Halle by Halle Berry

eilismaireg

Look, I know it smells a bit cheap but it's very pleasant! Saying that, I didn't go so far as to spray it on me!!

guest_ode

I got Halle in a gift set for my birthday and at first I did not know what to make of it. However I eventually caught the scent of chocolate and some slight woody undertone. The scent reminds me of being brownskinned,fragile, beached.... you know just like its advertisement.

The scent never becomes overpowering and is a good daily perfume. I also appreciate Halle's use of natural ingredients in the body lotion. Way to go Halle!

Ismelled a tester of this at walmart.finished my shoping and went to my car but,whoa.i had to go back and purchase it.I love the amber dry down,as i love all amber but,it doesnt last long on me.not too strong.Iwould likt it better if it were stronger.Good price and item for walmart.

charlottesmom

On me it's just musk, a very very strong musk, if it was more mellow and I could actually pick up any of the opening notes I might have liked it.

soniamcalear

This is a very nice scent. It smells like a fresh medicine cabinet to me-weird huh? Its gorgeous to me though but not one of my signature scents though.

guest_alexanna7

Mochagirl

This is exactly the same as Extraordinary from Avon!

Most of my teenage years, I lived in the really hot state of arizona. The heat didnt bother back then, and i would lay out tanning for hours until my skin was a really dark copper/brown. Almost the color of Halle's! My point of this little bit is that this scent reminds me of that smell... hot, baked, tanned skin with tanning oil and a sweet breeze. I am suprised that nothing like "hot sand accord" is in here because the smell if Halle literally makes you feel warm. I really enjoy this scent! And it so cheap to buy! When Halle very first came out i bought the very smallest bottle and thought NASTY! I gave it away immediately. I dont think I gave myself the time to experience it and give it a real shot. I smelled it on someone and just had to know what it was, and it was Halle. So I went back to Walmart and bought the medium sized bottle, and reallt love its deep sweetness. It last forever and is strong as well. I think this is a great summer/beachy scent as well as a warm-me-up winter and fall scent :)

guest_nico

my friend just bought it . she was so excited and wanted me to buy some. i smelled hers. The smell was okay just didnt do it for me. too sweet and hard to smell.

distortech

I'm hooked. This is gorgeous. Very well made with a wonderful drydown. I think this is one that grows on you. On me I get a very distinctive development, which is very long lasting and the base is just fantastic. Great on a guy too. LOVE IT.

evamoon

Only one word: boring. And it doesn´t last more than 5 minutes. For me disappointment.

Shyn's Release

I can totally understand the bad reviews for this fragrance.I didn't care for it much when I had this but I was determined to wear it.It was not a strong fragrance and seemed perfect for my casual lifestyle.I quickly finished a 50ml of this and I didn't think I would ever want to get this again.But, then I began to miss it that nice warm fragrance and the delightful mix of fig and mimosa.Well, I just ordered another bottle of this I think I may be hooked on this.

guest_Dottie

Its the first time in a long time that I have come across a perfume that I immediately liked. All those people who has so much negative things to say - sorry for you!! They should realise that not all perfumes smell the same on everyone. If it doesn't work for you, try something else. You will eventually find something you like. I am 40 years old and only now found something that I really like and all my friends and family agrees that this specific one is perfect for me. Congrats Halle, you have a winner here!!

guest_

I smelt this at the drug store yesterday and i cant stop thinking about it at first i was like wowa a little too much for me but at about the 20min mark it started to calm down and was the most wonderful scent ive ever smelt! and lasted all day!

guest_mimi

Annoying, sickly sweet,artificial and cheap smelling.

soniamcalear

To me this scent took on a medicine cabinet type of smell at first. Its weird at first. I like it but im not sure I would ware it on a regular basis. I got this for my mother in law for her birthday and I don't smell it on her ever-she's a Fendi person-what can I say.

Panda_bear

The fragrance has sth of Halle's charm, but it lacks her style.
It's a sweet, sweet pear, very warm and cozy (I don't smell any incense).
Maybe not so special and unique, but it really stands out comparing to other celebrities' fragrances.

guest_tina

I'm surprised by the number of positive reviews. In my opinion Halle is too sweet(in a sugary way) and artificial. Reminds me of some cheap body spray a teen would bath in. Way too strong and can be overwhelming for people around.On the positive note it has good lasting power.

