Tentation

I accidentely ran into this perfume at the store, and just took a sample and sprayed on my wrist - the whole evening I was intrigued by it's smell - it is very provocative, and it unfolds very nicely on me. First starts out with cinammon spice smell, then subtly into something velvety, mandarin and vanilla like. I love it - and it does the trick on men too! They love it!!!

On first sniff I was immediately reminded of a lost gem of the past: Versace Versus Donna. That was epic. This Tentation (one of the silly names of the brand) is on a similar vibe, but tamed. It's pleasant with red rose, juicy blackcurrant, tonka (or a similar chemical). It is equally plasticky like Versus, but not in a bad way. It smells sensual and lively. Duration and sillage are average to high in EdT. There is also an extrait version which sits closer to skin but lasts longer.

I must admit that at first it smelled like nail polish remover. Later it calmed down to nice woody sweetness bomb. Vanilla is very dominant here. I'd say it's quite pleasant and worth a try.

Extremely sweet and plastic. I couldn't trace a genuine rose here.

What a sweet, sweet rose. For those who love gourmand roses. A lot of rose and vanilla and tonka, some violet, blackcurrant and jasmine. Woody notes are also noticeable. Sweet, strong, warm, enfolding oriental floral. I can't smell any spices or citrus or aquatic notes. Not a big sillage, but stays on skin for quite a few hours. Well done, but there are better roses for a lower price.
