Something a bit "off" here..
by Sharon on Jun 10, 2016
Smells a bit too alcoholic initially, but settles down into a sweet caramelly blend of mixed fruit and chocolate. Something about this I find offputting. I think toffee notes disagree with me, there's a sharpness there, or... perhaps it's just too sweet for me. It has the same strange offputting smell to me that Flowerbomb does (but I think this is just me, as everyone seems to love Flowerbomb).
Unlike Flowerbomb, however, this doesn't pack quite the same punch. Which is good for being around people in small spaces - like offices, say, but not so good if you're looking for a sillage or longevity monster to last you through the night. The fruit and vanilla aspects however, are quite nice - but there is something unrealistic or synthetic about this that just puts me off.

Sweet and fruity, but more mature than many gourmands
by Betsy on Feb 28, 2016
I get mostly toffee, peach, and black currant. I don't get any patchouli, and little in the way of florals.
It smells a lot like a sweeter, lighter version Bath and Body Works's Forever Red, and like Forever Red, No 4 can become cloying in warmer weather.
Very nice scent, though.

Surprisingly Yummy
by Cassie on Oct 17, 2015
When I read the reviews I was expecting this perfume to be a disappointment/comparable to some of the little kid perfumes. The worst case scenerio would have been for the perfume to smell like patchouli like several reviews mentioned because I HATE the smell of patchouli. But I am glad to say that I smell none of the above and that this perfume smells very yummy and very similar to the summer inspired fruity perfumes in the Escada limited edition line (Ocean Lounge, Turquoise Summer, Rockin Rio, etc). The only thing that would make this perfume better is for it to last longer. Again, it is much like the Escada perfumes and it does not last very long.

Fruity Sweet Patchouli
by Nazia on Aug 26, 2015
Good perfume in the style of La Vie est Belle and Flowerbomb (and firstly, Angel.) I get a lot of strawberry and toffee from this one, very sweet, warm, and feminine. I enjoyed wearing this one :)

For patchouli lovers
by Eva on Jul 29, 2015
I loved no7, so I was excited to try this out. This would have been a very warm perfume if it wasn't for how strong the patchouli/dry down was. If you like that sort of thing, this may be for you.

Like No 7 ... Ok
by Beth on Jan 4, 2015
Just like my experience with Hanae Mori No 7, I like the top notes but not the dry down.
