Boss Orange Celebration of Happiness

God dammit the uneducated staff... ...I asked in a duty free shop if this is the exactly same fragrance as the Orange regular - they did not have the smaller bottles of it. Of course it was not. Definitely more floral/fruity than Orange - and that does not necessarily suit me. On the other hand this is simmering with more complexity - but actually I was after that warm glowy and pretty straightforward wood / vanilla chord refreshed with apple (and perhaps backed up with amber although it is not mentioned in Fragrantica notes) of the original. The cinnamon note is very nice addition, though - gives the scent more that zest you could expect from the name given. There is another very popular fragrance I know (being Dolce & Cabbana Light Blue) with this specific phenomena: many people are complaining that it doesn't last - when I personally find it extremely lasting - the same applies with this and original Orange. I don't know if it is about differences in skin chemistry... ...or could it even be differences in sense of smell in such a way that some people tend to stop sensing these after wearing them a while? Once in a while I spot a person wearing these fragrances used so heavily that I just wonder if it is an attempt to compensate their "vanishing" nature. On my skin I definitely find the scent even 24 hrs after applying - sometimes even with detectable sillage from a distance.

Overall Celebration of Happiness is a sweet fruity perfume. I've had it for a while now, and finally decided to use it up. When sprayed at first, I couldn't really figure out what the notes were, it was slightly alcoholic and generic. Then comes the sweet Cinnamon and tangy Orange flower. Towards the dry down I can detect plums in the background, blended with Vanilla and sandalwood. This is where I started to like the perfume, it becomes a skin scent but a pretty one. The longevity on my skin is up 4 hours so needs to re-apply every so often. It can be suitable for daytime spring-summer wear.

I had it about year and a half ago. It was may when I bought it, and this perfume smelled extremely cool! But when the fall came I started realising that if smells like some sour fruits and cheep sigarettes on me.. Some of my friends said they could wear it thoughout all the winter, but I couldn't. Moreover, it seems to have gone off too quickly.. Now it just feels like some simple cheep " fruity sweet" water for 5 dollars a bottle =//

I tested it today. It is very similar to the original Boss Orange, but a little bit more fruity and less vanile. In the original version it is too much vanile at the base notes. This version is more for spring, summer time. I like the perfume, it let feel me a woman.

Gostosinho ... It's nice and cozy, but it's not a perfume to impress. Recommended for the day, season spring / summer ... Gostosinho... É agradável e aconchegante, mas não é um perfume para impressionar. Recomendado para o dia, estação primavera/verão...
