Uninhibited Cher for women

I just finished reading these reviews and I am wanting so badly to try this. It is described just as you would imagine a frangrance from this exotic woman would be. As I am anti-celebrity perfume due to the current overload of celeb.perfumes...none which I find distinct from one anonther or even stand out one of a kind sexiness. Not to mention everyone and their mother is on this quick rich perfume band wagon it seems caring about the smell doesn't seem to be priority .(just my opinion) so I had forgotten back in the decade of good time and originality we had such an exotic female icon make a perfume.this seems as if it stands all Tests of time & is one of those "be a real woman to wear this" perfumes. Damn,I want to own this so bad. I see the prices on eBay though.....a bit out of my range. But I'm tempted to begin saving up & making a blind buy(something I never do) because this seems absolutely worth it. If you own this, you are so freakn lucky. :) hopefully I will be next.

I have found following information:
This scent was inspired by the combination of the two fragrances that Cher wore together- Charles of the Ritz and Vanilla by Jean Laporte.
Can´t wait to try this one, but it is soooo expensive.

Love, love, love this perfume and also wish it were still in production. I still have a few bottles of it.....was fortunate enough to find a good deal on it online a few years ago. It is such a distinct and clean fragrance, but also very sexy and mysterious. I wear it both for day and night, but I layer it more for evening wear. I'm always getting compliments and people asking me what I'm wearing. There's been many a disappointed lady.......and a couple of men........when I mention that it is no longer available. I wish Cher would bring it back! I have never found any other fragrance that comes even close to the smell of Uninhibited. So unique!

This is a scent that I wish was still in production--I managed to be lucky enough to find several small bottles of it online (the EDP not the EDT). The scent is strong at first but it takes only a few minutes on my skin to settle and be very lovely. The highest notes are the bergamot, vanilla, rose, and sandalwood. This is probably by far my favorite scent and I am not usually a big fan of stronger, less floral (and fruity) scents. This one reacted really well with my chemistry and yes, I've had several friends test a small dot on themselves and it smells very different on everyone. Out of the 10 people who have gotten to try it 8 of them are now searching for their own bottles online. This is a fantastic scent for sure.

<3 this! In the beginning of the drydown, all I can smell is plummy leather, then a rich sandalwood.Heavenly!

I was reading CHER's tweets one day and someone ask her to make a perfume, and Cher told them I have a perfume. (she still wares it)then she was asked to re-release it and Cher replyed something to the effect of "I would love to but I lost the recipe"
Now, I don't know if she was just joking around or what but I am sure someone someware knows how to make it, all the notes are listed here as well. I want to try this SO bad and wish Cher would bring it back out. I have never tryed it and I can not aford to track down a Vintage bottle. Now a days, who knows if you would be getting the real thing anyway. I'm a huge fan of CHER and pray she will re-release this someday, but I'm thinking that will never happen. :(
PS. Does anyone here know of any perfume that comes close to the smell of Cher Uninhibited?

I bought this perfume when I was in high school! Back then every girl (except me) was wearing either Giorgio Beverly Hills or Calvin Klein Obsession. I still hate both of those perfumes today! I always loved Cher and I loved this perfume from the first time I smelled it! It was different. I also got lots of compliments wearing it! I have never found any fragrance that I like as well. I hope Cher will re-release it too!

I purchased this fragrance for my mom who had been raving about it for years since she sampled it a our local Nordstrom(and i do mean 15 yrs later). I just happen to google Cher parfums and found a bottle 1 oz ebay for about $200 needless to say she droped when she unwrapped her gift! I will say it does smell beautiful. In my humble opinion its kinda soapy, floral, powdery soft, sweet, ever evolving and very mysterious because you never get one specific note. If you like No. 5 by Chanel you will enjoy also.

[Notes from a blind sniff/chat. Thanks, Kterhark!]


OK--I'm not very good at ID-ing notes, but I will go out on a limb and say Jean-Claude Ellena is not the nose behind this one!

I'm getting a sparkly opening that I associate with citrus (bergamot, usually) and aldehyde.
The first sniff is peppery, too -– maybe carnation? That disappeared pretty quickly. There are other flowers in there--some of them white--I can't ID.


A distinctly soapy note (a soapy galbanum?). And it's that soapiness that puts it in a family of perfumes that don't work for me.

