Sunny happy people!

What an underrated gem is hidden behind
all these new bombs and generic perfumes...
This is indeed a little treasure!!
The orange blossoms with the honeysuckle in the
opening are so warm and so fresh and I think that have to do with the wonderful light notes of Lily of the valley.
It is a light Spring perfume, not heavy at all and I just tested it under a mans nose to see his reaction and he really liked it!!
Don't expect a bomb here and I keep on saying this because it comes from an other era and you may be disappointed if you love bombastic, incense, heavy hitters.
Trying to find something similar but nothing comes to mind maybe a very light summer edition of Classique by JPG with honeysuckle
and Lily of the valley for the freshness.
Not so aquatic.
I think if you can find this perfume you will love it As I do.
Another discontinued great one as always...

So...
I had in my mind this perfume since sometime...
I'm a "All about greens" and vintage lover and I wanted one day to try it.
I bought it blind an 100ml tester brand new straight ahead.

The bottle came and the perfume is very good for all the "green perfumes" lovers.
It is very refreshing, it is like a tonic lime drink, very clean and safe.
I expected something very strong and maybe more verbena style but beware this is a soft perfume.
The longevity is not good unfortunately... :((
You have to re-apply even if you add 8 spritzes of it.
They won't last more than 3,5 hours on your clothes.
On me it lasts a about1 hour max.
So if you really want to get to Donna's Karan Verbena world buy a big bottle.
It is great for sports and gym.

Crush heart...

Let me start by saying that this perfume is not the kind of celebrity/fruity and most of not girly one.
This is a perfume for WOMEN and not for TEENS for 2019.

It smells luxury and soft-not in your face.
It is elegant and I can use it everyday and every hour because of the airy sweetness that it has.
The bottle and the colour of the perfume are really great for what I just written above.

Serious I don't think this is a Happy wOw girly bomb so that's why it is so underrated IMO from all the teen world.
They expected something as usual but this is not for a 12-20 yo.

Don't expect an Ysatis or a Caleche one.
It is a simple perfume.
This is close somehow to Gabrielle by Channel but without all these flowers.
A serious one for office, night out, gala and just for your pleasure.

The longevity is very good even if you can't smell it on you believe me the others can.
Don't bath in it.

At the moment I'm having a Crush with this one.
Well done Rihanna!!

*This is a review for the Giordani Gold Original as seen in the pic and tittle of the page.

I was given this perfume as a gift last year.
I like white flowers and while I was not a fan of tuberose I
realised that now I am.
This is a very clean and sophisticated perfume.
The opening is strong citruses and white flowers and after 10 minutes
it calms down to a sheer musky tuberosy seductive perfume.
The longevity is very good and I can imagine this wearing it in a summer night around a table with 2 glasses of white sparkling wine.
This perfume is not for the ages of 20's-30's maybe after 30's.
It is very elegant and I also enjoy wearing it at winter time that it is a softly cold perfume.

*I haven't tried Giordani Gold but as I see is a new formulation but however I do not understand why they keep selling both versions.

*In the new version of Giordani Gold Original there is also tuberoses in it.

I got this perfume from a swap and I'm very happy!!The bottle is amazing and the perfume is a light floral woody one that can use for everyday even in work.
The dry down has a light vibe of the vintage Anais Anais by Cacharel.
