    Fragrant

    I don't agree with the description "disco" that the producer of this perfume uses, but I could go along with calling it shimmering, glittering, and "after sunset". Maybe it's because I associate disco with a certain kind of clothing and music that I can't reconcile with this scent. If I were to choose music for this, it would probably be Lana Del Rey, but filled with hope and joy. Maybe that's exactly what disco was like in '76 in Brazil? Like a hopeful and happy Lana Del Rey? What do I know about that. I would probably say that the scent is heavy, amber-like, and floral-sweet. I really like it. A reference to what I usually like might be in order. My absolute favorite perfume is Black Opium, and Black Opium Floral Shock. I also love Gold Au from The Rituals. I usually like smoky, musky, amber, and spicy scents. Those that others describe as sensual, oriental, or romantic. I would call them exciting and sweet. I also like Cheriosa No. 40, but I think I've found a new Sol de Janeiro favorite, and I'm referring to this one.

    Scent of Round Pears

    The first impression of the bottle is simple and tasteful everyday luxury. The gold around the glass is sophisticated, but the plastic in the cork reminds you that you need to clean the filter in the dryer :) Even though it doesn't smell like my usual taste (spicy and smoky), it still has that sensual and slightly muted playfulness that I tend to be attracted to. I didn't "get" the scent right away, so I've had to learn to know it these weeks. And I've liked it more and more. When I tried to describe the scent to my daughter, I said it smells like "round pears". She laughed at me. Did I mean apples? No, absolutely not! And now when I looked up what "white pears" look like (it says the perfume smells like that), the white pears definitely look round. So I stand by it: the scent is shimmering, like _round_pears_ in an ash-laden twilight - The atmosphere looks clear, but there is a weight and a special charge in the air that says it could become thunder. Even though it could just as easily be only sun! Sweet but not at all childish. I think it fits for practically any occasion. The scent is also good to "mix" with other scents. I have many scents that have mystique and secrets as a base. It fits with all such that I've tested so far ;) But it also works to lighten up with something cuter. Do I have any downsides to share? Well, it would be that it smells like shaving cream if you just smell directly in the cork and let it stay there. But you shouldn't do that!!! #Lykoinflutester #Ferragamo

    I'm a bit too young

    I was very happy when I realized I would get to try a cherry scent with a pear note. So cherry, pear, and peony flower and bergamot and what not, how good can that smell? In the description, it says it's summery with a sophisticated twist. Oh! The first impression of the bottle was not so impressive. It feels big and clunky. The sophisticated twist wasn't on the outside! OK, never mind, who cares! The inside then? After using it pretty much daily for a couple of weeks, I have to say that the scent is hard to place for me. I had to double-check that "cherry" really means cherry, I became so unsure if it really smells like cherry. What I can say is that it conveys a feeling, but I can't really pin down and name any specific scents. The feelings are: Summery, light, fresh, fruity, sweet, youthful. It smells good and is okay. It's nice. But does it have a sophisticated twist? Unfortunately, I have to say that I don't think so. It also felt a bit too youthful for me, as I am 40 years old. But if you're looking for a light and simple scent, I think you can give it a chance. #Lykoinflutester #DKNY

    Didn’t count

    Bought this, but even with small amounts, the lymph nodes in my throat started to ache and swell, in a very unpleasant way. The scent was okay, but felt a bit too young and light for me, as I like spicy and smoky musk scents around the clock. I want to smell mysterious and sensual even when I'm walking around in my slippers at home. So I gave it to my 19-year-old daughter, who was happy!

