Qissa Gala

Blind buying this was a big risk for someone like me who lives in constant love/hate with both violet and powdery fragrances, but I had faith. Qissa Gala has the most beautiful drydown I have smelled in a very long time and it was so worth it! Every single flower here is creamy and sweet without getting cloying thanks to the powdery musky touch. I can clearly smell the almond and coconut without any of them getting overpowering, and I believe this is a well-rounded fragrance thanks to the moss note kind of wrapping it all up. Not an 'old lady' flower fragrance at all, just sweet creamy flowers with violet as the main character where every note has its voice and moment but none of them are louder than the rest. I get compliments every time I wear this and a friend even bought it after smelling it on me. It is so good, powerful and projecting yet kind enough to be worn to the gym. I could easily wear this every day!!

I love white florals so I’m happy with this. The violet and creaminess from the coconut makes it almost Candy-like, but not quite. I went in blind with no point of reference with Easy Bake, so I really didn’t know what to expect. Actually, the violet gives it a cosmetic powdery note like lipstick from the 80s, but not so strong that it has that waxy throat sting lipstick notes carry. It starts sweet but dries down on the floral-powdery side. Because of that note I wouldn’t be surprised if I see the cliche “grandma” descriptor in the comments, but I think it’s quite pretty. I see this as an all season fragrance , save for autumn( just my personal tastes, but wear when you want, of course). A winter and spring daytime scent and a summer night time scent.

When I first got my bottle and sprayed it out, it smelled like one of my dad's colognes from the mid 80s... I think it was Grey Flannel - and it was a big no. But after a few days of letting it bloom, Gala turned out to be a pretty and unique fragrance. I have never smelled Easy Bake so I can't compare it, but this reminds me of Brookside dark chocolate acai blueberries. Creamy with mild sweetness and the perfect amount of fruitiness. From the notes listed, I get tuberose, coconut, almond, sweetnotes, and the violet leaf adds a touch of greenness. I can see this becoming one of my lifers.

I had given up on liking this fragrance. When I first received it, it was too quiet. Too subtle. Too nothing. Fast forward a year, I pulled it out and now I finally get it. This Is Her, Mont Blanc Signature, it's in that category of fragrance and then add violet (I know they say Violet leaf but I get straight violet) and a pinch of plum. This is beautiful. This is much louder now than when I bought it. Definitely a keeper for me. So so glad I didn't declutter it... Cuz it was a gonner a few times.

Qissa Gala is such a beautiful soft, smooth, fluffy white floral fragrance. As it dries down the heart & warm soft base notes are more evident: tuberose, coconut, lily of the valley, and plum along with creamy florals, vanilla, sweet notes, musk, and moss. This scent reminds me of a soft, smooth, well blended Lactea Divina & soft (not spicey) Petra mixed together. Would be great for everyday wear in any setting.

I must be one of the very few that genuinely loves this. I guess a lot of people went into this thinking it would be a gourmand and were disappointed by the strong florals, but for me personally its what I love about it. It reminds me of a more sweetened version of Amarige. 80s/90s white/yellow floral bomb with a modern creamy gourmand twist. Great longevity and silage. I adore this one.

This is such a stunning flormand. You know when a fragrance is crafted so beautifully that all the notes just melt seamlessly into each other? That’s exactly what happens here. I was a bit hesitant at first, since florals can sometimes feel too heavy for me, but not in this case. I ended up loving it far more than I expected. In my opinion, it’s absolutely a must-try.

🟣 Very nice beautiful perfume 💜 🟣 Amazing price, only 17e in Lithuania 🟣 Bottle is unique and beautiful, soft purple color 🟣 For me it smells exactly like "Gucci Bloom", very pleasant floral smell 🟣 Sillage and longevity are good too 🟣 I will buy it again, because I have used entire bottle in 1 month, because I spray a lot 🥰

These negative reviews are wild! I loveeee this fragrance. I’m sooooo over all the viral bakery gourmand fragrances. This is a lovelllyyyy floral perfume. Immediately a win for me right out of the box. So feminine and flirty. The notes remind me just a bit of the yellow Gucci Bloom but less screechy. 🌺

I absolutely love this fragrance. I loved it straight out of the box. It has beautiful soft florals, creamy almond and coconut all being rounded out with the musk and vanilla. To me it has a vintage pressed powder vibe, like what Marilyn Monroe's compact would smell like. In the best way possible.

