La Danza delle Libellule

“I don’t really like this? I can’t pin it down and gave it several tries based on the glowing reviews. For one it’s very light (almost a skin scent) and only lasts 4-6 hours. Also the apple is very artificial; it’s more jolly rancher and less apple pie. Unfortunately that apple sticks around for about 3/4 of the wear too. The last 1/4 is a decent caramel vanilla, but I have plenty of those I enjoy more.While they’re not identical, Casablanca is cheaper, has a more natural apple and better projection and longevity.”

“A nice fresh green apple with buttery vanilla base. Very nice, very fresh, not cloying, compliment getter.BUT: on my skin it lasts less than an hour, and this is not acceptable at its price point. I won't repurchase and will stick to my lovely, long lasting combo instead: Qasamat Ebhar by Rasasi + Love Apple roll-on by Al Rehab. 6/10.”

“The apple opening is incredibly fresh and juicy, followed by a vanillaic drydown with hints of cinnamon. A prominently gourmand scent, it lacks a strong base even though both woody and musky notes are listed. I paired it with Je ne sais quoi from Teo Cabanel for a gorgeous, uplifted fall gourmand that lasted longer (5 hours compared to 2 hours without the Cabanel base) and performed better.”
