"I was really into this scent for a while, but now it doesn't smell like it used to—it feels completely different. It seems something's changed in their formula, and when I compared the old and new versions, they're nothing alike! The fresh, sexy vibe has been replaced by something that feels cheap and overly floral—no sign of the usual white musk or those deeper notes either. Plus, the lasting power is weak; it disappears in just an hour. It's confusing why they kept the same name and bottle design if the formula has changed, especially since only the box is different."
I've reached for the 3rd bottle; it's one of my favorite summer scents. It brings happiness and a sunny vibe around me. The scent lasts a while on my skin. Fresh floral notes are balanced with Musk, Vanilla, and Sandalwood in the base—a must-keep! The 3rd flask is a favorite summer scent of mine. It makes me feel happy and gives me a sunny, bright aura around me. It's long-lasting on my skin. The fresh floral notes are complemented by Musk, Vanilla, and Sandalwood in the base—a clear keeper for any perfume collector!
The scent reminds me of J’adore, but it’s completely different from what I wore in the early 2000s. It doesn’t last long—it fades away almost immediately. What happened? I’d love if they revisited their original, smoother formula. It’s not doing the brand any favors.
It's surprising to me how there are so many negative reviews for this perfume when I personally love it! It doesn't come off as synthetic on me or my mom, which I really appreciate. The scent feels girly and fun, with a sexy yet romantic vibe. It’s primarily floral but has a sweet undertone that makes it appealing. The longevity is impressive—I’ve noticed it lasts much longer than other perfumes I’ve tried before. When I apply it at night, the fragrance lingers on my hair and clothes throughout the day, which is a huge plus!
I really love this perfume because floral scents, especially rose, appeal to me, though it’s subtle here. Wearing it in spring and summer makes me feel fresh and cool, like after a shower. The clean scent is especially refreshing when the weather is warm. Unfortunately, it’s not available in the Netherlands anymore, so I bought a 50ml bottle on Curacao in 2009. It was finished by 2013, so I got an 80ml bottle in Aruba that year. I’m lucky to have enough now! This fresh, elegant floral scent is perfectly named “Chic,” and it’s great for sunny days in spring and summer. It works well for daytime but also feels stylish at night, especially when getting dressed up for a party. The scent reminds me of Miracle by Lancome, sharing that clean, fresh feeling—probably from freesia. I’m a fan of Alberto Morrillas’s work; I own Pleasures and Intuition by Estee Lauder too, both making me feel like I just took a shower all day. I’ve also bought two bottles of Intuition. On vacations in 2009 and 2013, I bought three scents each time: Allure by Chanel, Pleasures, and Chic on Curacao; DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, Chic, and Miracle on Aruba. Alberto Morrillas must be a genius since two of the three scents I bought were his! I also love perfumes like Omnia Amethyste, Green Jade, and India Garnet by Bvlgari, CK One, Manifesto by Isabella Rosselini, Scarlet by Cacharel, Flower by Kenzo, and Daisy and Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs. I’m definitely a fan of Alberto Morrillas’s work!
