Forever Love

Same deal as Roja 1819, I ended up finding a great deal on Forever Love and decided to go "against" my decant experience. MY REVIEW FROM A BOTTLE: Different from Sedley, this is no minty/ambroxan focused fragrance. Rather an astringent citrus blast that perseveres through the life of this great wearing fruity fragrance. Orange smell for sure, but in no way redundant with, for example, Aqua de Dora and Afternoon Swim - the latter being a much more aquatic orange fruit smell. This isn't the easiest citrus to wear, but definitely appeals to me. An easy grab for warmer weather but, really a fall daily wear. Strong enough to push through the day while fresh enough for an office wear for example at a more relaxed setting. Ended up paying ~$110 for full bottle, so the cost-benefit was awesome. My experience was elevated from the actual bottle, and unlike the person below me, I don't find unimaginative, nor anyway too sweet ("rotten mango?") I'm yet to try a miss from the company, from fresh to heavy. Worth the sample if you're looking for something like this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY REVIEW FROM A DECANT: Performance on me was around the 6h mark in longevity and projection is okay for a clean scent like this. Very fresh, clean, even somewhat soapy with light fruits that will give you a perfumed scent bubble for sufficient time (considering the scent profile). Smells very much like Sedley to me with more fruits and has about the same performance. It's quite redundant to own both, but rather a beautiful presentation for both. This reminds me slightly of Aqua de Dora in the far opening but not redundant - tired of comparisons with Tygar and its DNA - this nor ADD smell like Tygar. This would definitely be a better pickup for around $100 but finding it for $140 is not too bad either - very easy-going and a great overall three-season fragrance. I would lever pull this one out during winter nor during the night to be honest. Just know you're getting a fragrance that will perfume you without being intrusive. This won't get you any attention from afar.

Now this is nice. A fruity, uplifting fragrance with a lovely amber backbone. I was worried it might be too sweet and although it does carry a sweetness to it, I don’t find it too much, probably because it’s so well blended. The tangerine and grapefruit up top really pop in quite a photorealistic way which balances the sweetness with a certain sharpness. As it dries, its complexity shines with a melding of slightly tropical and warm notes, all held together by the amber that adds depth and structure. Unisex leaning slightly masculine. It’s wonderfully done and I can see why it gets such high ratings. It’s likened below to several different fragrances and I can see why. Its complexity lends itself to elements of those mentioned whilst not being exactly like any of them. If you want to imagine what it’s really like, I’d say it’s a more complex and fruity version of Afternoon Swim (I’m saying certain elements of this remind me of that fragrance, not that they are the exactly the same before I’m shot down). Certainly in the same ball park. This is going to be great in the summer when I go to Mykonos. I think it’s really classy which is a surprise as I was worried it might be too much, too sickly or too brash. Performance is decent too. With great staying power and a nice amount of projection. Excellent work and a rare blind buy success.

It's finally summer. It's 30 degrees outside. I put on a T-shirt and sit outside an ice cream parlor. In front of me on the table is a large sundae with delicious mango and melon ice cream. There are also some fresh melon pieces on the ice cream as a topping. I've ordered a glass of water with a few slices of lemon floating in it. I take a big sip and am immediately refreshed by this lovely citrusy taste. I lean back and look around. Next to me is a beautiful, lush meadow of flowers with all kinds of different blossoms shining brightly in the sun. A smile is on my lips. I enjoy this beautiful moment and close my eyes. The sun is shining on my face. This is perfect, I think to myself... But unfortunately, beautiful moments are fleeting. I quickly finish my glass of water and eat the lemon slices. There's not much left of my sundae either. A few remnants of melted melon ice cream still cover the bottom of the cup. A dark cloud slowly creeps in front of the sun and I feel the urge to leave. When the bill arrives, I have to swallow. Quite expensive for such a short pleasure.

So far the best fruity perfume I have come across, considering that I usually don't like this family. This one is not "chemical", doesn't resemble shower gel, shampoo, chewing gum or dessert. Not girly, not childish, just calmly positive, soft, but juicy and rich. Nectary-sweet, but not cloying. Some other Pana Dora perfumes have sharp modern synthetic amber/woody base, but not here, fortunately. The melon note here is wonderful, very natural, does not turn into shower gel, as often happens with others. I also clearly notice geranium, it works so well, grounds and adds "nobility", so to speak. The combination of fruits with fougere notes gives a very pleasant iridescent duochrome effect. Personally, I find it works better on skin. The buttery texture of the mango blends into the skin, creating a very nice creamy effect. But on paper or fabric, it can be a bit dry. Perfectly unisex. Very pleasant and safe, but with a twist.

