Fragrance Reviews by charlielu

This is an incredible piece of art... If I may put it that way.

I bought this blind after reading over the reviews and posts on the forums regarding this fragrance, I have to say, that was probably the best decesion I've ever made.

The opening is about 80% fruity+cucumber and 20% earthy and aquatic.

Throughout the duration, the ratio changes moves progressively towards the earthy aquatic side and settles into a delightful drydown.

Longetivety is great at about 6 hours and the sillage is also outstanding.

The only minor complaint I might have is that you might smell a bit of a synthetic/artificial note after you've had it on for a while.

Apart from that, I would say this is currently my favourite out of my collection.

Out of my collection of 17 perfumes, this would be dead last. The first time I smelt this perfume after a blind buy, I had to take it to a local perfume shop to get it checked if it was authentic.

To me it smelt highly synthetic, like a mix of lemon and burnt plastic. There was no progression to speak of, the whole time I smelt lemon and plastic.

Not worth the hype and rave reviews.

After using this, I've found the AdG I usually use to be too sour and boring compared to Bvlgari Aqva.

With AdG you tend to get tired of that strong tangy citrus note but with the Aqva there is a faint mysterious note that is not annoying.
