Rhea

A fragrância Rhea é a cópia FIEL do Coco Mademoiselle, da Chanel. A diferença é que custa 3x mais e dura 6x mais do que as colônias baratas do Boticário. Cabe a nós comprarmos as fragrâncias verdadeiras e deixarmos as colônias de lado. =) -- Rhea's cologne is the SAME thing as Coco Mademoiselle, by Chanel. The difference is that Boticario's cheaper, but lasts less than the original fragrance. Let's just get the real ones and leave the copies behind. =)

Rhea is a magnificent fragrance from O Boticário. It's flowery, charming, sexy, romantic and alluring. I love when my girlfriend wears Rhea. It's a kind of perfume that makes me wish to kiss her everytime. It has a nice projection and last for many hours on my girlfriend's skin. You can trust me, it's better than many expensive colognes out there. My final rating: 9.0/10

É uma pena que saiu de linha. Era maravilhoso, muito fino e elegante.

Old tropical flowers, skin, and silk fabric. A slightly faded femininity. O Boticário Rhea is, to me, a fragrance with a nostalgic and slightly faded beauty. What I sense at first is not a bright, modern floral, but a sweetness that reminds me of old tropical flowers. The flowers are blooming, but they do not feel young or freshly dewy. Instead, they seem to carry time within them, as if their scent had soaked into skin and fabric. There is a glamorous floral sweetness here, along with a faintly retro cosmetic feeling. However, it is not too heavy or overwhelming. Rather, it leaves a soft femininity that stays quietly close to the skin. As it dries down, the floral sweetness settles and becomes softer, almost as if it were blending into the skin. To me, it evokes silk nightwear, morning coffee, a slightly old bedroom, and humid tropical air. It is not a clean and transparent scent. It is a scent that contains body warmth and memory. Rhea is not a young or cute fragrance. Nor do I think it is obviously modern or polished. But that is exactly where its charm lies. It has a slightly old-fashioned, slightly sensual, and slightly tired beauty. It is not the scent of a perfectly polished woman, but of a woman who wears her own memories and time. Rather than seducing men in an obvious way, I think this is a fragrance that remains in the memory of someone close to you. It does not make people turn around dramatically. Instead, it is the kind of scent that may return to someone’s mind later. In a humid climate like Japan, I feel that the softness of this fragrance and its slightly moist floral quality come out more clearly. In my own bottle, the scent feels somewhat rich, so in humid countries it is important to be careful with application. I prefer to use it in a very small amount with a roll-on rather than as a spray. One small drop on each ankle, and a very small amount on the chest. For the neck or nape, the scent left on my hand is more than enough. After that, I wash my hands thoroughly. When sprayed widely, it feels a little too strong for me. In a drier climate, it might feel more powdery, or perhaps more noticeably retro. Now that a long time has passed since its release, the bright sharpness of the top notes has faded somewhat in my bottle. However, from the middle notes to the drydown, the slightly bitter floral sweetness is very elegant, and it has developed a character that I do not find in many other fragrances. On a woman, it creates the atmosphere of a private room in an old film, silk fabric, tropical flowers, and morning light. I think it suits moments when one wants to express a calm femininity rather than youthful prettiness. For me, Rhea is like “the memory of flowers and skin left in an old tropical bedroom.” It has a slightly faded beauty that newer fragrances do not possess. It may not be a fragrance for everyone, but I am drawn to this faded, feminine quality. Notes for myself Sweetness: moderate Cleanliness: low to moderate Retro feeling: high Femininity: high Sensuality: moderate, but restrained Season: spring, autumn, humid days, cool evenings Occasions: quiet nights at home, time spent with someone close, vintage-inspired outfits, quiet days Caution: may feel a little old-fashioned to those who prefer modern transparency or freshness

Cópia do importado CM da Chanel, aliás, como praticamente todas as fragrâncias femininas de O Boticário. Infelizmente essa linha de perfumes se preocupa com a moda do momento, no que vende mais. Não tem o meu respeito e isso é fato. Clavin Klein segue uma linha. Prada é identificável. TM tem uma filosofia. Mas, infelizmente, essa marca nacional não tem respeito pelo consumidor, copia e descontinua perfumes com tanta frequencia que espanta qualquer um. Quanto ao perfume, eu o senti e usei por alguns dias. Gostei, mas não me encantou. Mas quando comprei o CM, da Chanel, eu amei. Virou o meu preferido para ocasiões especiais. Para as órfãs do Rhea que não quiserem comprar o CM tem esse já citado da da Yves de Sistelle, o Sanderling. Não conheço, mas já usei Yves de Sistelle e achei a fixação mais fraca, mas tá valendo a dica. Tem um Cuba que também é parecido com o CM.
