Its a beauty with a peach opening the way

I was gifted this perfume by a kind soul who knows how much I love gourmands. This perfume is a winter/stronger version of the opening of By Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy, Reminisce Guimauve, and/or DSH Guimauve de Soie, which is to say that it’s warm sunny marshmallows. I absolutely love it.

I Agree, This Does Smell A Lot Like by Kilian’s Love Don’t Be Shy. But, lighter, less sweet and a bit more refined!! A Very Good Fragrance!!

Sickly candy sweet. Grape soda and smarties. I would imagine Nabokov’s Lolita wearing this perfume, gifted to her by her pedophile step father. Otherwise, it gives me a vibe of an older rich woman who is trying to appear younger. I apparently have a sample of the sweeter new reformulation. The tiniest dab goes a LONG way. Great sillage and longevity, WAY too sweet.

I stumbled upon this beauty in Selfridges whilst on the hunt for a Spring/Summer fragrance. When the sales assistant sprayed this on a card I immediately noticed something familiar about it but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. It just occurred to me 8 hours later that on the dry down it smells just like Armani Code/Armani Code Turquoise. I can detect tuberose and ginger despite these notes not being listed. It’s a gorgeous, warm floral that is very sophisticated and smells like money (and Armani Code!).

I so agree with Alasse. Very sad personally with the reformulation. I think I can get my hands on the original-of course the SA’s didn’t mention anything about any discounts. Lilac has also been reformulated fyi and is very different, very spicy. I was told Nuwa was reformulated as well. Creation S smells the same to me. I didn’t notice any bottle changes which I’m used to seeing with reformulated perfumes so buyer beware.

Pre-formulation Roja Reckless parfum is quite an impressive creation. It smells a bit like the older cousin of Fleur de Chine by TF (and – coincidentally – what I hoped Chanel nr. 5 would smell like) with one important difference:
You can’t play pretend when wearing this one, you need to meet the perfume(r)s’ expectations or you will be revealed as a fraud 🙂
Though maybe a bit overdramatic, that is the general sense Roja Dove perfumes give me – they’re serious business = uncompromising. This must have been what Roja meant with: “If most people are trying to find a scent for their ego, I’m trying to make a scent for your id.” Sadly, this one is not “me” however much I wish it were.

So, decided to go to F&M today in London and popped up to the perfumery department for a scout round and saw they have a lot of RD frags. Dithering around I tried this and I love it. Sweet with J&J baby lotion/Turkish delight/floral/woody notes which I do realise sounds rather strange but it’s really gorgeous. I am not sure it’s worth the £395 price tag but it is beautifully blended, really compelling and so far I can’t stop taking in deep breaths of this concoction. I didn’t buy it but one day I might if I ever have that kind of money to spare (unlikely).
