The opening is rather sharp, with a pronounced alcoholic edge. It quickly settles, enveloping the senses in fresh, bright, fruity-floral notes. My husband likened it to a 1990s deodorant. As the fragrance unfolds, it smooths into milky, creamy accords that are comforting and enveloping. In this form, it lasts the longest, offering great wearing pleasure with a noticeable yet unobtrusive sillage. Longevity requires at least one reapplication during the day, as the base—subtle though still perceptible on fabric—remains gentle even at the end of the day. This is a highly successful 1990s composition, standing out among other perfumes of its era. Even compared to contemporary fragrances, it beautifully showcases the warmth and comfort of milky notes without heavy, animalic accents or overtly dessert-like gourmandism. A beautiful, subtle, and well-balanced composition.
Plus Plus Feminine
Diesel Plus Plus Feminine is a 75 ml eau de toilette for women with an oriental–floral character. Launched in 1997, the fragrance was created by Arturetto Landi. The composition opens with top notes of bitter orange, lily of the valley, blackcurrant leaves, pineapple, and fruity accords. These give way to a rich heart featuring jasmine, coconut, magnolia, orchid, lily, cherry, strawberry, red apple, and milk. The scent settles into warm base notes of musk, sandalwood, Virginia cedar, amber, nutmeg, vanilla, and iris root. This complex composition is ideal for cooler days, enveloping the wearer in a satin-smooth, soft aroma dominated by a distinct white lily note, softened by vanilla and exotic fruits. It is dedicated to gentle, shy women who are nevertheless seeking their own way to express sensuality.
