I neither love or hate Paris herself, however her beauty ranges are well made.

Her perfume range in particular is excellent for the price bracket it's in, so I'll keep an eye out for this when I go to America in November.

thank you so much, timeazsofia! actually i was already worrying that my words might have been a bit too provocative...

This was the first fragrance my hubby gave to me years ago, and being sentimental, I always have a fresh bottle of PLEASURES in my fragrance display cabinet. This is distinctly floral on me, I cannot discern any other notes. It's very fresh and light as it dries down ... allusion of sweet-smelling flowers lingers on the skin ... nothing piercing ... just soft and lovely. I may not wear it all the time but I tend to go back to it and that venture is always a pleasure.

Like it! Smells sweet and gives you a summerfeeling! :)

it'd been nearly 04 hrs. that i'd received my rubber flask, and i'd quickly applied the juice on my wrist. For the first couple of hours this should not be categorized as 'PERFUME', it is more of a sweet n hot caramel pop corns, smells like hot caramel. The next sniff would make you close your eyes and remind you of woods n rain forest. The perfume made me stick my nose to my wrist and completely took over my senses. All in all this bottle is marvel by thierry mugler. I strongly recommend this gourmand because no perfume would smell this 'DELICIOUS'.. ;)

Nice perfume, simple and clean. Very good for summertime, as it evokes mature fruits and flowers.
But, but, but, it costs 70,00 euros for 50 ml. Much more than Classica donna di Acqua dell'Elba, to wich it is identical: 56,00 euros for 100 ml.

Very very similar to Lann-Ael but more sophisticated and less sweet.

Light Blue is the smell of summer, the sun, the lazy days of walks on the beach. Reminds me of the summer holidays. Although I think I am right in saying that can be used all year, making it a good choice for a signature scent.
It is a joyous fragrance, full of life and youth, but adapts well to all ages.
It's nice and feminine.
At first I had a different opinion, I thought it was boring and it was very popular in my country is a widely used fragrance and I did not understand why but now ... I succumbed to its charms! ;)

Light Blue es el olor del verano, del sol, de los días relajados, de los paseos por la playa. Me recuerda a las vacaciones de verano. Aunque creo que no me equivoco si digo que puede ser utilizado todo el año, lo que lo hace una buena opción para un perfume firma.
Es un perfume alegre, lleno de vida y juventud, sin embargo se adapta bien a todas las edades.
Es agradable y femenino.
Al principio yo tenía una opinión diferente, pensaba que era aburrido y que era muy popular, en mi país es un perfume muy utilizado y yo no entendía por qué pero ahora... he sucumbido a sus encantos! ;)

now that I've been wearing only Spiritueuse Double Vanille for a while, I feel that VN it's much more like a light version of it! Lke a low coast too, but still nice! It's softer, lighter, more cedar that vanilla, but yet a bit sweet, like a cloud, it gives me a kind of " cotton cloud" feeling; the smoky notes appear sometimes, it depends on weather and also clothes fabrics! It might change a lot depending of what you wear; I advise with this one better use natural fabrics like cotton or linen, or whool, not synthetics!! otherwise it gets smoky- odd, unpleasant! all in all, I like it, also in summer, still quite fresh, soft.

The ghost that has traveled to the other planes of the Universe, but whose origins are from earth. It is as ethereal as Thierry Mugler's Angel and Dior Midnight Poison, as regal as Alexander's My Queen and as poise as YSL Elle. It retains all the ethereal "otherworldly" qualities as the above mentioned yet manages to keep its roots here on earth. The similarites are all there, yet Ghost is much more familiar to human kind, much more comforting, yet still has the smell of a thousand travels in space.
The moon flower mixed with bitter or "green" apricot that has yet to ripen is how this opens; slightly masculine smelling, cold.
It moves on to a semi sweet musky base, a slight hint of amber mixed with musk and a tad bit of peach.
The warmth of this Ghost is not as warm as most other perfumes, it still retains its ethereal "coldness", and surrounds you with an aura of blue and purples but also greens and reds. Lovely

Noa is a fragrance light, soft and warm at the same time.
when you smell is comforting, is like a helping hand that hands you a cup of coffee and says, "Everything will be fine." It is a good choice for a broken heart ;)
Although gentle, it is noted, has a good projection and longevity. When you're around people who can not help but ask what fragrance are you wearing
This perfume also has a sensual side but in a naive way, as if this is not its purpose.

Noa is a pearl ;)

Noa es un perfume ligero, suave y cálido al mismo tiempo.
cuando lo hueles es reconfortante, es como una mano amiga que te tiende una taza de café y te dice "Todo irá bien". Es una buena opción para un corazón roto ;)
Aunque es suave, se hace notar, tiene una buena proyección y longevidad. Cuando estás cerca de personas, no pueden evitar preguntar que perfume llevas puesto
Este perfume tiene también un lado sensual pero de una manera ingenua, como si no fuera ese su propósito.

Noa es una perla ;)

Hi natluvly,

where did you read this notes? I think it is not the true fragrance of this perfume because of nutmeg and coconut. I can smell nutmeg absolutely!

Is your list maybe an earlier fragrance list?

Thanks for your help.

I had a sample of this fragance when i was younger. It was a very beautiful perfume, smelt so good.
Unfortunately, no way to find it...

jonr951, thanks for the note listing; sounds pretty good. I'm not really a fan of Paris Hilton herself, but her frags aren't that bad, actually. While I normally don't care about packaging or what the bottle looks like, I must say this one is cute and girly. I like how she describes painting her world pink. Being the tomboy I grew up as, I hated the color pink, but now I like it; it brings out femininity. I would love to try this; I think it would be a nice summer scent.

I bought this because it was on sale, however i was not so happy after. I was cutely packaged and I remembered someone sprayed Incanto on me sometime ago when I was walking at the mall and I thought I liked it, so i purchased it. The first spray, it was a sharp sweet shampoo scent. Then it was cloying sweetness with some floral that quite turned me off. I did smell some passionfruit tones but it just was not me so I passed it on to a friend who like it.

This little sister is even more beautiful. It lacks that sticky sweet note which comes out from time to time in the original Euphoria. Only the most beautiful notes have stayed here and it is georgeus. So light but misterious. Orchid still plays the main role with the woody note. I've got to have it. I don't desire its bigger sister anymore. I desire Euphoria EDT. The lasting power is great.

Yuck! Smells like Peach liquire :/

Mmmmmm :-) . Great for all year round. The scent really evokes the feeling of being a happy, floating butterfly, in a quaint little garden. This one starts out heavy with the pralines/vanilla and berries but softens down to a lovely, slightly powdery sandalwood mixed with something flowery, but I can not put my finger on it. I absolutely adore this. It is a "memory" scent; the kind you smell years down the road and associate with a certain person or place. That is how I feel about it. I remember being in elementary school and one of my teachers would always wear this, she was a young, smart, graceful, fun loving, happy woman, with blue eyes and blonde hair and loved to show off her river dancing moving for our class. I always remembered how her fiance would come in to class on random days and surprise her with gifts. I wished to always have a smile on my face as she did. As soon as I smelled this it felt so familiar and comforting, and then, just like that, I remembered!
A new favorite. A must try for all. Highly recommend. It is a happy, sensual scent.

I like this scent more than I think I do. I skip it a lot, because I think it's boring, but it's not, and every time I wear it I realize it is really pretty. If you love florals this is a no brainer. It's pretty, fresh and suitable for many occasions, including work, weddings, everyday, but for more than these, too. feminine and pretty.

بسیار خوشبو،جذاب و گیرا. رایحه پرتقال دراوایل ان به طرز گیرایی بکار رفته .خنک و مورد استفاده در تابستان. برای مناطق گرمسیر در بهار و ربع اول پاییز نیز قابل استفاده است.پخش بوی خوبی نیز دارد،ادکلنی که دیگران و رایحه دوستان از نام ان سوال خواهند کرد.یکی از بهترین انتخاب های تابستانه میتواند باشد.

This is truly a great scent, which I remember fondly. I wore this in the Opium and Poison era and always preferred it to those.

A few women in my office wore Cinnabar in lieu of the others aforementioned. When Opium and Poison became really popular many people complained to their managers about the overwhelming and sickening scents in the office. Our office eventually was made Opium and Poison free. No one ever complained about the Cinnabar, yet many then and also here claim it is the more powerful scent.

I've always found the scent very powerful but never cloying or stale. I really think that body chemistry has a lot to do with the sour notes that people experience with these strong fragrances.

This is my absolute favourite and i own and buy A LOT of perfume!! Have actually been stopped in streets and supermarkets by people asking what the fabulous smell is. But be warned...i am a nurse and actually made one of my patients feel physically sick as he said it was so overpowering - oops perhaps not for work then - use sparingly if you dont want to knock anybody out !!!

Just bought it yesterday and worn it for the first time today. The first time I sprayed it, I thought it will give me a headache because it was a burst of white flowers. However, after 20minutes it is calming down to be similar to the secret wish blue that I love so much. It is great to use when you want to be feminine(floral) with a clean citrus scent. I think I will like this but not as much as I love the Secret Wish blue.

