If you love the smell of Acqua di Gioia in the bottle and on paper, but hate it on your skin (like me!)- definitely give this a try. It fades pretty quickly, but for the price I don’t mind reapplying it throughout the day.
And when someone asks you what you’re wearing, you get to say “Queen of Seduuuuuuction” with a thick accent (well, that’s what I do)

Queen of Seduction was launched in 2016 (I attended the Brazilian event for the fragrance launch) and came to pair with the male version, launched in 2014, called King of Seduction.
The advertising campaign translates the concept, which brings the woman, the yacht, the ocean, the sea breeze and the aura of seduction that can also occur in the daylight.
The fragrance is fruity and floral and features notes of grapefruit, watery accord and raspberry at the top, followed by a sensual heart of jasmine, peony, iris and pink pepper, on a base of cedar, amber and suede, which result in what has been called abroad as “skin accord”.
Queen of Seduction is a delicate and engaging scent, but it is not innovative. At the same time it refreshes, it gives a very nice cleansing aspect. For hot climates like the Brazilian, it’s perfect!
When touches the skin, the raspberry is sour and mixes with the aquatic notes in a pleasant way. When the heart (or body) of the fragrance becomes present, it also reveals a luminous floral, in which the peony is the queen of evolution. Whoever is afraid of perfumes with iris, don’t need to worry, for it is imperceptible here. Finally, when the base notes appear, there is a good nuance of cedar and little presence of suede.
Actually, some reviews tell the truth: this fragrance has similarity to that of Acqua di Gioia, mainly because the floral heart is very similar. In terms of projection and lasting, it is worth mentioning that Queen of Seduction projects well during the first hour and then becomes close to the skin with a medium duration. That is, it is a cheaper option, but requires a heavier finger on the spray or a reapplication in the middle of the day.
The bottle does not have the best materials on the market, but it is cute and deceives on size, because the 80ml bottle seems to have 50ml. Generally speaking, it is a scent that pleases me, because it can be worn every day and is very versatile. The prices also help a lot.
Queen of Seduction has arrived to claim that the King of Seduction is no longer alone. And you can be that Queen, in your daily life, paying little.

Antonio Banderas is really a great choice when it comes to fresh and affordable perfumes. On my right wrist I wear Blue seduction and on my left Queen of seduction, so I am gonna compare and contrast them. Queen of seduction is again great for summer, but it’s more ozonic than aquatic. It reminds me of morning dew. On me the most prominent notes are cedar, grapefruit, watery notes and a very gentle veil of jasmine. When I sniffed it initially, I instantly thought of Perceive dew by Avon and Naturelle by Yves Rocher. Within an hour the grapefruit becomes more prominent. Sillage is moderate and the scent is not very longlasting, but it’s so fresh that I am sure one wouldn’t mind to reapply often. However I prefer Blue seduction… it really smells blue to me.
P.S. Queen of seduction is really similar to Acqua di Gioia.

A quite pleasant composition, soft, good balance of sweet and sour notes. Initially I smell citrus notes, the white flower notes show a bit later. It is polite and would work as an everyday perfume, office and work-friendly. Did not last too long on my skin though – moderate longevity at best, same with sillage. Nice bottle – classic style, tasteful, looks a lot like Elie Saab perfume bottles.

of course this was bound to happen in due time. Interesting bottle bottle, very art deco, which I love, will have to see how the juice holds up since both of the masculine counterparts were quite synthetic/generic and quite weak in silage. One can only hope the Banderas brand does not become a cop-out of watered down versions of promising fragrances from the past…
