BellaVita Luxury SKAI Aquatic Unisex Cologne (3.48 fl.oz) Gift | Unisex Fresh Cologne Perfume | Long-Lasting Body Mist with Bergamot & Pink Pepper | Clean, Natural & Cruelty-Free Vanilla Perfume

UPDATE:I’ve been using this perfume for approximately 4ish months now. My original review said the scent lasted a while, but I do think it actually wears off quickly. I find myself reapplying it at least 1-2 times throughout the day. However, literally never in my life have I had so many complete and random strangers approach me about my scent. Everywhere I go, someone starts sniffing the air and says something smells really good. I held a baby for a few minutes and someone could smell my perfume on the baby and said it smelled good. Random women at work constantly tell me I smell amazing. Women tend to love the smell. I had a woman approach me in the grocery store and said she was a scent connoisseur and asked me what I was wearing because she loved it so much. She was shocked when I told her how affordable the scent was. I frequently get comments like “you smell like luxury” or “you smell expensive”! My coworkers sniff my like a dog sometimes!!! The scent has definitely grown on me and I really enjoy the woody and spicy yet also very sweet scent. If you are contemplating purchasing it, DO IT. You will thank yourself later because people will be all over you about how delicious you smell, especially once the scent settles into your skin and melds with your natural pheromones. This scent is definitely an attention grabber and makes you feel sexy and mysterious and flirty! This literally has become my daily perfume despite the fact that I previously decided it wouldn’t be based on a one time use. If you buy and don’t love it right away, use it for a week and the rethink your decision! I originally gave it 4 stars, but I’m giving it 5 now.Original:The scent does last quite a while. I sprayed some on me in the evening because I wanted to smell the new scent and I caught some scents of it lingering the next morning. The scent is sweet and thick. It has slight hints of citrus but the vanilla and patchouli are the strongest notes. The spice is also a bit stronger than I’d personally prefer however, it’s still quite nice. It’s a great date night scent. It reminds me of the bath and body scents but with better quality and way longer lasting. I wouldn’t necessarily pick it as a daily perfume but a great addition to the collection for when I’m feeling spicy and sexy. I’m excited to try more scents!

Honestly for the price it’s really nice, I didn’t expect it to last as long as it does. Reapplication is needed but I’ve only had to reapply 1 to 2 times a day, to me the scent is like fall in a bottle. If you want something warm and cozy with a hint of luxury this is perfect. It’s not suffocating but it’s decently strong, anyone you speak too will be able to smell it. My advice is to wear it with patchouli, the honey scent blossoms when mixed together and it adds a slightly more musky nature smell to it!!

So this is a pretty, golden bottle,BUT the "honey" profile ends there??Juice has notes of oud, lime, generally masculine, warm, and spicy in a gourmand, environmental (i.e. think warm and spicy home or kitchen waft, versus a particular dish or cuisine) sense. It's woody and definitely skews more "manly"/ masculine in spray profile and on the skin.Wear/ scent goes on heavy, would suggest direct-to-skin application, conservative spritz (1-2), then allowing air dry before donning clothing. Spraying your clothes is going to run strong, with an alcoholic finish. Let that carrier (alcohol) dry off, don't wear it in your attire. Final product is subtle and intimate in sillage, it's closer quarters and closer contact, rather than an announcement you're here. IF you spray clothing, you may do more screeching-- but dry-down with light spritz is understated and warm.- 3 stars because wear-time seems to run shorter,- Also expected a feminine finish?? But don't get traditionally "girly" or "womanly" notes anywhere in this one?- I'm a big fan of Mugler's Angel line (and personally own multiple flankers), so I don't mind a heavier patchouli-- but I don't find him here? (Amazon advertises this accord in product byline)- Gifted full bottle to teenaged son, along with some of the guidelines here about keeping his application light, and out of clothing directly.Sidenote:Even though this scent has "honey" in the name, perfume Bible (Fragrantica) doesn't list or include honey in its scent accords?? They also don't list the patchouli mentioned above?? I can't account for a honey scent at all here, either, but scent does run sweetly warm.TLDR: If you're looking for a BIG honey signature (i.e. KK "Pure Honey," or Demeter line), this is NOT the cologne/ perfume for you. That being said, it's a woody, intimate masculine fragrance that won't break the bank, and doesn't smell like every other gentleman, or masc-leaning cologne, on the market today.