I'm not a fun of green, citrucy perfumes, but this one is amazing. Longlasting, with good sillage.. elegant summer scent!

I have two big gardenia scents, MK Hollywood and PH Fairy Dust. In a side by side comparison, both being equally good gardenia perfumes, Hollywood wins as being more fresh, less cloying, younger and vibrant. If you simply love gardenia, Fairy Dust would be the real Slim Shady of the two. Hollywood, in every other aspect, wins for me, hands down. I want to love Fairy Dust more, it has something overly feminine in it, but I can't get past a sharpness it also has. Hollywood, for being so terribly sensitive to gardenia, and not caring for it anymore (I used to love it) is the chosen one for me. I think you could be very fond of Hollywood even if you don't like gardenia. Side by side sniff, geeez it's hard to pick one over the other. I must say, Hollywood doesn't deserve it's price...

Fresh strong clean scent, I agree it is like a bug spray, almost like OFF. Unfortunately to me it just does not have a base note. I cannot smell any floral scent at all. The longevity is good.

I too bought a sample of this to compare against the obvious JA fragrance. Let's start off and say that the only thing this fragrance has in common with JA is that they both have the same variety of Jasmine in it. That's it. Child is pretty much a soliflore of Jasmine. (If there are other nuances, they do not present themselves on my skin, nor do I get a pyramid as the day progresses).

This Jasmine is heady and sweet smelling, no negative indolic compounds here. While this fragrance is lovely, I much prefer the Jasmine featured in Serge Lutens A la Nuit.

As for JA's fragrance, I think she was inspired by this, probably having smelled it and/or worn it, but she asked for a more complicated scent. It's just a shame that the formulation was not as high quality as the venerable House of Guerlain would have made it.

I bought it because someone suggested this as a cheaper version of light blue. However, I think this is better than Light Blue. My husband even uses it and he always compliments me every time I wear it. I just think it is very hard to find. I can remember seeing in on some duty free shops when I travel overseas.

I was interested in a nice opening, very fuity, almost apple-like. But then came a heavy indole and a killer mint. Sticky, loud, annoying. Like a slap in the face from a lady that wishes to be playful with you, but overdoes it and knocks you out.

reading the notes, ck be seemed like a no brainer win-win for me. easily accessible, cheap price, and oriental with green notes.
this has been on my to try list for a long time.
i finally spotted an opened package of this at a discount retailer and took a chance.
well....unfortunately this is not a good review.
i have to agree with the other reviews.
alcoholic blast greets my nose with a swift sharp kick.
synthetic lavender that can pass for a commercial carpet cleaner comes next. this gave me a headache and perfumes rarely do tat. i can spray ten times and be just fine.
this is just ghastly on me, a chemical mess.
and unisex? ha! pushing that. much more leans to the masculine.
sadly, i wouldn't even want to smell this on a man let alone myself. a regretful scent.

Found the notes!

pink lady apple, maraschino cherry and peach nectar, violet petals, pink calypso orchid and orange blossom, vanilla, white patchouli and musk

happy herbs! Not bad at all.

Mi ricorda un pò CHINAWHITE di Nasomatto ( d'altronde il naso è lo stesso). Sembra la stessa base con l'aggiunta di una tuberosa ombrosa e legnosa. Soffocata e un pò polverosa.

Bellissimo profumo, forse la versione femminile di CHINAWHITE.

I really like this line of cheerful scents from MC. They have a fruitiness with a kick. In this one, the pineapple stands out the most for me, with a bit of musk. As for the longevity, this wears like a body mist. You can expect to reapply this repeatedly during the day, which is OK since these are not expensive.

It hasn't a strong smell, but its smell is good.

This smells just like an alcohol free Piña Colada they serve in one of my favorite restaurant . It's very yummy indeed .
Together with Mangue Passion , they are "Smoothie limited edidtion" and they just smell like that . Yummy rich beverage and of course summery .
Nice , i like it better that Mangue-Passion, but it's just personal taste.

That's my third attemp on Parfum d'Empire and again I can't find anything that I truly like.Ambre Russe is an ''alcoholic''sweet amber.Lots of vodka and rum,feels like I am in a bar sitting,drinking and getting drunk!Something is bothering me in this composition.Might be the vodka or generally the huge amount of alcoholic beverages in Ambre Russe.Also the fact that I don't drink!The only good thing is the exorbitant lasting power,4 hours later and it still goes on..

This smells like an alcohol free cocktail and i like it .
Very summery , not complex at all however, but that's not that the " Plaisirs Nature" line is meant to be .
Like many summer limited edition it's nice, but not fantastic.

This perfume is so fresh and clean - not quite what I was expecting from a fragrance marketed with the name Be Delicious and an apple. I was expecting more sweetness, more juiciness and maybe a bit of tartness. But while it's not what I expected, it certainly is a delight! I get only a slight golden apple undertone with hints of warmth and sweetness. But for the most part, it smells I-just-stepped-out-of-the-shower clean.

So sweet, lovely and feminine. It's a vacation smell, cause it makes me an exotic papaya girl the second I spray it.

Lemon Sorbet smells close to its name. It has the tang smell of a juicy and a bit sweet lemon.I do smell strong,lemon,lavender on a slightly sweet base of sandalwood.I really enjoy sniffing Lemon Sorbet.Very refreshing and energizing,true citrus scent.Smells like you dig your nails into a lemon or like lemon zest.One of my favorites from Etro.My only complain is the lasting power,I wish it was longer..

A year ago I sampled EDT version in the shop, it was nice to wear casually, but it didn't last long. So when I saw EDP bottle on sale, I grabbed it as fast as I could.
But my happiness lasted until I sprayed it on my wrist. It was so peppery, I almost started sneezing - coriander overpowered every single note, which is pleasant to my nose. Even after a while, when the pepper starts fading, it doesn't make a better impression. For me it lacks vanilla sweetness, that feminine core of the fragrance.
Though, it's more than obvious, that the fragrance is not my type, I have to admit, the lasting power and the feeling of warmth it gives are great benefits of Iceberg.

I have to say that I have many of the woods and citrus Axe as a deodorant and their wonderfull ! I cant' beleive how many great comments I get from men and women. they project and last longer then all my expensive fragrants.

It reminds me a Prada Amber young, more pop and happy. Wonderful! I love it!

I have a thumbnail of this fragrance, I find it a cologne that an eau de toilette, but this is something timeless fragrance (and here I repeat myself) back in time, when during the holidays as a child I felt this grassy notes of underbrush wood and bark brittle mixed with a good dose of citrus, was and is a fragrance for adults, the bottle is reminiscent of a pebble polished by the waves of a dark green glass on which is engraved the name Agua Brava, it's great to hear him in one summer night while the crickets are serenading the moon and bleach a garden in bloom.
Has not (at least to me) a good longevity, but
This stuff is really exciting, only to find the bottle gives me the impression of being in possession of a potion or a wizard alchemist ...
Merlin please buy it ... nothing spells.

i JUST GOT THIS ,L WILL BE MAKING TWO MORE PURCHASES FOR PERFUMES NAMELY TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOLLI AND BACK UP BOTTLE FOR MY COCO MADEMOISELLE AND AM DONE FOR THE YEAR.LI WILL POST THE REVIEW TOMORROW

I vaguely remember the old version, but this re-edition reminds me of "Eternity" by CK. The same carnation blended with lilly-of-the-valley (greenish, sour type that grows in forrest, not the garden specie) with a touch of musk. No vanilla found))))) Like it, though, a bit "old-fashioned")))))

Smells first of the darest chocoloate, cinnamon, the what smells like rum soakced raisons or plums I still detect a tropical fruit note, maybe pineapple, but not as harsh as in the original. It's smoother creamy, rich thick, tart a bit until you reach the drydown, then much smoother, powdery very decnt sillage and extreemly long lasting.... after 12 hours i can still smell something like powdered vanilla cocao, very nice, it's like a refined, much more powerful version of the original

I find normal angel to be somewhat of a hot mess, and this is much better but still not my cup of cocoa

Violets aren't listed? or iris?

I have the perfume oil and it is very dominating on me. I love the rich creamy sweetness of it but I am too embarrassed to wear it out. It would be like I stuffed cotton candy in everyone's nostrils. If I dab just a little on it is sweet and girlie rather than classy and sexy. I do wear it to bed for yummy dreams

We have warm - for Sweden at least - weather now. Nearing 30 degrees Celsius every day. I hesitated, but decided to put on Winter Woods today, before going in to town, to shop a birthday present for my husband. In and out of shops, in hot humid weather... You don´t always feel, well, fresh all over when you do these kind of things? But found out that this is a wonderful scent to wear in hot summer weather! I smell GREAT! And really enjoy these woody notes!

It's almost gurmand's perfume,I feel a lot of sweet biscuits in a base with pomegranate. Huge dose of paciuly almost kills me :(
So,if someone wants it for swap/purchasing,you are welcome!
i have 100 ml bottle.

