Not at all 'intense' i have this one as well as the original and i was expecting it to be deeper darker and stronger. It is in fact a sweeter lighter more playful scent basically fruity, completely opposite to the original which is dark strong and powerful. This scent is infact more fickle & innocent than the original. I think the original in the darker bottle should be named 'intense' as this one is the lighter airy version with added tropical notes and fruits. The other one has deeper dewy notes.

I just hate this juice. off-putting to high extend. very synthatic. try before you're stuck with it.

After one month of this i can really say that i Loove this fragrance perfect in spring... yes the lasting power and the projection is not good.

I have also tried a fragrance that it's called Yodeyma Sophysticate that it's very similar and a lidl more strong, to try.

So, this was a blind buy from groupon (yes, i am a groupon fiend but only becauase these things are sooo cheap) based on general reviews of the fragrance, and wow what a good buy it was. I have never in my whole life wanted to eat my arm because of a perfume. Maybe it's because I'd just gotten home from a trip and hadn't eaten anything substantial since the night before, but wow did this perfume smell.... edible. And not in a saccharine, gourmandy kind of way like the original Omnia either. This perfume is more like a cool drink by the pool at the hottest part of the most humid summer.

On first spray I definitely got ginger, but I also got a but of citrus and some flower (wisteria I guess - I am unfamiliar with wisteria as a scent). The first spray is sharp because of the ginger, but after a while softens into a fresh, clean, beautiful fragrance that stays all day long.

Towards the end of the day I remember why I wanted to eat my arm. There's this drink called Geisha at a place here in DC called Coco Sala that I absolutely adore. It's ginger based and tastes extremely similar to the way this smells (which seems like it should be gross, but is actually fantastic!)

So yes, fantastic blind buy. Thank you Fragrantica contributing to my perfume edification. <3

I smell cherries, cherries, cherries. I don't understand why as there are no cherry notes apparently but whenever i smell this i get that warm fuzzy cherry smell with cinnamon and deep intoxicating spices. There is also a sharp scent of leather & green occasionally. It is an aroma one and whenever there is a slight bodily movement you get a strong overwhelming scent pass you by- deeply sensual. It is very seductive and the type of scent that blends well with the natural scent of a man. Without going into too much detail i think it is the smell of sex , it is ideal for attracting women, well for attracting me anyway.

I have a full bottle if someone is interested out there, PM me.

This is well-behaved pineapple (not the overpowering, too-sweet-and-sour J.Lo Glow after Dark kind) mixed with warm coconut shavings over a base of vanilla skin musk.

Basically, the loveliest pina colada ever. I'm not a fan of pineapple and I love this scent, that's how nice it is. If you're on the fence about blind-buying this: go for it. It's cheap and good; is there a better recipe for a happy buy? :)

The only downside to this is that its longevity isn't great. I think I get around 3 hours out of this. But I think that if this fragrance had been a lot stronger it would've gotten a banana-like acetone note that would've ruined the whole scent. Besides, the bottle is big enough to re-spray every now and then.

4/5

I am thinking of this one to buy my husband for Father's Day. I smelled it today and loved it. I have armani code for women and love it. I like sweeter warm scents. I think he will enjoy this.

I smell liquorice and strawberry laces with a nutty almond undertone with that warm sweet creamy vanilla scent pouring through, i think it is rather sweet smelling & not at all deadly as some claim it to be. It is a tasty smelling fragrance but i wouldn't say it gives off any particular intense vibe or femme fatale aura as i suspected looking at the bottle. It is pleasant & mouthwatering to smell but heavy and deadly is something it is not. It is very light in terms of having to actually smell my wrist up close in order to get a sniff of it, i suspected for the price and the name and all it would be intoxicatingly strong and overwhelming, it is in fact a soft smelling fragrance. It is non threatening and i believe it is usuable for everyday every occasion wear.

My mom wears this and I've worn it a couple times. On her it smells so clean and fresh, her skin but better! On me it just smells like antibacterial soap. Good fragrance if you're looking for something really, really, clean!

This is definitely a skin scent. My skin pulls a lot of sandalwood, cloves, and nutmeg from this scent. The ginger is definitely there, it's just overtaken by the others on my skin. The dry down is absolutely lovely and I get chai tea and cinnamon with the other spices lingering. This fragrance lasts a moderate while on the skin.

Bottom Line: while I'm generally a huge supporter of skin scents (Prada Candy by Prada), I most likely wouldn't get this one again. It's lovely, but becomes too soft too quickly. Something that smells this nice without being overpowering absolutely needs to invade other's olfactory space at least a little bit just to share the joy; it's a pity that it's only a skin scent. That and the fact that it is now discontinued really doesn't motivate me to purchase another bottle once this one runs out.

The year was 1983. I had just entered my teenage era. I was still a child but things where happening with me but they where just in the beginning of a very exiting time of my life. In one of the subjects I studied I had a young female teacher. She was strict, beautiful and fair. I did not fall in love with her but I did fall in love with the scent she always wore. It was just amazing. It was something I had never smelt before. It was wild and dangerous but at the same time incredibly seductive. It got your attention at once and I just sat there during all the classes and did her every bidding and all my homework without even arguing at all about the load of work I got. One day I was bold enough to ask her the name of the scent she had. It was Halston. That summer I slaved like h*ll and cut the grass at all our neighbors lawns and did a lot of other stuff so I could buy it to the woman that was most important for me right then, my mother.

I got nostalgic when I saw that it was still around and bought a bottle again to give my mother at mothersday this year. No the scent is (as quite a few of you have noticed) not the same any more. It is more tuned down and the wildness and the seduction is not there anymore. But it is ok. My mother is not as wild and young anymore but a grand old lady but the scent still smells nice. Soapy, woody and stays on the skin for some time and it fits my mother quite well and the most important thing; she was happy with it.

I dint like this parfume !!!!!!!!!

Beautiful, refreshing scent indeed. Will be dearly missed. For those of you who really want this perfume and want to get the genuine 100ml EDP, there's good news - its still available online on at perfumesonlineshop.co.uk (google it, if in doubt)for about 54 pounds, (the good ol' market price, I think.) I just got the 100ml edp as a gift (talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth!! he he) from an old sweet friend who went out of his way to get me this when he visited, last week from UK. He said he ordered it online from this site, hence I'm in the know :) I visited this site before posting (just to make sure the info is correct)and noticed they have 42 pieces currently in stock as I write this review.
PS: I'm new to fragrantica, so my apologies in advance, if I'm breaking any forum rules here but I really do want to help some of the reviewers below in sourcing a loved scent without having to burn a huge hole in one's pocket!
PPS: As per the review disclaimer below, I would like to add that I have no relation whatsover with the seller, who I'm assuming is on an entirely different continent, if they are selling products out of UK!

Sour tangerines is all I can smell.
Was hoping for a HP dupe. :-(

I just got my EDT in the mail, I was dying to smell this perfume, and that's what I could afford. At first I smelled the benzoine, it smelled like bug spray and I thought I'd made a mistake. But like any fragrance of substance, the best was yet to come. Net I smelled pastel, powdery candy that made me think of those Necco candies. I can smell the iris for sure. I know it's supposed to smell like Paris at dusk, but I think of spring afternoons in the American south where I've lived all my life. This is how I imagine Zelda Fitzgerald smelled when she lived in Montgomery, AL. It makes me think of the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It smells older than any time anyone now remembers, which doesn't make it "old lady" to me. I've smelled three Guerlain fragrance, Samsara, which is too masculine, Shalimar, which I have and love, is sexier. I wish I had the EDP, one day... I'll wear this fragrance when I want to feel sweet, pretty, and melancholy.

This fragrance is comforting.
It's very clean, it feels as if you just stepped out of the shower and you are surounded by an aura of clean soap!
But you also get a green note (which it may be oakmoss, although to me it smells more like a light cypress).
I don't smell much of ginger.
I find Zirh good, intimate and casual, extremely clean.
Now, if you want a fragrance that people can smell even three blocks from where you are standing, then probably this is not the fragrance.

In my opinion, the perfect smelling scent for Spring and Summer.

It's just so fresh and overall nice, and Jude Law is great in that mediterranean ad photo, reminds me of that scenery every time I smell this.

It's different from Allure Homme Sport Cologne Sport in that it does not have the spices of Chanel, but instead it is more floral, and in my opinion the scent side is a bit better. And it lasts a nice 4 to 8 hours on my skin which is decent enough for a Summer day out.

The only gripe I have with this, is its sillage. After 5-10 minutes of spraying it on my arm, it moves closer to the skin than any other scent I've tried yet. If only it was better, I would use this and only this for the whole Spring/Summer/start of Autumn period...

Scent 10/10
Longevity 6/10
Sillage 2/10

very fresh and green, not for me but a younger person may enjoy the green and white tea notes. Mine was an unsolicited sample, strange because it came with femme rochas and mauboussin, opposite end of the 'fume spectrum.

Fresh, young, elegant, a spring-summer perfume. Good for everyday wear, office and free time as well.
It's not unforgettable but if you like new fragrances, you may give it a try.

I really want to get my nose on this fragrance!

I gifted this to my wife today, and she is in love with it. Floral and non offensive. Its creamy and feminine. Unique with a good longevity. Overall a very good choice....

Ferns, White Thyme, Artemisia, Violet Leaves, Cinnamon, Bergamot, Mandarin Leaves, Lime, Mint Water, Melon, Watermelon and Pineapple, woody and musky accents.
From L'Erbolario site.

Simple but Delicious, green talc, remember me one of Centaures of Cardin maybe just that green one, but I can't swear that.

I wore this stuff as a kid. It really is the one that had me hooked on frags. I know its cheap and old school. But you cant deny this stuff. If sprayed in the proper dosage its really nice. I smelled someone wearing this in the grocery store the other day and it had me looking around trying to find the source. Hate on it if you will, but its a classic. A selfish fragrance for me.

Floor cleaner. you could use his hair to mop your floor with this stuff. The open was okay...but...no. just no.

