Carlos Santana for Women Carlos Santana for women

I just revisited this recently. I like it, though I don't love it. Good summery scent but it doesn't last very long. I kinda reminds me of Miami Glow but MG lasts much longer.

Interesting scent, not exactly what I'd expect from Carlos Santana. What would I expect from Santana? Oh, I dunno, something along the lines of Black Magic Woman, on the dark side, with notes of incense, patchouli, amber maybe some deep red roses, something exotic. Perhaps something with a Latin flair, or a hippie-esque scent, something spicy and/or earthy. But that's just me.

Here we have Carlos Santana for women, which in spite of my preconceptions, isn't so bad. Starts off very fruity, as in slightly fermented fruit. I do think I have to beware of juice in orange bottles because this, and Liberte by Cacheral, both give a ripe fruit scent, Liberte much more so-that dries as rotten fruit on my skin. (I'm sure not all juice in orange bottles smells the same, but both these bottles sort of reminded me of each other) But the fruits in CS dry down quickly leaving an enjoyable beachy gourmand scent, not too bad. I smell more coconut than chocolate. It's something I'd wear in summer, I'll put it away for then. Would I go out and buy a bottle? I already did, a steal at the price. A blind buy, but not a regrettable one.

hmmm...at first i was wondering if this would smell like dali dalimania....but this is a carbon copy of bvlgari notte!!! amazing....dark chocolate ganache and powdered iris. same as bvlgari notte!!! if you have one you don't need the other, they are the same! i dare you to tell the difference on a blind sniff test. btw, if you've read my review on notte, you can already guess...i adore this santana scent as well

Yesterday I smelled this one again! AMAZING!!! Gorgeous strong gourmand perfume and REAL value for your money! Stayes a very long time too! EXCELLENT choice!

A nice light scent, with warm floral notes, but it doesn't really last long on me and it isn't really as different as the notes suggest. I was a little disappointed, as I was expecting something with a little more raunch and rock to it.

quite thrilled to get a very large tester bottle of this today,so far enjoying it there in the crook of my elbow.Quite a strong coconut presence.

Sharp & almost alcoholic to start - a fermented tropical fruit punch - but then Santana mellows into a mid-weight, warm & "golden" scent, just like the bottle.

A little bit floral (lily) a little bit fruity, Santana lazily slides into a sunset oriental filled with musky, woodsy, caramel plums & coconut. Not too sugary, it has a nice level of sweetness tempered by the smooth sandalwood & dark chocolate.

I agree with Action that there is a slight resemblance to Princess in the dry-down, but Santana never goes girly or reaches P's fuzzy sweetness.

Pretty good, all-in-all...but I'm not running out to buy it.

Thanks to the advice and the accurate sense 'fragrance-person' of NathalieZ I have a sample of this jewel. On my skin is a woody-gourmand fragrance... a kind of sharp Miami Glow in the beginning and then...... I have an aura of sweet creamy plum chocolate..... this fragrance reaaaaaaally works for me

The opening has a sort of a Woody Masculine scent then it dries down to a smell of Coconut and Chocolate.
This is a nice scent but nothing to
to wright home about these are my
So So frangrances i smelled better
They don't have a Certain Pep Like with Calvin Klien Obsession Red Door
Or Of Course The Empress of Fragrances
Chanel no 5
But it's own way it stands on it's own.

This one is quite special, but you need some time to get to know it! It resembles Princess form Vera Wang as well. I love it, but not a standard perfume, a special one!!

I just wish it lasted longer. What a wonderful combination of spicy and crisp. The body lotion is warmer and less powdery than the EDT.

i love this one my grandmothr has it it smells like this perfume named tomorrow by avon but carlos santana is more long lasting and good quality

I bought this today at a discount store at a really great price. I was hoping for something sort of moody that would smell like woodstock.

Instead, I got something light and feminine. This is pretty and reserved. The coconut is readily detectable, but this doesn't smell anything like suntan lotion, which is the fear when reading the list of notes. Before they discontinued it I wore L'Occitane Feuille d' Herbe Florale & Fraiche almost daily. I've missed it these last several years. Carlos Santana's use of coconut is very similar, as is the blending of florals and fruit.

This is a very pretty smell. I'm happy to have gotten a bargain, but I'd have paid full price for it.

I loved this for the first 2 years I had it and then my body chemisty must have changed because now it gives me a headache, I wish I could still wear it. It is a nice oriental.

Goes on strong and sharp, but after about an hour mellows to a sexy, musky scent. I like the coconut note - reminds me of the beach. This has a big personality and should be used sparingly. Would probably be enjoyed by women who like Opium and other strong florientals.

Love this....is a bit overpowering on first spray but after a while it settles to a warmth and cosiness.

He makes cute shoes but what about his fragrance...anyone sampled this yet?