Solvita

it is fruity,oriental,warm,great for a cold winter

liwe

Great. I just smell it, my friend bought for present for same girl friend and i put some on me and i will go, now after work to bay for me. Long time I didn't smelt something so deep sweet but with strong finish, and so velvet. for now perfect one

sofiii

Halle starts with really fresh and sweet fruity scent, the pear is quite nice in this one(not overly sugar-coated) however, I still smell a hint of something artificial and it bothers me a lot.

After a while it goes funny,like nice orange-and-pineapple-flavored softdrink plus a huge doze of creamy milk. I personally don't like the combination, but it's still okey at this point.

The weird happens after about half an hour. What I can smell is fruity-creamy-incense. It's kinda thick(but not cloying), rich and made me feel laidback at first, but after a few second, I just felt sick.

Somehow,to me the drydown of Halle smells like a richer and luxry verion of Johnson's Dreamy Skin body lotion.

So...it can be a OK scent for some, but I wouldn't buy it.

Princess

Yum! spicy, sweet and oriental! But with a twist, I also smell fruit. I've had my eye on this for a while because the notes sounded amazing and they truly was. Its very grown up and lasts long. Beautiful bottle too - who match the perfume. Warm :)

jigglyclefairypuff

The fragrance shares many characteristics with other fruity gourmand celebrity perfumes, which is why this seems to lack originality and character.
Not memorable or iconic enough either.
Doesn't last very long.

voodoovixen

Well what can I say..I love it..this is such a great scent ..I have yet to see if my man likes it as much as I do. The price is great and I also thought there was some vanilla in it but there isn't according to the what I have researched. This could very well be the scent I wear all the time.

c3c

This smelled fabulous in the bottle and when I first sprayed it on, but it didn't wear well on me. I love the way it starts, but not the way it finishes. Be sure to try it on before you buy to see how it goes for you.

Michele716

I was really excited to try this and luckily CVS had a purse size for $3 because it just doesn't work for me,too sweet and fruity. On me it smells like plum and powder. I gave it a second chance and still feel the same way.

hopejones

I just smelled this one at the dept store. Something about it reminds me of Obsession. Halle's a nice fragrance. It seems kinda of summery but because of the amber drydown, I'm going to wear this one into fall, too.

Sassy1

I've only been able to sniff on a tester strip but I'm pretty sure I'm hooked...very soft sweet plum-like scent which must be due to the fig. When compared to a few others, this one pulled me in, grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go. Will have to buy a bottle to see if the love affair is real.
Update: Yep, this frag is divine. I'm not usually a sweet fan, but the fig combined with the soft pear is done to perfection and keeps me coming back to sniff again and again.
Its a definate winter scent with the right touch of warm spiciness. The bottom could use just a little more inscense and this would be an all time classic but as is, it is an impressive offering.

guest_Ingridestonia

Hi!Im writing from estonia.. I saw the perfume a few days ago at the mall...and I knew i had to have it and now I own it... And I must say i am surprised, cause It's nothing like i would usually wear...But there was smth that engaged me right away...and i connected with the scent...peachy, sensual, earthy...warmth..

sky76sky

Well, I am certainly suprised by Halle! It isn't a scent I link to her image, but, as celeb scents go, it's worth a sniff.

The overall impression is of an extremely rich, sweet & fruity fragrance, spiced with amber. It has a loud yet mid-level sweetness that gives the scent-impression of honey, fig & pear liberally laced with cinnamon & pepper, being warmed gently on the stove to create a spicey fruit compote.

The flowers are a touch over-shadowed by the warm fruits & the amber glow, but this is no bad thing.

Without the spices this fragrance would be too sweet for me to bear & I was hoping for a bit more depth & darkness from the incense. IMO it lacks this earthy depth which could transform it into a truly unique & classy scent.

That said, it remains on my skin for many hours offering a fun, sweet fruity figgy glow that lifts the mood. I keep going back to breathe it in....not bad at all!

mwater1

I admit it...I have a crush on Halle perfume. When it came out during the summer, I thought it was 'okay, nothing special'. I tried it again this morning because I found myself craving something spicy and sweet. All I can say is WOW. For the fall, Halle is the perfect fragrance.

