very woody and earthy to my nose. the patchouli i suppose, maybe a litle too much for me. i am not a big fan of patchouli and like it in small doses, not when it takes over. dry down is better, it turns more floral and a tad sweeter. the vanilla finally kicks in. very smokey and kind of masculine, but well-made. not my favorite from the line, but i will wear it occasionally. i find anything with a lot patchouli in it lasts amazingly long on me. this one dosen't disappoint.

A really nice earthy sweetness. It initially spritzes as bergamot and berry, but almost immediately dries down to a warm swirl of tonka and very nicely done patchouli. Sometimes patchouli comes off as smooth and sweet, and here, it does that. I can sense a little pepper spicing up the edges. This is a nice choice for a sweet, earthy, slightly spicy fragrance. It has very good lasting power, but I find it mostly to be a skin scent. Spritzed this on when I was purchasing my bottle of Hooked on Carmella. I eventually covered this one with Carmella and they mix very nicely! I think I'll try it again soon...

Sweet but Spicy! It's a luscious sweet like a like something you'd want to eat and a warm-peppery spice, cozy and inviting. Kind of seductive even. I love it. Thought the scent doesn't last long and nor does the bottle. The bottle is pretty small. But I am in love with this scent and would certainly buy it again & would love to explore all of the Crescent Row scents. Should my college gal, starving artists funds ever permit ... hah!

Such a seductive perfume. I wore it last night and my boyfriend couldn't stop kissing me! Definately one for romantic occassions but more the younger generation e.g 28 and under! Love this perfume, although lee lee is good too

Opens with a big blast of pineapple, not listed in the notes. Then it is joined by the other fruit notes, plus peony and lily, and then comes the vanilla. You can definitely smell each ingredient as it joins in. I don't get any pepper. This is a pretty and quite sweet fruity floral, which is not my style unfortunately, but I am glad of the chance to try it (thanks for the sample sofiii). This may have been aimed at the more mature woman, and they would have no trouble wearing it, but on the whole it seems a younger, more carefree fragrance.

Although other reviewers' opinions seem to differ, I would classify this is a floral fruity, not oriental woody.

My Place or Yours Gina is a lovely surprise from the Cresent Row, it starts with woody sweetness with a hint of somewhat old time charm as in those you can see from those 50s, 60s movies. Somehow it reminiscents Tous In Heaven Her, but much smooth, much woodier and much less synthetic sugary. A little bit patchouli is already present here, as a nice hint in the background. Somehow weird enough, I can see an Angel copycat here, which has failed so much, and it has totally become a different perfume on its own. It’s like Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox, even though Megan somewhat looks like Angelina, but she lacks a lot of things that Angelina has, but still, Megan Fox is nice, young, pretty and sexy on her own.

The perfume is quite linear to me, and towards the seemingly dry down, it’s just more blended, and less edgy. Not a bad perfume at all, but somehow, I feel there’s a lack of something here, but again, it’s a perfume from Benefit, and more aiming at the younger generation who might just get into the world of body sprays, or those who are young at heart, and loves pretty bottles, so My Place or Yours Gina is nice and pretty enough.

I absoloutly love this! Between the three this is my definate favorite. Its so smokey but sweet at the same time, it has a spiciness that I just adore and as you can see its also a bonus that we share the same name!
Its definately somthing that would attract peoples attention, its a very, very unique smell and nothing like anything I've ever worn before!

A clean, floral fragrance with a warm hospitality all the way through. More of a melting pot of notes rather than a cleverly layered collage. However, the clean, astringency of pepper hovers barely distinguishable overhead, saving this apartment from becoming too pedestrian.

Classic, prosaic, comforting. One for your place, not his.

