Miutine

The type of strawberry I wish Strawberry letter or Burberry Her gave off. It’s delicious, distinctly strawberry and sweet. It doesn’t last super long, but if you layer it over GA Si Passione Red Musk the pair are beautiful together. I honestly use Miutine like a body spray rather than a perfume, it lasts a while and is lovely, but the projection fades rather quick though it stays close to your skin for hours. I reapply this one twice a day usually as I am out and about for over 10 hours per day due to uni or work. When I first tried Miutine, I loved her but found the strawberry seemed to fade almost instantly. I didn’t end up buying her and went for the GA Red Musk I mentioned earlier. I realised then that I had probably gone nose blind due to the sheer amount of fragrances I was smelling so went back a week later and bought her. Since then, I loveee her! Sweetly strawberry, something I had been looking on the market and could not find! I loved the body shop strawberry line, and the initial strawberry note in this reminds me of that. It also has the creaminess of the vanilla and sweetness of the brown sugar which makes it a delightful and youthful fragrance. It’s a mature strawberry with whispers of shortcake fragrance. Jammy, ripe and delightful. If you are looking for a strawberry scent and have been disappointed with others in the market, this one will not disappoint! While she isn’t the most long lasting, just buy a travel vaporiser and you will be a very very happy camper. If I was in the office and long meetings and didn’t want to overpower a small room then I would just use this fragrance instead of layering it with the Red Musk. I would use it more like an eau de toilette. You would be hard pressed to find a strawberry scent that lasts an eternity, as there is little to hold it down. So, this one is definitely one of the top choices for me. If you are a strawberry girl, please give this one a chance!!

Classy strawberry perfume! On first impressions you definitely get sweetness from the strawberry note. However, what I appreciate about this fragrance, it’s not a super artificial strawberry like other scents. This strawberry is more refined smelling with the white florals, like gardenia and jasmine to compliment it. As it wears through the day, I would say it pretty much continues to smell the same as the first impression you get, however, the sweetness does dissipate slightly. I wish I got the brown sugar note that’s in there but personally for me I don’t get it at all. The sillage is quite good and the longevity as well. Occasionally during work I would move a certain way or adjust my cardigan and I could smell the fragrance on me. If you’re looking for a more mature strawberry scent, this is definitely the way to go! Personally, I’ve been struggling to find a good strawberry scent that doesn’t smell too artificial like Nest Santa Barbara Starwberry and Rabanne In love. I’m so happy and appreciative that I received a travel size of this!

Miutine opens with a big, juicy blast of a very ripe strawberry --- exactly what I'd hoped for, as I love love LOVE a good strawberry note, and want to see more more MORE strawberry in perfume! I don't get gardenia at all (I was secretly hoping this might be Ropion's version of Daisy, but it's actually closer in spirit to Kate Spade's delightful New York) but instead more rosiness after the strawberry subsides. I got a 10 ml to thoroughly test this before committing to a larger bottle, and while I'm greatly enjoying it, I'm not completely sold on this being my ultimate strawberry scent; it wears a bit lighter than I prefer and while the performance is not stellar, it lasts and projects nicely around half the day, which is not bad. So, all in all, Miutine smells great right off the bat, and is a really easy, fun and enjoyable everyday perfume. Lovely!! Update: I’m flying through the 10 ml. I love it, and reach for it often. Looks like I AM gonna need a big bottle of this beauty!! 🙌 🍓 💖💖

I have to be honest, I thought that, knowing my preference with scent spaces and perfume notes, that I would not be such a fan of this, HOWEVER, I was so incredibly wrong. This is not the typical 'generic designer linear sweet summer' scent, it is much more elevated and evolved than that, a sophisticated classic but modern. The strawberry in this is very particular, not a common strawberry perfume, but specifically a Mara de Bois wild strawberry, which has a much more distinctive vibrancy to it. It opens with a burst of tangy but lush strawberry which preludes a milky gardenia into blossoming rose. Yes the base is sweet, how could it not be, but much less sugared and cloying than one might expect thanks to the moss and amber facets. Dominique Ropion is never going to create anything less than creative sophistication and for me this is a very wearable gourmand, coming from someone who doesn't tend to be an avid fan of the overly sugared sweet side of the gourmand space.

This perfume has the most gorgeous strawberry note that ive ever smelled. I’ve been looking for my perfect strawberry for a while now but everything is either too synthetic, medicinal, powdery, earthy, etc... but the opening of this is pure sweet ripe juicy strawberry in a realistic way and it’s so damn good 😍 it’s sweet like candy. I just wish that opening lasted longer. In the dry down the patchouli starts poking through quite a bit more but It’s tolerable (coming from someone who hates patchouli),(but only cause that strawberry note is just that good). although it does turn this from a love to a like.. But this is such a pretty, fun, flirty scent that has an intoxicating warm sweetness to it and I highly recommend trying it if you love the idea of a realistic strawberry note because that’s what I get most more than anything.🍓🍓🍓 Ps men loveee this scent 😍