The opening combines the light fragrance of pear with the intoxicating aroma of fig. As the fragrance transforms, I detect the mimose and hibiscus that lends a depth to the fragrance. There is also a distinct spiciness to the fragrance within the midnotes that I don't see listed. On the drydown, all that wonderfulness combines with the sexiness of the amber, incense, and sandalwood. What I find the greatest about this is the cashmere musk--it gives an almost carmel/vanilla accent. I smell yummy and have received numerous compliments today. I would definitely classify this as an oriental or even a gourmand because there is something so edible about this fragrance. I am so loving it.

nidus

I ordered this bottle unsmelled, I expected it to be exactly as it is. Very pleasant, feminine fragrance with moderate staying power, I love the pear in it, very significant. It is just perfect for autumn when you need something warm and sweet around you but not yet the heavy winter "aces".

tangledvines

This is my favorite perfume at the moment. It smells sexy and I adore it. It sort of reminds me of Hillary Duff's With Love perfume, yet this has a special twist. Love it!

kutyafina

I love this scent so much!At first sniff I felt vanilla, to my surprise there isn't.This perfume is so feminine, natural and sexy as Ms. Berry. :) Sweet, sophisticated , breathtaking. Ingredients are exciting. Truly a unique fragrance. Great job Halle! Thanx:D:D

Amarilla

I expected something very much different from Halle Berry. I was prepared for something silky, soft smelling fragrance. But this stuff is just rock n roll !!! I like it's bubbly attitude.
I wore it yesterday night and today morning I can still smell the sweet, sexy base notes; very powerfull.
On the whole I'd give 3,5 stars from 5 cause -as snobuni77 said:
"Just like Halle its Cute, Sexy & beautiful but it isn't as Sophisticated as her."

poppy_vanderbilt

I don't know what it is about this perfume but i really like it...i almost bought it...i keep thinking about it..like i have a crush or something...maybe it's because i am finding myself drawn to spicier sexier fragrances lately...it reminds me of a favorite and unusual musk oil that i only use to find in a specialty shop from Paris (i have never been to Paris but i ended up with a sample)it is sweet musky and a bit spicy it is unusual not what i had envisioned from Halle i always saw her as more floral sophisticated...this fragrance makes me want to say delish!...i can see though where it wouldn't be for every one.

liongigi

Got it at CVS, wanted the body lotion also, the lotion I wear to work and got great complements from my co-workers. Love it just different , dark scent could be worn nite or day

kenberlyc

I love it. I haven't bought it yet. Tried it at JC Penney's. Very sexy, and sensual. Has a nice spicy tone to it.

Aphrobaby

I was very curious about this one when it finally came out. I gues since she was the only famous big time celebrity who hadn't come up with a fragrance yet. I have to admit that once i tested it and smelled it for the first time (at the drugstore) it was a huge disappointment. It totally turned me off. There is something in it that makes me want to say gross. It might totally be just me, and I wish I could pin point what it is that makes me dislike this one so much but I can't. Overall I think the problem is it's too sweet and doesn't balance that sweetnes out with anything. I guess the ingredients just don't go very well together to create a nice harmonious scent. That's my opinion anyway. I have noticed a lot of people actually like it. I love sweet floral scents and this one wasn't even close to what I was hoping for, probably cause it's a woody oriental, hmmm go figure.

Malibu

The top notes are a bit too sweet, it borders on sickly on me. I love fig notes in other fragrances, but combined with pear? I can put up with it, but I’m not a huge fan.
However, it’s the overpowering floral notes that put me of HALLE. I couldn’t separate any of the individual notes; they all smacked me in the face at once. Sweetness + heavy florals = migraine.
It was a shame, as I love the creamy base notes; at last I capture the sensuality I was promised. Unfortunately it was too little too late for me.

renneyg007

Tested this today.......very sweet, powdery, woody, smokey and heavy on the incense, not at all what i was expecting. No compliments here i'm afraid as i don't want to smell of sweet, smokey wood. It has great staying power, unfortunately. Sorry Halle

guest_

Interesting, I gave my bottle to my co-worker because I was bowled over by the strong amber scent when I wore it myself. On her it smells completely different, warm and sweet with no hint of amber and she loves it, so I guess it worked out well after all!

guest_toya

my husband bought this for me for mothers day and I havr to say it really smells like cocoa butter and musk. its cool and I love halle, but i was disappointed.

sharyssa

I got this today and I like it but in my opinion it smells alot like Betsey Johnson. It doesn't seem to linger though,I put 5 sprays on and I can barely smell it.I bought the 1 oz because that is all Wal Mart had well they had the .5 oz but that is way too small so I got this one.I wanted the 1.7 oz but alot of stores in my area are SOLD OUT! Wow,I didn't know Halle had so many fans but that is good for her though! But over all it is a very nice scent but I wish it was stronger and not so light.

iMaverick

This is not your typical drugstore variety scent. Amazingly gentle, and generally fig notes can really be irritatingly strong, but it is ingeniously kept in check. As it progresses, the scent does not deepen to a sickeningly sweet base like many perfumes out there, but actually leaves a sensual yet clean woody trail.

