Red Temptation Summer

I didn’t love this when I first smelled it cause I have red temptation but for some reason expected it to smell like a version of the original. After sitting with it for a day, it started growing on me when I stopped trying to pick out the BR540 notes cause they’re not there. I had sprayed it on the box and left the box on my nightstand. While I was in bed reading, I kept getting wafts of the scent and it smelled so good! The sweetness of the praline really shines this way and the rose comes out too. The scent changes as you wear it and I now love it so much. I’m not normally a fan of peonies or rose scents but I can say this one is really good! I love adding new scents to my collection that help me branch out to things I’m not used to. I highly recommend this! Edit: After a month of wearing this scent it has become one of my all time favourites! I layer this with RT elixir and it’s so addicting. I get so many compliments on my perfume everyday. I’m team oversprayer with this one and it lasts the whole day and is so forgiving. I’ve now purchased 4 backup bottles!

I wanted to try this one as soon as I saw it in stores since I have been impressed by the Red Temptation line at Zara. I have the OG Red Temptation and the Winter version of it as well. This new flanker does not have any resemblance to the OG Red Temptation fragrance. This one is softer, airy, romantic, floral with a bit of tartness in the opening. It really reminds me of Ex Nihilo’s Lust in Paradise and Fleur Narcotique. It’s really a wonderful surprise and I am loving it. The only downside is that it only lasts 4-5 hours on my skin and projection is only good the first hour then it becomes a skin scent. I would recommend it nevertheless since the price point is unbeatable for this kind of DNA. Run and try it on your skin!

An incredibly floral, fruity, romantic and soft scent that leans feminine and is perfect for everyday wear during the warmer months. The fragrance opens with a blend of sweet and juicy litchi and raspberry. The moss note is faint, but it’s not an earthy, natural, bitter, and dark forest kind of moss, but more reminiscent of fresh dew covered moss on a warm spring morning. On the dry down, it evolves into a powdery peony dominated fragrance with hints of a young rose and warm, laconic, caramelized sugar. It didn’t project much on my skin, but I had a lovely scent bubble once I sprayed it on my clothes. It lasted about 6 hours on skin and 12 on clothing.

One of my most complimented scents! I was waiting for the elevator when a girl standing next to me said, "You smell very nice!" From that, I realized it projects at least two feet away. Even though it's called Red Temptation Summer, I don’t smell Red Temptation (the original) at all. I get notes of lychee, rose, and something ozonic (may be the 'fresh' accord?)—especially lychee. It’s not a complex scent and stays linear on me (I only tried it on clothes, not on skin). The longevity was 8+ hours on clothes. A sweet, fruity smell—perfect for summer.

In short, this fragrance went from total neutrality to a signature scent. At first sniff I almost passed on it. I guess that was because I expected something like the original red temptation. After a month of not wearing this, I gave it a last chance and I realised this is so easy to wear. It is beautiful, youthful but not cheap, classic. Easily a signature scent, I hope this never gets discontinued. Longetivity and sillage are medium, but I don't mind, I don't get migraines from this. Doesn't remind me to burberry her at all.