    Not complete in itself

    I've been craving this for a long time and bought it without trying it. Me, who says I don't like to gamble? But I liked the descriptions of it, love all the notes. I had painted an inner scent picture, a bit like one does sometimes when reading sheet music to see “how the song goes” in church, but then when you want to sing along, you sing too slowly and wrong. I was disappointed right away, though. It was not at all what I expected. It smells very soapy? Very musky. Smelled strong? Got a soapy taste in my mouth? Almost cried, in the perfume-soaked elbow. After a while, I did notice that it smelled much better. After another little while, it smelled quite nice. It must mature on the skin? It still only smelled okay, so I thought I’d layer another perfume on top. I’m at the cabin, so I chose Alchemy Gold Au, which was the only one I had with me. And they married together really well! Gold Au also disappears quite quickly, but now it held better. So I won’t have to sell this perfume cheaply on Tradera, what a relief! I also think it feels fun to combine it with more perfumes later. It will be a journey of discovery. However, it’s sad that it’s not complete in itself. I like the packaging, it has a heavy cap that clicks nicely. Nothing to complain about aesthetically, and functionally there’s nothing to criticize. It’s easy to control the spray. EDIT: this perfume is growing on me. I think it smells better now. Getting compliments, especially when I mixed it with a lighter and airier perfume (Sky from Armani in my case). I think it makes lighter perfumes a bit more serious without taking away the playfulness. But — the scent disappears quite quickly. Big minus.

    Received a sample - which could it have been?

    I received a sample of a shower oil but now I can't find out which brand it was. Can anyone help me? It was in a Lyko package just a few days ago, in a little bag like that.

    Can't choose color

    Am I the only one who doesn't see the color name in the scroll list, but only sees “amount” (and everyone has 5g).

    It rejuvenates my hair by 20 years, but my hair was shapeless back then

    I’ve been lucky enough to test this product from [hashtag] that [hashtag], and it has been fun! I’m 40 years old, and even though I have Scandinavian straight hair, it has become more worn and thinner in recent years, after various pregnancies. And this product from Goddess actually makes my hair feel more youthful again! It’s just that when I was younger, my hair was maybe shiny and full of life, but it was stick straight and shapeless. And that’s how I feel my hair is with this product. In one video, it’s right after I’ve blow-dried my hair after washing. The other, where the hair looks curly, is filmed after I’ve blow-dried a bit - put up in braided pigtails - which I slept with. And the curls you see, they soon became straight. Because that’s how my hair has always been in my youth - it was hydrated, shiny, full of life. And completely stick straight and impossible to style. And I don’t think I can blame the product. I think it’s really good in its own way. It makes my hair 20 years younger. How can it help that my hair 20 years ago was shiny, smooth, and totally straight no matter what I tried to do? It takes me back to the time when a Finnish-Swedish man cut my hair, in a small salon in one of Kungälv’s industrial areas, and said in a serious voice, "your hair is completely lifeless". So what should I give for a rating? So. The product is super concentrated. If I take one drop too much, my hair looks completely greasy. But if I take the right amount, my hair becomes shiny, like when I was 12 years old. It smells good. Kind of like pineapple? Something else tropical? Still, I don’t like it? I can’t give it more than a three? And this because I had shapeless hair 20 years ago?

    Easier on the lashes

    I have used their other lash power for several years, and I have been satisfied with it while wishing it felt lighter on the lashes. I don't really want that much volume, I mostly want color and length. And I think this one succeeds in that. It is significantly lighter on the lashes and gives length. Maybe it also gives curl, I don't know, since I still use a curler for the lashes. But the lashes definitely hold their curl better. Then the applicator leaves something to be desired. I don't know what I think about the brush being bent. Sometimes a lot of product comes out, making it clumpy. But it's not worse than being able to comb it out. Just like with the other lash power mascara, I don't think it deteriorates when it gets drier. I think it's good throughout its lifespan.

    Reminds me of Alchemy from Rituals (an oriental dream)

    This is how I imagine an oriental dream!! You know, palaces with beautiful winding entrances, large patterned shiny stone floors that are cold in contrast to the warmth in the air. Airy muted colorful clothes, exotic fruits, comfortable and soft but wonderfully beautiful shoes, spicy teas, and gold powder on the skin! It's so hard to describe scents, but these are the associations I get. Like Jasmine in Aladdin, but more grown-up, mature, although the playfulness is still there. It also reminds me of the limited-time "Alchemy" series from Rituals. I can only warmly recommend this. I like that the scent is mild, and that you can spray it in your hair, and top it up during the day :) Big favorite! I will be sad if they stop selling!