Funny how I didn't really care for it at first, I guess I don't really like what it smells like on a tester strip, but on skin, it develops to something warm and seductive without being overwhelming.

If Halle was truly instrumental in the development of this scent, then kudos to her for putting her name to a tasteful perfume!

guest_

I have to say, I'm really disappointed by this. I bought it and loved the smell of the tester- the fig & mimosa & pear have a nice, distinctive deep sweetness, but after wearing it for a bit, the only thing I can smell is the amber, which I hate! Maybe it's just my body chemistry, but it ends up smelling too mature for me (and I'm not a teenager, I'm 29!). Also, I like the bottle except for the plastic gold-y coloured "necklace" around the sprayer, which looks kind of tacky.

guest_Barbara Coombs

Hi there! I went to Walmarts last fri
and p/u her perfume. Only thing is, it
doesn't stay on long. I usually get
complements about what I am wearing(perfume) but not this one... I paid 16.99 plus tx. So... what's up with that????? don't get me wrong I like me
Halle but, I can't keep spraying every
two or three hours..

guest_

I saw the fragrance at Kohl's while shopping one day and decided that I would get it the next time I shopped there. Low and behold it was gone. I really love the smell and was disappointed that it was not available. So I went into J.C. Penney and I found it there (the only two left) so I purchased the gift set a better deal than at Kohl's and it also came with a beautiful purse. So it was worth the wait. It's a must have!! Thanks Halle.
You did it again. You go girl!!

snobuni77

I sprayed this on my hand today & even after Tanning,sweating & covering myself with tanning lotion I can still smell it.

I definitely get pear from this & lots of it.This Pear is a bit different then Im use to though....perhaps its the Fig I get with it?The Mimose, Amber & Cashmere musk make it a bit more then a floral fruity but then Woodsy to me.The incense helps the woodsy stand up but it is so light its almost not there.
I don't think its a bad scent at all & I do get sexiness from it.Just like Halle its Cute, Sexy & beautiful but it isn't as Sophisticated as her

ReneeA

I smelt this in a magazine and I love it. It smells so good. I kept turning the page back to smell it again. Some things don't have to be outrageously expensive to be of good quality. I can't wait to get it. It reminds me of the tropics. I smelt amber, and orange. I think this is a good first cologne. Go Halle......everything dosen't have to be pacakage in a expensive bottle. Thanks for the scent it's AWESOME

Kasku

I coulnd't sleep cause I wanted it so bad :) so today I purchased it...and smells so amazing! Summer's coming people, summer's coming! :) Very happy and sexy fragrance. It has a great staying power.

Kasku

WOW. I just smelled it in the store and still have this awesome scent in my nose. It's very warm and sexy. It's sweet, but subtle sweet. It's one of those fragrances that can transform into whatever woman wants. A woman is the one who puts the definition, and the last touch on it. I love it, and will get it :)

stormie

I have smelled this many times as I work in a drugstore and the fragrnce was recently recieved. The other girls in the store really like it. I want to like it and have been back to the tester many times to have another sniff but it just doesn't apeal to me...there is something in it that smells medicinal.

leolady910

The Kohl's near my house gave a $5 off coupon for Halle's fragrance, so I purchased a small bottle and wore it yesterday. I really like it.

The predominant note on me was the amber, which made this scent seem sophisticated. In contrast there are also sweeter floral notes which make this a very pleasant perfume, especially if you are looking for something in the less than $20-$30 price range.

If perfumes are like music...sometimes I am not in the mood for a full blown symphony (like the ones played by Caron or Guerlain...). Sometimes you just want to hear a little pop on the radio.

APassionateJourney

I smelled this at Kohl's today. im gonna get it. it isn't woodsy at all, IMO. It's very sweet! i just hate how the bottle is so cheap looking

sfsassy

I smelled it at Kohls the other day and I really liked it. I went in with NO expectations so it was a nice surprise. It was a nice basic vanilla type scent. I give it a 6 out of 10.

ramiske

I recently smelled this at a dept store. Unfortunately, I put it back on the shelf and can't think of anything memorable about it. Wasn't horrible, but no 'wow' factor for sure.