Pretty good! Like, it hits you with this burst of freshness that's seriously top-notch. You can tell they didn't skimp on the quality here, as expected from this house. However, the opening is kinda different from Aqua de Dora, but as it settles in, it's leans more and more towards the original scent. Additionally, the opening has a feminine flair to it, no doubt with a hint of that Sedley charm from Parfums de Marley. Performance-wise, it's decent, but it's no marathon runner. If you're looking for a fresh, unisex scent with a touch of complexity, this one's worth a try. Just don't expect it to last through the afterparty. Guaranteed to lift your mood, no ifs, ands, or buts. I'm itching to rock this at a pool party, with the sun blazing, channeling those Ibiza vibes like nobody's business.

This one smells amazing! Imagine Tygar mixed LV afternoon swim with added fruits that smells very natural. It Lasts a good 4-6 hours with moderate performance. Overall, I love this one and understand with the naturals used it’s not going to be a beast but it does its thing. I’m trying to find it at discounters but it’s looking like I may have to pay discounted retail. Definitely sample worthy. Tangerine note mixed with that mango 🥭 is GOAT status. Edit: Performance is on par or slightly better then LV afternoon swim. Between the two I’d pick this. Less than half the price of the LV and adds a few more notes to improve the the DNA.

I'm in love with this stuff I cannot glaze it hard enough Every single note is balanced perfectly It lasts 14 hours on my skin Sillage is pretty huge while not at all overpowering the bottle is gorgeous Uplifting, fun, sexy, incredible, soothing and complex scent Perfect perfume, can't get enough of it My daily Signature scent. The only 10/10 Summer perfume I know Btw Aqua de Dora is EXCELLENT - but not quite as good as this, and they're NOT similar. Unless you think everything citrus smells the same idk vro... It's not like Bvlgari tygar either >:( grrr

Ok I changed my mind about this brand - somehow first time I sampled everything all of them seemed too much, but now a few are a clear love, and Forever Love is one of them (no pun intended). Intense zingy bright citrus with a lasting power - lovely for summer. Scandic and Aqua de Dora are on par with this one Skadi is also lovely but really feels like a dupe of Guidance... Dorasima is a nice bright floral with lots of orange blossom, rose, and violet Moonlight is a delicious chocolaty gourmand that is not sweet Emanuele I’m still on the fence about

I just got this in, brought it to the office (I was the only one here) and sprayed it once in the break room. My first thought was "this smells just like Mefisto from Xerjoff". I came back from the restroom and I smelled it from the front door back to the break room. This stuff is STRONG, one of the strongest warm weather fragrances I've come across. I liked Mefisto but it was too fleeting so I ended up giving it away to a friend. Forever Love is a stronger, more well-blended version of Mefisto and I'm liking it so far.

Beautiful citrus summer scent. I tried a 2ml sample, will definitely get a full bottle. Aqua de Dora is like the cool older brother to Forever Love (the cute little sister). I love Aqua de Dora, but I love the sweetness from Forever Love more, and the cool/dark aspect of Aqua de Dora reminds me of Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Homme Eau De Toilette, although Aqua de Dora obviously has way better longevity.

It's afternoon swim, if afternoon swim had any depth and base at all - but better either way. The sharp orange vibe is there, but so much more. However, if you only want that AS musky orange thing, this isn't for you. This is a spicy musky orange ginger scent with a woody complex base. It's actually fantastic. Having smelled and worn both AS and this, this wins big. For me. Quality smells on par easily.

Photorealistic orange softened by some woods and fruity notes. Extremely natural and uplifting, mostly bitter but with some sweet nuances. I sprayed this at a techno party in a basement that was absolutely sweltering. People around me noticed and kept approaching me telling me how good I smell. I think the perfume cut through the heat, smoke and body odor really well.

This is very nice. Opens citrusy and slightly aromatic and as time goes on the melon, mango, amber and tonka bean really shines. Nothing groundbreaking but nevertheless, a really nice high quality spring and summer fragrance. Would take this over a lot of other niche summer fragrances.

Let me start by saying, this BANGS! The Tangerine and Grapefruit dance in tune with the Melon and Mango, while the Vetiver and Amber can be seen clapping and cheering them on in the background. It’s a 10/10 fruity summer fragrance which is just so masterfully blended. Recommended!

Not sure how to describe this juice, I love it. If I can say, it is citrus and a bit green but yet sweet - it is balanced in a very smooth way - every sniff is different 😂 not sure why I smell tea in it! wearable all year (maybe you need a warmer one for winter). This is a gem

A hidden gem... This stuff is truly incredible. The concoction of fruits and florals really shines. It's a feel-good fragrance. @DShadow describes it perfectly. I'm super impressed with all of the Pana Dora offerings I've tried up until now. I think they'll go far.

Ultimate summer scent with an intimate sillage. 6 to 8hr lasting citrus heaven. Feels like you're walking into a citrus garden surrounded by flowers in the background. Truly unisex.

Amazing, Lavender, bergamot and lemon are the main players. I feel like im on a paradise field with sweet lemons around me on a hot weather. Gorgeous fragrance!

It has the same mouth watering juicy quality of Afternoon Swim but goes in a different direction with more green, fresh spicy and floral notes.