HUELE A ANCIANA DIABETICA JAJAJAJAJAJA

Im a sucker for frags from the 90's...once in awhile you dont want new...you dont want trendy...you dont want sweet & unisex...you want to smell LIKE A MAN! This frag accomplishes that very well IMO.

este perfume es para putos y ademas huele a a establo

HUELE A MIERDA D MARRANO Q ASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm typing this review based on my nice memories of Polo Sport: it was the bomb during my college years, and everyone seemed to love it back then, as it smelled fresh, clean, and a little fruity-sweet.

The initial alcohol-y blast projects widely, like the fume is morphing to a hand gently guiding your nose to the wearer. I still remember how it used to turn heads minutes after application. Polo Sport quickly becomes a pleasant aquatic after that.

Polo Sport isn’t a bad fragrance, but it is light, so it lacks lasting power. If you really like the scent, make sure to carry a splash mini-bottle and reapply as needed like I did back in college.

huele a caca de oso hormiguero q ascoooooooooooooooo

I was eager to give this one a wearing after having owned and worn the masculine version, and though it's more ambitious than the guys' version, I don't think the feminine passion is as successful. Still, I do feel it's a very nice fragrance. The ingredient quality is pretty low, and the notes are blended together in a manner that prohibits any one thing from standing apart, but there are two very distinct phases. The top accord is a cloud of sweet musk and tuberose, hinged by incense to the same vanillic sandalwood base as Passion for Men. After an hour or so I find myself imagining the lavender from the masculine, and that's how I know that I can't cross into the ladies' aisle with this frag. But ladies, please do wear this inexpensive oriental. It smells good, and maybe you can "bring it back."

Luv the scent

I just found my bottle of this after putting it in a box under my bed when I re-decorated last year. I remember buying this one about two years ago in TK Maxx, I was so excited to find a harajuku lovers perfume after I drooled over them in Debenhams when they were first released.

I haven't tried them all but I'm pretty happy with this one. I was shocked it had Honeysuckle as I usually hate fragrances with it. I think it's because this has a strong "sour" note that covers up any sickly sweetness.

I'll be keeping this in my handbag for a while to try and use it up. I'm on a mission to get through most of my bottles ;-)

I think this is a great perfume for the summer as It's refreshing and light.

I have one full bottle in the original package. If someone need it just let me know. I tried to love this cologne but it is too intensive on me. :-)

I smell strawberry, after 30 minutes is enough to make you very sexy, at least 7 out of 10 women will tease you, suitable for evening wear.
my conclusion: casual, love and flirting,
note: in my skin last 5 to 6 hours,
Verry Recomended For 17 years to 30 years

Well..i gave this one a try today, as well, and i must say i wasn't blown away by it.

Sure it starts off really strong almost like a Chypre Floral perfume and that is a bit intimidating to me, as those tend to turn stinky on my skin... but this one knew when to make a stage exit and didn't overstay its welcome =).... it died down to a very sweet, powdery vanilla scent. Not bad really, but i was expecting more from a Jean Paul Gaultier perfume - some twists, some turns, some unexpected drama... but i was left waiting. Nothing spectacular happened!

Now, I'm not saying that this isn't a great perfume or that it isn't well balance or that it doesn't have staying power...because it does! It has everything that a classic elegant perfume should have! ... it was just lacking that quirk...that spectacular moment that i have come to expect from his creations.

So all in all its definitely an "ok" perfume... but its nothing special and more so nothing special for its price.

Dior Addict to Life is a pretty, feminine fragance. I have to admit that at first it was SUPER strong, but it really toned down nicely within minutes. While the rose is prominent, it isn't heavy or powdery. I can also detect a tiny bit of lilac, even though it isn't listed as one of the notes on this site. Honestly, I don't know if I would have recognized the note as lilac without the help of the reviews below, but since it was pointed out, yes, I can definitely get a hint of it (which I really like). Definitely musky. Overall, Addict to Life retains a lightness that is impressive since the lasting power is good (so far-4 hr and going strong!). So far I find it an enjoyable, spring-appropriate scent that will be good for day wear.

I have not used this one for a few months now, and just returned to it today, ohhhh heaven on earth! This is the parfume for me that I refuse to use every day or at work because I think it is so precious and I have to savour every minute of wearing it - who can do that at work?? I know I am being silly, but this is how I feel!:) Love love love, so feminine, so confident yet gentle, so expensive yet down to earth, it is truly a masterpiece. No way it is a man's cologne:) It is absolute sexyness in a bottle!

I recently bought this from sephora but ended up sending it back.It smells very nice but it smells like a natural version of light blue which I already own.Vanilla lemon is sparkling and very fresh and sweet.It is not as long lasting as the other lavanila fragrances but this is a good choice for someone that likes to use more natural products.Even though I really liked this scent I love my light blue better.You can smell citrus fruits and bamboo very watery and clean.Then the vanilla comes in very sweet.I think that it needed some sort of a woodsy note with the vanilla to help ground the scent.I would not call this a gourmand fragrance but a watery sweet citrus.You wont smell like lemon pie or pudding.A very good natural lemon fragrance.If you already have light blue I wouldn't bother purchasing this unless your wanting to go more natural.It is a very breezy summery beach type of scent and another well done fragrance by lavanila.I'm hoping they do an orange dreamsicle fragrance I would buy that for sure!

I don't like Chanel No. 5. However, I have never once felt compelled to proclaim to all the men and women that love and wear this fragrance--that have wonderful, treasured memories of it--that the concoction smells like "old beauty powder, cat piss, and wilted flowers", and then go on to snarkily "congratulate" them on smelling like "rotten peaches and plastic powder." Firstly, that isn't at all what No. 5 smells like--that's just a histrionic rant for dramatic effect, and is probably a indication of personal maturity more than anything else. Secondly, it's in extremely poor taste. Basic manners go a very, very long way. I'm not sure when restraint went out of fashion. But I do deeply wish it would come back in.

You know, now I'm a little inspired to give No. 5 another opportunity in the near future.

All overall lovely presentation in white bottle. The scent is very creamy opens with a blast of french labdanum and a hint of nutmeg, the lemon note are not exsisting her or i cant smell them in the opening.
Labdanum stays on the skin for long time then a hint of rose and a dose of heliotrope join the labdanum for more smooth,sweet version. I cant smell any jasmin or mimose her.After some time benzoin notes join the blend giving definition and sharpness for the other ingredients,there is a slightly note of patchouli and vetiver but they are very airy and does not stay for a long.In the end the musky notes are join the other notes to balance the sweetness,round it and to give it the silky touch. Lovely fragrance not that rich and complex as the oryginal one but definitely worth try.

I bought this based on peoples reviews that said it smelt like Noir de Noir from TF which I received as a Christmas present.

This was a blind purchase online and as its so cheap I thought why not esp if it passes for TF.

Well I can say they do smell slightly similar and I do like this perfume, its long wearing and was worth taking a chance on... however to me its missing the Xfactor of Noir de Noir which is currently my favourite but at £200 for 100ml, gift or not I will be using it sparingly.

Oh My! I just tested out this one today and I LOVE IT! YAY =)

It started out a bit fresh citrusy and salty, almost like a Light Blue D&G intro... and that kinda worried me because I'm not into those kinds of smells anymore. But after the initial fresh burst...it morphed into a beautiful flowery sweet scent.

And after a couple of hours the perfume deepens and the base notes (the amber, cedar and musk) combine with a flowery topping and OMG its Heaven in a sniff LOL =)

It smells so beautiful and its so elegant but kinda daring...very very well blended. I was truly impressed today. The projection is really good and the longevity...wow...just fantastic!

This perfume shall BE mine!!! =p

I think I might like this more as a Home Fragrance or Room Spray. The lime makes this too sharp for me to wear as a perfume and even as it has dried down, it doesn't have that feel of a perfume. Too cold feeling. It doesn't have the sensuality that a Lily scent should have.

I have the roll on EdP and I'm willing to swap.

Seriously better than the original. This one is pure class.

7/10

It's pretty good. On my skin, it's similar to Polo Double Black with the strong coffee, nutmeg, and mango notes. It's similar to Polo DB with those notes and the general smell, but more powdery than Polo, which has a more smoky vibe to it. In the end, I'd say I'd prefer Polo over this, as Polo is slightly less linear than this one with its fresh mango pepper top, smoky coffee nutmeg pepper mid and sweet patchouli woodsy base. Rocawear is fresh at the top and then dries down to the powdery mid and base similar to Polo's. Give them both a shot and see which you like better.

Great for a weekend day at the park with family. Fresh and clean with a little something extra to make it a little bit more appealing than a regular "day-time" frag. I dont find it to last too long on my skin. Its a non offensive crowd pleaser in my opinion. Rooty tooty fresh and fruity :)

This stuff makes my eyes watery and induces a head ache. That pretty much sums it up.

It is nice, yeah, complex enough citrus fragrance it is. You probably would like it if you try it. The problem for me is that it is sweet without kick, other than that, nice one. Would not buy it or wear it though.

Intrigued by this one. But it is a little too floral with a musky undertone to my nose. Mature scent in my opinion. If someone gave it to me I would try and make it work, but as a 33 year old man, I dont think its for me.

Uffy =(... So today i went to Sephora to try out some of the perfumes that i added to my "test list"... and this was the 1st one out of the 3 that i checked out today. I soooo wanted to have this perfume in my collection (well..growing collection for now) but i guess it's just not meant to be. Bummer!

I was so drawn to this bottles design and the name and everything really... but to my horror, i just couldn't deal with the smell =(

On first spray ALL i could smell was Star Anise!!! and really that would be amazing if the scent wouldn't make my stomach turn...something about it just doesn't sit well with me...not in food and apparently now not even in perfumes... i just cant stand it!

