ShanghaiJava Blue Orchidee Crazylibellule and the Poppies for women

I find this cuddly and powdery with a sweet vanilla background. It's cute...and not unpleasant, but I don't feel excited about wearing this anymore than I would about wearing baby powder. It definitely qualifies as a going-to-bed scent, but for sure it's a going-to-bed-for-a-long-winter's-nap vibe. Perhaps useful for layering under another fragrance that is too sharp or spastic, this might be able to ground it a bit.

Crazylibellule and the Poppies SHANGHAIJAVA BLUE ORCHIDEE sounds like some sort of joke, but to my pleasant surprise it's a nice little solid perfume. I applied quite a lot of this roll-up stick in a playful little package because I wanted to see if I could get a genuinely perfumey experience complete with development and sillage. In fact, I did.

The solid heats up on the skin to produce a series of stages which I'd characterize as a whole as a floriental vanilla perfume. There does appear to be orchid and quite a bit of vanilla but the composition is not too sweet, and eventually the ylang arrives on the scene to add more complexity. From start to finish this smells just swell, and I'm sure that anyone who is into oriental vanillas à la Lolita Lempicka (whose packaging is equally whimsical and "girly", albeit in its own unique way) would like BLUE ORCHIDEE.

The notes are all very natural smelling, and I am delighted to have discovered this line. Given the low price, these little batons would make excellent stocking stuffers, too, especially for younger perfumistas.

I had to try this b/c it seems to smells differently on everyone, judging my the reviews. On me it's mostly citrus w/some slightly woodsy vanilla. Got a small sample from Beautyhabit. Don't think I'll buy a full stick. I thought it would be more oriental-vanilla-woody...on me anyway.

This is soft and pretty and inexpensive for an easily portable cute little scent. Staying power is not great (or even very good!) but for what this light powdery- woodsy-floral solid is, it's great!! It is unintrusive and the packaging is just darling!! My wish for this would be a smoother application that glides on (L'Occitane Wild Cherry solid is a perfect example). This would be perfect to wear for a weekend at the Pacific NW beaches!!

This reminds me of a very common lip balm. It has a very soft and calming scent, as teedee says.

Something to put on when you want to relax. A great bed-time scent!

this one doesnt smell jasmine or ylang on my skin...it is more like wonderful soft flowers with a bit of vanilla.

i find it soft, pleasant and calming.

as expected from solids, it stays close on skin.

This is vey sheer. It goes light on the skin, for someone to smell it on you they'd have to be intimate and interactive. I like the way the jasmin is not too strong that it smells like one of those cheap air freshners. It is nice just, not strong enough. To my nose it's jasmine and faint citrus notes, and I pick up on the ylang(slightly.)
