Asteria (for women)

I don't like this perfume.

from the begaining i liked this very much but later after i bought more perfumes I started to not use it at all.

the fragrance is sweet and very girly but I don't like this one.

I adore peonies, those big, blowsy blooms with their divine musky fragrance. The mixture of notes is what tempted me to try this, and I'm not disappointed I did, although it's not quite what I'd hoped.

Unlike asilverfire614's experience, I was lucky enough to get full-blown peony with a fainter, background bunch of velvety roses painted in watercolours. This dries down to a very light amber & cedar (I don't particularly sense any sandalwood or plum). The cloves are there all the time, but more faintly than I wanted. No vanilla at all for me, and again this is a shame as I would have liked at least a little.

I feel the volume is turned down on this fragrance - it's still lovely & I don't regret buying it, but one wishes they had been a little braver. Perhaps it's just too refined for me? Perhaps I'm just too greedy? I want to ask the person adding the spices... (in the manner of Oliver Twist) "Please, Sir, can I have some more?"

I sampled this in the mall a few days ago and when I looked it up on here I was surprised that it's listed as a floral woody musk. To my nose it would be considered a floral fruity gourmand...

Opening was very sweet plum with a touch of rose. Never detected juniper, peony, or cloves. What I DID soon detect was lots of sweet vanilla...which is really strange since that's not even listed in the notes.

It was sweet and edible even throughout the dry-down. Lasted about four hours. I'm confused about the vanilla and was surprised to see juniper, peony, cloves, cedar, etc listed in the notes.

Doesn't smell at all like it sounds! I will say that it's very similar to a bunch of other floral fruity gourmands...nothing remarkable about it, in my opinion. (Except for the really cool futuristic space bottle! :)