This one is from the kind of scents I prefer to wear ) Berry-fruity, a little peppery and floral. Seductive, but not overpowering, not too sharp and not too soft. Not too sour. It is my favorite from this series of six scents

Very fruity floral scent with sweet gourmand quality. I also get this peppery note in the mix and it is nice. I am not exactly sure but it has this tarty fruity smell of Versace Versus (newly relaunch) and the peppery fruity kick of Gucci Guilty as far as the begining of it. Few hours later, this Gina turns into light sweet and warm oriental. I don't think I get anything woodsy but the peppery note is still detectable at base. My Place or Yours Gina is the coziest one of all these row house perfumes. If you love the peppery fruity scent, then this is for you, but be cautious it is still quite sweet.

A sweet smelling gourmand perfume.

It smells like vanilla, praline, chocolates with fragrant flowers.

A glamorous scent.

As one could suggest with the provocative name, My place or yours Gina is supposed to be the most seductive of the series.

I wouldn't call it a femme fatal, however I do find it very intriguing and in some ways, sensual.

My place or yours Gina tends to be all about the fruits. When I first smelt this I immediately thought dark, juicy black currant, tangerine and a touch of spice. The fruity notes are not lively or refreshing, they are somewhat dark and brooding. More like a fruity scent for night-time wear.

Vanilla and patchouli smooths out the scent nicely, adding a somewhat earthy, sweet component to the already rich and tart-like fruits.

If we must refer to this fragrance as being sexy, it's sexy in a conservative sense. Not nearly as wild as some may expect. I actually define all of the fragrances in this series as being slightly old-fashioned, like something one would wear way back in the 40's and 50's.

Although My place of yours Gina has been intended for a more mature crowd, I do believe that young girls will lap this fragrance up. Dark fruity scents seem to be all the rage these days.

Mocny, słodki, wyrazisty. Pachnie jak perfumy Beyonce ;) Za słdki na rano, za lekki na wieczór. Więc chyba dobry w środku dnia, na jakis spacer, nic zobowiązującego. Inny od pozostałych. Można kochać lub nienawidzić. Ja raczej lubię :)

Mmmm, best of the three. The citrus in the opening is hardly noticeable and vanishes quickly. Then I get lots of yummy raspberries with cream, sexed up with a little pink pepper. I can't easily find the flowers, there's only a dash in there to keep it from smelling too candy-ish, if there is such a thing ;). Lasts most of the day, shifting toward the vanilla & patchouli by evening. Draws lots of compliments. Love the mini cocktail shaker bottle. Wish this came larger than only 1oz.

I bought this but ending up returning it. Smells first fresh and a bit spicy. But after a while it turns mold. Not plessant at all

I'm not impressed by Crescent Row Trilogy and Benefit in general. I had to try them all anyway :-)
The packaging is so cute and different!
LeeLee smells just like fruit juice and tangerine to me. Meh.
Sofia... OMG, terrible on my skin! It smells like fresh sliced tomato for salad and I can't stand tomato in any form! There is no tomato listed, I know :-/
Gina is the best one! It smells like something new and old at the same time. It's peppery, oriental spicy and still bright and frilly! Not very long lasting but quite nice. I had a sample vial and used it till the last drop, but I don't think it's worthy a bottle.

This one I like more than the other two in the collection, but that's not saying much. None of them are bad... I wouldn't refuse wearing it. They're all just very underwhelming and generic.

I smelled this at Macy's the same day I bought Queen by Queen Latifah, and they both smell THE SAME. It's dark and sweet, just like Queen and reminds me of Angel. I couldn't believe it. It was like I had sprayed Queen on the card

I really like all three scents in the Crescent Row line, with Gina and LeeLee being my two favorite. Gina smells very fruity and sweet, but not in a sugary way at all. I smell every note listed except for the patchouli, (which is a slight disappointment). The pink pepper and raspberry make for a beautiful opening. Gina develops quickly and the peony, vanilla and tonka bean carry the fragrance through to the base. If I could change one thing about any of these frags, it would be that they were EDPs rather than EDTs- the lasting power is rather short.

My absolute favorite of the three. It smells like a gorgeous smokey, sweet pineapple. There's also an aroma of pine, I don't know sort of clean and cool smelling. Very attractive on, and the bottle looks like a piece of art. The dry-down is sort of a musky vanilla. Sofia would be my 2nd choice, and lee lee not really in the running.
