Toujours Glamour

I put this away for a while and just remembered I had it. Now I know why I love it, so similar to Armani Sensi, a love that will always cheer me up. Azzaro Visit is similar to Sensi too, btw. Oh, the almond and burst of citrus (like kaffir lime to me) are so silky and fresh but not at all in a soapy or salty way. This is so cheap and still available. Be sure to get the blue cap, not the red one. === Dear "Always Glamorous" -- I bought you as a blind buy based on reviews here mentioning doll's head/plasticky notes, Love's Baby Soft, Sensi, L'Instant Magic, and baby scents. To me, you are a combination of LBS and Johnson's Baby Shampoo -- how I love both of those. I detect a tiny PlayDoh note too, squee! I have been spraying it everywhere. Comforting as hell (realize that's an oxymoron). Is there lotion or oil??? 2010 sounds about right, the end of the 2000s right before it all got gourmand. Wish there was an intense version. Come back!

The initial spray straightly reminds me of vintage Dream Angels Heavenly by Victoria Secret, maybe because they share the same violet-musk-cardamom notes. I’m a bit surprised as i was expecting more almond and heliotrope in this one. Turned out that it smells quite clean, sharp violet leaf, and musky. And yes it recalls Nivea cream. It's indeed a bit sour on my skin in the early phase, but getting better as it settles down. Not at all a bad scent, in fact i enjoy this perfume more and more, but it just a miles away from what i imagined it would be with the notes in the list. Will give it another try and assess. EDIT: it's warmer and nuttier after 20-30 minutes, think i will like it more ;)

I really like this! I blind bought it based on comparisons here and I'm happy! Although you have to reapply it (maybe a spray per hour), it's affordable, so no big deal. I wore it to work for the first time today and received a compliment by a very... well... snooty personality, LOL!This says a lot to me, especially since I couldn't even smell it. Perfect for feeling like you just showered when you haven't actually had time to, like me this AM. Still felt fresh!

My easy-to-go winterscent. It is cozy, fluffy, powdery, a bit soapy (at the opening) and indeed very much like Nivea body milk. The heart scent is indeed sweeter thanks to the almond and jasmine, but I do not find it overly sweet even though I do not like (too) sweet scents. For me this is like a cashmere sweater with jeans: cozy and casual, and would not wear it in spring or summer.

This juice doesn't smell Like Nivea lotion at all. It stays close of you. It is a fragrance to enjoy alone. At one point, after an opening of green notes, it smells somewhat bitter. The dry down comes very fast and a powdery and sweeter heliotrope can be felt close to skin. It doesn't seem like there were more notes than this flower. It's like a solinote. Ideal for spring time.