I had this, it gets crazy intense on me and I just smell like an over zealous perfumed hippy. I gave this away to a colleague, it smells great on her :)

This is my favourite at the moment!. It is quite expensive in Australia and really difficult to find. I like that I haven't come across anyone else who wears this - yet.
I find this fragrance to last forever on me, it has great sillage too. I think the balance between the floral and other leather is a great juxtaposition between sweet but sexy.
To me this oozes class and sophistication, I wear it to impress.

Classically elegant, fresh and non offensive. I wear this to the office, I think it is a great casual perfume

This is definitely a fragrance for an older, mature woman. I won't come right out & label it as "old lady" but this one sure doesn't give the impression of anything youthful.

I do smell all the notes listed. It is not offensive, but not something that appeals to me either. It's musky, soft, cozy, woody, warm, the tiniest bit sweet. A caramel coloured fuzzy sweater worn by a grumpy 45-50 year old dentist/doctor's office receptionist.

I could see this being work friendly, while being worn by a woman who is less than friendly at work.

Pls save your money... a bug in the blending imo which neither lets it to be sweet not spicy. lacking harmony in notes. avoid

Nice take on tobacco with delicious sweetness .. I like it in cold nights.

This is why I respect Guerlain... wow wow wow... awesome take on cocoa with sandal wood just love this stuff.. Amazing blending i must say , true pleasure folded in layers . BRAVO.

what else can i say about this masterly created , elegant and amazing scent. this is a joy for the wearer as well as for the people around. a true modern classic.

Is it good?

This is my favorite fragrance made by Ellen Tracy! I LOVE it so much! Yes I would recommend it to a friend. I am on my second bottle and I hope they never discontine this fragrance.

What great reviews!! I would have to say this is a fragrance that I would not recommend buying on a blind buy. You really need to test/spray this on yourself or get a sample to try. I actually like it a lot. I have a minature of this fragrance and I am still not sure if I will purchase it.

This is almost perfection in my opinion! So soft & warm, yet fresh with it. Perfect for any season. Beautifully blended - no sharp jarring notes here. Soft soft soft, orangey, slightly sweet (but not too much so) warm woodsy undertones - funnily enough I don`t get much vanilla despite the name. The only slight negative I would give it is that I would like A little more patchouli in the base. God, will I ever be satisfied?!!!!

Just about every 5 years over the past 40, I've tried wearing this legendary fragrance. It's never been a good match. My mother enjoyed quite a few bottles from my failed attempts.

Nice soft and clean scent but it doen't last more than a couple of hours! Soft projection, soft but interesting sillage and incredibly poor longevity.

I like this alot! Really great for summmer. I tend to like amber/iris powdery violet/hyacinth (i do pick up more iris than violet, I know iris isn't listed) scents the best and well this is a fantastic summer version.

Almost reminds me of L'instant magic only a e'te summer version... I mostly pick up amber and iris (an earthy iris). It starts off with alot of lemony citrus.. that quickly fades to a spiced orange smell, and them mostly powder iris/violet amber.

Does not smell like sun tan lotion, but maybe has an note or two that is often in suntan lotion.

I feel a touch of salt,Sort of smells like if you were at the beach all day with a gorgeous smelling suntan lotion, then went home to a bath and powdered. Just great, very nice, nearly perfect for casual everyday ..summer wear, (also great/non offensive for work)... I also pick up a touch of floral, maybe jasmine, oh correction, must be orange flower.. and just a hint of spice with a slightly woody nuance, coming from the bergamont and coumarin.. the dry cedar helps to provide balance, it's smooth.. not too smooth and the musk seems to help with projection / sillage, which is fair to, actually kind of close to skin, balmy/powdery

... I'm very very happy with my 20 dollar purchase for a 3.4. I'd sugget picking up a bottle quick before word gets out and poof the price soars.. I've stocked up, and found a full size 6.8 lotion at tj max on clearnce for 5 dollars x) ..ooh just took another sniff on my arm a single spray 60 minutes later.. and it's just lovely so prety without being overtly girly... actually I'm thinking a guy could definently wear this as well, just softly/barely sweet, not cloying in the least (clubbing approved as well, lol)... Will report back on longevity :)

And the muget is definently detectable, very nice


Just reviewed the note for l'instant magic, YUP ...prety close, I'd say this is like a Guerlain L'instant Magic Veil :). I love L'instant magic, but it's stronger and create a big aura around oneself, so you really need to be in the mood for it, this is much easier to wear... so those days when LM is a bit too much, I'll reach for this. My new 'go to' fragrance

This is also reminding me of a love child between Chloe love and Hermes Mervielles eau Claire

BTW, I find bronze to be a very fitting name for this
and I also find this similar to lolita lempika, however it's far less sweet, and not as much spice. Violet isn't as dominant

3 hours and going strong, now reminds me of a slightly more earthy or dirty/smokey prada iris (this with lotion and perfume)maybe a little more like donna karan's iris ... less sweet though

I got a sample of this couple a days ago and all I can think of is "sweetened" marjoram, even though it´s not listed above....

Really good luxsoap frag long lasting elegant superfeminine smell all day long draws meny compiments its fresh but its strong its clean but its heavy in the same time very very PRADA in a good way and i love all prada parfums!

عطر خیلی شیک و مجلسیه.
نشون دهنده ی یه خانوم سنگین و شیک که وقتی رد میشه نظر ها رو به سمت خودش جلب میکنه!
واسه استفاده روزانه مناسب نیست.

wearing this perfume makes me feel my day more optimistic... good for everyday use...

anyone know something similar ? i can't find this one in stores :(

This fragrance is awesome. I bought it as a blind buy and I am very happy with it. It is nothing like anything I have ever smelled. I don't have vast experience with frags but I think this one is unique. I can't really explain it other than sweet, musky, fresh cut grass, and tea that somehow creates something creamy. Don't over spray this, you will make everyone around you nauseated including yourself. One spray on the chest with maybe one weak spray on each wrist. Don't use this while doing anything physically that makes you sweat, like work, it will project like a pig. Better for a relaxed picnic or a cool game of Golf. I wouldn't suggest a blind buy but it's definitely worth checking out. 4.5/5. Thanks for reading.

A warm, feminine fragrance, the benzoin is very present but well-carried by the flowers.
Most rate it ok for night or winter, I wear it now in summer and it feels very good! It would be the best version of the Escada summer-range which changes every year but smells the same very year and makes you smell sweaty.
This could be a signature fragrance for very feminine, sexy women.
It reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana By for women so people who loved tis will be happy to discover Roberto Cavalli eau de parfum(discontinued).

I may almost be addicted to this although my sister thinks it smells like toilet cleaner!
It reminds me of sunshine after the rain in a sunny woodland glade,surrounded by the wild flowers exuding their perfume into the warm wind.
It is very long lasting with clean sparkling sillage just as if a Wood Nymph has passed your way.
Delightfully fresh for warm days - I just feel fabulous when I wear it.

I trawled through the 'quality' perfumes at an upmarket department store today, searching for a new signature scent.

I think I found it.

Just not as great as I expected, though I've tried many many times. Far away from the original, which is really good.

"marry me"? cute! the idea of a person proposing to there loved one with this along with the ring sounds like a pretty cute and romantic idea x3..but as for me, Imma staying a single lady for a while =P who knows....I think I may just get this just because the notes sound amazingly lovely..not gonna lie though if I had a man who proposed to me with this fragrance, I'd only use it very little because it would be to special to use daily x'D

x'D ya know what people, if ur fiance is a perfume lover, propose to them with this along with the ring, I promise they will love this!!

I'm torn! Is this a more repulsive vanilla to my nose than Dior's Hypnotic Poison?
I smelled like cheap burnt flyspray, i could not wait to scrub this one off.
I was quite sorry as i was prepared to like it.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose! Glad i did not blind buy. Sad i hate it so much as everyone else seems to love it and i had high hopes.
Going back to my body shop original vanilla oil now to get over the trauma of Vanillary (the black topped bottles from the 90s), oh how i wish they would bring back that version!

Promesse is absolutely beautiful! Smells like forest fruits, flowers and musk. Longevity si pretty good, 5-8 hours; it stays longer if sprayed on hair. Very appropriate for spring, summer time but it is also suitable for winter, black current notes are more intense on cold weather. I received many compliments while wearing this, even from people I did not know! Very young and alluring, gives you a feeling of happiness. Too bad it was discontinued. Tresor Midnight Rose is quite similar although is sweeter than Promesse.

I wear this in the summer. I tis sweet without being sickening and it has a very unique blend. Sort of visiting an out of the way island filled with fruit and sea breezes. It is not a showy frgrance, more subtle.

Hello,where can I order this parfume?Thanks

Il Profvmo Gardenia Royal, as a beautiful white floral blend, similar in style and composition to Estee Lauder's Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia. I love the both of them equally.

Although fresh and flowery, it has a slightly aggressive bite. In the opening especially, Gardenia Royal is quite loud and sharp. The scent overall is soapy and clean, rather than naturally green and dewy.

