Sugar galore
Naughty boys are Stefano and Domenico... this is the exact clone of a very popular number dating 80/90s. NO doubt about it - it has an already done vibe.
I am absolutely sure of this because as a teenager I used to come across it - in those days, one would often smell it around. It's annoying that so long has gone by that now I cannot recall which one! Could be Loulou by Chacharel, or Tresor Lancome. Maybe Dune. And yes, it does remind vaguely of Black Opium, which I knew was a clone as well of this pesky fragrance I cannot recall name of.
In any case, down to the notes: a blast of over sugary floral vanilla. It's like if a bomb had gone off in a patisserie laboratory. Not a terrible thing per se', given the many gourmanders around, but here they took sweet and powdery onto another level.
Don't get me wrong: I don't hate all the sugar/fruity bombs out there - my signature is Angel, and I love Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming which is rather sugary ;) - but there's a line to be drawn between sweet and sickeningly sweet.
This is way, way, WAY too sweet. All one can detect is (among tons of sugar!!!!!) vanilla, iris, and maybe a weak echo of rose. It is nothing groundbreaking.
Frankly, smelling like a walking sugar bowl is not my idea of sexy - a tad sugary yes, but this is just sickening sweet. It reminds of cheapies bought at the drugstore, those for "just about teenage approaching fragrances", containing very synthetic ingredients. For example, I think l' Extase by Nina Ricci would be a better, sexier and sophisticated option to get you that sweet kick without leaving you smell as if you washed in sugar. My two cents, of course!
It made me sneeze uncontrollably for 5 good minutes, which has never happened before with any other scent. In my whole life (!). Please, if you care about other people do not, for the love of life, wear it in offices or at dinners. This could work for the police forces as a crowd breaker. Most definitely a club or party scent, to be wore at night and away from food.
If only coffee WAS detectable, it could have maybe worked out better. Citruses as well are mute. This is just powder, sugar, and more powder, and sugar, layer after layer until a faint - and dizzy at this point - feeble floral note attempts to make its appearance.
But it gets killed immediately. In fact, killing me softly would be a good jingle for an ad on this one!
Perhaps, this is perfect as bed time fragrance, or revenge dinners :P
