Eau My Secret

So feminine and beautiful. I love this one. Smells creamy and slightly spicy vanilla. Love the bottle as well. Best $20 perfume.

Eau My Secret was launched in 2016 and is part of the line of Eaux de Toilette by Women’Secret. Its fragrance was inspired by an oriental garden and is, without a doubt, the most sensual of the three launched. Eau My Secret has notes of Italian mandarin, lemon, grapefruit, pear, and blackberry on top; Almonds, rose (Orpur® absolute), jasmine, orange blossom, and white cedar, in the heart; Praline, musk, sandalwood, vanilla, and hawthorn, in the base. On the skin, Eau My Secret comes with a lot of pears and a dash of lemon. But the almonds stand out and gain even more vitality thanks to jasmine and praline, which is at the bottom but exhales from the beginning. The floral bouquet is not exaggerated, but it confers delicacy and sophistication. The note of the rose Orpur® is part of an exclusive collection of natural ingredients of higher quality, patented by Givaudan. Here, it merges with the orange blossom and balances the jasmine content, whose nuances explored were the powdery ones. In fact, it is not a powdery fragrance, but if you smell a piece of fabric that has been in contact with it after 48 hours, you will smell a strong powder scent. Evolution is subtle, but it exists. And with it, Eau My Secret gets a more gourmand base, bringing a creamy and not too sweet vanilla, along with the praline note that, simplistically explained, recalls the smell of roasted almonds with sugar, gaining a caramelized crust. Eau My Secret is a perfume classified as floral-oriental, which does not exhale too much and does not lose the comfortable aspect. Its lasting is good, and the fragrance is not extremely sweet, although the olfactory pyramid can give that impression. However, I felt more prominence on the oriental side than on the floral side. In my opinion, within this trio launched by Women'Secret, it represents the fragrance created to please women who like sweeter perfumes, without losing the concept of daily use proposed by the brand. And from what I could see, it tends to be quite successful among women. Coral is its color and its motto is to be beautiful, comfortable and sexy. In particular, I think it matches with autumn days, which start and end fresh. But it also works for night use, on romantic occasions of more complicity.

July 2022, about six months into my new fragrance collecting hobby: This simple, linear, fresh skin scent reminds me of a slightly more powdery, slightly more lemony version of Clean Reserve Skin. So to me, I see this as a "your skin but better" scent. I like to wear Eau My Secret on its own as a way to feel fresh after a shower and/or before bed. Alternatively, I like to layer EMS with other fragrances when I want to create my own scent accords. March 2023, after trying hundreds of samples, but still a relatively new fraghead: Is it just me, or does this little cheapy smell like something like Xerjoff Lira, and maybe also a bit like Acqua di Parma Vaniglia? I'm not saying they are sisters... more like cousins. But they are from the same family, as it were, to my nose. Unfortunately, I've never sniffed YSL Manifesto, so I cannot comment on that comparison. 🦋🧡🦋

Smells great and lasts very well for the price. This one is a great YSL Manifesto dupe.This is slightly more fresh/light but so close that it's not significant enough of a difference once applied to skin and clothes. I purchased it to have a less expensive backup now that Manifesto is discontinued and prices are rising. I'm happy to have it in my collection. If you want a dupe of Manifesto L'Elixer try Armaf Derby Club House Gold. It's great but needs a bit of time to macerate.

What can i say warm , sweet very almondish scent. When i say almondish imean it. If you do not like nutty notes even dont try it. It is more gourmand than oriental. I do not catch rose. I wish it would be litle bit freshier jucyer or flowery. Too calm for me which means also boring. I love flower fields and eden vibe which is NOT here. It could be even unisex. Yes young guy could smell like almond . Little bit disapointed at the end, even i knew what i buy.
