because of the honey and mandarin and thank God,the base notes become more sophisticated and luxurious with the patchouli .I wish it wasn't so citrusy and with so much neroli in it.Once again-i wish i bought something which i like

I wore this for just over a week but the lack of sillage and longevity put me off. It is a fresh oranges smell, not juicy with maybe a touch of washing powder- it reminded me a little of Moschino So Real. I mostly sprayed it on my clothes in an attempt to make it last a little longer, but sillage was still minimal. I could only smell the honey when I smell the sprayer, once sprayed the honey note is lost. So far it is the one I like the least from the line. Bottle is beautiful and the cap is actually glass, which doesn't happen very often. I am afraid it might just sit on my tray for the way it looks not the way it smells or performs. I got it for less than £25, so it's no big deal.

It’s an interesting composition, not just another citrus fragrance. Initially I liked that it’s a bit different and to my surprise it works best in cooler weather, it’s a winter citrus fragrance in my opinion. Eventually though I couldn’t handle it, it’s got something quite hefty about it that I don’t enjoy and if you overspray, it feels unpleasantly overpowering. I don’t regret buying it as it has some unusual traits but now that I’ve finished with it - after some room spraying at the end I must confess - I won’t consider having it again.

I purchased this perfume based on it's reviews as I am a big fan of citrus perfumes. It's opening note it rather interesting and it produces a strong herby (sage) smell which I am not too keen on. This eventually fades away to evolve into a soft blossom perfume. I have had many compliments after the dry down. I just wish it didn't have the initial herb note.

Aigner`s Debute dupe.But Debut is way much more high class,although is much cheaper.This one looks like a bottle for a child and although the juice is nice, doesnt justify its price.

很線性的橘子甜+白花 單純的橘子果肉甜 沒有柑橘皮的清爽酸 白花部分則是橙花與茉莉 就這樣,沒別的 無功無過 平平的一支

Got this blindly, and boy,do I regret it. Unfortunately, I got 100 ml too. The bottle is beautiful, but the juice is like a rougher version of Lancome Orange Bigarade. Well, it's bitter orange, with orange blossom, beeswax, amber, and the overall impression lacks freshness and juiciness. There is no sparkle. I suppose if you're on a budget and can't afford Orange Bigarade, this would do. But having the original, this feels like a cheaper dupe. The first spray is nearly identical. So far so good. But the dry down changes, it becomes tainted with amber, whereas the Orange Bogarde stays greener and fresher. In retrospective it is not that bad, but really useless if you already own the Lancome, like I do. If someone wants it, well, you can find it on my swap shelf. There is also a saltiness found in Olympea Intense, which doesn't agree with me.

Another let down, nothing happy about Bigaradia. The orange is quickly replaced by a dirty carrot and overpowers the whole dry down as it isn't a long lasting one anyway. In an hour you need to sniff your skin, touching it with your nose to be able to detect some scent. Patchouli shouldn't be there at all, doesn't fit with the rest of the aromas. Overall bad combination. The only happy Chopard perfume is the Happy Roses ...for now.

24. May 2024 I saw this in a supermarket today 29,90 for 30ml and thought i would give it a try, based on the positive reviews and promising notes. I have bad experience with Rose and Lemon ones from same line, but still you never know, so i sprayed once on my wrist. Oh boy, this was a wrong move. I literally hate this smell, cause it literally smells of a wax, stewed carrot and some sharp notes maybe a cedar. I cannot say i smell oranges or neroli (as many suggestions in "reminds me of" are), the smell is nothing refreshing, its very chaotic and unbalanced to my nose. Basically it reminds me of a scented furniture wax, which means it is utterly synthetic and not pleasing. Bad thing for me is also the loud sillage, i had to rush home to wash it off yet i can still smell it. I read many people like it, but i truly cannot stand it. I thought it is refreshing summery neroli scent, based on notes and reviews, but not on my skin. Thos is why i generally believe negative reviews are equally important as well as positive, since someone might buy it blindly and not like it.

