Varens Romance Oh ! Istanbul

It's giving clean girl scent although such edgy versions like glossier you for sure not, more like soapy and lightly floral musky clean vibes. I didnt think much of this at first but it was too cheap not to buy. Also I truly don't claim that it is a dupe or anything but it does remind me of narciso rodriguez for her edp bc of the rose and the musk and the patchouli. And slightly even lesser so but it also does remind me of again narciso rodriguez pure musc because of the orange blossom. But the lily of the valley is so there really, slightly aquatic and soapy so much so that you can almost see literal soap bubbles lol. And longevity is great too btw, I think mostly cos of how patchouli and musk anchor the whole thing, so it stays on your clothes for days and maybe like 6-7 hours on your skin. I wanted to give this one a go bc it also feels like a nice slight deviation from the nr her edp which im a super fan of. For sure definitely it has that mature or slightly vintage vibe to it btw so it isn't girly and bubbly or anything but i feel like it still belongs to my perfume rotation. I feel like i would get it again when im finished too.

I love the other fragrances in this series, but this perfume feels like a version of NR-for-her that doesn't suit me at all. I bought it blindly and I'm not happy with it. It seems to be missing a note to soften the scent and make it a little sweeter if needed. It's too sharp for my nose. I like vintage floral scents, but this isn't for me.