After a few minutes it started to calm down and i could smell the Licorice and the sweetness of it... after a few hours the Anise and Licorice smell was gone and it was so sweet, peachy and flowery, that it almost made me rethink my decision and just buy it. But the thought of having to smell Anise for 1h...i just cant do it =( I'm sorry but this one is not for me... so so sad =(

Anyway - for those of u that like lady Anise, i think u'll be really happy with this perfume. Its sweet, sexy and elegant. The projection is fantastic and the lasting power as well (i can still smell it 8 hours later after having put lotion over it and used a tanning bed).... what more can i say... its a really good perfume... unfortunately, just not for me.

Seriously overused fragrance, that smells of minty ginger with a touch of not that sweet fresh mandarin. Nothing special, really, doesn't smell amazing. I mean, it is not all that bad, but reminds me of how popular it is.

5/10

Spicy and dirty ginger with mint. Puarghh. Kenzo, you can do better.

3/10

I am just now getting around to this one. After testing about 15 other fragrances at the counter I came across this frag. I took a sniff expecting to hate it. Nope. Fell. In. Love. For a day time, sporty scent, I love it. Very interesting when you first spray it. After about an hour it started smelling like a classier, sweeter Kenneth Cole Reaction to me..But in a good way. I dont normally do "day-time" colognes but I think I might have to purchase this one.
*UPDATE*
After smelling it more it actually reminds me VERY much of CK Intense Euphoria. But a bit better.

My mom used to wear it to work when I was a kid, so I have always catagorized it as a grown up, serious fragrance. It is a very refreshing floral. It has the same clean and soapy vibe as Chloe Love, but just the vibe, they are totally different. This is full of personality and very much like chanel fragrances. It is very seriously feminine. Unique.

Way better than the original. I recommend it, smells different, imagine squeezing lemons into the original one and less flower and more wood, definitely a great fragrance.

8/10

This is a classic. I mean, you surely cannot go wrong with this one. You need to try it though, I cannot assure you'll like it, and also it seems to be quite popular, but aside from that, safe one.

8/10

This is really bland, at first I loved it dearly, then realized this is NOT a chypre, this is POWDERY and a boring fruity floral without presence. Perfect as a gift to someone you don't know, everybody likes it, obviously because it's just so normal and boring. I can't really imagine someone not liking this. It smells like you just ran through a perfume shop while spritzing everything at hand. Just like that but mixed with water. *snore*

It reminds me of the London night scene. Such a smooth and sexy fragrance cannot be missed.

10/10

This is SO shit. Can't believe it is paired with Body Kouros.

2/10

Pentachords white starts with what smells like a dainty little vanilla bean cake decorated with violet petals, sitting pretty on a rosewood shelf, in the most expensive pastry shop in the city. AT FIRST. Because at first, It's all flour and pastry, but not sweet. It's even a little... salty!?

but then.....

After a few minutes, I get a very strong Drum Tobacco scent, warm and rich. This is the closest I've ever come to the scent of flavored tobacco in perfume. And there isn't any tobacco note in here! Have you ever had loose drum tobacco at the bottom of an old leather purse? you'll know what I mean, then.

I LOVE when a synthetic vanilla note is played so that it smells like a vanilla bean with none of the vanillin extract sweetness that I'm not always fond of. This is a soft, woodsy, ozonic, vanilla bean and I love it. I could eat it, I could bathe in its white splendor.... but I'm getting carried away. Let's get going, shall we?

Pure genius. The notes are dancing around on my skin and I do not quite understand what is going on... but that's ok. In fact, it is marvelous! I'm a big fan of abstract art and this perfume is really taking me for a ride. This is modern perfumery well done and it warms my heart. Because beautiful perfumery doesn't have to be dead and a thing of the past. It can evolves with us towards a future filled with exciting new scents.

the dry down to me, smells like an old musty book, a vase of irises, vanilla drops and more tobacco. It is still and peaceful. I do see everything bathed in a hazy white light in my head....Simply divine, and it immediately became my favorite violet.

And a question to finish... in perfumery, is weird a bad thing? I wonder...

You have it, you hate it, I'll swap for it. This baby belongs with me:)

This is in another level, specially compared to the original. It is not that sweet, a bit fresher, and smells classy. Nutmeg doesn't stand out, and I want to say it is a superb scent.

9/10

Say what you will, there is not enough hate in the world to express my feelings towards this pile of crap. Everyday I wonder why chanel perfumes smell so weird. I've got three of them: 5, 19 and chance. 5 and chance are the biggest olfactory dissapointment I ever had. Leave alone the old lady scent, and the wilted flowers, this is not fresh or clean. This is a soap that hasn't been used in twenty years and gathered dust and dirt. I've tried (I've seriously tried, believe me) to at least find the beauty within the awful smell, but I just can't. My dad gave it to me as a gift when he came back from china, it's the refillable bottle version. When I saw the interlocking C's I think I almost shat my pants. After a wave of thankyous and hugs I sprayed it on and put my best THIS IS AMAZING while puking inside. Scrubbed it off. Put it away on a drawer where it still is. I won't give it away since my mother uses it every once in a while, but this just smells.so.bad. It's not chic, it smells cheap as any avon perfume that has turned , well it smells like turned perfume. Its crap, garbage. Overpriced juice. This is just not worth all the rave. I've had it for five years now, and every time I sample it (never really used since I.can't stand it) I just think about tossing it into the trash can. You can find things this bad for cheaper. And every time someone says "yum chanel no. 5" I'm like "have you REALLY smelled it?" Just to be clear, I've got the edp and my mom the edt, and I hate them both. If you want to smell like no.5 just throw some old beauty powder, cat piss and wilted flowers. And I swear that If one day I change my mind I'll leave my pride aside and I'll swallow my words. Until then this is my view on this iconic fragrance. Cheers to you on smelling like rotten peaches and plastic powder, I truly envy you for being able to say I'm WEARING NO. 5 and everybody looking up at you.

One million son s . commun smell for night. sillage veri bad, but its not expensive. doesn t a Spicebomb.

I picked up a 3.3 oz bottle at TJ Maxx or Marshalls for $7 like a few others here. Bought it blind but what I'd read about it intrigued me. At that price, it's certainly a worthwhile buy. Very woody, light, and clean. For me, longevity is on the poor side. It devolves to a skin scent within 3-4 hours. That's OK for me, though. I don't need everyone to smell a lumber yard when I walk by.

NickE ReauX: JL did write the song as an ode to an affair he was having but didn't want Cyn to know about it. Thus, Norwegian Wood was rather obtuse. It's widely thought that when he "lit a fire," it was a reference to smoking pot, which he and the others were heavily into at the time.

Absolutely love it! It is a very suitable sweet scent for Spring/Summer days or nights. So delicate, I am in love. The only thing I did not like about it - it does not last :-( Even though I will buy a bottle!

Tauer does lavender and it is like nothing I've experienced before! I almost gave up on my quest for a lavender scent until I met this beautiful, modern, vibrant one. No old fashioned, herbal lavender here, no masculine vibe, no harsh peppery notes. It's very feminine, a little gourmand and totally playful and sunny!

You can definitely sense the Tauer signature here, the woodsy/ambery vanilla/tonka bean base. It reminds me of a lavender flavored jam. It is very sweet on me. A cousin of Rose Vermeille even.... Lavender vermeille? I do not get a balsam fir like the ones that give you that nice conifer forest vibe and I wish it was a little less sweet, but still, a fantastic lavender scent. Very original and fun to wear, a mood lifter!

Chrome Legend one word spectacular! if haven't tried this you need too its great stuff just like the regular chrome it lasts all day long and projects greatly so don't spray on too much but back to the scent i can't fully explain it but its kind of citrusy powdery IDK overall its a really clean scent great stuff i own all of the azzaro chrome lines they're all compliment getters P.S. you can wear it year round but its even better in the summer or in warm weather or office

This fragrance is very similar to Happy Spirit Magical Night, but less sweet and warm. It smells more of bergamot, raspberries and pink pepper, and less Carmel and cocoa. The fragrance is perfect for spring and summer evenings ...

I also have to add. Be aware that this one smells very strong when you first spritz it. Many people walk away thinking omg smells old ! But let it settle for a few min and the richness appears. Rich sweet stunning vanilla amber layered in mandarins and rose.heavenly indeed. In fact it has the richness and sweetness of the original Cherie with the caramel and popcorn. It's just better and a little more classy.

the closest thing ive ever found, that actually smells like wood, and wood alone.

I would agree this is unisex. It seemed almost too masculine at first, but it quickly dried down to a powdery (but not overwhelmingly so), woody, comforting tea scent. I think this would be awesome on a cold winter day while curled up in a cashmere sweater with a cup of earl grey tea.

Disclaimer: I have a cold today (possibly tonsillitis?), so my sniffer is a little weaker than usual.

I have 10 ml bottle of this perfume, which is a very concentrated perfume extract, and i will guide it as a treasure. It really is a special piece worth keeping as a collectible.

Pretty, but I find it a bit too sweet. But that's just my preference. I think I'm just not one for completely floral perfumes. I tend toward floral/woody/musk scents. But regardless, it's extremely well done, and would smell wonderful on the right person!

This scent HAS been changed somewhat over the years (and has added the foul and totally unnecessary flanker, Brut Musk, as well as some pretty decent flankers), but Brut is still one of the very best inexpensive "macho male" fragrances. My Dad tried it, but my Mom liked it on him more than he liked it on himself (he was pretty much an Old Spice guy), so I swiped his bottle and used it! It was my first experience using male scent, and it smelled great on me! I think the coumarin and anise are what makes Brut different and delightful.
On me it smells mossy yet sweet, clean but with a slightly animalic note that adds a sense of danger. Of course, in Junior High I got some flak for wearing a male cologne, but at that time I wore men's clothes pretty much all the time anyways, so I was used to it.
It's true that the more expensive "Brut Classic" smells more like the original Brut than what is sold in the drugstore, but either one is excellent.
Even the aftershave splash, which is what I used most often as a teen, has good longevity and sillage.