Oh Bigaradia I had such high hopes for us. I have been searching forever for a juice drippingly orange packed scent that trickled down my throat and collarbone with a backdrop of Jasmine and orange blossom , a slight kick of orange bitters and CARROT ! ( I have come to adore a carrot/vegetal note after wearing 'Un Jardin sur le Nil !) Add the promise of a dry down involving Cedar and Patchouli...you had my heart.....in the written word at least. I couldn't get you in the 40ml bottle so I waited ..and purchased your sister scents in the Chopard 'Happy' range... 'Lemon Dulci' and 'Felicia Roses' in 40ml sizes.. Lovely as they were it just made me keener to meet you as you had such fantastic reviews and I eventually succumbed to the 100ml of Bigaradia. Boy was I disappointed. I so wanted to love this that I had a 2nd bottle in my cart. It is not rich and fruity no 'sunshine burst' of warm citrus..nor is there a bouquet of white flowers waiting in the wings...and as for Cedar and Patchouli??? :( It is , at very best , a light orange blossom and Neroli 'cologne' style perfume with some notes of honey and very subtle Jasmine ( though it could be any white floral tbh ).. the carrot note is fleeting and sanitized and there is a waxy quality to the entire scent that dulls everything down as in a candle version . It doesn't last...even at 8 sprays... and has very little silage.( My husband who is super sensitive to fragrance didn't even notice it after I'd shoved my wrist under his nose several times!) There IS a bit of a fresh opening but that fades very quickly and then a reprise that comes at the 30/40 min mark and is warmer and just as you are starting to feel you are getting something of what you were promised.... it sputters to a halt like a dodgy fire cracker. After that 'vaguely pleasant' is the best I can say about it . I much prefer the others in the range. Will not re purchase and may well 're-home' my existing 95ml. My Review for Lemon Dulci is up here and will review Felicia Roses in the next few days. Not a blind buy in my opinion....! Edit. I wrote this in June and have not reached for this scent during the (unusually!) warm summer here. The days are much colder now and boy does this smell way better. The orange notes are much stronger , the carrot note more prominent ...and the white florals and woody base all come together to present a truly elegant fragrance. This is most definitely an Autumn and Winter performer !!! The price has shot up so if you can bag it at a decent cost then purchase now and wear in the chill .

This is an energizing fragrance and, although it might seem totally summery, I think it can be very versatile, a citrus scent that fits all year round. It has bitter orange and carrot at the top. It almost reminds one of those juices with a supposed Mediterranean flavor that I liked so much when I was a teenager. After a while, the perfume starts to sweeten very slightly thanks to the honey and I start to smell orange blossom and neroli. The result is juicy, almost makes my mouth water. With the time, the scent becomes somewhat more ambery. It has a moderate sillage and lasts on my skin for about 8 hours, excellent when it comes to this olfactory profile. Personally I like the bottle, I find it very cheerful, as is the perfume itself. In short, a perfume with a great value for money, perfect for lovers of the citrus-neroli-orange blossom combo. Smell 7.5/10 Duration 8/10 Sillage 7/10 Quality/price 8/10 Versatility 7.5/10 Packaging 8/10 Would I buy again? Probably

This is so much more than a typical neroli/orange blossom perfume thanks to the honey and carrot note. I blind bought this and was worried it would be a sickly sweet floral patchouli fragrance, but thankfully, the honey and patchouli are just supporting players. It's an extremely classy and uplifting clean scent that is incredibly well-blended. If you enjoy perfumes like Un Jardin en Mediterranee, you will love this. Though not dupes, I get a very similar experience in terms of feeling, quality, and performance. An absolute steal for the price. Blind-buy safe if you enjoy neroli/orange blossom perfumes.

The promising notes are played out on the safer side, so Happy Chopard Bigaradia ends up quite dull, safe and rather familiar. Kind of citrus fruity and fresh (but not overly) floral scent. Diluted orange blossom water sweetened with honey left in the room temperature. Not really refreshing or bright. Some earthy carrot and leathery labdanum with fresher neroli; also very small dose of mandarin and bitter orange; and nicely grounding patchouli done right. Moderation in everything.

I love the beeswax and carrot seed note in Prada La Femme. This has that same clean bees waxy, carroty undertone with a really modern and sophisticated bitter orange. The sesame and labdanum give it depth and flavor if you will. Very simple, yet unordinary. I overspray this and it lasts on my skin and clothes forever. The white florals are delicate. About an hour after the dry down, I REALLY REALLY like this one. Successful blind buy imo.

This one is really surprised me after wearing amber malaki from chopard i know that theres quality from this house. And this citrus one is lassssttttt and project very well much much better than chanel in my opinion. At first sprits it smells like an expensive floor cleaner and its better with time when it settles in your skin you’re know you’re in the lush garden. Very comforting and Beautiful ! Dont be fooled by it’s ugly bottle

I find that although this has a similar scent character as TF's Neroli Portifino, Happy blows that fragrance out of the water in its execution and performance. Happy is one of those orangy citrus scents that smell natural, but isn't too tart and boring. I find TF's to be the blandest citrus scent that lasts all but 5 seconds on the skin then poof its gone. I find the base notes in Happy really ground the fragrance in staying put.

I bought this based on the notes and good reviews. Paid it about 20 euro,so it was very cheap. I figured it would be a nice office fragrance, nothing too offensive. Well...it's not offensive alright. It's boring. Does not feel fresh by any means, on me it's just beleah. I don't hate it, but it doesn't smell like anything. I use it after shower now,trying to finish the bottle and it doesn't last more than half an hour

So listen, I paid €17 for this. The presentation is absolutely unreal for that price - the box is gorgeous and the bottle is really heavy and feels more expensive than a lot of crazy expensive niche bottles. The perfume? It reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on. It smells like orange juice in a very perfume-y type of way - it almost leans a little bit vintage. Quite sophisticated. I like it.

If you know what Hermes Jardin Sur Le Nil smells like in the dry down and can imagine some orange bitters added in - sort of campari without the alcohol - then you can get an idea of what this one smells like. Bigaradia is actually much stronger than the Hermes so it's great value for a summer perfume (and what a beautiful bottle!), but you will have to like neroli!
