I have no clue where people get that this scent is the dupe of Ganymede. According to the community’s feedbacks, Gold Oddity should be somehow similar to MAB - Ganymede, EP - Bois Impérial, Kenzo - Homme EDP etc., so did a blind buy.
My impressions:
At drydown there may be a very light resemblance, both are woody/leathery type of scents, but I think it shouldn’t be declared as a dupe. I see and feel no common fragrance notes at all.
And there’s one more thing in the perfumes above, which is missing from Gold Oddity: the Quentin Bisch DNA, the power of the Akigalawood accord.

Interesting piece by the way, no bad at all, but it was a huge disappointment to me, because I expected a budget-friendly Ganymede-like perfume.
Nevermind.

I’ve been using Zara Silver for many years since it’s release, so I’m done with many bottles. Once upon a time, it was a wallet-friendly, four seasons allrounder, that lasted longer than Gucci - Guilty. I was running out of it, so decided to grab a backup bottle in bundle with Silver Summer. Now I am truly disappointed, because the current formula got watered down awfully, no projection, no durability at all.
At least, Silver Summer a little bit compensated my disappointment.
Zara, please be so kind and bring back those lovely cheapies that I used and enjoyed for so many years.
The spirit is really missing from your current batches.

I just received a 7 ml bottle of this timepiece from an old family friend’s heritage, and I’m honoured to give the very first ratings and have the first review of this gem.
To be honest, according to my previous experiences with the products of the Czechoslovakian market, I expected some low quality stuff, imagined a boring grandma scent, something like 4711 Tosca, but Louvre overwrote all my expectations.
It is a sophisticated, very-very refined, aldehydic floral-powdery scent, in the footprints of Chanel No.5. The most surprising thing was it’s intensity: very potent, intensely radiant, and seems lasting forever.
Good old days…
I wonder when it could have been made, because I haven’t found any reliable sources about Louvre’s release date.
Any help would be appreciated!

This one is the very first Bershka scent in my collection. To be honest, they were totally out of interest since I tried them for the first time many years ago.
With the same price tag as Zara perfumes, people obviously expect same (or at least similar) quality, but Zara have much better and interesting pieces for the price, however most of them are cheap dupes of designer scents.

Basically I didn’t want to buy it, because Bershka perfumes I tried have absolutely nothing that would grab my attention, but this one was on sale for 4€, and I thought I have nothing to lose.
As I used to say, at least it would be a great air freshener.

In the days I tested it many times on my skin, and these are my first impressions:
-poor longevity
-weak intensity
-Zara - Gold like fruity (mostly synthetic bergamot and pineapple) notes after spraying out
-Francesca Bianchi - Unspoken Musk type of musk after drydown
-no patchouly at all(?!)

According to my description, everyone can clearly imagine what to expect from 02 Sunset Rascals: not too much (almost nothing).

At least I can say I gave Bershka a chance, but didn’t change my mind: they are worthless.

Sorry, I know may I was harsh, but this is a honest opinion from a positive-minded scent lover.

Don’t let it confuse you!
On the test paper it smells just like Gucci - Guilty Absolute. If you have experienced it’s ‘barn’ smell, you will understand what I’m talking about.

But on the skin…amazing how different it is. After a sharp citrusy opening, this thing turns to a slightly woody creamy stuff, and it also has a kind of salty vibe in the background.
Reminds me of salted-honey roasted cashews, which is one of my favourite snacks.