Practically identical notes to the 2012 with the exception of Oakmoss it seems.....I imagine there isn't much difference in smell...My guess is this will be a pointless buy if you already have 2012. Otherwise 2012 smells AWESOME, so I also imagine this one does too! :)

All my favourite notes. The musk amber base with the vanilla is what makes this so deluxe. Wish I could be it here in Canada

ADG we meet again. This is one of those loud "in your face" "I'm the nineties but can't get enough of the eighties" fragrance. At least thats the first spray. As always, I can't tell if Armani perfumes are truly aquatic since they are quite strong, good sillage and longevity. Reminds me of Wings by Giorgio Beverly Hills, but this is better put together, it's not annoyongly sweet, and because of the white florals it smells quite soft. On me it has quite the sillage, I've caught my own whiffs thinking ERMEGHERD WHO'S WEARING THAT GORGEOUS FRAG? Then smelling the neck of my shirt and yeah, It was me. Really pretty on it's own, before the drydown some may complain about the "shampoo" smell, well let me tell you, If there was such a gorgeous smelling shampoo I'd stock on it. Period. I can barely smell the vodka, so don't worry you won't be reeking of alcohol. I can' even pick it up and I'm almost glued yto my wirst. To me this is: prominent white flowers, first jasmine, then peony, then lily of the valley, then peaches and pineapple. With a tinge of lemon in the background, but not like lemon juice, it's more like a dry lemon, or a candied lemon(? Anyways, very classy, all age apropriate. For this review my grammy lend it to me, she's been wearing ADG since it came out.

Is this still available. Wow this looks good!!!!

Update. When it settles the insincere smell still comes out. So to me this is not a frag I will wear a lot. Great for a dinner out or even a party etc but this could never be a daily scent for me. Lasting power great. It's very in your face though. Spray carefully one or two spritzer are all you need. It's portend !

I'm finding that I really love this fragrance. I dismissed it the last time I purchased a fragrance at Barney's, opting instead for Byredo's Gypsy Water. I thought this one to initially smell ok, like something clean, but nothing special. I should have waited longer for it to develop.

It's truly beautiful, and I think this might just be the soft, classy, 'me' scent I've been searching for. My kids and hubby thought it smelled wonderful, and a coworker yesterday commented that I smelled very good! I think this fits me, if that makes sense. Yes, it's light, but persistent...I still get whiffs of it hours later. It does play close to the skin, but I don't want to wear something that enters a room before me. I want to wear the scent, not have the scent wear me.

This is one of those fragrances which I believe is loved by all Men. It's just oozing with sex appeal. I have loved it for years and definitely won't stop. Sassy, sexy and saucy. Haven't smelt another like it. I know it is compared to some Avon fragrance but I really don't think so at all.

I really really miss this fragrance!!! I do have a bit of a collection now so won't be buying another one soon (as my bf keeps telling me off for buying more lol) plus I will become bankrupt if I carry on. But once ive run out of one or two I just HAVE to have this again! I LOVE IT SO MUCH, and I think it will replace my Alien perfume as my signature. It's modern,unique and sassy and every time I smell it in a shop I just fall in love again and again.
Soon I will have you back oh beautiful 212 Sexy!

Cuir de russie, is quite the lady! Immediately I picture Angelina Jolie in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. One minute she's a high class business woman, then a leather clad dominatrix, then a quick fisted hit woman! Through all of this though is a regal, smooth uncompromised elegance. The leather is prominent but quality, no burnt smoke here. There is a lady like powdery finish. I see it being more suited for the ladies, because I think the lads have so many leather fragrances at their disposal and the powder note might be strong for some mens taste. If you get the chance to sample this please do, it was nice to compare this leather to the one in My Gris.

This is perfect option for those of you, who like Lacoste Pour Femme, but think, that it is too strong. Aqua Chic is like the light, fresh and crisp daytime version vearable in spring time and maybe summer time. And it smells really almost the same to me.

GREETINGS FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC! :)

for me its remind me to the sean john unforgivable..its nice and safe fragrance...

Congratulations to Yatagan for making it from 1978 to date. There might be some unseen qualities in the frag that my nose could not detect, although I do appreciate the piny accords that resemble a forest, not green, but in decay, after a long rain. In that sense it is evocative, piny and resinous, as one mentioned. But when worn, one forgets all the romantic adjectives, and asks himself “Why this cologne is on me...?”. Good work of perfumery, but not for me.

The reason why I don't own this fragrance is that it's too common in my enviroment. There was a period, when I could smelled it everywhere! It's cheap and a crowdpleaser. But there's something on this scent that I really like.

When I must describe it in one sentence: It's sophisticated.

I'm waiting for the day, when this scent will slip in oblivion (which I doubt). Than I will pour myself with it. Lol.

As far as fragrance is concerned, I wear both women and men's, but even this is just a bit too masculine for me. However, it's a nice sandalwood and cedar scent with perhaps a bit of petrol thrown in for effect. Very smooth for a classy, yet sensual man.

What a scent! I'm glad I bought it. Looks like it's going to chart its way to becoming one of my favorites. My daughter loves it too. Husband, on the other hand, said it smelt like something a man would wear but he wasn't there for the dry down when this really comes into its own. Though Mitsouko remains my signature, lei is going to be the fragrance of choice for days I want to take a break from my first love! Air Supply's beautiful lyrics come to mind here, 'even lovers need a holiday...'

Similar to Bijan Nude. Smells like paper, and laundry that got forgotten wet in the washing machine. A bit moldy almost.
I think musk and tangerine together is the culprit?
The top notes are nice, but after that - no thanks.
ZERO lasting power and sillage btw. ZERO.

It's probably not a warm weather/Spring perfume but I am wearing it anyway.I receive so many complements when I wear this.

OK, I finally found this version in my local Sephora. I think that the newest version is equally in quality to this, but yes, I can see differences.

I don't feel the herbal-citrusy beggining here. From the start I get a strong make-up or lipstick smell instead. This lasts quite a while and evolves into very leathery drydown. Yes, I feel the leather here quite clearly. Unfortunately I don't get any "pure" cardamom note. This version has bigger sillage at the beggining, but has shorter longevity instead comparing to Dior Homme 2011.

I think I'd like it more if I knew this version first... But know I'd say I fell in love with the new version and it's a must have for me. However, I'm glad I tried and have about 10 ml of this one.

If you ever wanted to pour a full glas of Piña colada on yourself, this one will be for you.

My last bottle of Innocence is almost empty. It’s a beautiful fragrance, very light, but still full of contradictions like most Mugler fragrances: Innocence is sweet (dark chocolate note), but at the same time clean and cold (clean musk and pine) and the fruits (red berries mostly) are very subtle. For my nose Inocence has very little resemblance to Angel eau de toilette - the former has an aura of exclusiveness and delicacy while the latter smells like loud and vulgar contemporary gourmand fragrance. The only negative aspect is that Innocence does not stay on my skin for more than 4 hours.

At first I didn't really know what to think of it: I couldn't make my mind up if it was good or not..

Now I find that it smells nice. Girly, fresh, and not heavy.

Good & cheap perfume!

Surprised to see that there are so many bad reviews about this perfume! I absolutely adore this perfume! I want to buy another bottle because mine is almost empty, but I can't find it anymore..

It's a very good perfume! very floral!

This had me at woody/balmy/aromatic, unfortunately it lost me shortly thereafter when I sampled it. I usually love anything with those notes but NOT Norne. NO. It smells like a pine forest that has been set on fire. I know a lot of people love it, and generally I am very adventurous with scents (which drew me to Slumberhouse to begin with) and while there is no denying this is unique, to my nose it is NOT pleasant at all. Sorry :(

This is the Slumberhouse scent that I thought I would like the best, but it was quite the opposite. My advice: if you are thinking about blind buying Slumberhouse, DON'T DO IT! I'm so glad I got samples first and saved myself $100.00

I will be sticking to my beloved Estee Lauder Sensuous Noir for my pine fix. For now :)

I bought it this summer, and I'm glad I did! When you don't really want a heavy perfume that gives you and the people around you headaches, and you like the smell when you're walking into a garden full of flowers, this is the smell for you.

Yes, it is kind of a "light" perfume, but it just makes you feel good. It's perfect for in the summer!

ForrealMe2 yes I use to wear this a lot in my days to the bars. To me this is cool stuff and yes very 80 s lol my husband always says oh all my girlfriends smelled of this. So I gave mine away. And yes all my girlfriends smelled of this as well lol. Grape juice yes! Oddly enough it's plum yes.

I used to have the old bottle, and like a few months ago I got the new bottle.

My mom says it smells amazing, because she likes soft parfumes, and at first I thought it smelled nice too, but now I changed my mind, the smell is just not for me. it smells like chocolade milk.

A good thing about this perfume: It's very longlasting & you can smell it from a few metres distance. Whenever I pass by a friend, they say that they smell me before they see me. Also Other friends say that it smells like chocolate milk, so i'm not the only one.

Conclusion : It's not a bad perfume, you just have to be into vanilla & warm smells (no fruity smell etc) very much.

So I heard this was also reformulated. dior did it to all his frags. Still don't know why but I like them all better now than before. Go with the flow. It's good to modernize old scent and make them better. I am on site with Dior. I love most of his stuff except for the Jadore line. It's too dressy for me. To mature I suppose. But good stuff.

barf. Burberry scents just dont impress me that much. This one especially.

the smell from the tester bottle differs from the smell of the new bottle i purchased. it's supposed to be light and fresh, instead it was too strong even for just two sprays and triggered my allergy. i just wasted my $$$ on this one. pffffttt!!! big disappointment!

The new version is way better. Look for gold band around the top. It's a nice bottle and packaged in white. Says eau de perfume on it. It's smoother. Less incense. Just superb. One of my new favorites now that it has changed. Was so smoky and a little sickening before. Too spicy. This is heaven and bourbon vanilla !!!

A femme fatale kind of image shop assistant smelt amazing so I asked he what she was wearing... I went straight down the perfume dept and sprayed Black Orchid. I like it- bit I'm afraid it makes me feel sick after a while. I'm not sure which note is too heavy for me. I can appreciate it but it's not for me! You definitely need a striking image to wear this.

