Onde Vertige Giorgio Armani for women

I said a while ago that I really dislike this perfume.
I've tried it a couple more times since then and I have to revise my initial review.
I DO like it. I don't change opinions about perfumes very often, but it is actually very good on me. It's not a love one, and I probably wouldn't purchase it. Nevertheless I was wrong about it.
It must be due to the fact that most fragrances smell very different on me from day to day.

I agree with EK: this is quite masculine and it wouldn't be of my likes either.

I pass on this. I can't detect a particular note that I don't like, but the perfume.. no. Absolutely not.
It's very uncharming on me, very masculine too. (I don't think I'd like it on a man either though.)
It's very interesting, unusual, but in the bad way.
My skin hates it from the first second - now 1½ hrs later, it's the same. It hasn't developed.
Maybe it would turn out beautiful later, but I really don't have the patience to wait for it.
I find no floral, no creamyness, no fruit, nothing of what others mention..
Really bad chemistry here. I did love it out of the bottle. Sigh.

I remember first seeing the ad for the series and I so so so wanted to have them. The bottles were amazing, and it looked exactly as something I would like- exotic, mystic, with character.

Now I am testing them, and it seems that they have none of the above. The bottle design is sure lovely- if I were a perfume bottle collector, I would perhaps consider buying it. But the scent itself is disappointing. Very faint, watered down jasmine accompanied by some vague exotic fruity notes. No woods for me, no liquorice- I am lamenting as I remember how much I craved for them a few years back.

After the first 5 minutes, I only smell jasmine. A nice powdery jasmine and a minimal fragipani. Nothing else. It's such a boring scent for such an exquisite presentation.

This immediately reminded me of a scent from High School (late 80s/early 90s). I can't put my finger on it but it's a very close rendition.

My favourite out of the three Onde perfumes. It's a pity it doesn't have a good lasting power. It's such a beautiful white floral! I can't smell much of the licorice (which is fine for me). I detect something similar to gardenia here. Frangipani is very noticeable too. This is actually what I expected Bali Dream (Estee Lauder) to smell like. And I do find somesimilarities between the two in fact though Bali Dream is more spicy.

It seems that the three fragrances of this serie are the new edges of the old classics! the Mistere has in its base the old good Sensi, Extase - a new variation of Armani code, and the Vertige - my favorite out of three - is a more suttle interpretation of Armani mania. It has the same creamy musky quality, but it's more gentle. with some berries added.

I also had the feeling that this fragrance ditn't last...but...when I opened the closet in wich my clothes (that I wore the day before with Onde Vertige on me) were hanging... it was as though I had just spilled the whole bottle in there!!
I didn't mind though..(-:..
This fragrance reminds me a bit of Samsara by the way. Can't describe it...it is in between sweet and fresh..almost want to drink it when I smell it...(I won't...(-:...)

Although I prefer Onde Mystere and Onde Extase over this fragrance, I do still find Onde Vertige quite delightful.

The fragrance itself is both flowery and sweet with subtle hints of fruits and spices.

I love that licorice is a dominant note in this scent. Just by having its presence in the composition, it adds a wonderfully unique sense of originality. The patchouli compliments the scent beautifully, while the jasmine and frangipani give Onde Vertige a refreshing and exotic feel.

I think this fragrance is a little more daring than the other scents in the Onde series. Onde Vertige seems to be much bolder and sharper, but certainly not unpleasant.

I think it's extremely unfortunate that this scent refuses to last. The lasting strength is this fragrance's downfall, not the scent itself which has been carefully composed.

I went in today to my local Saks Fifth Avenue to purchase my partner his Valentine gift (something from Acqua di Parma collection).

My fragrance specialist informed me of new Armani Onge collection (they were setting up for the big launch).

I took the opportunity to spray a little of this scent on the back of my hand. It open with a beautiful light floral notes. The warm down is what I feel in love with. The licorice notes with patchouli are soft and seductive.

It is a light scent I would recommend for day or the office.

I sense tuberose, says here its got jasmin.. it reminds me of Christina Aguilera's Inspire, SADLY. 1/5 :/

After sampling all of the new Onde... perfumes, it's not easy to say anything of them cause they are so light and fleeting. No worries of overdoses in these perfumes... This Vertige is is the sweetest one, licourice and faint flowers and that is the end of the story.