The gardenia, tuberose and jasmine create a smooth, innocent bouquet, however the peony adds more definition by giving it a slightly sour quality. I usually detest peony, however when blended skilfully and present in small doses, it can be just as majestic as a red rose.

Some reviewers have found this fragrance cloying and heavy. My only word of advice would be to apply Gardenia Royal with a light hand. I'm wearing just one spray right now, and I find the projection pleasant as is.

The musk in the heart and drydown makes Gardenia Royal smell a little bit like laundry powder. It's not necessarily unpleasant, and I admittedly like the way it smells, however some people may find it off-putting. It's not technically gardenia in this composition, and many have noted this too. I find it more clean and simplistic with a blend of indistinguishable white florals.

Gardenia Royal proved to be a wonderful discovery for me. It's what I reach for when I want something clean yet noticeable. It compliments my skin perfectly and I feel very comfortable wearing it. I highly recommend.

This is one of a very few (theres maybe three of them) perfumes that I have finished the bottle & repurchased! That`s got to say something? Its initial blast is quite strong, tart, `high` - thats the only way I can describe it, with a fresh, dry tea note too - it then mellows out to a pretty, white floral - but its the drydown that is just lovely - musky, sweet, soft & it lasts forever! I have never more been complimented on a perfume than this, by people I know & complete strangers! Very summery to me, maybe also too young for me now - the only thing I dislike about this scent is that it is so instantly recognisable & wayyyy too popular!

I have smelled this once before, but I was testing multiple perfumes at the time and it did not stand out to me. I received this perfume in a swap and I must say...I am glad I gave it a second chance because it's great! The beginning is a blast of sweet (not tart) raspberry, then it dries down to a creamy sweet rose. It smells very much like Hanae Mori in the drydown, but not as strong. I have not sprayed it on my skin, but on my sleeves it lasts 6-7 hours.

If warmth had a smell it would smell like Orange Star...citrus tends to smell like household cleaner on my skin but there is none of that here. Very subtle spices, amber and an extremely long lasting clean dry down- a really harmonious blend with no jarring notes on my skin. Absolutely incredible on a man! Distinct and a must try

I`ve got this in the solid - not the old tins (which I preferred) but the cardboard push up tube thing. Mmmm - not sure what it is, but Lush perfumes all have the same base smell that I just can`t get on with. I want to like it, but it seems wayyyy too sweet, too much sugar, not enough of the rich vanilla that I`m looking for - maybe too much jasmine also (although I love jasmine) & very plasticky? I don`t know but it just doesn`t work for me. No it will have to go.......I do rather like the Vanilla Puff dusting powder though!

welcome back J del Pozo. I ve been missing you and as I can see, it 's a must have, like MonarC said. So, let's see what's inside. The outside looks manly and promising.

I have this in the oil, sweet, musky, cosy - I do really like it & much the same as many others here, it reminds my of way back when - big hair, too short skirts, heavy rock music & being young, wild & free! I think I always preferred Jovan Musk oil, although this was a good alternative, maybe more of a winter scent.

Once again, Tommi Sooni has managed to recapture that essence of a scent from a by-gone era. Jinx smells like those classic aldehydic fragrances, merging ever so slightly into green chypre territory.

I love this fragrance because it is slightly reminiscent of one of my favourite Summer fragrances, Diorella by Christian Dior. It has this beautiful, sparkling greeness, which feels like sunshine on the skin. The scent is further grounded by dry, earthy vetiver, oakmoss and labdanum, which are to blame for the chypre-like quality.

Some may call this a mature fragrance, and while I agree that my tastes are in favour of such compositions, it's not a fragrance that young women should avoid. I find it easily likable and pleasantly inoffensive.

Jinx is a fairly light and transparent fragrance, that wears relatively close to the skin. Unfortunately the lasting strength is similar in that it refuses to last any longer than a few hours. This was the only negative aspect I could find.

Although best suited to Spring and Summer, subtle hints of warmth created by the labdanum and fig, make this fragrance versatile enough to be worn during Autumn too. Jinx is marketed to women, but I personally think it could smell nice on a man's skin too. It's a bright and uplifting fragrance that I know I'll enjoy wearing during the warmer months. It could even be full bottle worthy.

Southern Blend is a surprisingly good cologne. I'm usually not a fan of celebrity-themed colognes because many of them aren't well thought-out. This is an exception. The bottle looks very cheap. The leather-textured plastic top, gilded plastic cap, and paper-sticker label don't give a good first impression. But don't judge this cologne by the bottle.

The violet leaf and anise provide a nice herbal sweetness and the whiskey and tobacco form a strong earthy undertone. This is an unmistakenly masculine fragrance. I don't smell much citrus, even though it includes lemon and bergamot. The whiskey tones are well-done in that they don't smell boozy or obnoxious.

Overall, Southern Blend is a great value and a surprisingly charming cologne. 7.5/10

I smelt this on a test strip a few weeks ago. I needed more time to write a fair review. Yesterday I applied three sprays to my wrist from the test bottle and went about my shopping excursion as usual.

I got the alluded to “gasoline” note in the beginning. I can relate to the robust, hairy, rugged, overall clad “mechanic” manly image that the opening delivers. I was patient, allowing the “burned rubber” and “motor-oil” to dissipate and the dry down to manifest its perceived glory. Then a complete twist unfolded. The pleasant floral notes appeared, the most predominant being a very familiar Violet. It is like the rugged man showered and applied a feminine scent under his hairy armpits. It hit me, this is nothing special. I felt a little let down after having such high expectations.

Overall, not a bad perfume, but in my opinion Fahrenheit is overrated. There was no “Wow!” I was not moved by this so called “masterpiece.” This “classic” did not cause the earth to shake. Perhaps it has been re formulated since its launch in 1988 and its subsequent heyday, I don’t really know.

For the little extra money demanded by the “quality” house of “Dior” I feel there is much better in the more modern bottles on the shelves today.

Fahrenheit has not “found” me, and I will not be “found” purchasing it. It gets one “degree” out of five.

Chapter closed.

This fragrance has a certain sexiness to it that is somewhat masculine yet tenderly alluring. On me it's very woody during the initial spray, I do not get any citrus at all. Then it dries down to a sweet and powdery scent evocative of vanilla and sandalwood. Give it a few more minutes and it's just pure sensuality on the skin that is highly addictive. It is a unique and beautiful fragrance sure to excite particularly when worn at night ... very aptly named Obsession Night.

It's almost 1 in 1 with Avon's Tahitian Holiday. Tiare with coconuts and vanilla. It's a little bit more soapy though.

The bottle is awesome and the perfume as well! Very good longevity. I feel rhuburb and patchouli, very interesting combination. Will be the best in winter!

L'Elephant has got to be the most unique perfume I own. It's Opium gone tropical--a mixture of lush, green jungle and exotic spices. Cardamom is outrageous! This isn't my favorite perfume, not by a long shot, but I don't think I could ever part with it. What could replace it in dexterity?

The other thing that really puzzles me is that after I've worn the perfume for about 15 minutes, a creamy vanilla egg custard develops. At that stage I can't stop sniffing! In time the custard wears down (boo!), and the perfume becomes more tart. I don't necessarily smell mango, unless it's green mango, which can be sour. I always hate any hint of sour, but in L'Elephant it's borderline pleasurable.

Licorice is straight-up weird in the middle of all of these exotic notes, but somehow it works. Or at least it works well enough to make this too unique for me to part with.

L'Elephant is a modern masterpiece!!!

I liked this fragrance from the first spray. But thats it just liked. Did not know i would end up loving it the longer it stayed on my skin. If i can describe it simply it would be creamy, lightly floral, and cocoa. Starts off masculine and then that cocoa and sweetness creeps into the fragrance and balances this in an amazing way. I wore this one time early in the morning and it was a little chilly, didnt know it was going to be a hot day that day. And suprisingly it did well. Not suggesting to use it in summer but im just saying. Love this stuff. Kinda stingy with it too. Can't wait for the cold to wear it more.

This does have an "old fashioned" feel, and though I own several vintage fragrances that I love, there is a sharp tinge to this one that makes it, well, generic "drug store-ey." It also seems to have that mixed berry-like note that so many scents seem to be using lately. Well, it is a bit more complicated than that- there's something interesting and puzzling, but the former two components are so bold that whatever 'mystery' or 'class' imbued by this perfume is too obscured for me.

all i know is everytime i try to add my "information" about this fragrance which i have not tried the comment disappears

Creeds MI smells way better than this. Sure they are similar but this one as a whole doesnt come close. It has more sour green in the scent and not as sweet. Kinda like Git gone bad mixed with a little Love and Luck. But it does last a long time. As a scent though, MI take it hands down. Just wish MI would last.

love this one!on me it's floral rather than fruity.I think it's perfect choice for summer days.

