When I received the perfume I didn’t know it was supposed to be pricey and classy. My first thought was ‘my, what an ugly bottle, and the smell to go with’. Much as I try I cannot shake that first impression and by the perfume’s resounding non-success I can see I’m not the only one. Underneath the lovely, spiky dirty-sock smell I do detect some freesia though, for all the 5 minutes it lasts on my skin and the rest of 6 hours on my clothes. I should have prohibited him buying me perfumes after gifting bubbly me with JPG Classique X. Nice, but not my cup of tea either.

I like Kenzo Amour too, but if it’s much sweeter than that I might not like it either.

Sometimes I am stubborn, and try a scent again, although I didn’t like it at the first sniff. My opinion stays the same with this second sniff. It reminds me also a little bit of Kenzo Amour (which I love), but this one is much sweeter (on my skin) and there is something in it, that disturbs me.

So true. I expected something completely else. Maybe the sweet scent comes from the pear. First I smelled it at a paper strip, very sweet, but on skin it can smell otherwise. Unfortunately it didn’t. Lasting power on my skin was not very long, max. one hour. That was good for me……

Oh, what a disconnect with the bottle!

Myabi woman smells like bubble gum to me.

Almost everything turns out to have at least some citrus in the top notes though!

If only the one for women had more citrus top notes, It might be love at first sniff. Right now, it is very similar to Jlo’s Live Lux, which I like but I seldom wear it, because it smells too much like the other fruitys. I’m surprised I don’t draw flies with it.

That’s so funny …. in my mind they DID come with those tiles! I’d attached them mentally.