Like it but don't reach for it much. My husband says it smells like candy and reminds him of flowerbomb extreme. I agree. It's nice. More for colder days Gourmand !

Want to know what this smells like? Go buy a tin of pipe tobacco. Stick your face in it. Voila!

No but seriously, my dad smoked a pipe for many of my childhood years and Jeke is exactily what his tin of tobacco smelled like.

So this is very realistic tobacco scent - I like tobacco scents but this one is a bit of an overdose of tobacco, for me anyway. If this sounds good to you, you would love it!

On my skin this is a very strong fragrance reminiscent of a grandmother's favorite drugstore scent. Or the smell of all the perfumes blending together at the fragrance counter. Now that isn't a bad thing, but it does scream "I am wearing perfume!" I get balmy, powder, with a hint of sweet. My husband said it smelled "potent, and for someone older". It's definitely got something, not like the caramel sweetness of Jessica Simpson's Fancy. When I first put it on I thought of my Nana and a good friend of mine, both heavy smokers. Good smoker's perfume. It's a dirty, Boozy sweet, I don't think the candy is referring so much to the scent as the blonde tart on the box. Candy is sweet, but can be so so bad ;-)

Heritage is wonderful stuff!

It starts out with an olfactory trick or a misapprehsion on my part: I think I smell cacao bean (a vaguely chocolate smell), but it can't be. It's mildy gourmand, like Guerlain L'Instant. Then it softly becomes what I detect as floral - lavender. And then, at the end, it makes an undetectable transition to the same soft white musk that forms the basenote for Mugler Cologne. Or is it sandalwood and powder? I'm not sure! This scent is a trickster... note all the reviews below mentioning a vanilla note. And yet there's no vanilla or even tonka bean listed on the pyramid (but they are mentioned in the text).

I'm new to fragrances; understanding what this scent is all about is a really good test for me.

As other reviewers note, Heritage is symphonic. It's richly textured and subtle. It reminds me of Yatagan in that respect (understanding that Yatagan is an entirely different genre)... I'm pretty sure I'm not getting all that it contains. It needs repeated "playings."

The sillage isn't extreme on me; it seems to sit close to my skin, as just about all scents do. I did four sprays on skin and two on a cotton tee shirt.

Anyway, I primarily classify Heritage as a floral - and it's the only floral I'd wear. That's how good I think it is!

I do not understand, this does not smell like the notes mentioned here, you should include CEST in the orange part. It is very similar to Boucheron Trouble to me.

It smells dry and bitter. The only thing I enjoy so far is that it smells quite expensive.

Big thanks to daisymargueritte for the generous decant! <3

UPDATE
Oops looks like I rushed to judgement on this one . I sprayed it again yesterday layering with comptoir sud pacifique pineapple but the pineapple swamped it so no good,however I must have got some on the bed sheets because last night there was a lovely sweet vanilla smell which took me a while to figure where it came from . The harshness is still there on initial spray but this is growing on me luckily I didn't give it away hastily , think my new motto will be give something new a few tries before dismissing it!

I love love love this perfume. It's such an original scent. Herbal, but fresh. Easy to wear, natural, not offensive but definitely not boring. A bit sharp, though somewhere in the back it has some softness.
The lasting power is great. After hours I can still smell it.
I don't like the bottle, the box and the ad as much though, but oh well, who cares? It's about the scent anyway.
Right now I've got a sample but I'd buy it for sure!

Well, at first I said "wow it is beautiful". Then, when it settles, it becames something that I can't describe, not my cup of tea. But I decided to give it another chance. Reading the little description on the box they talk about clover leaves and flowers. And I said yes! This strange smell depends on clover, a wild field of clover! I don't know if I will fall in love with this fragrance, but I undestood the meaning of it. And I appreciated this work, just because it is really spring.

ForrealMe2 I love it. I adore it actually and just bought another baby bottle of the eau de perfume ( new ) its my families favorite. I have two boys they always comment how good I smell :) personally I like the le perfume the best as it has most character and warmth because of the amber base. But the new eau de perfume is a bit fresher and lighter and just so perfect in this hot humid weather. The little 30 ml is adorable I also got the new Dior addict today as a go out scent. It's much better than the old addict which was too smoky for me. Which one is your favourite of the Miss Dior ? Since this is subject related :) still so glad you recommended le perfume. It's just out of this world to me!!!

I think this is one of the most underrated Chanel fragrances. I don’t understand why it didn’t become as popular as Coco Mademoiselle or Chance. Actually, I’m glad it isn’t, as I wouldn’t want to wear a perfume that is so common. I have been wearing it since it first came out and I just can’t get enough of it. It is perfectly blended. To me it is a very clean and sexy perfume. It is definitely not old ladyish. But not girly either. Nothing is too much in this. It wouldn’t offend anyone. Perfect for all occasions. I occasionally try other fragrances as well. I can get tired of any other fragrance so easily. But nothing beats this. Without Allure in my life, something would be missing, and I wouldn’t even know what it was. I am so grateful to Jacques Polge for creating this masterpiece.
This is “Difficult to define, impossible to resist”.

Givenchy Gentleman is a Classical masterpiece. Although, I don't think this scent can be called "dated" and "old-fashioned" when it is compared to so many modern releases on the niche fragrance market? Bond No. 9 (H.O.T), Etro (Patchouly), Reminiscence (Patchouli Homme) etc. This to me is the ultimate masculine patchouli scent and is evidently highly relevant to modern male perfumery. However, Gentleman delivers a double punch combination, when it hits you with a big Russian leather glove. This heavy patchouli/leather combo makes it extremely powerful and masculine, especially by today's standards, where everything has to be toned down, candy sweet and unisex. Even the latest reformulation, which has been toned down a notch, will still be too much for some people.

This was my signature scent in my early twenties when I was a young Executive, working in London. I wore over-priced Armani suits and had an over-ambitious ego. Hence, it is the scent of my youth, hard days at the office and long wild nights fuelled with women, wine and cigars! It is a nostalgic cologne for me, I still wear it and I still love it. Pure class.

Just recived my sample. At first I dabbed just a little bit on my skin and it smelled like really mediocre fresh fragrance. Then I used it more generously and then there was more depth in it. But it's still fresh and fresh scents don't work with my chemistry at all. :(

The Sensuous line really doesn't work well for me. I really wanted to like this one as on paper it sounds heavenly but on me its pure woodsy with almost a pineapple smell - the tropical notes coming out but with nothing inbetween to blend it - slightly reminds me of Burberry Body in that way.

Ok I just bought this new formulation and absolutely love it. Much more wearable than its former kind. It's less incense but still very similar to prior. Wow. Much better I didn't own the first. Or no I did when it first came out and I couldn't love it. I wore it in the winter at night and that was about it. I gave it to a friend because it was weird to me. Not bad but weird. This one is very much the same with the odd notes removed. Making it much more likable :)

To me this smells like one of my grandmothers perfumes but not sure which one. This is not a good thing however, as although I love my Grandmother very much, I really do not want to smell like her! I found this with the Nude version as well - I think its the Woodsy notes that come through too musty and old to me.

Bought another one today for purse. A 30 ml baby bottle it's so adorable I absolute love it. Seems to be my families favourite. As well as mine.

beautiful feminine wood, it is exactly as it say's on the bottle ;-)

As I write this review for Mitsouko EDP, there is a sense of reverence with a touch of awe, the kind a child has when he notices something splendid for the first time. We’ve always known that the sense of smell activates cerebral matter on a scale, incomparable to the other four senses. A fragrance can take you through your mind's eyes and beyond the quantum fields of time and space... almost like a time machine that lands you in a place where all your other senses get activated. Mitsouko does this for me... takes me on a journey. She is a complex muse who allows my mind to travel to far reaching edges, wherever she chooses to take me, on a whim, on a breeze, on any given day. Mitsouko is not just another fragrance, she is a masterpiece, layered in complex waves, the same way a canoe ride through an underground cavern, where sunlight plays hide and seek with you, does, as you navigate the subterranean waterways, or like a solitary walk through a damp cedar forest, high up in the hills evokes sights and smells which take you to different places in your mind. There is beauty here that walks hand in hand with melancholy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not usually wierd like this, well, apart from the fact that I write books for a living. And, as you must already know, a writer’s working life, is in most part, one of solitary reverie, lived in islands of isolation. That’s changed for me now, through what I consider, a marvellous mystic intervention. Mitsouko has slowly befriended me, become my constant companion in my self-created bubble of creativity. If this sounds strange to you, for what is apparently supposed to be a review of yet another perfume in the bustling marketplace, and all you really wanted to know was, what base notes, mid notes and top notes this perfume carries, well...what can I say... please read hundreds of reviews that precede this one. Because I cannot categorize her as yet another fragrant bauble or trophy in my possession. Mitsouko is an entity and brings out the lyricist and poet in me. While I can’t promise she will do the same for you, I can tell you this, if you allow her, give her some time, she will take you on a timeless journey, one that casts a spell of enchantment, of your own making.

Quite a nice spicy aromatic scent. It's like Dirty English but a little rougher and less pleasant. D.E. is MUCH nicer than this one.

I bought this as a blind buy and it has been one of the best fragrances I have ever owned! Smells fresh, clean, soft. Just like the clouds on the package and bottle, it gives you that airy, floaty feeling. It is not an invasive scent at all. Perfect for summer!

There's nothing that seperates this floral-fruity cocktail (and that's what it smells like)from those mass market celeb frags. To me it smells very similar to Demeter's Between The Sheets from their Happy Hour Collection. I expected more from this house.

A strong lily note dominates this scent. I am also picking up the lilac note and ironically smells just like the floral bouquet scented air freshener I bought 2 days before my package arrived. Unfortunately, this seems to be an issue with a lot of perfumes that use lilac as a note. i will continue the lilac search once again.

Balsam pine incense cones. Similar to Parfums d' Empire's Wazamba though the latter is more pleasant.

