A Splash of Sunshine: Malibu Party in the Bay Simone Andreoli
On my skin, Malibu Party in the Bay feels like a vibrant cocktail of joy. It’s bold and zesty, with a unique personality that turns heads.

On my skin, Lait et Chocolat feels like a comforting embrace, evoking memories of childhood treats. The fragrance opens with a burst of creamy milk chocolate, like a steaming cup of cocoa. As it develops, the sweetness softens, revealing a perfectly balanced blend of milky and chocolatey notes that feels irresistibly nostalgic. It’s an ideal choice for fall and winter, when its warmth feels like an escape from the cold. With moderate longevity, it wraps me in its delicious aura for hours.

Decadent Indulgence: Italica Xerjoff
On my skin, Italica is pure decadence—warm, rich, and unapologetically indulgent. The fragrance opens with the bold bitterness of almond, which mellows into a creamy fusion of milk, toffee, and vanilla. Over time, it softens into a velvety blend of sandalwood and white musk, leaving a warm, inviting trail. Perfect for fall and winter, it feels like a luxurious hug on a chilly day. With impressive longevity of 8 hours and head-turning sillage, Italica is a unisex masterpiece for those who crave bold, gourmand scents. It’s a sophisticated treat that makes any day feel special.

Specialist Dmitrii advice
If you want a perfume that truly shifts your mood, go for one with a dynamic structure—something that evolves on your skin. Bright top notes like citrus or aldehydes give an instant boost, but rich base notes like vanilla or woods sustain the effect. Avoid simple, linear scents; instead, look for ones with complexity, where different notes unfold over time. High-quality ingredients matter too—naturals like rose or jasmine absolutes are emotionally powerful. And don’t forget context—how the scent interacts with sunlight, warmth, or even your outfit can totally change how it makes you feel.
