Sunset Boulevard Gale Hayman for women and men

I bought it as a present for my mum and I love it. It is not a light perfume but not a heavy one by no means, at least IMO. I don't find it sweet at all.
In fact it smells much more complex and expensive than it really is.
It lasted the whole night through on my wrist and I only sprayed a tiny drop gently, just to test it.
There may be people who can't wear it but one thing is for sure, it worths its money. I may keep it.

I forget sometimes just how nice Sunset Boulevard is! I have so many perfumes now that this one tends to get lost 'in the shuffle' at times and gets a bit overlooked. I've been wearing it today though for the first time in awhile and it does really appeal to me.

I really don't detect the orange in this at all, which is a good thing because orange isn't a favorite note of mine in perfumes! What does come through, luckily, is the white flowers and the creamy smooth honeyliciousness (yes, that really is a made up word!!) which is just right and not too sweet on my skin. The longer Sunset Boulevard is on my skin the better and better it smells. It's a very unique perfume and smells very classy to me despite it actually costing very little compared to a lot of far less impressive perfumes. So, it gets a big smile of satisfaction and 5 out of 5 from me. :-))

This fragrance is surely intended to have a very retro feel and transport you directly to Cecil B. de Mille's close-up on Gloria Swanson. That thought is a little disconcerting, like the perfume. Why? Because it has a sweet note that just doesn't belong here, now. I find it disturbing, just like Gloria's eyes, looking through the camera and directly into mine. Unique and unsettling somehow, I'm not sure that I want to wear it too often. How does a perfume manage to make me feel like this?

Just had a spray of my first bottle of Sunset Boulevard and unlike other reviewers I dont find it that sweet smelling.I can def smell some honey and lily of the valley and to be honest it is an ok smell.Not overpowering at all.My only problem with it is that on first application I think it smells slightly like Elizabeth Ardens Red Door,which is one perfume I really dislike.Will give it a chance to settle,it was cheap so cant complain too much.
Will update later on how it develops

not a hit on my skin. i was expecting something sweet from the reviews but it all smells like detergent on my skin. quite typical when it is white flowers amoung the notes (jasmin does it all the time, sometimes lily of the valley too). up for swap, if interested.

Cloying and headache inducing at first.
After a long while it settles into a tolerable floral honey mix with a hint of orange, still a little too sweet for my liking.
I recognize lily and jasmine and there's at least one other flower that I can't quite place (might be lily-of-the-valley?).
The honey takes its time but once it's unfolded it feels rather cozy. I like the creaminess.
It lasts about 7 hours on me.

Update:
I'd like to revoke the "at first".

I certainly wouldnt consider this an oriental, its very sweet (quite sickly at first) & after an hour i can still smell honey.

I detect a very slight orange smell but the white flowers do come through, id say it was more lily of the valley with a heavy honey base than an oriental.

Not unpleasant but not brilliant either. Thankfully this is a bargain price so you wont feel you have wasted your money if you dare to try it.

Update 3 hours later.

This has really come out now & i take back what i said earlier about it being not brilliant...its really rather lovely. Just like Royal Secret, this is one that needs time to mature on your skin for the true scent to permeate through.

I say try it if you can.