There is certainly nothing wrong with this fragrance. However, it leaves me very underwhelmed. It starts off clean powdery and soft and stays on the skin about 4 hours. If you like Curve- Crush- this has some similarities, IMO. But it's just sort of safe and powdery like deodorant or baby powder and there is not really any evolution or flare with this when I compare it side by side with one of my favorite powdery scents "Hiris-Hermes" which has a whimsical carrot note that saddles up to a smoother type of powdery iris and dries down into a blanket of natural skin. Kenzo's Flower just hangs around feeling a little trite, synthetic and forced and then just ends abruptly- it doesn't really melt into the skin and harmonize in my case. But it's affordable and decent sillage and a general soft clean powder scent for day or night- Winter-Spring, I would suggest. Possibily Summer nights for quiet intimate settings.

This is my second review.

When I first smelled this I thought “Yuck, sushi wrapped in heavy seaweed.” I never gave it another thought.

However, Thierry Muglers A*Men kept popping up in the reviews and on other threads here at Fragrantica. I am looking for something unique with longevity. My curiosity was pricked; I was almost convinced by the reviewers who admitted that the opening is horrible but that it evolves into something amazing with a decent longevity and a superb dry down.

So I tested it again yesterday with an open, unbiased mind. I applied three sprays on my wrist and then continued shopping. I am not a hyper critical or nasty reviewer but my goodness, the opening notes are nothing short of revolting. I almost felt nauseated by the sushi/seaweed stench. I thought, “Hang on, you are supposed to wait for a half hour for the middle to reveal its beauty.” There was no beauty, only a horrible concoction of everything I don’t like in a perfume.

At home I could not bear it anymore. I tried to like it, I really wanted to, but after wanting to hurl I scrubbed my wrist with soap and water. I made up my mind, this is the worst perfume I have ever smelled and I will not venture here again.

It is almost a pity. I have read so many positive reviews. I genuinely wanted to like this. Perhaps it clashes with my chemistry, Perhaps it reminds me of something negative that is buried deep inside my subconscious. Perhaps I am not looking for a scent that I must be patient with while it is supposed to change. Perhaps it just does not agree with me. I don’t know, but wow, this stuff is nothing short of terrible!

Similar with Rochas Man, indeed. Nice balanche fragrance!

My bottle arrived today from the USA and i must say i am in love with this smell. Its so dreamy and delicious i could eat myself right now lol. Strawberry and cream chupa chup yum!!!!!!!!!!!

Black Orchid is a jungle cat--it sneaks up on you! It definitely smells black and enigmatic. It starts out with strong gardenia and patchouli, but as it dries down it becomes a mix of chocolate and vanilla with gentle spices. It's just yummy enough to be satisfying, yet not sooo yummy that everyone will say, "You smell like the county fair," like they would say if you were wearing Pink Sugar.

Have you ever seen those "chocolate potatoes", the ones that are marshmallow in the center, covered in chocolate, and rolled in cocoa powder? It's that tuber note that makes this smell like an earthy chocolate potato. It's such a weird perfume but endlessly fascinating!

The projection is not as strong as I'd like. By the time it wears down a bit, it becomes a skin scent on me. I have literally sprayed myself about 7 times. I'd only need ONE spray from Angel to equal the strength of Black Orchid. Still...I love it. It's a keeper.

I've landed a bottle for the upcoming summer. It's such a yummy juice. Nothing out of this world tho. Just a simple decent day cologne. Refreshing but sweetish and with spicy undertones. An ultimate well-being enhancer!

This is a really beautiful and classic smelling oriental. It is quite vanillary and ambery on the skin, and to my nose it smells like a cross between Boucheron's Trouble and Gaultier 2.

Eau de Tommi Sooni II struck me straight away as the extravagant type. It has a slightly green and spicy opening, that later settles into a sensual and rich vanilla, amber and sandalwood blend. It doesn't smell overly unique, however it does have an undeniable charm. It exudes elegance and sophistication.

I especially enjoyed Eau de Tommi Sooni II's warmth. It would really suit a cold, rainy day or a strictly formal atmosphere. I am most intrigued by the slightly gourmand element, which comes across as smelling rather delicious but not necessarily foody. I think its sweet, syrupy nature will garner quite a few compliments.

Other than the dominant vanilla and amber blend, ylang ylang, jasmine, honey and rhubarb also feature quite well. Eau de Tommi Sooni II is actually rather complex in terms of its development.

This fragrance tends to smell more like a designer scent rather than niche. I mean that in the best possible way. The longevity and sillage are highly commendable, and I believe it's Eau de Tommi Sooni II's boldness that makes this fragrance truly lovable. I can't possibly praise this perfume enough.

I would go so far to say that this is Tommi Sooni's sexiest fragrance, and the one most likely to appeal to younger consumers.

This is straight up vile on me. A huge pity, since it smells so amazing on my mother! I love how all of these layering products smell...just not on me. It's as if the milk sours and everything else goes all plastic on me.

I think of this as the "cold" version of Horizon. If Horizon is Montauk Point on a mid autumn day, this one is the same place on the coldest day of winter. A great fragrance if this is the kind of experience you are seeking, though I prefer the softer Horizon.

Well I gave this one another chance and I love the spicy smell that it has to it. I just do not like this fragrance on me! I love Bvlgari fragrances they are all unique.

I simply love this. on my skin this is very sweet. Definitely a sexy evening scent.

WoOoW
What a nice scent
Something between dark and fresh with a little spicy
for special occasions

excellent

sillage 10/10
longevity 10/10, +6 hours

This is the at the top of my list of "most disliked" fragrances......... A month back I approached a man exiting a lift..... I was 3 metres from him!..... I was hit with "the stink"..... Like a punch in the throat!!!....... Just nasty.

I'm really excited about trying out her new fragrance. I can't wait to buy it!! Then I will give you my honest opimion about this new perfume.

Hi...

This is nice one,
For the first 2 hours it's remind me of sean john unforgivable

GOOD for a romantic night, also for the office

sillage 8/10
longevity 8/10, +6 hours

Warm and cozy. Sensual and not overpowering. Love the orange/peony combination. At first it seemed a bit strong, but tames with the warmth of your skin and becomes very smooth and relaxing. Not something I would wear everyday for every occasion. But I love it and will wear it often.

I absolutely love this fragrance! I got lucky with finding a mini on eBay a while ago and I have been searching in vain for more ever since. It gives the impression of a green chypre, but with lots of aldehydes and a rather highly pitched opening. It has a lot of throw, so I apply it very lightly if I want to wear it to work, but mostly I enjoy it at home. I hope I can find more someday. It is very much a scent for mature women, not girls, and it has a very "tailored" character, sharp and crisp, a little bit like the original Norell perfume; in fact, it would also be a really great masculine. Another great Seventies scent lost to time.

This is just the right mix of fruits, and flowers.
I smell hibiscus, and pinapple at the start, and then the sandalwood, and amber show up after a few minutes. I also get passionfruit in there as well.
This is a nice fragrance, and not too expensive.
I recommend this for daytime, and early evening casual dates.
I also think it would make a nice young lady's first perfume.

Too funny! I tested this and right away it reminded me of something, after about 30 seconds I realized it was red door. I haven't intentionally smelled red door since the mid 90s and I thought perhaps my memory was off. I came here to cross check the top notes and now I see that many of you are in agreement.

This is a bit of a spunky scent that should be a real crowd pleaser but not run of the mill. It seems pretty season-less and suitable for many occasions. A softer take on white florals with an incense backbone. Very nice!

Love it - does not last but not sure I care. Will definitely be buying a big bottle. I find the grapefruit really uplifting on a dull day and very refreshing on a sunny one.

Wow juicy pear, very realistic pear. Sweet, real, juicy & lovely what else can I say?

This scent is so lovely from what I remember! Funny how you can simply think of a fragrance and smell it in your mind. I remember loving this in high school. I would order samples from Nordies because we had no Nordies in my hometown. And I would be the only one wearing this and I felt so grown up!

This is in the same vein as Gieffeffe by Gianfranco Ferre. You definitely smell the nutmeg and the end result of this scent is soft, especially for a male fragrance, which can be a nice plus.

I find Linari NOTTE BIANCA to be quite a woody fragrance and more masculine than unisex. It reminds me of lots of cedar-heavy and cedarish colognes. Could it be iso-E-super? Whatever is responsible for the dominant cedary quality, it is much more pronounced than any of the other purported components. By the end, NOTTE BIANCA stays quite close to the skin and falls below the threshold of detection after a couple of hours.

I am assuming that "white night" in Italian means what it means in French: "blanche nuit" = all nighter. This fragrance will not keep you up all night, I feel compelled to observe.

It reminds me of the Marshmallows that my kindergarten teacher use to pass out. It's so soft, this fragrance is and conforting. The color I would attribute to this scent is not a color at all but a value, White.

Age: 24
Skin: normal-oily. Medium brown.
Preferences: Fruity, vanilla, watery, sweet, citrus (Will update)
Perfume nose: amateur

best season Spring - beginning of summer.. warm seasons
day/night- day early evening
the age of the woman who wears it- 27-40+
the persona of the woman who wears it golden, elegant, romantic slightly milfy?

peach, vanilla, frangipani, the notes are pretty bang on for my skin. it smells warm but it shouldnt get hot. it is definitely a good interpretation of a mature scent on paris hiltons behalf. The peach is backed by a warm vanilla with the frangipani and honeysuckle alternating in there. The citrus hint of sharpness comes out every now and again just to keep things exciting. i was thinking perhaps an addition of amber but i think the flowers and peach is accentuated enough by the vanilla, sandalwood and musk. The drydown is a nice musk.