Gorgeous all year round cozy white flower scent. Harsh opening due to ylang+gardenia combo, but the chaos start to settle after 5minutes and dries down beautifully on skin to a creamy sweet white flower heaven. If you like white flower and sweet scents like me, this is absolutely for you!

Wow. I am deeply impressed. This reminds me of two combined from my collection: Apres l'ondee and Insolence both Guerlain. A beautiful carnation, (I smell carnation, but not listed) violet with a lot of sugar. Just as beautiful and long lasting as Guerlain.

I love this and am on my second bottle! Oddly enough, I didn't like it at first, at all. However, I went back after a while tried and fell in love with it!

This is a very thick, warm and cozy fragrance. Very strong!! For me this is a go to winter fragrance ❤️

This smells like a beginner level floral for anyone that wants to try it. Smells great to me 8.5/10

I bought this after hearing that it was a dupe of Easy Bake from Huda Beauty and never got a chance to try Easy Bake when it was still available. I really like Easy Bake Intense and figured I'd give Qissa Gala a try. It definitely has that powdery white flower DNA present in the Intense version but is much more fruity and sweet in the opening. There is a mossy green pop at the beginning that fades rather fast, which is nice because it is a lot of fruity floral notes all at once and is a bit busy. Once it dries down, it becomes a creamy, warm, and powdery feminine scent that lingers softly. I like Qissa Gala layered with Cherry Crush from Good Chemistry and then either a touch of Eclair from Lattafa or just the tiniest drop of Angel's Share from Kilian. It is an excellent layering scent I don't find this to be an old lady scent but I can see the strong floral notes coming off that way to some. I agree with other reviewers that say if you don't like white florals then go ahead and skip this one. Overall, chances are if you enjoy the Easy Bake Intense you might like this, especially layered with sweet or spicy gourmands.

First spray on paper: I want to love this, but I get this very sour, pickled sweet cucumber scent. Can’t stop smelling it though, it has promise of the florals and most importantly for me, the almond. On skin: the pickles are still there initially, but they quickly fade. The initial vibe is orange blossom water & almond cookies, with that feeling you’re gonna regret eating one, because someone got a bit overenthusiastic at the expense of your tastebuds. Lucky, on my skin, the dry down deepens into a more sweet, musky and dry soapy warmth that is very cosy and quite mature. It smells like Nivea’s older sister. So for now it is a firm “like”, we need to get to know each other better before I can fully commit.

It is nice. A clean, almost soapy fresh white florals. If you’re not fan of white florals that are listed on here, don’t bother. But if you love white florals & want an everyday clean, almost powdery & soapy white florals, that is also fresh & has some elegance to it, you might really like it. It’s new to me so I’ll update later maybe but so far it’s a successful blindbuy. I love these notes tho, so it was fairly safe blindbuy to me, if you don’t like these notes, don’t bother please & save us the “too white floral” negative reviews. Thank you!💕

I loved Easy Bake and was bummed I didn't get a back-up before it was discontinued, so I was pretty excited to see someone finally did an 'inspired by'. I will say it's not identical,but very similar, especially in the drydown. To me, Gala leans more coconut and almond heavy. Still very powdery floral with a touch of the candy sweetness,but the coconut is more dominate than I'd prefer. The initial spray/ first 10 minutes or so are very much 'powdery cosmetics'...the drydown is where the creamy sweetness happens and it's lovely.

Sparkling candied (mostly white) florals. It kinda smells like the metallic purple color of bottle. 🤓 ‘Gala’ is very good right out the box, especially considering this is not at all my usual gourmand scent profile. Without a doubt the best constructed and longest lasting flanker in the line up so far! I got a good 3 hours of real performative wear, when I get no more than an hour with the other Qissas. Miss ‘Gala’ will be an easy grab this spring, I will likely only be wearing this after showers until then. 😇💜
