Plein Fatale

Amazing perfume. It evokes feelings of warmth, sunshine, positivity. You can wear it all year around. It’s soft, slightly tropical. It’s funny that I smell pineapple, but it’s not listed in official notes. Overall this perfume makes me happy and I will definitely buy it again. Love !

I bought a 90ml bottle for $35. A sexy, warm, intoxicating scent. It smells expensive and luxurious. Shelly and quite radiating, smells strong for hours. It's worth the price and the bottle is great. It has a similar vibe to jimmy choo - i want choo, but not as fruity.

I know many people will be sad to know the perfume is really good, I bought it last day... it’s not about the brand it’s about the parfumer , he never disappoints me, I realize lately that I have many of his fragrances without knowing he is the creator behind them

sexy, simple, easy date night fragrance. an easy reach but nothing to write home about..

Someone asked here why some people rated this fragrance badly without having tried it. I attempt to answer this: Phillip Plein is German designer who is more on the luxury side. His style is a mix of The Blondes and Ed Hardy. A lot of rhinestones with Rock influence. Some even may say it's tacky. The designer himself was perceived as - at least here in Germany - a bit harsh and cocky during his TV appearances. Some may say he's not very likable. Hence people may not like to judge his products objectively. ANYWAYS, the bottle does appear tacky and cheap, but in person it's very well made. The bottle cap is plastic, yet feels like aluminium, the glass is pretty weighty. Pleasant surprise. I went into this store a few weeks back and needed a fragrance touch up, so I grabbed this bottle and sprayed, expecting something fruity, floral, kitschy. Yet another surprise! Fresh champagney opening (as the bottle suggests). Probably the currant and bergamot cause this effervescent impression. It smelled well balanced and smooth. The floral notes are not very distinct, you get hints of white flowers, cant's detect Ylang at all. After a few hours it becomes slightly creamy, woody, ambroxan like. It sits on the skin delicately and remains noticeable in close contact. I never thought Plein would create such a well balanced perfume, so I looked up who created this. It's Alberto Morillas! Then I knew this is not a coincidence. This master perfumer has created so many iconic fragrances, including CK One! Now admittingly, this perfume has a mediocre performance. Projection is great at first 30 minutes with the burst of champagne, but after that it stays closer to the skin. Sillage and longevity is als OK. 6 hrs max staying power on skin. On clothes a bit longer. Taking everything into count, it's a very nice cheapey! 30ml for 18€ is an absolute steal for this easy grab to go fragrance. It's refreshing, non offensive and very versatile. If you buy a new bottle ignore the very first two or three spritz, because it does smell sirupy, like honey. This dissipates quickly after a few more spritzs. Ps: To me this has nothing to do with the gourmand Devotion by DG. This here is a fine fruity floral, without being cloyingly sweet. Give this fragrance a chance.