The woman for this scent is definitely more of a mature woman who wears gold based jewellery. she moves in an elegant manner and almost has a golden aura. this scent is definitely good with white or warmer based neutral tones. modest? not always she may come off abit sexual, but she doesnt quite detect it? I think this scent is likely to attract younger men as it has youthful notes packed in an overall mature scent. If this were to happen if this woman could.. she would ;)

if you are within this age range, match this type of description and like the notes or this type of scent. i would suggest you give this one a try its not a huge risk and its more forgiving.

I love this fragrance! I tried it out at Kohls and I honestly thought I would be disappointed, however I think it's very nice! Yes, there is nothing really spectacular about the scent but it still smells good. And the bottle is too cute! I will be adding it to my collection of celeb scents.

As far as the scent, it smells like some sort of sophisticated fruit punch with vanilla.

I tested this in Ulta and loved it so much for the first hour. It was vanilla deliciousness, but not overly sugary. However, after that it changed into a strange soapy smell that I wasn't impressed with. I really want to give it another try!

Bought this today from Chemist Warehouse, $31 for 100ml! Unbelievably cheap!! I'm in love with the bottle and the smell, I can not stop spraying my self, it is delcicious. Now I can't wait to step out of the house with this yummy fragrance on :D
xx

I got a 1oz. bottle of this for a really good price at Ross. I wasn't really expecting too much as I'm not fond of many CK scents. I'm actually pretty impressed by Beauty. It's simple, light, and a beautifully blended floral. This is an everyday scent that doesn't overpower you. It's softer than most scents I wear, but I really enjoy it for warm spring days. If you need a scent that is light and not offensive to anyone, Beauty would be a good option.

*I think it's odd that it's marketed toward women over the age of 40 because I really think this is a scent that absolutely anyone of any age could wear. Not overly mature spelling at all.

This is my second review on this and this time I have purchased it! I still love it!Now it seems like a cross between that fun dip white powder we ate as kids and the praline, still in love! Scored it for $20 at Ross! Ppl seem to sleep on this one but that's just means everyone will not wear it. Great!


Update: After abt 10 mins, this is similar to Candies brand fragrance. And the reason being is that Candies also has peach and has mandarin orange, however this one has tangerine. Same difference. My nose figured it out. lol

This is not exactly Eau Sauvage. This perfume is a quite different fragrance, it belongs to another world. The citric scent is bergamote type, a bitter, resinous, dark, deep, smoky and rich citric scent.

Eau Sauvage Parfum is one of the best fragrances I ever tried, but it seems Dior has done a very weak advertising campaign.

I discoverted this perfume just by chance on a short trip. It was not available in the whole city and even not advertised anywhere. Even in Dior dealers in big department stores there was not publicity and not availability at all. I saw it by chance in a very important shop and I was thinking... another Eau Sauvage, and I didn't feel attracted (I like Eau Sauvage, but not specially), but then I tried...

What I discovered was an incredibly delicious, bitter, resinous and smoky citric perfume that quickly made me fall in love with it. It's a longlasting, enveloping, mysterious and rich fragrance that I couldn't stop buying it immediately. Next month I have to come back to this city and I'll buy one more bottle just in case. I cannoot pass without this perfume anymore.

I think the problem is that many people, when they see Eau Sauvage Parfum are just looking for an intense version of fresh Eau Sauvage and here comes the disappointment. It's absolutely not the same. I believe if Dior made a good ad campaign "explaining" that this new fragrance is a different, mysterious and dark scent, but not just a stronger version of Eau Sauvage it would attract more customers.

An intoxicating rich floral with a bright side. The orange fruit notes create a beautiful freshness while the intensive orange blossom and honey contrast in their sweetness. There's an unusual smooth cool-warm development to Code, quite different, interesting, elegant, versatile and sexy.

I wore this for a few years in the 90s. It smelled like powdered donuts on me! I did really love it though. Swapped it for Tuscany Per Donna.

I agree this smells very similar to CK Eternity. I bought it unsniffed. I happened to have Eternity on the same day I bought this. I got into the car and sprayed it right away. I kept smelling the spot I sprayed it and thinking that I was smelling the Eternity I put on earlier as it smelled the same. Then I realized that wow, it was the same scent. Sexual smells a bit more sophisticated and rich. Lasting power is average. I like this alot and would buy it again.

I am a Moschino fan, so when I saw this one on sale I grabbed it without sniffing (there was no tester and I have never been disappointed yet with a Moschino)

Boy! Is this a fruity-fresh-summer-orangey-with-surprise-in-the-drydown scent!

At first spray a freshly squeezed orange with zest and a bit of grapefruit greets me like it's the first morning! It's quite refreshing and cheery. (At this point I am wondering if it will be like Happy by Clinique?)
Shortly after the citrus fruits popped their heads up, I can smell a hint of a red-current note and "can it be?" I smell far into the distance a flower note? Rose? Hmmm it's quite different. And halfway towards the drydown I can detect a soft powdery note that urges the fruity notes to calm down and settle.

In the drydown it becomes apparent that the fruity notes listened and on my wrists there is now a powdery soft and very yummy fruity floral that is being embraced by cedar, musk and a hint of pepper notes. It's very yummy and a wonderfully cheery sunny summer scent, yet it's also very comforting and relaxing.

To my nose it's not like Happy by Clinique -- Happy is far more linear whereas this scent is going through several stages of development that are fun to sniff! It's also nothing like another orange 'suspect' that I own and love, Liberte by Cacharel -- Liberte has patchouli & sandalwood notes that give it a smokey sensation. No, I can't detect any 'smoke signals' in I Love Love.

No: I Love Love is the happy middle sister of the other two. A wonderful fruity/spicy/floral (more fruit and spice than floral) and is great for summer days & nights and all occasions you want to feel happy & sunny.

Silage is: "Boy, this is one weird sunny yet delicious fruity aura" -- Longevity is:"I started out very citrusy, but give me a moment and I will be sweet, gourmand yet powdery for the next 5+ hours".

Great fun to wear and a real happy scent for those 'pick-me-up moments'. Sniff before purchase it is a 'weirdo' that you will love or think too nuts for an orange! ; )


::NB:: I saw that I Love Love is often compared to Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana, well I own LB too & when I compare the two I can smell an aura of Light Blue around Love Love, but LB is more 'mature' and less fruity than Love Love. Same family different characters to my nose.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

A little plastic-ish (rhubarb) at first but the dry down is great. Slight 1M hint to it. Could be used as an alternative for PR1M in the summer. At least to my nose.

Sweet and fruity, I love it. It makes me feel fun and happy. I got it for a great price. The bottle is adorable and feminine and I like the black ribbon. I love sweet scents so this fits my personality well. If you like scents like Pink Sugar, you'll like this.

Day 6 of wearing EN and I'm falling for it even more! To me, it's the closest a perfume comes close to Black Truffle...

En is sex in a bottle!

One of my most favorite scents. Worse longevity ever. Bummer.

I love this perfume. I get more compliments when I wear it than I do when I wear my Escape by Calvin Klein that cost $70.

Pleasantly sweet, warm fresh-spicy, I see the resemblance between both Joop and Indviduel, but OS is fresher, brighter. A nice tangy orange is quite apparent, blended with the rich cinnamon and subtle vanilla creating an appealing candy-like feeling that's charming without being juvenile or cloying. Great casual wear scent with good longevity.

Al-Rehab Silver Scent ????
you just need $10 for Al-Rehab Silver not $100. LOL

I rescued this one from a friend who was going to throw it away because he prefers sweeter frangances for men. I smelled it and like it. My first impression was; very woody, then spice with some citrus. Very simple but catching. Definitely for men. Going to give it to someone who has appreciation for it.

This one has the same kind of leather note as Cumming the Fragrance (I'm guessing that's what it is, though it is accompanied by an almost ammnonia-like element), but without the tobacco and peat notes. Instead it has an interesting vegetal and gunpowder/steel like quality. I think this is the combination of a lot of violet and the spruce, but I don't get the agarwood so that might be part of it too. It comes together fairly quickly and seems linear after that. Other than a slight metallic quality, this is about as rich and natural fragrance as one could hope for in such a simple scent. My preference is for softer and more complex fragrances, but this is certainly very good for what it is, and a good example of contemporary niche done right.

Just got a vintage bottle on ebay and it smells DIVINE...exactly as I remember when I wore it 23 years ago. It is a subtle skin scent, great for everyday, casual, fresh and clean. It does have a wonderful "lived in" feeling about it though. The longevity is amazing - even after all these years - a testiment to the quality of Givenchy. C'est si bon.