Roses, pepper and celery(?)
This is a nice rose that asserts itself upfront with a peppery opening, mellowing down a bit after 15 minutes but still maintains it's spicy directness. There's something secure about being in it's company. After 30 minutes I am getting a herbaceous note like celery, which makes this perfume more peculiar. Interesting creation.

smells cheap and I got nauseated and felt I might puke after spraying this on me in the store...

Germany: what did u think of regular Miss Dior?How does it compare from old to new?

Smells Like Starbursts!

I can definitely smell those strong berry notes! I actually really like it, I wouldn't pay full price but I'd definitely pick it up on sale.

It's gorgeous if you just want to smell.... edible. Which strangely enough I often do ;-) I really like the Taylor Swift Fragrances.

smells just like Malibu musk spray I wore in high school

Play It Rock is very lovely for it's price! It's definitely oriental. The scent itself is linear, strong vanilla and something spicy underneath. I really, really like this. Could easily be a designer frag, if only it had better lasting power. On me it's like three to four hours, which is sad. Sillage is medium, not too strong but enough for others to smell this on me. Don't mind the Playboy brand, give it a try!

i used to use ananya oil for potpourri.. and to burn in the house with a candle oil burner ..15 years ago.. i loved the smell ..but i never thought i could take it in as a body perfume..recently i went to body shop and there was a purple plastic 100 ml that said ananya body mist.. and it was on sale.. half price.. so i got it.. and to my surprise it was still wonderful.. it still smells the same.. in this ever changing world of perfumes we live in..
maybe now that i'm older.. i can take heavier scents.. i still can't wear it regularly.. i still didnt use it even once.. i just spray it as a room spray.. and i still smell wonderful ..but those who can take such accords ..it smells divine.. it smells like the sent of burning candles ..its warm.. seuale ..powdery.. stange floraly.. woodsy.. its a unique characteristic.. scent perfect for winter nights.. and its a perfume that everyone will notice u in.. its so characteristic.. it could easily be a signature scent.. it smells like when you walk into an exotic flower shop with candles ..its waxy ..sweet.. a bit cloying ..too many strong flowers.. ylang ylang.. jasmine.. fresia.. violet.. tuberose.. rose.. a luscious garden.. layered with vanilla.. musk.. sandalwood.. coconut.. with top notes of juicy.. succulent.. peach.. melon.. and crisp bergamot.. thats hardly there.. but just envelops and freshens the whole composition..its a perfume of the garden of eve.. truly an exotic scent.. out of this world..everlasting ..
ananya means selfish in arabic.. and i think this perfume is selfish.. for its so strong.. and will take over everything else.. its so strong ..unique.. and confident ..and in your face.. does not hide or shy away..

Love the whole Miss Dior line. Old and new. I have near tried this one though I think I would miss the mandarin and amber which makes the others of its kind so special to me. But is m excited to sniff this. Haven't seen it at my local Dior counter nor at shoppers?

Perfectly blended with soft, masculine.
Unbeatable flavor, and sympathy for the people.
You can wear anytime, anywhere. Stupid that night and in the winter, do not be deceived.
Currently, there is no better taste!

I am still kind of on the fence for this one, pleasant but generic. The wysteria is lovely and unique, but it does fade a bit fast.

If it weren't for the bottle, this would have gone into the swap-pile. The blue is an absolutely gorgeous shade of turquoise, almost an indigo-teal color. Blue is my favorite color, and this is a beautiful shade of blue...so I keep it.

I can't wear this due to the praline note, for some reason that and honeysuckle don't smell great on me. It smelt amazing on my mother though. I might pick it up for her birthday. Sweet, fruity and fun. The bottle is also gorgeous, who wouldn't want it in their collection?

I saw, smelled, and instantly bought it. I was looking for a substitute for two of my beloved fragrances as simply too many women have them. First is Jean Paul Gaultier EDP Classique and second is Dior Hypnotic Poison. I love them so much but simple every 2nd woman in Switzerland and Germany has it. I went to the store today, thought it would be a waste of my time as usual and saw it.. last bottle on the shelf, calling me... I never saw it before and would have never ever thought of buying a van cleef & arpels fragrance as I simply hate First. But here it was, sweet amber, vanilla, orchid with some spice to it. Oh my lovely First Love where have you been hiding from me in the past 3 years when I was looking for you everywhere. I won`t let you go - ever. For myself the perfect substitute for the above mentioned fragrances although it doesn`t smell like them. It´s more like a mix of them both. They made love and this one is their baby. Happy smelling :) Somewhere in the drydown this baby turns into the little, nasty & cute sister of Habanita. While Habanita drives her motorcycle and wears leather pants, this sister here comes with a lollipop and rollerblades. Love it. If I would have to compare it to a body product it would be Africa Shea Butter & Sesame Oil Body Balm by Body Shop as somebody down below compares to body products.

I'm in LOVE! Shop Assistant in Superdrug sprayed this on me this morning. It's been a few hours now and I just can't stop sniffing my wrist. A mature fruity floral. I can definitely notice that sharp Rhubarb scent. I'm pretty sure I've smelt it somewhere before but it would still be very unique to my collection. I've recently run out of a few of the perfumes in my collection so I'm off to buy it now :-)

Chocolate Greedy takes you inside a bakeshop - a chocolate-mocha cake in your one hand, and a sponge cake in the other, then you sit by the trays of chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting. The notes tumble from chocolate powder mix to pastry, with noticeable nuts, almonds, and faint orange before settling to warm vanilla/cocoa that smells like the leftover powder at the bottom of the glass of the finished chocolate milk drink. (Think Nesquik)

Chocolate Greedy lasts a long time, with a nice projection. The “sticky/thick” quality can be cloying if sprayed more than twice on a hot day. Other than that, It’s a must-try scent for every sweet-scents lover searching for a delicious gourmand.

Thanks to ailishlu i have the privilege to own this really rare scent. I can't compare it with nothing else that i have test. It's very sharp and bitter. I can feel strongly the oak moss and the carnation flower. It is classy and grown up smell which makes you thing of a very independent woman with a strong character. It's different from everything that i have ever owned. Very distinctive and i think that it can be a unisex fragrance.

Opening with herbs notes for about 10 minutes, which a bit harsh....but if you could hold it for a while you will find tobacco note blends beautifully with clove and sandalwood. It is the only CH perfume I ever want, I don't give a damn with other CH perfumes. Stunning!

Could anyone, please, inform me if this fragrance is discontinued?

This perfume is one of the worst perfumes I ever tried. My sister has it, and every time she puts it on, I have to keep a distance as it irritates my nose. It's very very sweet, makes me feel sick. Even if you like very sweet fragrances, try it before buying it, or else you might be very disappointed of it! Disgusting...:s.


The only perfume I love from Escada is Especially. Great for summer days! :)

We've established that Sage GARNET has been misclassified as a fruity floral. So what is it? To my nose: a simple labdanum amber, golden, viscous, smooth and soothing, this is a perfect example of the genre. My sample is of the perfume oil, not the spray-on fragrance, and the texture is extremely thick.

I am quite sure that anyone who appreciates straight-up labdanum amber with little or no embellishments would like this creation. It does not stand out from the crowd, but it is very nice for what it is: labdanum amber--no more and no less! Some people find this sort of composition boring, but others revel in its sumptuousness and have become connoisseurs of the genre, which does exhibit subtle distinctions across its range.

The sweetness level of GARNET is at about the mid-point of the amber perfumes which I've tried. The vanilla is not detectable as a separate note from the amber itself in this case. I detect no flowers (gardenia?) or fruits (watermelon?) in this creation whatsoever, though they are listed among the official notes. It is possible that in the perfume oil form those components are simply smothered by the carrier oil combined with the rich amber.

I just got this fragrance in the mail yesterday. This is my second Salvatore Ferragamo fragrance and I love it. I can really smell the violet and mint. I love the opening, it is fresh and summery. I am going to take this fragrance (for day wear) on my trip to Europe in two weeks.

First dab sampling from a vintage bottled dated 1995 (it's a rectangular bottle with a different design from the one pictured). I was pleasantly surprised by everything about this one, especially ingredient quality. Longevity is excellent but it's hard for me to judge projection ("sillage") from a dab sampling. It's rather simple and the note pyramid appears accurate, with just a touch of sweetness. The balance seems very good, which is important for me with citrus scents (because of how sharp it can be), and there seems to be quite a bit of oakmoss present. Very nice!

This was an interesting fragrance. It came on very strong and spicy(which I appreciate), then appeared to fade away around the four-hour mark. However, around 8-10 hours it came back even stronger but with more vetiver and a woody accord. It seems to respond very well to body temperature. I would love it, if not for the temporary fading, but still I do want to add Casbah to my fragrance collection, due to its excellent and authentic Moroccan aroma.

Oh , I LOVE this one ! Charming is a ladylike , very French floral, soft, classic, lovely, and gently spicy.

Charming also contains geranium and cinnamon that are not listed here among the notes. The cedar note is very soft, not prominant. The black currant is noticeable throughout the drydown, lending Charming a rich, warm full bodied aspect. Sweetness of this perfume comes from the natural fragrance of the flowers, so its not too sweet, not at all candy sticky or fruity. Beautiful sandalwood embraces all the other notes and a touch of vanilla smooths the entire blend. I do not find Charming very powdery. It's more smooth, not what I think of as powdery.

At first spray, Charming seems very strong, but settles WAY down to a soft skin scent within the first 5 to 10 minutes. Charming stays on skin, hair and clothing until you wash it out. Projection is moderate. It's more subtle as time passes, but you can still get wafts of it surrounding you for as long as you wear it.

Charming is a delightful truly French floral, softly flirty, spicy, great for wear any time of day or night, in any season.

And yes, I agree, the FLORALS in Charming are similar to those found in Cacharel Anais Anais, and in Bill Blass Nude, and in Givency Amarige. In Charming, it's as if they took the BEST FLORAL aspects of those other perfumes but eliminated their other more complicating notes. Charming lets the florals take center stage.........without adding strong meaty plum, woods, or other heavy notes. Instead, Charming has a gentle touch of cinnamon to give it a flirty soft spicy character.

