Cassis & Pink Pepper

I love this one, every time I remember I have it and try it out again I get addicted and can't get enough. Such a unique and strong smell, I wear this one when I wanna stand out. The last review describes it as a fresh spicy rather than warm and that feels like the perfect way to describe it. It feels energetic and uplifting, kind of like the first sunny day after a week of rain in the springtime where you just want to spend all day outside.

Beautifully refreshing unisex fragrance! It's a citrus-woodsy scent, but not generic or boring whatsoever. Lasts longer on fabric than on skin, but it's a great value for the price. It's pretty linear and stays the same after the drydown, which is a huge plus for me. Would recommend this one as something to spray on the go when you want to feel fresh and cool. Overall for me: 9/10.

Layer this with any Miss Dior. You're welcome.

I'm gonna start by saying the value for money is great with this. What it lacks in longevity is made up by being able to shamelessly reapply and get more. A nice spring/summer scent, not super complex, but fresh. The pink pepper is absolutely a prominent note, but this isn't a "warm spicy" scent, it's fresh spicy, a bit of citrus, green, and a white floral. The florals wrap themselves around the centerfold fresh spice, and as far as individual notes, I think gardenia describes it the best. It smells a little aged/synthetic, but it's brightened up by a backseat fruity sweetness. Unfortunately the citrus is the same, a bit synthetic, like a hotel shampoo bergamot. Once the top notes wear off it turns into "generic fresh floral woman's fragrance", but it's also really inoffensive, and has a nice sweet fresh kick. For the money I honestly can't complain.

In my opinion, this was awful. It was a blind buy as there were no in-store samples to try it out. The reason I bought it was for the cassis, which turned out to be a note I could NOT detect. All I can describe it as is 100% mosquito spray. Awful. Returned it (a first for me - I have always kept all my frags, even the ones I'm not crazy about). I think it's the pink pepper note that I hate, so if anything at least it was educational - I know what to stay away from in the future! Sadly, this was the worst perfume I have literally ever smelled.
