Parlez-Moi d’Amour John Galliano for women

I'm a fruity floral. But there's a harsh note in this perfume and it's too jarring for me to wear. Maybe it's the woodsy/spicy thing but it sets up a metallic taste in my mouth.

Honestly, from my point of view this fragrance is amazing! The most intensive notes are rose and blueberry, which make the fragrance fruity-floral! This unforgettable mix smells wonderful! I advise it to everyone who loves fruity/floral scents!

This is so sweet n nice, I just have to love it! Edt is totally different from this. And I don't know why but some weird way this reminds my about one My Little Pony what I have when I was child. There were light sweet strawberry scent in it. Even though in this edp shouldn't be any strawberry! Hmmm.... Any way. I have to have it soon! Im enamored in this <3

very classical floral scent, tho' very well designed inside the bottle and outside the bottle! romantical and inspiring, loved it! *o*

I absolutely adore this fragrance. I am not a fan of floral scents but the mix of blueberries and roses together, is so romantic. I would definitely wear this scent on a date. The bottle is also very cute and I love having it on my dresser.

I first had a whiff of this at a shop selling rejected perfumes (ie cracked/mislablled bottles). It smelled very lovely, and lingered on my dress after. But since I was doubtful of whether the perfume they were selling were genuine, I set out hunting for a brand new bottle.

Found it today finally, and impulsively bought it. I still love it second time smelling it because, it was light, floral and fruity all at once. Not cloyingly sweet like most floral/fruity scents, it is subtle yet unique. I've not smelled anything similar.

At first whiff you get a candy-like sweetness then it dries down to a more mellow, rosy musk. The character of the scent is innocent and sweet, like a first love. I do get that booze-y smell people keep mentioning, but it is not at all unpleasant.

I suppose I love this scent because like me, I like subtlety and I don't like putting myself in the spotlight. And while I love things sweet and floral, I don't like it if it's too ovwerwhelming. So this subtle, sweet smelling fragrance is perfect for me.

And may I add, this smells nothing like Chloe. Soft and sweet yes, but not the same deep muskiness like Chloe. Parlez-moi d'amor has a slightly sharp tang that mellows into sweetness on your skin.

I loved this perfume so much when I first tried it, and my boyfriend even mentioned he liked it on me. I got a sample, and throughout the day, I smelled something very chemical-smelling and headache inducing once in a while. Most of the time it was sweet and floral, but once in awhile I got a whiff of something that reminded me of my organic chemistry labs. In the worst way possible. I'm not sure if the sample was bad, or what's going on- but I don't think I'll be buying it.

i bought this perfume n smell nice on me....quite seducing because of sweet smell..(according to my husband)..but i am still wondering why does it smell like lychee and rose...at the same time...i love it but probably not gonna be my fave!

........Just bought myself a bottle today! I fell in love with it straight away...yes, it is sweet, and girly....and young...but it smells like a burst of summer to me :o) I love the fruits...the rose lingers on with the musk....it mellows beautifully..... :o)

It smells good, but i dont find it very original. i feel like you can find a million other fragrances that smell just like it or similarily.

When I first smelled on my friend I really liked it. So I went to the store and bought it. But when I put on myself and smelled at it I first thought: "Wow it smells kinda cheap." I don't know why. And it has a smell that kind of stays in your nose for a very long time and it's strong. A few hours later I smelled my hand again. Then it didn't seem that bad anymore. It wasn't that strong and penetrant anymore. It again smelled like the first time I fell in love with it. So I guess this perfume is so strong that it needs time to set itself. If you give it time to go into your skin it can smell very good. So there is a thin line between good and very bad.
But I think the bottle is beautiful and unique. I wouldn't say that this fragrance is a bad buy.

Oh my goodness, This smells SO artificially fruity which was disappointing for me because I absolutely love the story and the bottle behind this fragrance. I might get it in the future for the bottle but I can't stand how fake this fragrance smells but it definitely does last because that[s all I smelt all day after trying this. I wish that the blueberry and ginger note would go away so I could smell the other notes in this fragrance because those are normally the notes I love.

