TSVGA Parfums Strawberry Seduction Extrait de Parfum is a mixture of drizzled, fruity syrups over extra animalic notes, and whereas it appeared like strawberry was going to be the star, the animal notes appeared to dominate extra to my nostril. I went in anticipating summer season strawberries however obtained one thing that was extra like accented by delicate, fruity notes and was dominated by drier leather-based and darker musk. After 5 hours of wear and tear, it sweetened and appeared fruitier however heavier from spiced woods and a touch of vanilla.
Strawberry Seduction Notes
It’s described as “essentially the most real strawberry perfume,” with the opening having a “blast” of it that then “melts” into rose and vanilla. The notes are listed as: strawberry, rose, vanilla, almond, ylang ylang, lavender, osmanthus, blue lotus, civet, ambergris, and muskrat.
What does Strawberry Seduction Scent Like?
It opened with candy, barely syrupy, strawberry, then it was extra like a haze of strawberry smeared over dry leather-based. There was a sourness that permeated the strawberry observe, which appeared to grow to be hazier and hazier, because the scent veered into dry, considerably musky, and customarily animalic–not fecal or barnyard-like per se however extra like an outdated barn with outdated saddles hung up lined in mud and filth.
Inside 20 minutes, the strawberry was extra just like the juice of unripened strawberries subsequent to dry, barely aged leather-based, obscure animalic notes, and drier woods. Over the following hour and a half, the dry, leathery high quality dissipated and a tangy, pink fruit medley emerged stronger. From the third to fifth hour of wear and tear, the fruitiness strengthened and sweetened with vanilla, whereas a way of spiced woodiness began to come back by way of. By the eight hour, it was a mixture of spiced amber and woods with vanilla and a touch of pink fruits.
Longevity
It lasted for eight hours till it was a skin-scent and about 10 hours earlier than it was fairly troublesome to detect on my pores and skin. The sillage and projection had been reasonable with the sillage dropping sooner than the projection throughout the second hour of wear and tear.
Private Notes
After taking a break from reviewing perfumes (I wore lots of my new favorites for the time being!), I dove again in, and this one caught my eye as one thing that could be notably becoming for the summer season season. The perfume was actually not-so-strawberry dominated for the primary three hours of wear and tear, and the primary three hours of drier, musty leather-based and animalic vibes was very totally different than the latter put on, which was candy, spiced and woody with hints of pink fruit. For me, I didn’t benefit from the first half of wear and tear, and the final half was satisfying however not sufficient to make up for the start.
These are extra subjective emotions based mostly on what I like (or don’t like) in a fragrance in addition to contemplating the perfume in opposition to different perfumes I personal and love.
Testing Methodology
For testing, I used 1/3 of a 0.7ml pattern vial dabbed to the underside and topside of my wrist space. I used an unscented moisturizer previous to making use of the scent as I discovered scent didn’t maintain effectively right here in any other case.
I bought my pattern in Might 2022; fragrances are recognized to be reformulated over their lifetime, so be conscious of when a evaluation was made, e.g. a evaluation from 2010 could not replicate what the same-named fragrance smells like in 2022.
Availability

If doable, I extremely suggest attempting a perfume earlier than buying a full bottle as a result of perfume can put on otherwise simply due to pores and skin chemistry. Pores and skin chemistry can impact not simply the longevity of a perfume but additionally what notes are outstanding or hidden.

We suggest the next retailers for buying decanted samples (usually 0.7ml to 2ml in dimension). It is a fuller checklist, so particular person availability could depend upon stock.
