Taskeen Wowie

Had this sitting for about 5 weeks and decided to wear this yesterday and this is what I’ll note. The projection is very strong for the first 2.5-3 hours then it becomes intimate. I’d say it stays modest for about 6 hours and after that point it’s a skin scent. I think this will improve the longer I have it but I’ll follow up in a few months. The scent its self is a creamy spicy orange, vanilla creation that kinda reminds you of an adult version of those Flintstones push pops we used to get from the ice cream truck as kids. Very nostalgic smell and I adore it. Can’t wait to see if this extends wear time because if it truly becomes beast mode, this will be one of my favorites. I think it’s not a safe blind buy some people are going to be very thrown off with how foodie this smells so keep that in mind I would say sample it first before you make any moves into buying it .This is a great addition to my collection because I have nothing like it and in the days of everyone having a delina DNA or an angel share DNA or a marshmallow blush DNA I’m glad that someone is branching out to give us something a little bit different.

This is a top 5 favorite scent of all times for me. It smells like a continental breakfast on a cold Christmas morning. Unique. I’m a citrus marshmallow girl (think Hufflepuff), so when I wear this, I feel very grown up because I’ve removed the fluffiness and added spice. The butter here is addictive. Butter done right. I’ve had mine for about 5 wks now. Stays 12+ hours on my clothes & booms the entire time. I have a 5ml spray of the other. The other opens w/ more of a sour orange juice (think the oj has gone bad) and settles way more buttery/bready with an orange essence in the background. This one is a bright fresh OJ, and the creaminess & butteriness pop up after and stay (the OJ remains prominent). I love the other better in the beginning, but this one wins the dry down and longevity test. As an aldehyde hater, I don’t detect them in Wowie. I can smell the difference between the 2–Wowie is brighter. So, by no means exact. Related vibes. Wowie is orange creamsicle halfway dipped in butter. The other is a medium brown buttery orange marmalade danish, then somebody quickly ate the orange part.

I love this so much Im so delighted I gave it a chance. From the reviews I was expecting a toilet cleaner harsh smell but it is so soft and smooth and blended. Its not even a harsh citrus as a person who is not the biggest citrus fan, this orange is such a gentle and non acidic orange, yet realistic and not synthetic. It is like a really reduced marmalade and pastry scent and it is probably one of the most flattering gourmand scents I have ever come across. Its not a sickening sweet cupcake cookie scent (which I am also here for) but that is what makes it gorgeous and grown up, a French bakery vibe. Its not spicy to me in a spicy middle eastern way or Christmas cookie way, the spice is not at the forefront but really like if you were adding a bit of nutmeg to your pastry, it grounds it. I'm obsessed from opening to drydown. 10/10...I just layered this with Cream Velvet and I am almost passing out how perfect it goes..absolutely gorgeous!

It smells like a tart citrus caramel, sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't like it. It is just a weird combination that works, but sometimes it's too weird. I compared with Roja and mine opened more citrus and Roja slightly more caramel, the dry down of wowie is a bit smoother and Roja you literally smell a caramel with a Clementine in the back, knowing middle Eastern fragrances, I bet it will macerate to be very similar. I believe influencers might get a macerated version and it is a lot more similar. I will update in a few weeks. Update 2 ww: I'm starting to get the name "lost in Paris" now, it is maturing very well, and showing up with the very creamy dry down. Update 3 after 3 months: It is now so good! Give it time to macerate! It smells like an orange freshly baked pie.

I’ve been here before with a worse opening at first sniff with Bryan Al Asrar (Guidance Dupe). I almost threw it out because it was so bad. Instead I reboxed it and threw it in my closet for 6 months. I then got it out to give it away and I sprayed it again and Dammmmm !!! It was so different , 92% on skin and 98 in the air. Just know the depth is on skin is not comparable to guidance but it’s so close I switch it out to save my bottle of guidance 46 and I can’t tell the difference To My Nose. I have smelled LIP and this is miles from that but I still smell the connection. So again I’ll give it a few months and look forward to a surprise

Fun & uplifting. A photorealistic image of a mandarin appears on your face within the first few seconds of opening it. It’s unfair to expect a 15-dollar fragrance to be a perfect match for a 1,300-dollar niche fragrance. That said, my decision to buy it is for my own enjoyment rather than to receive compliments from others. That laconic touch, which for some may clash with the citrus notes, is what sets it apart from the mass of citrus clones that come out every week. It has an unusual quality: in cold weather it gives you a warmth like rays of sunshine, and in hot weather it’s refreshing.

