This one was a blind buy and it was a FAB FIND! It was inexpensive and smells divine! It has a lot of depth and has good lasting power too. Honey and musk - a delicious combination. Once again, great value!
Why do I get a feeling that it smells identical to Sunset by Naomi Campbell...
Daring is perhaps on the top of my list of floral woody musk fragrances. It is sensual, sexy, deep and very much appropriate to go with lacy lingerie and silky robe.
My partner loves it and I really have that luxury feel when I wear it, I am not sure if I can describe it better than this.
Daring is seductive and according to me, evening time suits it best.
Myrrh, wood, jasmine a a hint of honey does the job - it will work on your partner's senses, believe me :-)
Daring is a great composition which although belongs to a middle-low shelf has the quality of a top shelf fragrance.
Good silage, nice lasting power.
Well done, Ms Lorson.
I got this as a birthday gift and absolutely love it! My daughter says it's definitely a "me" fragrance. It has a wonderful sweet yet spice scent and the staying power is great.
Daring opens very sharp, almost nose itching but in a good way (if that makes sense). It´s not unpleasant, really! It smells just like... Frozen pepper? Really, I can´t think of anything else that could be compared to this concoction. It must be the mix of coriander and myrrh. I can also feel hints of peony and jasmine. It´s very unusual.
The longevity of this fragrance is awesome, it lasts all day long. As it dries down, though it doesn´t become sweet at all, I can easily detect the honey. The scent remains sharp, but not so loud. Overall myrrh dominates. It´s a warm one.
Although I like Isabella Rosselini and think she is a good pick for celebrity perfume, didn't like any of her scents so far. This one was strong and unpleasant.
I have been looking for a soft floral or floral woody musk for some time. I had and love Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden, but I wanted something different, something muskier. I found Daring by Isabella Rossellini for very little money and decided to try it. It is lovey, the heart is peony,jasmine and some flowers that I can't idenify. There is a loud top note,but it doesn't last very long. The honey is mild and not too sweet which I like and this means the scent can be worn all year round. While I like the heart the real beauty is the dry down. Musk and myrrh make this perfume soft and sexy, warm and inviting. This is a quality perfume and it last a long time. Soft,sexy,and elegant, I am so glad I bought this. It is a great addition to anyone's wardrobe.
This one is just strong smelling - not in a good way on me..Tried a sample and no - I will not buy this one.
I SOOOOO love this fragrance.I can't find it anymore,why?
"Daring" is aptly named for sure.And here I was aiming at a more subtle, gentle, breathy little fragrance that might border between floral/woody/musk and fruity/floral.
But with the opening came a "swallow" of the coriander, strong and all-consuming. Not that I'm against that in general :)
This note is center stage throughout to the middlenotes, I can't even rightly smell other notes from the midlle for a long time. Even so much that I get the impression of an oriental than anything else. Don't be mistaken - it is a gorgeous scent that makes me again want to strangulate our capitalist system whose rules made the company to stop producing this.
Isabella Rossellini is the face of so many gorgeous little masterpieces, and again this too, defenitely is not your typical celeb.perfume!
But if I want to wear it, I really have to forget any classification and just enjoy it, especially when it dries down!
Myrrh and honey take over from the coriander spice and make me think and yearn for Sicily and its culture clash of the moors and romans and the left beauty of it!
It's warm, warm, and warm like the heated sand and incenced with a suptle jasmined-fruity note(though I couldn't specify the apple I'm afraid) and a delightful strong liquid honey with a bit of wax surrounding together the myrrh!
And the last middle is where fl/w/m comes to mind. In the drydown the sandalwood becomes more prominent and adepts to the myrrh.
I think the prospect of using up my bottle already makes me sad after only two days of using this - I really am impressed by IR. I think she was ahead of her time and if it was launched today, it would be a seller. I don't know many myrrh-fragrances, but if there are any as gorgeous as this, I defenitly want to try them.
bit sharp smelling, think it is afterall the coriander and the myrhh?
just love this fragrance. smells very nice on my skin, lasting power is great
Starts out prettily enough,ordinary, pleasant. The sweet bright note atop must be the mezereon they describe here, but I've never smelled it, so I'm not sure (and I thought Daphne mezereon was poisonous? Does anyone know?). Doesn't get 'daring' until the drydown,and even then it's covertly so-- like going commando under your power suit.Perfect for being unobtrusively defiant. I agree with lia006; the myrhh makes it special.
Feminine and elegant perfume with a pleasant fragrance. Special from the myrrh. On me averagely lasting.
I had it and it reminds me lots of Naomagic, difference is that naomagic is a bit ruff in the begining, pinches your nose, this one doesnt.
its a very nice smell i like but not that much...and its cheap
