Ignorabilis

Negative reviews are never fun to write, but I hope you'll bear with me - especially if this fragrance works great for you, then I don't want to have said anything :)
For me, this is a boring sweet floral fragrance in an unfortunately cheap looking bottle. I like playful bottles, but this one looks to me more like it was designed for a 13 year old. But you have to let him one thing: the bottle fits well to the content.
The fragrance itself is on me only a sweet mixture, in which I unfortunately recognize no "play" ... playful is not much about it. Overall too sweet, the notes blur haphazardly into each other and everything seems somehow too heavy despite the rather lean performance. Development I can not detect much in this fragrance, because it is so quickly already so weak that you have to press the nose firmly to the wrist.
This one moves on ...

This fragrance smells like it looks: Pretty, rosy, understated and friendly. It's a really nice scent, but it doesn't stand out in any way. I love the scent of peonies, so I was already expecting to like this scent. The rose tends to take a back seat, which I appreciate though.
Unfortunately, the fragrance does not last long and is also not particularly noticed in my environment. After repeated testing and a renewed look at the notes, I must also say that this one is very similar to another fragrance in my collection in the mood: Jimmy Choo L'Eau. And in a direct comparison, the Jimmy Choo wins for me, because - besides being better value for money - it's more perceived after all and comes across more good-humored, if a bit less elegant. But that only incidentally.
Nonetheless, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet is a beautiful fragrance, which one quickly takes into his heart, which lifts the mood and which becomes just in the small quite big.

This morning I stood perplexed in front of my perfume collection and thought, "Maybe a good time to try the Parfumo Assistant for the first time!" No sooner said than done... So for a spring morning, I'm recommended: DKNY Be Delicious. Mm, ok. I had to look that one up first.
Be Delicious is a pleasant, refreshing scent. I smell mostly apple, cucumber and the woods in the base. A linear, uncomplicated fragrance that there is not much to say about. Also, because he says goodbye again quite quickly anyway.
So what is it about this fragrance? Above all, one thing: memories.
Be Delicious is the classic "Reminds me of..." fragrance, to which probably everyone has his own story. Back in the day, my father and I had picked out this fragrance together and given it to my mother for her birthday. In my school days, this was one of her favorite perfumes until it passed to me in middle school. Be Delicious smells to me like summer vacations, aimless drugstore visits with girlfriends, family outings, and so much more.
Today, I don't want to wear it anymore. Maybe also because it is already so full of memories that no new ones stick to it. But I still keep it - as a small 2000s time capsule.

First I want to apologize to everyone who loves Cloud. I know how emotional one can get when a negative review pops up about a beloved perfume. So I’m already sorry for the following review.

I bought a 7,5ml sample of this and have forced myself to wear this all in all for more than seven days now (and still have a lot of it left). I really gave it a try and I wanted to love this so so much.

The opening is bizarre. I get the lavender, pear and something sweet but for me they don’t blend. It’s like every single note tries to stand out on its own so they all seem to be competing with each other instead of blending together. It’s pure chaos.
In the dry down the musk becomes more and more prominent – and with the musk I notice a heavy plasticy smell. I mean really heavy!

The first days I tried this I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. I didn’t get it and just sat there asking myself „Is this really the perfume everyone is raving about?“. It was so weird that I couldn’t even hate it. I just wore it for hours trying to like it until I scratched it off again when the plastic smell got to heavy.

To me Cloud by Ariana Grande is a teenage girl, constantly nagging and being overdramatic about the smallest things. She's trying so hard to act like a sophisticated and sexy grown up with her sticky 1$-lipgloss while actually being so indecisive.

But then she holds so much power and stubbornness! She doesn’t know what she wants but she wants it all. This perfume stays on me forever. I mean forever! I sprayed it on my wrist once and 20h later I could still smell it.

Some days it can be quite fun wearing it because it smells so weird. But I would never consider wearing it for days I want to smell good.

I have never smelled BR540 so I can’t say anything about their similarity. I’m talking here about Cloud as Cloud and not Cloud as a BR540 dupe. Since some stated in the reviews though that BR540 smells less plasticy, I can just guess that it would be a more authentic grown-up version of this.

Maybe this perfume just doesn’t work with my skin chemistry at all. It could be that for others it works well. So I’ll just leave with saying: This is the absolute opposite of a safe blind buy :)

I'm a woman but I got a sample of it so I just tried two sprays on my wrist.
Some memory hit me really hard when I first smelled this. I can't remember the person who smelled like this (also can't believe this was released in 2018, I feel like I have known this scent for ages!) but it made me feel happy and secure instantly. Also it's so sexy?

Honestly I just couldn't stop sniffing on my wrist so my nose went anosmic already after a minute. Now I just get slight whiffs of it and it smells so so good.

I'm gonna get my SO a bottle of this as soon as possible!
