  Good but not a favorite

  I bought this without having smelled it first, simply because it contains blackcurrant buds (cassis) – a note I love and often buy perfumes based on. Additionally, I saw that it had jasmine and vanilla, which I also like in other perfumes, like Chloé Nomade with jasmine. Therefore, I actually expected this to be a home run for me. At the very beginning, I find it a bit cloying because the jasmine and vanilla are very dominant. The blackcurrant feeling gets a bit drowned out in the first few minutes, and the top note can be perceived as a bit overwhelming and intense. As the perfume settles in over the evening, it gets much better. The heavy, sweet, and floral character comes out more, in a way I like much better. Then it becomes more harmonious, and what bothered me at the start subsides. I generally love heavy perfumes, so I appreciate how this one develops – even though the top note isn’t quite for me. If I compare it to Chloé Nomade with jasmine, I think Nomade is better balanced. Burberry’s vanilla also seems more well-balanced than this. For me, Eternity for Women feels a bit more uneven in the experience. I will see if it grows on me, so I wouldn’t say it was a total miss either. ✔️ Pros • Delicious and heavy floral and vanilla notes when it settles • Good sweetness and warmth, especially in the drydown • Nice to wear out in the city – it holds well and gets better over time • Blackcurrant buds give a nice, subtle fruitiness ❌ Cons • The top note is cloying and very intense for me • The blackcurrant note gets a bit drowned out at the start • Somewhat unbalanced between top and base • Not a blind-buy favorite ⭐ Conclusion: 3/5 A good, heavy, and sweet perfume that really blooms after a while – but the somewhat strong and cloying start means it doesn’t quite hit the mark. I will use it, especially in the evening, but it won’t be a regular. Perfect for you if you like heavy, floral perfumes with a lot of jasmine and vanilla, but maybe not a safe blind buy.