Actually, Charming would be a great fragrance to test first, to determine whether or not you like the basic floral blend structure of more expensive classic French florals.

A wonderful bargain, expertly blended, that lasts, and doesn't smell cheap, Charming is a great find ! VERY FRENCH ! OOOH LA LA !

@butterfly blue: Glad you're enjoying it! It's so wonderful in humid weather, never overpowering, and very refreshing. Still one of my all-time faves!

For me it is so far the best fragrance of the Parfum d'Empire-house. Love it!

Oh, my very first expensive fragrance! So "maximalistically" 90s! It reminds me all those mysterious ladies back in the 90s, who wore shoulder pads, big hair, smokey eyes, red nails and red matte lipsticks, being confident and dynamic. A chic extrvaganza from that time...Unusually modern, strong and came-to-stay fragrance, a mixture of white flowers, woods and spices.
It was released, as I recall, in the early 90s. A good friend of mine wanted to buy me a gift. So, she asked me to pick an expensive fragrance. I tried a lot of them and I liked this one. It was so unique, so different from all the rest. I was 19 years old at that time. At this age, one is ready to experience with fragrances, because there is no prejudice about how a fragrance should be. At that time, I had the 25ml EDP edition. Oh, my God! It was great! Now I own the 30ml EDT. Still interesting. I must say I'm one of the very first ones who had this. SO LOVELY!

LOVE this stuff! Smooth, sensual, relaxing. It's like sex in a bottle. The only downside is that it's SO expensive!

It's a beautiful powdery iris, so soft but the iris makes it colder, and the caramel accord is not able to make it too sweet, just adds a kind of delicious part to it. For me a little bit sad fragrance. I don't know why, but something about melancholy beside the nice, real, french sophistication. And yeah, it smells like make up and wood carving.

Such a light and flowery scent! I really like it, but my skin tends to hate the pink pepper. So the first 15 minutes is just wonderful Peony with a bit of Lily, but after a while becomes too peppery on me :( It's not my cup of tea, but it smells really nice.

I was blown away by how much I love this perfume. im 23 and by reviews I have read before I thought this would smell ''old''. nooo... I would call it more classic. like a trusty black dress, or a favourite red lipstick. I am in love with the feminine florals and I also like that this has no fruity notes in it. I have too many fruity perfumes. when I wear something else I kind of feel like I am longing for the lace smell. it might have been around a while, but I love this so much I cannot find fault with it.

The packaging for the perfume is so gorgeous, but the scent is not exactly cutting it. I have to agree with some people that this flanker is TOTALLY out of place out of the whole Fantasy range. Something about this is so citrusy and sharp. It almost smells like lemonade with a floral background. I don't know why but I feel like the Fantasy flankers are going downhill. I really wish Britney would start making flankers for Believe, which by the way has TOO much patchouli. Overall, a nice and clean scent but not too overpowering. Maybe my hopes were too high and I was expecting a cotton candy smell. It's okay, but it's not something I would see myself purchase in the future.

Musc Nomade was a blind buy and at first application I couldn't even smell alchool, nothing at all. But one must think no producer would make something out of just water, and like some have said, not everybody smell the musc molecule the same way. So, I tried it for a few days at home nd after a while I could smell something very clean and suave, soft but persistent. Musc Nomade gives off a certain clean atmosphere without smelling of something in particular. Is that the invisible musc? This sense of smell stays around for about 5 to 8 hours, and it is comforting to get winffs of MN now and then.

So, I started to wear it with association with other clean scents, in special Prada pour Homme, which smells the same with a extra powdery facet. Note that I apply them on different areas so not to overlap. and sometimes I think all I smell is Musc Nomade, with Prada slumbering in the back ground.

Well, as said before, it is not the most exciting ilfacotory experience, but i am trying to make the most of it. Is it whorth? I am afraid not.

It's always hard to speak about best seller, because everything is already said - there're a lot of lover and haters so all sides of perfume are discovered, analyzed, all personal stories are told but i hope one more won't be too much :)
In general, it's not my favorite perfume or genre,something very in the middle - doesn't matter about what we'd talk : silage, longevity ( ~6 h.)or composition, but Halloween has very strong sentimental value for me.
Then Jesus Del Pozo relieved this fragrance, i was 8 years old - the age then sneezed from mother's Opium and sincerely believed that perfumes are only for old ladies :)
I found it in the local beauty shop, where I and my friend used to go after school to try how lipsticks and eye shadows work ( thanks for seller who didn't kick us out). One day i saw that violet bottle and something just teased me to try what's inside. After first sniff it was something like ecstasy - I've never smelled anything more wonderful! If i only could i'd probably had slashed it everywhere. Since then i went there everyday to smell that captivating fragrance :)But my full bottle i got only last spring. So what it smells like after almost 15 years after first meeting :
1. I've never smelled banana's leaf, but i think this is the heart of Halloween - sweet, but fresh base. Mix it with bucket of violets and magnolias and you'll get what i call peachy iris, somehow for me it's really similar more to iris than violets. And peach, have no idea from where it appears, but i can defiantly smell juicy peach.
2. It's simple, nothing surprising - I didn't find that scent would change during the hours, the same floral composition, but yet lovely . Good everyday office's choice.
3. The fact that Halloween hasn't been discounted also tells a lot. First- how popular and loved it is, and second - all reformulations of it shows creator's lack of fantasy? Specially then I do't find all those special additions so different, the original one still stays the best.
4. Even is described as oriental floral, i miss true oriental part - it's more clumsy than rich spicy. Also, the sandalwood could pop out more with nice woody feeling to balance loud flower's part.
5. I really like the sea note in the beginning! It's like a wind what brings on the fragrance from the bottle.
Well, it looks kind of negative review, doesn't it ? :) But the truth, despite everything i can notice and describe as minus now, still can't compare with that joyful feeling i get then i wear it. Still my favorite end of May scent through all those years.

I was trying to learn some things about the life and death of Aristotle Onassis, the greek billionaire and also, i wanted to know which perfume we wore. Accidentally, i found a site "HOW TO SMELL LIKE A BILLIONAIRE" and the main idea was two perfumes that were used by two very wealthy individuals. The one was the Cypres Musk by creed which was used by Aristotle Onassis and the other was Mark Birley for men. Mark birley used Pierre Bourdon and Frederic Malle and they had 180 attepts to satisfy Mr Birley. The final product is this. I was very courious about the perfume so i blindly bought it...and arrived today.
I have to say that on the initial spray, i was more or less dissappointed as it was almost a light citrus fragrance, nothing remarkable. After about 10 to 20 minutes, the whole thing turn towards a woody incensy perfume but not an arabic style one. i beleive the whole combination is strongly influenced by carrot seet. From this point onwards, i fall in love with it. it is indeed a luxury high class perfume...i put two sprays on my had and indeed is a light fragrance but i smell it...it not strongly at the begining like other perfumes and then fades away...is light a calm from the begining and stays like this for hours. I do not recall any perfume that is similar to this. Others said that reminds terre d'hermes or D&G...no...this is not true. it does not remind anything and is among the few perfumes i smelled the last years which does not remind anything else. There is a touch of violet as well in but not the violet you get from GIT or grey flannel...it is much more silent. Definitely for those that they need a masculine extrordinary perfume, this is a must try and it is suits your skin, you are in love with it....formal wear, office wear, professionally mastered!
UPDATE: 3 hours after the application and still smells very nice....

I had a few l'erbolario fragrances, and liked most of them because they are fresh, lasting and TRUE to what the box says.
3 Rosa smells clean, soapy classic rose! O really like it very much.
The lasting power its excellent.

I would love to have this one!!

Beuatiful!

An airy-gorumand, a bit sweet, light accord of almonds.
I deifintely smell only notes of heliotrope, vanilla and sandalwood in this one.

A very simple, subtle, but relishable gourmand.
Reminds me a bit of My Queen, but Soir Ensoleille doesn't have any violet and is much lighter.

Me and aldehydes a big No, I just don't like it when it's aldehydes in a perfume. Yes it reminds of Agent Provocateur but the smell is annoying me, aldehydes and something soapy.

Thank you Mooniq for the sample.

Vivienne's legendary punk shop must have been a cozy place. This is a pretty patchouli scent with Nivea vibe. You might want to have it accompanied by the bodylotion, for it isn't a very strong one. Very likable, I give it a 7 out of 10.

When I wore this perfume people around me said..
"I'm not even kidding. I can smell cookies!"
"Does someone have cupcakes? I WANT ONE!"
"oh my God...cookies."
I haven't worn it since! I don't want to smell like sweet baked goods.

My big sissy bought it for herself in the airport, she tired of it and passed it to me a few days later; I passed it on to the youngest sis (I pray she doesn't like it). Super boring. Bland rubber tire amber and buttery tuberose with the juicy orange giving it some spark, but as quick as that spark came is as quick as it went... Similar to the original, but the orange freshens it up, the drydown, however, is almost exactly the same as the Original. Boring, just like the Original. Smells like Bijan VIP...cheap amber. Smelling this I imagine Gotham City..dark office parties, everyone in Black, Robots, Clones, No character, No Faces, Just dollar signs, Its Always foggy, Cop sirens are always running, Tall glass buildings as far as the eye can see...some might like it, but that's not my world...

A classic "my grandfather's aftershave".
An old fashioned olfactive structure. Brilliantine style.
I bought for a few euros and immediately turned to my father!

I have nothing to add, jeffwithfrags says all you have to know about this one.

Let's summarize it in one sentence : Designer fragrance on a niche bottle, not original at all, smells like a lot of these oriental/woody generic ones.

Smell : 1 / 5
Versatility : 1 / 5
Longevity : 1 / 5
Projection : 2 / 5

Overall : 5 / 20

Now, Domenico and Stefano, this is how a marshmallow perfume should be done ;)

Sweet marshmallow + intoxicating orange blossom + tartness of tobacco.

