Priceless Optimism
by Mastercard
Priceless Optimism is an experimental fragrance that leans into absurdity and satire, playing on the idea of financial instruments as scent. It features a dominant citrus-aromatic profile built around grapefruit, mandarin orange, and Haitian vetiver, but its composition is notably repetitive across all olfactory layers, suggesting minimal development or evolvement in the fragrance experience. The perfume is marketed as unisex, with long-lasting sillage and very long longevity—claims that many reviewers found laughable given the high volume of jesting comments. Interestingly, the product’s pricing is labeled as "very underpriced" by half the voters, though the humor appears to be the main draw.
Pros
- +The fragrance has a bold, noticeable presence with strong sillage, making it difficult to miss.
- +The unique concept and playful satire make it memorable and entertaining.
- +The citrus-aromatic blend is fresh and suitable for spring and summer wear.
Cons
- −The fragrance lacks depth and complexity, with notes repeated across all layers.
- −Its perceived absurdity makes it a poor fit for those seeking a serious or refined scent.
- −The strong sillage and long longevity are not supported by actual experience, making the claims questionable.
