walk into Farmers with my list of high end designer perfumes I wanted to sniff. I’m on the hunt for a new perfume, and I’d taken down some suggestions from BR ladies. After walking around for literally 25 minutes sad, nauseated and confused as to why none of the scents were cutting it for me, there she was, like a gift from god himself, in the corner, lonely and neglected - Onika. Running over I picked up her head, pressed the nozzle up against my nose and took a good whiff...
….. WOW….
You know that moment where you experience something you’ve been waiting all your life to experience, and you get that rush of endorphins running all over your body and you get mad tingly all over and you cannot contain your excitement? I imagine it’s what it’s like holding your new born child for the first time… Yea that was my reaction to the scent of this perfume. I don’t even know where to begin!
It smells very similar to Pink Friday and Minajesty, so if you are a fan you will love this! But this scent is something else. It smells like hard candy!! Imagine sticking your head in a bag of Starbursts, that is the scent. It is very fruity, but also has a floral kick to it, as well as the tiniest hint of musk It’s so so so sweet, but not sickly even the slightest bit. It’s very pretty, very feminine, elegant, classy, sassy, sexy, fun, youthful, ugh I could go on all day. It’s just such a beautiful scent. It’s perfect for summer and spring and is very youthful.
It smells like pears, sugar, mandarin and bananas, apples and strawberries - although there are no strawberries, apples or bananas in it. Like I said - imagine a bag of starbursts.
It’s perfect for everyday, everywhere use. Whether you’re on a date, at the office, out to lunch it is perfect.
Then of course there is the bottle! This definitely has a more elegant, more sophisticated bottle then her previous perfumes. It’s more grown up, so fits the mature lover. I love the black which definitely stands out amongst the mainly yellow potion perfumes I own. And it definitely is an eye-catcher - people are more interested in seeing the bottle, than they are seeing me when they walk into my room.
I do have a bone to pick and that is that it doesn’t last on the skin at all. The maximum would be one hour. It does last on my shirt for a couple days but only if you purposely hold it to your nose and smell it. It makes me so so so sad because I love this! But I have to purchase roller balls to carry with me everywhere because staying power is POOR!
Tips: Apply vaseline, and apply this at the base of the neck, wrist, and inner elbow, as well as your usual places. it will last longer
