***
Testers are original perfumes that are often offered in an outer carton without a label or cellophane. Their purpose is to present the scent to customers and offer them the possibility to smell fragrances before they buy. Each tester contains 100% original perfume liquid, which is identical in composition to the officially packaged perfume. The only difference is that it comes with a box that says ‘tester’, or a 'not for sale' label. In most cases, it doesn’t come with a lid/cap. This explains why the tester versions are generally 20-50% lower than the perfumes in the original packaging.
For me, this fragrance is absolutely unclear, there is no watermelon, no coconut, nothing, just a quiet sweetish water with no character. It's sweet for summer and quiet for winter. However, if we talk about colognes, Hermes is better.
Coconut cookie. I can taste vanilla and coconut. It's a sweet delicacy that I can't imagine a man enjoying, 100% feminine.
And for me, coconut is the first thing that stands out. It has a soft, milky taste. The lasting power is over 4 hours.
I thought that the main note would be coconut, but coconut is in the background here. The main notes are vetiver and cedar, thanks to watermelon and anise, this fragrance becomes feminine and, miraculously, coconut notes periodically appear throughout the entire time. The scent sounds beautiful and expensive, it lasts on my skin for 6-8 hours.