The tobacco note isn't smoky here, it smells like a new pack, filled with some strawberry flavored cigarettes probably.

The marshmallow isn't sickly sweet, it is rather transparently-powdery sweet.

And the orange blossom is just fresh and fragrant, very lovely.

I get some leather undertone, too, and a hint of coffee (creamy cappuccino).

It really reminds me of my early and mid teens, when I thought I was a rebel. I wore biker leather jackets that were two-three sizes too big for a tiny girl, smoked cherry flavored cigarettes, listened to heavy metal and was sure I'm cool and a grownup, hehe :)

Sweet times of innocence, when you're effortlessly fresh and pretty and need so little to feel special. For me, "Divin'Enfant" is a great portrayal of it, with a hint of irony.

In 5 words: tobacco, sweet, playful, fresh, unusual.

I like to spray this in my hair and when my husband snuggles up against me in the evening he always coments that he loves the way my hair smells. :) I have seen people here write that it is a shampooish scent and I agree but I really think thats nice. It´s a happy scent!

this one is little like habit rouge and little like narciso rodriguez for him....but it s just my opinion.. i m not saying that i hate this scent, but it s weird and that s for sure....

UPDATE- finally i know, what this scent reminds me of.....it s Musc Ravageur Frederic Malle ....

is is just me, or this one smells like Chopard Noble Vetiver? To me, both of them are practically the same scent, so save your money and go for Chopard

Warm yellow florals. Starts off a bit soapy with a characteristic Chanel fragrance note. Predominantly floral scent but there is a hint of honey to make it round. I'm not a floral person but this is good stuff!

The type of fragrance you wear to get a reaction.. good or bad! It has to be worn in moderation because it has the ability to offend. All the women I know who have worn this have been very tough!

Smells the closest to a rose, in my opinion, that has some 'soap' added to it, enhancing the feeling of cleanliness. Very feminine. It is less sweet than some of the newer rose lines that L`Occitane has launched (recently in Singapore we have Rose des Champs and Rose Aurore, with Rose Aurore smelling sweet to me- I was torn between this and des Champs, but this won over in the end as there was something in the dry down of des Champs that didn't agree with me).

It is work-safe, no one I've encountered seems averse to it. It is a 'classic' fresh scent when I compare it to Stella McCartney's Stella which smells edgier.

Longevity- 9am to 5pm (I'm sniffing myself now at 5pm to ascertain that). Lasts longer than Verte and Cherry Blossom from the same brand.

Sillage- Moderate to close. Won't choke anyone in the lift on your exit and their entry.

I'm pretty sure that Snow Queen and all evil queens from fairy tales smell like Silver mountain water - cold,powerful, frosty and arrogant - like real melted metal.
I think this is unisex scent - although, it opens a little bit strong and hit of something sharp ( black currant's leaf?), but later the scent become clear, fresh, harmonious, subtle, but still has the character.
The heart of Silver mountain water - delicate green tea with sandalwood's dryness and bergamot's drops. But it's not like those green notes that give you feeling of fresh cut grass or herbs, it's more like the scent of air after rain. I imagine that's how smell plantations of tea trees up in the hills, in the early morning, then everything is surrounded by mist. And you just take few leafs covered with dew, mash between your fingers and put that extract of liveliness on your skin.
For me it's the only so light perfume, perfectly suitable for those hell hot summer days and stuffy nights, that last more than 3-4 hours ( it stays about 10 - 12 on my skin).
Regrets about the price...well, the best things in life are free, the second best are very expensive.
But must try and let to be charmed by this wonderful fragrance.

Very lovely floral fragrance ylang ylang tuberose gardenia pear , lily of the valley jasmine rose , sandalwood & musk.Wearing this on a cold spring day but this is truly nice for day and evening. Puts you in a happy mood. I used Belle de Nuit soap for shower and afterwards Belle de Nuit Intense perfume. Love this!.

Words that spring to mind when I think of Egoiste: Autumnal, Breathtaking, Masterpiece... It is not dated to my nose, in fact I find it more relevant today than it has ever been. Highly complex, the scent is ever changing on the skin, and in Autumnal weather it works best and somehow blends with the scent of nature, leaves etc. Egoiste is a masterful blend of rosewood and sandalwood, florals (rose) and spices, both festive (cinnamon) and oriental (coriander). I would say one has to take time with this fragrance as it took me several wearings to even scratch the surface of this beautiful piece of art. Like an autumn day it can be melancholy in one respect yet bright and magnificent in the other. If it were a piece of music it would be ADAGIO FOR STRINGS. Hypnotic, moving and perfect. A fine creation by Jacques Polge.

I first saw this fragrance was in the airport, it smelt nice, but I didn't have the couraage to buy it and it stayed on my mind, untill a friend's sister have a bottle of deodorant of light blue in her bath room, now is getting close to summer, i suddenly really really want this deodorant, as I first addicted to perfumed deodorant recently. and this came second to my mind.

Earlier two weeks, I went shopping with my mum and i was dying to smell cherry in the air. but got disappointed, instead I found light blue, the power of this scent is it last in my mind. they had a gift set of this with body lotion and a voyage size, with the body lotion I'm not afraid of the scent going away so rapidly
I couldn't resist it, and wearing it now, I love going to bed with this scent! it wakes me up in the day time, but also put me to bed! ^^

Classique is a very "me" type fragrance ...

I am unashamedly feminine and I am often drawn to oriental floral.

This one has one of my favourite notes - the rose, as well as vanilla, musk and I can sense the ginger in it too.

I like the way it starts out with a little burst of mandarin, I often have mandarins in the house for that reason, and it fades to something quite powdery with vanilla.

I feel like a movie star back in the days of Marilyn.

I really like this perfume, it's very sweet but in a fruity way. I smell a bit ofmcitrus in this, and i love the bottle!

This one's not for me!! too sweet for my liking, especially at first spray, it smells like honey, candies, and sugared berries! After awhile the faint woody scent started to develop which makes it more pleasant to the nose, but the sugary scent is still too strong to save the perfume. i dont get any of that floral note it claimed to have either. To me, it doesnt smell seductive or mysterious at all, it smells just like any other cheap sweet, perfume out there. I shall stick to my bvlgari jasmin noir if seductive is what i want.
The perfume bottle looks cheap and plasticky too, i guess what you pay is what you get!

* probably good for get-up-and-go occasions, or those situations where u know you will stink eventually, such as before gym or mountain hiking etc...

I smelled this at sears hoping to love it but i couldn't find any interesting notes in this.. It's not sweet to me at all, too strong and nothing special..

i just adore chique perfume ,liv ein new zealand ,ho ww can i order and get some asap please advice

This is an exotic and distinct scent, unlike anything else I have.

Quite a deliberate step in a different direction with such a strong licorice element, I can also identify the ivy and the violet very easily... it dries down bringing to the licorice a musky vanilla cloud.

So perfect for an evening out especially on a cooler night.

I'm very happy to include this in my tiny fragrance wardrobe.

A sublime and exquisite perfume...elegant and yet decadent at the same time.

...A scent to annoint yourself in all the places you expect to be kissed. Say no more... ; )

What can I say? I just recently was introduced to this magnificent fragrance and I am in love. Wouldn't you know it's been discontinued which almost brings me to tears. Le Feu is so beautiful on my skin. It's warm, sexy, intimate and very complex in such a fascinating way. It seems to to almost be alive as it moves and develops with your body chemistry. It is a fragrance that really evokes emotion in me. It's magic. So sorry it's gone! I think I will cough up the $$ and get one of the rare remaining bottles on EBay . I love it that much.

On my skin it starts off citrusy, green, spicy, sweet and mildly woody. I liked the opening notes very well. Mildly "masculine" and highly refreshing. Then violet leaf peeks out, grabbing centre stage alongside patchouli and sandalwood. The citrus notes get subdued.

Smells like men's aftershave or deodorants but a high quality one.
It dries down roughly the same - green, spicy, woody, musky. Supposedly unisex and I guess the only type of female who can pull this off is one in a full military uniform. Really.

For now, I think it's nice but I can't see myself parting $429 for a 3.4 fl oz bottle at Sephora. Crazy. It doesn't help when the Sephora salesperson keeps pushing you to buy a bottle on the spot!

Longevity: good 6 hours before I bathed.
Sillage: moderate for the first 2 hours.

Soft, squishy and airy is the texture to describe this scent. I see it almost like a cute pink marshmallow. This is a sweet scent, although there's a bit of green and citrus in the background. I thought it would be greener but no, this is a mellow sweet scent. I'll pass on this one. It's nice, but nothing special.

this was my first fragrance ( i was in junior high ) .. really love the scent of this. really love the Pear Scent . i used to have it. are there any fragrance like this??. this fragrance was discontinued later. so fresh !!!

I can't help but to smile when I think of 273, it was 1994 and I was on a cruise in the Bahamas with my mom and sister and this was my very first perfume I bought with my own money(travelers cheques) that was all mine! I had to be about 9 maybe 10 at the time I felt grown,classy, and sophisticated. I believe I may actually still wear this if given to me. Some scents never grow old and this is one:)

This will always be a scent close to my heart!! I get SO many compliments when wearing this from men to women,the dentist office to the grocery store. I like that that I can constantly smell myself without getting tired of the scent. It definitely leaves a lasting impression on a first date. I'm not a floral fan scent wise but this one is a winner since 2000, I never looked back.

If anyone LOVES this scent(05 version)as much as I do I think they'd agree that they're aren't enough words to describe the greatness of this scent! I still have my 05 bottle that I purchased in 2009 it still smells just the same. I'm known for this scent, however I now only wear it for important occasions,or "Special"occasions wink:) very sexy,sweet, and definitely not for the teenie boppers. This is for a WOMAN who knows who she is, as well as her worth. This is a powerful perfume! I just love it. Too bad they changed the formula it's definitely not the same without the sweetness:(