My nose first meets the melon, quickly becoming creamy like tonka beans or pralines... The chocolate is quite milky to me here! I loooove that fresh yet opulent opening. So adequate for Spring or Summer. Fluffy ( I seem to chase those 'fluffy' ones down lately, lol) and gourmand without an unpleasantly heady jasmine note.Raspberries and chocolate milk seem to last the longest on my skin, followed by the honey sweet melon. The drydown becomes a beautiful and noticeable creamy cherry-vanilla musk on me . Just lovely. Like a hug, it wraps u up... with luv!

I have a fond memory of my mother scooping me up in a hug wearing this when I was little. The smell mixed with the cold rainy smell of the pacific northwest USA on her sage trench coat makes me smile...and wish for just one more hug.

It's loud and I won't wear it, but it is what I'd call classy on the right person (it was on her). I keep the half full bottle to smell every once in a while.

I really miss this one. It was the epitome of summer "cool".

Vicky Tiel Tickled Pink is fresh, fruity, and sweet! Tropical passion fruit, juicy wild strawberry, and fresh island mango. I also get a hint of something that smells like papaya or guava. This fragrance is most definitely a fruity sweet scent instead of a candy or sugary sweet scent like fragrances that have sugar or cotton candy in them. Considering the fact that you can get Tickled Pink at a reasonable price the scent quality is amazing! I really love this fragrance!

So far, I am playing it safe (lol) and declaring I LIKE that lovely!Rose - Tea-time in the backyard where the grass has just been mown , anyone? The angel cakes frosted with mandarin-vanilla cream are on Bianca: Snow White one might say... She is boldly bubbly at the begining, but as she gets comfy with you, a tender part of her emerges. Suddenly you find yourself with her in a lush and sweet-smelling rose-garden . A suave ocean breeze seems to waft by for a brief moment. You can almost taste the salt and smell the sand. I figure it might be the mix of green tea and lavender. I find it smells very little musky or perhaps I simply don't detect the note, but that sugary-mandarin sure clings! I think like is turning into Loooove! I find it has that 'Allure' vibe but the longevity on Bianca is amazing on me.
I THANK YOU CAKES AND CUDDLES FOR GIFTING ME WITH THIS. YOU ARE AWESOME (AND SOO GENEROUS!)!

I am shocked at the horrible reviews. Cashmere mist is a sweet, soft fragrance for the woman who doesn't feel the need to shout to be heard. It is powdery, yes but not "old lady " to me. There is just enough of everything.... floral, musk, powder to combine into a pretty ,classy LADY's perfume. I am not good at isolating notes yet . I do know beautiful though. I like Cashmere Mist.

I really love this fragrance . It is beautiful and really changes depending on a person's body chemistry but it works for most , just takes on a different form . Very girly, bright , a mix between a sweet richness and fruity floral scent .

Adjectives such as cosy, snug, comfortable, warm, safe and secure spring to mind upon reflection of the sensibilities Jessica Simpson's Fancy Nights evoke in me.

I experienced an overwhelming surge of comfort adorned in FN yesterday. Emotionally the restful aroma of efflorescent patchouli and the friendliest vanilla-rose-incense I have ever met conjured the sensation of my Nan being near.

She would have loved this perfume. Nan was a Passion (Elizabeth Taylor) Girl in her day. No-one wore Passion as elegantly as my Grandmother!

Fancy Nights is mildly reminiscent of the evocative allure of Passion. A memory. A feeling.

Wonderful.

When this perfume is alone, I kind of feel like its missing something . But when I layer this with Ralph Lauren Hot , it turns into something magical ! I got a lot of compliments from men , who said it smelled amazing on me . I wouldn`t wear this fragrance alone .

The initial burst of cinnamon is a bit much for my liking but GOD DAMN that drydown is special!

Love it!

I get the best hint of a pear floral here, even though it is not classified in the notes. I get a vanillary undertone and a musky base note. this perfume is great for casual wear or work or even at a gym. its an easygoing scent i must say as it is non intrusive and not very cloying; the great thing about a fresh scent.I can smell PINK however but a well behaved light pink.

this perfume has a multi range persona but i think it is a more youthful scent easier for teens to transition into that "acceptance" phase. Its for someone not yet bogged down by bills and responsibilities. a person of optimism, friendliness, naive not yet aware of the worlds woes. they have that envied type of freedom, people would die for. bubbly innocent a great way ti describe youth.

Mom's, mothers this is an ideal scent for your teenaged daughter. it smells semi mature for a teen aged girl if you find candy sickly sweet smelling scents intrusive to your nose, its a very feminine scent =]

This is best described as a raunchy barnyard encounter captured in a bottle. There's a certain deep earthiness in this scent that sits somewhere between comforting and edgy at the same time (depending on your mood and perspective).

This scent works the wick on both ends. There's the civet and cumin that give it that undeniably funky, sweaty animalic tension, while the roses and patchouli soothe and caress. And wow, the wick burns for hours - well beyond a day at work, followed by a gym session, dinner and shower.

What's most surprising is that during the course of the day, your nose can pick up different facets of this multi-dimensional scent. Two parts warmth, three parts sex dirty and one part animal farm.

It's never linear and has a tendency to play with your mind. It's completely dependent on the wearer's association with certain cues and smells, which gives this scent another dimension beyond its listed notes.

Definitely worth a try, but proceed with an open mind.

I sort of bought this on a whim because all of my perfumes are winter/fall gourmands and I felt like I needed something fresh and clean for the summer. It smells like white tea and pepper with a big dash of musk. It actually reminds me quite a bit of colognes marketed to men, which may account for why men (supposedly) love this scent on women. While this is a summery perfume, I'm finding that the musk in this can make the perfume feel a bit heavy, especially if you've got a headache. Spritz with caution.

Ginger Essence smells like lemon iced tea with a splash of sweet ginger. While not listed in its notes, there is a distinct cardamom note at the base of this scent, furthering the tea/chai associations for me.

Extremely refreshing, this scent it perfect for the summer and for when I'm feeling a bit nauseated or headachey due to the meds I'm on. I imagine this would be great for pregnant women, or for people who are sensitive to perfumes. This is the kind of scent where it's impossible to spray on too much, which is wonderful because I like to mist this all over and occasionally into the air around me.

Unfortunately, the lasting power of this perfume is decidedly weak and fades extremely quickly. I'm considering buying the rollerball for touch-ups but the cost is a major deterrent right now.

If you're wondering what the difference is between this and the Intense version, I was told that the Intense doesn't have as much of the citrus, and it has a longer staying power. Knowing that, I still went with this one because I was looking for something light. I'm extremely pleased with this, and have been wearing it non-stop since I bought it!

It's very fruity! I get like a plum jam, lemon biscuit and vanilla almond in there too. Very summer spring scent. It's a daytime scent for sure as there is a "sunny" vibe to this blend. It's a gourmand, but a lighter style than what I'm used too. I will give this another o in spring/summer!

i think this is a great scent,fresh longlasting,as long as its in the original white glass bottle,not the plastic bpa junk it is sold in now.

I received mine today from my brother in Germany. Along with this fragrance, he introduced me to the history of this cologne which was quite fascinating. I love the simplicity and crispness of this scent. The notes are blended so well together it is just pure and fresh ... perfect on a warm day or after a work-out. There are so many clean and soapy fragrances out there but I just love this classic one. Lasting power is weak but I can spray this on me over and over and it will always be appealing to my senses.

Got a sample through a friendly swap, as of course the bottle and name took my interest.
Initially I smell soft ginger spice with a soft, vanilla, sweet sandalwood & almond warmth. It's a soft and warm perfume. I kep thinking "this reminds me of something! But What?"
It took a while, and of course its "Artemisia"! But with a soft Ginger spice added to it.
I would say this is a gourmand fragrance.

I love this fragrance and I wish I could purchase it, it's so pricey though...I will have to do with samples until I can collect the pennies to buy it. At first I too thought it had no lasting power but i found that it lasts longer on clothing, so I spray it all over myself before I leave for work, it gives me such a pick me up on cloudy days that's for sure. Usually I'm not a fan of citrus but this is citrus done just right!

When I think of Chloe Love, an image that comes to mind is a gorgeous long floaty dress made of light transparent layers of blush, rose and mauve chiffon silk… the dress moves in the wind and forms a delicate floating trail….. this fragrance evokes a similar feeling -- it's soft, clean, romantic and undeniably luxurious.

Is this even available anymore???
Its perfect for summer.
The dry oil spray was perfect for spritzing into your hair after a day at the pool.

Gosh, i miss this one so much.
Why did it have to be discontinued!
I really can't find anything that matches it.

One of my favorites since a tester i lucked upon.
Just had to buy more after that!
Hard to find. But worth the cost.
Try to find it for purchase in Canada...It ain't gonna happen.
But even after the exhorbant shipping and handling, customs fees and taxes hit me, I was still super pleased with my purchase.
Really happy all you need is one spritz to last you the day though.

Gale Hayman Delicious Cotton Candy is exactly that, cotton candy! The ultra sweet scents of caramel, sugar, and vanilla mixed with subtle notes of strawberry and clementine makes this fragrance a delightfully sweet treat! Yumm!