At the start it smells very sweet and fruity and then it turns into ... Agent Provocateur. It`s very feminin and sexy.

smells like a bouquet of fresh roses and bonbons! then it becomes creamy and musky. soft and romantic scent, definite like! good lasting power 5-6 hours.

Flowers and plastic jellybeans. Not my kind.

Hmmm...on me: not sugar sweet at all, but fruity, fruity, fruity. Bordering on a sour/rotting fruit smell -- making it a bit medicinal or boozy.

Different. Just not for me, I'm afraid.

On me - a pleasant shampoo. Not clean, just boring.
Why?? ...

Knowing John Galliano's first fragrance- which was a very special, daring, artistic and unique composition,his image of an enfant terrible of the fashion industry, and finally seeing ginger and rose in the notes, I really expected something interesting.

And I got a bubble gum. I don't know which note it is, but I could hardly detect any of the notes listed. Parle-moi d'amour ended up being sweet, sticky scent of candy and lemonade. I would even risk saying it smells exactly like Valentino's Rock'n'Rose Couture, with the latter being a lot longer lasting and fun to wear.

cute,cute,cute!that's the best way I can describe it.t smells very innocent and girlish.though I don't see strawberry in the notes,to me smells like lots of strawberries.it is all about fruits and a little bit of flowers,namely rose.
the bottle just matches the perfume.the stamp is just cute and creative idea.
the long lasting power is better than most of other girlish perfumes I've tried.I like it very much.it's a perfect perfume for -25 year old flirty girl.

I liked this one a lot, very sweet, juicy and fresh scent. The lastin power was OK, its a EDT so it lasted a few hours. As always I wish that it was a EDP. I would not spent that much money on a EDT, I think I have seen this as EDP but now I cant find it. If someone knows I would be very happy to know. Nice perfume, but its not a buy. A little to plain and average. And as I said, I do have a problem with EDT's I want some lating power if Im going to buy something..

at first i didnt like it.but i tested it again i like it.young and joyful.blueberry and musk longlasting and uplifting.but very ordinary and expensive for this one.

After original Galliano, that was a masterpiece, this one is... nothing special. Blueberries in the opening are prominent, maybe original, but so plastic and synthetic. In the whole scent is soft and creamy - Parlez Moi d'Amour smells like a body lotion from a perfume range.

Smelled great! Very playful and sweet scent, I really liked it but since it wasnt avalible in EDP I lost intrest. Not a very unik scent, but very nice! Expected it to smell like an other mainstream-light-floral mess, but thanks to the blueberry(?) it didn't! I if was a EDP I could buy it.

Use it if you like to smell like a fabric softener. If you dont like that kind of smell then you should pass on this one.

It seems to have great lastingpower. I smelled this on paper and some juice must have caught the skin on my nose or the inside of it. I could smell it the whole day. It didnt even go away after a facewash. Since I didnt enjoy this scent it was quite an unpleasent experience but it shows quality anyway.

This is a very fruity and sweet floral scent. It is pleasant, but overall I have to say it is a big yawn for me. I'm disappointed that I can't smell the ginger or cypress at all, as those seem to be the most unique notes listed in this fragrance. It smells like many other perfumes already on the market, so I can see that it would have wide appeal. I would say it fits in the same category as Dior J'Adore or Chanel Chance Eau Tendre. I'm surprised by the ads which seem to have a slightly gothic/dark feel to them. It is definitely not spicy or edgy as the marketing would imply, in fact it's the far opposite - sweet, nice and very well-behaved.