Wore this today in 38C heat - had to run errands and for several hours was outside, sweating and this held up! Honestly I am so impressed! I’ve put it on around 9 in the morning and even though it’s not beast mode I could smell it on me all day and now it’s 7 pm and I can still smell it on my clothes and skin. Considering that it’s too hot outside it’s not easy to pick out specific notes - but under the circumstances it smells like fresh, sweet tangerine juice but it’s not cloying or juvenile.

After this fragrance sat for a few weeks, It became a pure compliment magnet. I genuinely don't know how to describe this fragrance because it is so well blended. If anything, it reminds me of a perfume version of an "orangy" cinnamon crescent roll. I know that sounds weird but IT WORKS. Every time I have worn it, multiple people have complimented me and asked what I was wearing. As a man, I don't like the name or the bottle design, but the fragrance is simply amazing.

Such a unique fragrance! Wowie definitely smells niche, regardles of whether she was inspired by Lost in Paris, or not. She smells creamy and orange and like a fancy almond breakfast pastry. The juice does need time to sit though... or at least my bottle did (sometimes I wonder about these 1st impressions I watch on YT). Spray her out. Let her bloom for at least five days... and then indulge. Wowie is delightful. 10/10!

@dcoleman.1 It’s very obvious, by your review, that you judged this fragrance on the initial first spray (since you were going to return it in “seconds”). It opens with a gorgeous burst of orange. Shortly thereafter, the cinnamon comes through... then a bit of rum, and the tonka bean. Unlike MOST of the reviews below me, I wore this for a few full days. I believe it will only get better as it macerates. Love this one.

This perfume is one of if not my absolute favorite out of my 200 plus perfume collection. Smelling this perfume makes me so happy, I would even go so far as to say euphoric! There's so many elements to it, so beautiful and so well blended and I honestly feel like I can wear this all year round! It smells like the most delicious and warming cup of hot fruit tea with spices! Just amazing 😍

It is very similar to Lost in Paris. I'd say it is a simplified version of it which I like here. The opening is definitely less sophisticated, less complex, less sweet but the dry down is surprisingly similar. It is not scratchy or too artificial. It doesn't last long on me - maybe 2-3 hrs. Still a very decent dupe for a fraction of the price.

Taskeen Wowie Is gorgeous it’s a citrus spicy gourmand it’s beautiful the caramel, butter and tonka bean with that juicy orange liquor opening this is very unique it’s like a orange creamy cake with caramel and spice. Wowie is strong too the projection is pretty good! Finally a Lost In Paris Inspired fragrance

Don't let the naysayers fool you, this is absolutely gorgeous. Just pull the trigger on it and you won't regret. I blind-bought my bottle after many of the key influencers I respect glazed it - and they were right. Already eyeing a back-up bottle. Such a beautiful and rich scent - I cannot get enough.

a boozier take on portokalopita (greek dessert), with a touch of cinnamon very addictive, very complex I believe this could be worn in any season, although due to the cinnamon’s spiciness and caramel’s sweetness I would say it’s a better fit for autumn/spring an amazing scent that lasts. all. day!!!

Yeah...I actually love this, despite other's opinions! I love the unique citrus, cinnamon, butter combo! I find it addictive and super distinctive from any other citrus forward scent! This is not based at all on the comparison, because I clearly have never smelled this coveted $1K+ fragrance..haha!

Wow, just wow, this is the first Summer Gourmand I've found that doesn't give me a headache. Words can't describe how good this smells. The best way I can describe it is that you're walking down a baking store and they just cooked some inviting orange that you just have to try.

Just bought and tested. Smells synthetic in the beginning but gets better as it dries down. Strong projection and good longevity. At the moment I will let it macerate hoping it starts smelling more natural and blended. At the moment it is unbalanced.

I don't have any fragrance like this. I received it today and it's an instant love for me. It's a dreamy orange cream perfume and transitions to an orange cookie. It's an all year fragrance. I expect it to perform better as time goes.

Love, love, LOVE! A sweet and yummy scent that isn’t nauseating. I find that I wear it to bed after an everything shower. I usually pair wowie with Super milk products from lush. I think it’s comforting and wearable for most ages.
