Mediterranean summer companion
I can only agree with the other comments, the scent really reminds of Mediterranean flair. If you close your eyes you can really imagine strolling through the streets of a small Italian town. It reminds me of pizza and wine under olive trees. Vacation, switch off and enjoy other cultures. Dolce Vita!

At my first sample, I could not yet start so much with it, I thought only: "Smells nice and could also like people who are otherwise not so on perfume."
With each wear more liked the fragrance but better and it showed a new side. So first a large filling and after a short time the bottle was allowed to move in.

In the prelude I smell tangy, fruity and slightly green notes. Bergamot makes it fresh, the tart fruity currant supports, fig leaf gives the green twist. You definitely have to like orange blossom here. You can detect them well throughout the course. I don't think it's a very floral perfume though. The notes are all well woven together. I especially love the base. Olive wood really makes it unique. You don't smell that very often in my opinion. Combined with tonka, it becomes a nice woody, warm base.

I really enjoy wearing this scent in warmer temperatures on a day to day basis. He has also been consistently well received at work. Since fragrances start to annoy me especially quickly, but this one always fits. The durability is quite good on my skin, however, he quickly becomes close to the body. For evenings, to go out I would perhaps rather choose a lauerten candidate, but that's a matter of taste.

I also like the bottle well, fits the fragrance. The colors I associate with terracotta tiles, as they are often found in Italy. The lid is processed in a light marble look

Lolita in Wonderland
Lolita, Lira's little sister, invites you to a "non-birthday party" today. In Wonderland, of course, this must be celebrated properly!

The Mad Hatter is already there and rattles the teapot. In it, however, hides today Bellini instead of tea. He's probably had a nibble, judging by his crazy singing.
The March Hare is carrying a cheese and cream cake, larger than himself, liberally garnished with fruity peaches.
Lira has also been busy, baking 100 cupcakes, each more colorful than the last.
The dormouse diligently whips more cream with gaaanz much vanilla sugar.
But where is the Cheshire Cat?! Suddenly a head peeks out of the jasmine bush.... There she is!
Now the party can get started. It just smells heavenly in Wonderland!

But now to the fragrance:
Initially, one perceives clearly Bellini and also the pepper looks briefly around the corner.
Then comes the smell of a rich cheesecake with neat fluffy cream and vanilla sugar. For me, all very rich and yet fruity. You can smell the white peach well in the whole course.

Definitely very gourmandig, you almost want to bite his arm. You definitely have to be in the mood for this. Some days the sweet musk fluff is almost too overwhelming for me.
My first association, by the way, was the smell of scented Diddl-Maus blocks I had as a child. :D

The flacon is already very kitschy. But fits the fragrance in my opinion. The outer box also makes me immediately think of my "Alice in Wonderland" story.

All in all, a beautiful fragrance at a very good price, which may no longer be missing in my collection.

Best drugstore perfume
Simple, beautiful and uncomplicated.
Of course, this is not a "here I am" fragrance, with which you stand out. But sometimes you may not want that either.

Fresh fruit - not squeaky or too sweet. Rounded out nicely by sandalwood and tonka. Nothing flowery.
One smells good without seeming gossamery.
A woman in jeans and T-shirt, not dressed up - but of course beautiful.
For me it was the perfect companion in everyday life, just when you have times no desire to think about what you could wear today. For the big appearance in the evening, there are enough others.

Durability and sillage could be better, but there you notice again that it is not a particularly expensive fragrance. The bottle is also nothing special, but that does not bother me.

It's a shame that it has disappeared from drugstores. Even online you can get the bottles only at extortionate prices.
Unfortunately, I have not yet found a suitable dupe with comparable fragrance impression. Does anyone have an idea? :)

I love her! I don't love her?
Chloé is like a girlfriend to me, but I can't stand her every day. I can't with her, but I can't without her either
I have already emptied two vials. For me, it was always a fragrance that I wore more for going out or on cosy evenings with friends.
The first contact I had with the fragrance was through my sister. I was invited to her house and (secretly) sprayed myself with it in her bathroom. After the visit I went to a party. After a few minutes a friend asked me what smells so good here and we realized that he meant me and therefore Chloé. I felt really good and self-confident with the fragrance that evening and so the first bottle was allowed to move in with me.

I cannot describe the individual fragrances so well. The rose is present for me from the beginning, surrounded by other flowers. I also smell the lychee well out. All in all it seems like a strongly dosed fabric softener, but very feminine and lovely.
I find the durability and sillage strong. I smell it myself for a very long time and I have that with very few perfumes. On clothes it was still clearly perceptible even after several days.
My impression is that many men love the scent. My best friend's husband, for example, always asks me if I put on "that great scent" again when I wear Chloé.
The bottle is also classically beautiful. Clear lines, complemented by the cute bow.

After my last bottle was unfortunately tilted due to incorrect storage, I bought myself a filling. I still like Chloé
But for me, this is not a fragrance for every day. I must really want it. I wore it to work the other day. I found it very penetrating. I couldn't stop smelling it and I felt it was getting on everybody's nerves. I almost felt sick

Consciously used, however, the Chloé can definitely score points.... Maybe one day a bottle will be allowed to move in again. :)

The thing with the Dupes....
...just not my thing

Last year, in the middle of summer, I found that my large Acqua di Gioia bottle was almost empty.
Actually I would have liked to buy a new bottle, but somehow I didn't want to spend so much money at that moment. So I searched the internet for suitable dupes. In several articles Aqua Bella was advertised as 1:1 copy. So it was ordered without further ado. For the price you can't do much wrong.

Immediately after spraying on it smells beautifully fresh and aquatic.... Unfortunately, it changes quite quickly into a lemon cleaner smell on my skin. And I think few people want to smell like a bathroom. :( This note then also holds and becomes first pungent and later musty for me in the development. The base note unfortunately doesn't really come out with me, no trace of brown sugar. Also the cedar wood hides from me.
Smells to me like I sprayed the original... But a tilted version.
At least that's how the development is on my skin.
The durability is not very high. I perceive it at most two to three hours.

The bottle is kept quite simple and does not look very high quality. But I don't expect that from La Rive either.

I wanted to like him, but I prefer to go for the original.
But for the low price it is not necessarily a bad scent for the small purse that will find its lovers....In the other comments I have already noticed that many people like it. :) Perfume is just very objective.
I'll probably still spray him at work every summer. A lemon refreshment is sometimes not bad

But I'm still looking for an aquata for the summer. Maybe someone else has a completely different recommendation?
