Almaz

I don't read reviews before I write my own so sorry if this has already been said/redundant, but this smells like gummy bears. I'm getting green gummy bear because of the packaging but they all kinda taste the same to me apart from the superior pineapple flavor. This smells how those taste, but it doesn't have an obvious pineapple scent if that makes sense? It's quite a superior fruity scent. I already own Lamar from this house which smells like a creamy pineapple upside down cake and this is the glazed fruits on top. I've been getting a lot of tanghulu videos on my algorithms lately and this is a tanghulu perfume. Crispy and sweet and not too much yet just enough of all the right things. This might be in the top 5 things I've smelled all year, and top 10 fruity scents I've smelled, ever. It's getting so much harder to finalize my list of perfumes I want to buy at Christmas time, but this is a problem I created myself because I have to sample everything. If you're looking to add a fruity perfume, this is it. Also, if this means anything to you one way or the other, Megan Thee Stallion uses this perfume and I can see why. If I was rich enough this would be one of my signature scents too.

If anyone has a full bottle of this they're trying to sell message me!!! I am the most picky when it comes to fragrances, but can easily like any scent profile if it is well done, so I definitely think this is worth testing. I've tried hundreds of perfumes and Almaz was the first perfume I've ever smelled where I loved in instantly, and had zero reservations about particular notes rubbing me the wrong way. I get a bright citrusy guava/some tropical fruit, then it dries down to a slightly sweet gourmand with fruity raspberry touches. Definitely not a linear scent, you get the fresh fruits, then the mellow sweet floral raspberries, then the vanilla woody (definitely not too woody) dry down. Very realistic fruits to someone who has a picky nose, and doesn't have the synthetic plasticky feel of other fruity fragrances. If anyone is familiar with chinese guava candies, it has a similar scent but richer.

I hate all other perfumes of this house and I tend to be VERY cautious with all those eastern-wannabe brands that have been flooding the fragrance-market these days. That said, this one is a really REALLY nice and playfull fruit bomb that smells really natural (nothing like sospiro, erba pura, God of Fire etc that stink like toxic, spilled over, garage chemicals). To my nose, its mostly a mango-peach, fresh fruit juice that dries out creamy-vanillic, like a vanilla-mango sorbet. It has a clean feeling to it too, like shampoo-bodywash. Its very similiar to the mango body yogurt from bodyshop. I dont know how this is not hyped at all. Its the best fruity-tropical perfume I have smelled. Makes you thirsty for a mango daiquiri cocktail at the beach. My man loves it as well.

I've had my bottle for about two years now, and I've always liked it. It's beautifully unique. It IS strong, and it's really sweet and creamy; so if raspberries and cream with a shot of black currant and a drop of pink rose doesn't sound good to you, just don't even. That being said, upon first spray, it honestly gives me amoxicillin vibes. I was never mad at amoxicillin though😂 it's raspberry flavored! The dry down on skin is long lasting and a compliment MAGNET. The man in line at the grocery store, "I don't know who it is but somebody smells GOOD." The cashier pointed right at me, "It's her. I wasn't going to say anything, but since he did... what IS THAT?"👀😂

Nothing groundbreaking here BUT! I love this perfume. It's a juicy fruity bomb that just makes me happy every time I wear it! I wore it non stop for 2 weeks straight which rarely ever happens anymore given how many other "treasures" I have in my collection. I get an apple cider vibe even though there is no apple in it. The black currant and raspberries are mouthwatering and addictive while not necessarily ultra realistic. It is sweet but not confectionery type of sweet- just fruity-floral sweet through and through. Leans feminine and has a decent lasting power of 4-6 hours. Love! P.S. Similarities to Halley TT are legit.