This is yummy cinnamon goodness. Not as sweet as a cinnamon heart and not sharp at all. It's an everyday scent for me. Perfect for layering.

This smells EXACTLY like RED PEARL PARIS BLEU, which I already own and think is just okay. And (please forgive me for stepping outside the bounds of propriety that dictate that everyone's opinion is just as valid as everyone else's) but after reading the comparisons to ESTEE LAUDER PRIVATE COLLECTION AMBER YLANG YLANG and blind-buying the Gaultier based on that comparison, all I could think when sniffing the Gaultier was, "YOU PEOPLE ARE NUTS! This smells ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like EL Amber Ylang Ylang."

Can you tell I'm annoyed? :-) Well, it's my fault for blind-buying again after I'd sworn I wouldn't anymore . . .

This perfume is very light, extremely linear, with I guess just enough amber to qualify it as an oriental, but it reminds me of a pleasant body wash or lotion. I am disappointed.

I don't usually enjoy white chocolate, but mixed with the chai tea, cinnamon and cardamom, It is just delicious.

From the iconic black pepper body range (Shower gel and body lotion etc) from Molton Brown comes the long awaited and much requested (according to counter staff in London) Black Pepper fragrance.

Sadly, this scent bares no resemblance to the invigorating peppery fragrance used in the body range. It starts off with a relatively sharp burst of spice but fades into nothing after about an hour.

Perhaps this is a cheap cynical cash-in on a successful range with an already strong following. Or perhaps Molton Brown is simply not equipped with the right know-how or technology to make a decent fragrance. In most cases, the fragrance comes first, followed by the body range. Black Pepper edt is taking a back to front approach - inventing an edt to compliment the body range instead of the other way around.

Either way, it hasn't worked and a huge disappointment. Stick to the body range if you want to experience the peppery scent in its full glory.

This is a great sweet and spicy smell.
And i really loved it UNTIL my kids emptied the entire bottle spraying it on everything in their room. I will say this, the scent sure does last...lol
Now, in small amounts. Not so bad. Does tend to give me headaches though. Pity.

I have been wearing this since i received it for the first time on my 13th birthday.
31 years later, i still love it.
It is a classic.

I adore Brit EDP - it's what I would consider my signature scent. No matter how many fragrances I try, I always come back to this one. It's warm, rich, slightly sweet and just overall beautiful and alluring. I don't get much, if any, lime on my skin. It's just the perfect vanilla with something that reminds me of cuddling in front of a cozy fire, or snuggling up under a warm blanket. I guess I would call it a "comforting" scent, but it also gets many compliments from men and women alike. It's very inviting in that sense - giving off a "come hither" vibe, and then embracing in a veil of serenity and seduction.

I mainly wear this in the winter, as it can be pretty heavy for warmer weather. But each and every time the temperature drops in the fall, I look forward to pulling out my trusty bottle of Brit.

This was a truly lovely and seductive scent. I hope to find a vintage bottle of it.

Im surprised no one mentioned the similarity to Lolita Lempicka. To me Jimmy Choo Jimmy Choo is a watered down version of LL with not so great projection and  poor lasting power. 
If you like JC try Lolita Lempicka Le Premier Parfum :) 

Chanel No. 22 is the perfume version of tennis whites, maybe a precision-pleated skirt and a Lacoste polo shirt. Worn with a blonde bob that has been cut with a satelite-guided laser. I used to wear a very soft pima-cotton Lacoste tennis shirt as sort of an armor of preppiness against a confusing world. No. 22 could serve the same purpose.

Florals brighter than the sky at noon are riding on a wave of soapy aldehydes. After about a half hour to an hour, the most subtle incense note appears and prevents it from being too self-consciously aloof.

This scent is really one of a kind.
It is just so spicy and delicious and wonderful.
And i love the fact that it is not sweet and does not contain fruit!
One of my all time favorites. Will buy again and again.

Wow! This is a big bold white floral if I've ever smelled one. I wore a tiny bit and it's as if there was a giant jasmine cloud hovering around everywhere I went. It lasted forever on my skin, and even trying to wash it off didn't really tackle the smell still lingering on with me after hours of wear. Honestly, the more it dried down on me, the more it smelled like some kind of ben-gay or other skin ointment typically used for sore muscles. Such a great bottle though and I'm sure it smells great on others - just not on me.

Goddess of orientals. I circled around Shalimar for a few years before falling completely and hopelessly in love with it. Citrus, incense, vanilla, wood, softened by a little powder. I can't get enough of it. I can see why some say it is a love it or hate it, because it takes a state of mind and attitude to wear it, but I've never been happier with a decision (perhaps a similar infatuation was and is with Mitsouko). It is one of those perfumes that have such a fascinating character, it makes me feel very sexy, strong yet feminine, alluring. It has a very captivating character that invites you to explore its mysterious nature, like a piece of art that draws your curiousity further into its sublime depths, from which you will refuse to return.

@melia funny you say that it smells like pure poison , the nose is Carlos Benaim, who also created pure poison!

The sphere-shaped bottle twists in half, revealingBritney Spears,Pop icon is releasing yet another fragrance, Britney Spears Fantasy Twist. The two-in-one perfume brings together two of the singer’s most popular scents, Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy.

“With Fantasy Twist, I wanted to combine two of my black cherries, framboise and plum. Fans can layer the two perfumes or wear them separately.
PS the new updated bottle is GORGEOUS!!!!So excited to own this one!
favorite fragrances into a sophisticated bottle, giving my fans the power to choose the scent they desire at any given moment,” -Britney Spears.


two smaller bottles in pink and blue (the singer’s favorite colors), one of each scent. The classic Fantasy is the muskier of the two, with notes of jasmine petals and white-chocolate orchid, while Midnight Fantasy is warmer and features wafts of

Snooki by Nicole Polizzi is a sugary, tropical, fruity heaven! I was expecting melon or apple to be the fruity top note but was surprised to find out it was actually kiwi! Deliciously sweet with sugar. litchi, and cupcakes. Along with the kiwi the quince gives this fragrance a nice fruity kick! This scent is like a party in a bottle! Love it!

I love it. But doesnt last at all.

I ordered this as a blind buy hoping that the scent was going to be a heavy coconutty pina colada cocktail with white florals or something to make it more interesting and mature. Well, I am disappointed to find that the scent is definitely shampoo/soapy with little coconut (very faint on me). I keep sniffing my wrist and thinking of "shampoo" although I cannot tell you which one it reminds me of.

It is a pretty scent, and reminds me of the beach, and suntan oils. Perhaps some conditioner left in your wet hair to counteract the harsh sea water and/or chlorine. It is a low-key scent, perhaps a little too low-key for me, as it smells like I'm not wearing fragrance at all. Just a residual leftover scent from my shower that morning.

This is wonderful! Classy and youthful. Perfect for young girls from 15 to 21. I love the popcorn in it. It adds and extremely unique and peculiar sensation to this fragrance and that's what makes it unique and classy.

A top shelf yet inexpensive 80's style cologne, Lapidus is truly an excellent strong scent that mixes dark woods and spices with sweetness and some dirtiness. A good choice for Steve McQueen-like cool guys.

This is my favorite out of the line and gardenia is the second. I love tuberose so that's why! Its lovely.

What a great scent....smells much more expensive than what it is, and beats most designer men colognes out there.

Perceive starts very fresh and energetic, citrus and minty. Then it starts to change...still fresh, but it becomes more oriental....more sweet and woody.

This is supposed to be a cologne...weird part is, on me, it lasts more than 85% of the EDT's i have!.

I totally like this one a lot. As a matter of fact, I've been using it so much, that had to order another bottle.

THis is pretty but more of the same LL, just another pretty name! lots of licorice and anis.I like it, but I dont wear the typical LL.They are more suited for young girls.This is a soft and tender licorice scent.

The opening was so exciting and fresh.. Something carressed my nostrils...Citrus? Then the heart...I totally adore the frangipani. And the base...woody, musky and I was thinking at some point - dont u smell like something i know? Must be the vanila...cuz Dior's Hypnotic Poison and Hugo Deep Red crossed my mind right about then.

For the first time in my life, I fingered the musk. Strong one. But I feel so bad that I'm new at this and cant put a finger on the note I'm enjoying rightnow. I dont have a clue what the name is...but I just cant keep my wrist away from my nose. This perf is a keeper.

I just tested this! it's already available in Belgium. It smells exactly like Lady million edp but with a more floral signature, it is just a little airier and less sweet , but still sweet enough. I like it a lot! Nice lasting power for an edt but I already have the edp and there is only a 6 euro price difference between the edp and edt so I will stay with the edp. For now.

I like Montale Patchouli Leaves better.

I strongly dislike this fragrance. Other people smell sweet, whereas when I smell it I smell bug spray. It has a strong alcohol smell. It never turns into anything beautiful or amazing. I ended up taking this perfume back to where I bought it.

A simple comment: I LOVE IT!!!
