Notes (Fragrance Structure)

Here are the notes at the different stages:

Scent Character & How It Develops

Here’s what you can expect at each phase, and general impressions of its character:

• Initial / Top: Bright and juicy — the passionfruit + mandarin give a sweet, tropical fruit burst. The ozonic note adds a fresh, airy / sparkling feel so it doesn’t just feel like syrup at first.

• Middle (Heart): The sweetness continues but gets more layered. Raspberry gives tartness, rose & orange blossom bring floral elegance, while sea salt adds a very slight twist (a salty freshness or edge) so it doesn't become one‑dimensional.

• Dry‑down / Base: This is where the gourmand side shines. Vanilla & praline give creamy, sweet, dessert‑like richness; musk softens it and adds warmth; toffee rounds things out. 

• Overall Vibe: Sweet, indulgent, playful. It feels like something that could evoke desserts or sugary treats, but with enough fruit & floral freshness (and the ozonic / sea salt touches) to balance so it’s not purely cloying. The bottle/presentation is also noted by many as quite pretty, adding to its appeal.

Performance & Wearability

What people generally report about how it wears:

• Longevity: Decent. Many say it lasts several hours on skin, and longer on clothes. The gourmand base helps in making the scent linger. 

• Projection / Sillage: Strong in the opening—people notice it shortly after spraying. Over time it tends to settle more into a skin‑close or moderate sillage.

• Best Conditions: Cooler weather or evenings will probably showcase it best, because sweet/gourmand fragrances often perform better when they have a chance to linger without being overwhelmed by heat. Also good for special occasions or when you want the fragrance to be more noticeable.

Likes, Dislikes & What to Be Aware Of

What people tend to like:

• The fruit + sweet dessert combo, especially the passionfruit / raspberry with vanilla / praline, is often praised as fun and noticeable. 

• The contrast with small touches like sea salt and the ozonic note gives it a fresher edge than some simple vanilla‑gourmand perfumes. It helps not to be overwhelmingly sweet all the way. 

• The presentation / bottle, value for price – many feel you're getting quite a lot for what you pay.

What some people don’t like or find problematic:

• For some, the fruit notes (especially in the opening) smell “off” — described by a number of users as “overripe”, “rotten”, “sharp”, “old lipstick” or “grandma’s house” smells. 

• The sweetness is heavy in parts of the dry‑down: vanilla, praline, toffee. If you dislike sweet gourmands, this could be cloying.

• Some experience that the scent is synthetic or artificial feeling, especially in fruit / top phases. 

• Sometimes it seems the opening can be polarizing — strong fruit / ozonic notes with little subtlety at first.

Who It Might Be For & Situations It Suits

Sakeena seems ideal for:

• Someone who likes sweet fruity gourmands with floral touches. If you like perfumes that smell a bit like dessert + fruits + vanilla, this will probably appeal.

• Evening wear, casual nights out, parties, or times when you want more projection. Could also work in colder months when sweet notes feel comforting.

• Also good if you like perfumes that get noticed, have character, not too subtle.

It might be less ideal if:

• You prefer clean, fresh, minimal, or “fresh linen / aquatic” scents.

• You dislike very sweet or dessert‑like fragrances.

• You’re in very hot or humid weather and worry about sweetness turning sticky.
