Meant To Be Seen Tester

I read the comments below; one says this smells like a generic lobby, another says it is an expensive laundry scent. Well, yes. I do get all of that. Common words associated with this fragrance are clean, purple, soft, and velvety. This perfume has a quality I treasure in perfumery: it is reminiscent of things we smelled before, but we can't always name. It materializes a concept. A friend of yours might be checking in at a boutique hotel on the other side of the world, and he will think of you. Your partner might be away for work, sleeping on sheets that smell expensive, and he/she'll think of you. Those are moments that take us by surprise due to their simplicity, nostalgia, and comfort, just like this fragrance. Objectively speaking, this smells like pencil shavings that evolve into a shiny iris. This iris is velvety (not powdery), and it fades until the composition turns woodier. It does have a "molecular" feeling (whatever that means to you), but it's not overly synthetic. The purple sweetness from the iris stays throughout the scent's life, and it's addictive. It never turns candy-like. Unlike other reviewers, I get a decent bubble scent for at least 3 hrs. I love this scent; I love its nostalgia, its simplicity.

I think I found my new obsession. It feels soft, elegant, clean and quietly charming. This would be a perfect signature scent. Its softness is so addictive that I want to smell it over and over again. It is extremely suitable for daily wear in all seasons. It's quite low in sillage but that doesn't bother me because it's clearly designed as a skin scent. I don't expect tremendous sillage from such a scent. It gives me a similar feel to Fleur de Peau, but in comparison it feels much calmer and somehow more enchanting. Although it is a clean scent, it is not overly soapy. Instead, it smells like the scent of warm, clean skin. Intimate, comforting and effortlessly beautiful. I would like to congratulate the Turkish fragrance house Nishane and Jordi Fernández for creating such a beautiful perfume.

It's in cases like these that I'm glad they issue Amex credit cards to cats too. It's very floral, but not light. More like a heavier iris floral, but way less powdery than Manage. Rather... Woody? I like it anyways. Straight up feminine. Sillage is not great, which is surprising from something so heavy, but it's worth it. Very nice and totally worth it. Got it in store cuz it's not available in any discounters, which means it was pricier than I'd have liked, but it was nice to get.

I got my hands on a 10ml bottle so this is just my second impression. MTBS gives me the feeling of a white shirt that has just been steamed. It’s warm but clean at the same time, it’s so smooth and comforting. It’s glossier without the pepper & much smoother (refined). I do think this is overpriced but might be worth it, i definitely need to test it further. i’m really enjoying this & it is currently my top 1 in the clean “your skin but better” category.

Meant To Be Seen is a lovely little thing, beautifully put together. It doesn't need to shout to make an impression. To me, it's the kind of fragrance meant for personal enjoyment, something you wear more for yourself than for compliments. It has a golden quality, noble woods, and a surprising sense of depth, yet at the same time there's a powdery facet that softens everything and makes it feel incredibly pleasant on skin.
