My favorite fragrance

The scent is named after the song "Forever" off Mariah's chart-topping album "Daydream" (1995). It's the third scent of the precious Mariah Carey collection and by far my favorite fragrance. It stands out because it's the only scent with a different bottle so far. Designed after the vintage bottles Mariah likes to collect herself, the scent excited me right away. "Forever" has my favorite flowers - gardenia and tuberose - in it mixed with delicious green apple. It is soft, gently, fruity and perfect for sunny days as well as cozy evenings at home. I smell the green apple very prominently with an aquatic touch from the lotus. The scent stays very long on my skin by applying few sprays, so that's a big plus. Of course I'm a fan of Mariah, but you can definetely see not all of her scents appeal to me, but "Forever" - just like the name suggets - seems to stay forever. A wonderful white floral with fruity sweet nuances and a creamy base that gets an A+ as well as the privilege to stay in my collection forever as my signature scent.

Apple and white florals

At first sniff I could have sworn I'd smelt this before. Not surprising that this isn't unique, but it's pleasant none-the-less.

The apple note is quite dominant in the opening, giving Forever a rather fresh and vibrant quality. The tuberose and gardenia are present in this fragrance, however they do not steal the limelight, they prefer to linger softly in the background.

Perhaps I find Forever similar to the DKNY Be Delicious series. It's twin would have to be a fresh, rather potent fragrance dominated by juicy apple.

Must admit that the bottle in real-life is not dainty and pretty, rather it is quite bulky and if you happened to purchase the 100ml, it would most likely be the biggest bottle in your collection. The bottle design is in one word; odd.

Overall this is a nice, youthful and refreshing fragrance that has great lasting strength and quite a powerful trail of scent. I recommend to apple lovers.
