Resinous and lovely
It starts with a soon to fade blast of citrus and roses with a creamy undertone. You would also get some greenness from petitgrain. It has a creamy and powdery vibe, which becomes more prominent as the first phase passes. There is also a resiny and ambery vibe available that would warm your nose, which I guess is from Opoponox and Labdanum. These notes with the addition of vanilla would also give it some sweetness which is under control and is not bothersome. After the passing of the middle part, you would lose the rose (or at least, it's like this on my skin). And what is left is a resinous and somewhat sweet scent till the end. This fragrance is pleasant, beautiful, and long-lasting.
Final Verdict:
Do you want a sort of unique for the cold weather?
Do you want a resinous scent with some controlled sweetness and a floral vibe which accompanies it till mid?
Then test this one and be the judge of its scent for yourself. I love it, so you might as well.

fresh roses for you
It starts with a blast of citrusy freshness with the company of roses. It can be very alluring for those who would love to smell roses a lot. It mellows out to something more powdery, and that citrusy freshness kind of fades out. That floral vibe is present throughout its life.
Final verdict:
If you like fresh floral scents with mellow sweetness, you should try this one for sure. It's a simple scent but well-made and of good quality.
The longevity is on the average side, which is fine for a fresh scent and, I can't be the judge of projection as always from testing from a sample.
P.s: As I always say, test it yourself and be the judge from your own experience without being stuck in the hype train.

Fresh / Citrusy / Green
It starts with a blast of citrus, mainly lemon, and it has a bit of a soapy vibe with it too, which I think is because of the combo of citrus with vetiver. You might also vaguely get an old-school fragrance vibe from it. Lubin initially launched it in 1955 with the design of great Henry Giboulet. Then in 2009, with the help of talented perfumer Thomas Fontaine, it got reformulated and re-released. It's not dense nor heavy at all. What you would get is fresh, citrusy, and green. The scent is uplifting, and Although it is a women's fragrance, I think it is unisex all the way.
Final verdict:
If you look for something with these characteristics, then go and give it a shot. The longevity is on the average side, considering the scent profile it has. And again, I can't give my opinion on the projection just from testing from a sample.
p.s: As I always say, it is better to test fragrances yourself, and you be the judge of it.

Retro bottle / Teenagerly juice
The bottle design is retro and somewhat cute. I feel the NFC tag on top doesn't make it more interesting.
The scent starts with a scrambled mess of synthetic and citruses. As it takes time to evolve, it begins to settle for better. While the synthetic facet is still there, the scent becomes more fruity with the addition of a little bit of creamy and soapiness. It's sweet but not so much and not sickly at all. Besides, you would get a little bit of a gourmand vibe from it.
Final verdict: it doesn't add anything new to this style which is sweet and synthetic. It's somewhat a mess throughout its lifetime(more at the beginning, less as time goes by). The performance isn't groundbreaking and is okay. I'm kind of disappointed at the level of creativity seen here by these talented perfumers. If you dig the bottle design, check the scent too. It can be appealing to teenagers, Period.

Spicy/ Floral/ Awesome
It starts with a combo of spices and flowers (cardamom, cinnamon, and rose ). It can be a punch of orientals to your nose if you smell it closely at first. As time goes by, its floral vibe subsides and what would be left is spices which remind me of sour cherry(a combination of cinnamon and Tonka beans) with a little bit of creaminess from sandalwood. As it heads to dry-down, you would get a little bit of a woody and earthy vibe, as patchouli would be a bit more prominent.
The performance is good longevity-vise, but I can't make assumptions based on the test from a sample.
My final Verdict: An Awesome spicy-Oriental fragrance with floral and woody nuances. Don't forget to test it on your skin, let it evolve, and always trust your nose because you are the best judge of the scent.