I get tobacco and a very nice smoky note in the base--I'm guessing it is a wood note such as guaiac. More smoke than leather.

The whole blend is pretty sharp-edged on my skin. Teetering between sweet sharp and sour sharp, but not bitter sharp.

Although it does not smell like Gloria Vanderbilt (as I recall that is much sweeter) I get a similar vibe from this one. I confess, that is not a good vibe. Sort of a perfume-that-time-forgot vibe.

The deeper drydown is very powdery, over a layer soft smoke, something creamy and bit sweet--bezoin,vanilla, or both, I think. But it still has a bit of a bite.

This really was just about the ONLY "celebrity" fragrance woth buying, in my opinion. It was SO layered and complex that it obviously went far beyond the current drop of "candy/bubble-gum/flowery" celeb fragrances.

Like Cher, it was womanly, sexy, mysterious and took its time to reveal itself fully. The ambergris notes predominated - very musky and earthy. The add in the scent of vanilla (and this is a dense vanilla, not a light whiff) and heliotrope. Heliotrope is a hard note to capture and sustain - sometimes what is called heliotrope is nothing more than a sort of flowery powder scent, but this is the true heliotrope. Glorious! Finally, this amazing mix edged into sandalwood, and I always felt it was sandalwood that gave the perfume the insane sexiness. It was a very oily sandalwood finish, but in addition, I always detected a note of incense and even a hint of myrrh. This was a work of great elegance and heart - not a scent for teens or tweens - but for a confident, sexy yet playful woman who could tame her world.

Wish I had some of the original in my current fragrance wardrobe. Time for a re-launch of the original formulation? A thousand times yes!

One of the most stunning fragrances ever made, hands down. I kept seeing this at outrageous prices online and, of course, it peaked my interest. So, I tracked down a misspelled listing on the bay and got a partial bottle for a relative song. I've been completely obsessed ever since. I can't possibly do it justice, but will do my best to describe how it smells to me.

I first smell a healthy dose of fresh gray ambergris... the real stuff, not the synthetic & sad copies we are accustomed to nowadays... but true dirty, musky, earthy, fresh (in the unaged sense of the word), gray ambergris. Then comes the heliotrope... the best heliotrope I've ever smelled in anything... none of that weird Play-doh undertone... just gorgeous powdery softness. Next are the vanilla, sandalwood (dry/soft/white, but warm - more like driftwood to my nose) and the florals (though unless I really concentrate on identifying them, don't pick out any certain one... they're very well blended and smooth).

This lasts on my skin (oily) the entire day (live in a pretty humid climate), and in my hair pretty much until I wash it again. I aim the spray so that I hit my pulse points on my neck and the underside of my hair at the same time, so that I get more bang for my buck... especially since this is a small fortune to replace and want it to last as long as possible. One spray each side is plenty, since this has quite a bit of sillage and as I already stated, a good amount of staying power. This review is for the edt spray, by the way. I do have the pure perfume on its way to me, and will add any differences observed in that form (if any) as soon as I have it to test.

If I could turn back time back to when Cher launched Uninhibited in 1988 I would buy it by the case. Thanks to a helpful Fragrantica member more than 2 years ago, I was luckily able to get another bottle of this discontinued perfume. That bottle, as well as a few more, are long gone. If you believe that exceptional celebrity perfumes are far and few between, you will be amazed at this 70's diva dramatic production possibly leaving you in a state of awe.

Uninhibited is an extremely light floral with the concentration purely on the vanilla. The aldehyde's are apparent in the opening but only for a short instance with a bit of orange and bergomot for good measure. Travel into the middle stage and the heliotrope with it's vanilla essence takes over the jasmine and rose notes. Into the drydown, sandalwood, high end sandalwood, imported no doubt, adds a warm sensation and Gothic feel which I'm assuming Cher wanted to express and did accomplish. More vanilla, superb vanilla and the result is one great perfume. I find it similar to Creed's Vanisia. Longevity is a good 5-7 hours. This review is based on the original as the second version seems to have been tweaked out of sync.

You don't have to be A Scamp, A Camp and A Bit of A Tramp to sport this fragrance, however, I would not recommend it for the uncool--you should be uninhibited as the name implies.