I finally gave in and bought this. Before getting started on the scent, I think John Galliano was very witty in choosing Taylor Momsen to represent his love letter. Momsen, a hardcore rock star, is the complete opposite of this innocent romantic concoction. But that's what makes the perfume intriguing. It doesn't make any sense, and yet, it captivates your curiosity.
As for the actual scent, its very soft and sweet, and the patchouli plays up very nicely at the end. I wouldn't consider this perfume musky, its quite fruity. Although its soft, its quite long lasting on my skin, 5 hours later and still going strong. The rose is also very prominent in this one. Overall, I find it to be very inviting, sensual, and perfectly composed. Definitely one you should check out if you weren't into John Galliano's other fragrances because its totally different.

I've tested Parlez-Moi d'Amour yesterday. So sweet, sugar, berry! Is my hand blue from it, let me see!
I'm hungry now ... but not for love!
This fragrance is so far away from the other JG's perfumes that I adore.

BEST perfume so far, much better that other John Galliano Perfumes. Sweet fruity floral but not sickening , excellent lasting power...

I really ADORE the original Galliano edp so for me Parlez-Moi d'Amour is quite a disappointment.

Where is the edge that makes your eyebrows rise and your heart to release a spontaneous giggle? Where is the sand grain that creates the pearl?

I don't dislike this scent, it is actualy quite cute, but I find it unimaginative. It seems like Galliano has put his visionary thinking aside for a while, just to create a crowdpleaser adressing the younger audience. An audience that doesn't need another "fruitchouli" among all others.

Understand me right: I just wish that the intelligent and visionary noses could create something new for the young audience instead of crowd pleasing "fruitchoulis", washy fruity florals or candylike fragrances. Galliano did so with his former edp, but maybe it didn't sell well enough? However, I find Parlez-Moi... a sweet, quite wellcrafted but linear scent. The sillage is strong and it lasts very long on skin, so it will be an economic purchase unless you will be bored with it long before the bottle is finished.

it's sweet, fruity, and cloying on my skin. smells like a cheap bathbomb u can get at drugstores

For some reason the smell really doesn't last long on my skin

Now I might not have the best opinion of John Galliano himself, but I acknowledge his talent as a designer. And I'm willing to ignore the advertisement and focus solely on the fragrance for this review.

I was pleasantly surprised by this perfume, as I expected a very bold scent when first trying it. But Parlez-moi d'amour is actually a very tame and balanced composition. I'm very much smelling the rose note in this one, with only touches of blueberry and musk. I normally dislike patchouli, but here it was used in a measured amount. A wonderful warm, flowery scent. The lasting power surprised me for an EdT, I have been wearing it for over six hours now and it's still clinging to my skin.

A very fresh and fruity spring scent. Sweet but in a non-sugary way. Wish it would last longer on my skin but other than that it's great :D

Parlez-moi d'Amour, great name. The fragrance is not so great but it's nice and clean. The clean feeling is the most loveable thing about it. Fortunately it's not sticky sweet, just sweet and fruity. Aimed for the youngsters apparently. Sillage is medium, it's not everywhere when you put it on. Longevity is also medium, 3 hours and it's lost.

The bottle is absolutely lovely by the way.

Parlez-Moi d'Amour is somewhere between being risky and generic. I don't mind the scent, and while it's a little too fruity for my personal tastes, I like it nonetheless.

It smells just like thick blueberry jam and highly concentrated rose oil. It's quite likable in a rich gourmand and bold kind of a way. For some it may be a little headache inducing and difficult to wear in certain situations, like I found when I had this sample in my bag for a month.

It reminds me of Escada fragrances, however this particular scent is more edgy, not so tropical and Summery. The patchouli in the base creates a darker, earthier feel which I'm quite impressed by.

During the opening, Parlez-Moi d'Amour smelt very much like Passiona, an Australian passionfruit flavoured soft drink, which was my favourite beverage as a child. It brought back some beautiful memories. I particularly like this fragrance's boldness, however I find the overly sweetened and juicy fruits a bit much at times.

It's quite gutsy to my nose, so I think in a way it suits John Galliano's style. I like Parlez-Moi d'Amour and I think on some girls it could really smell amazing. On me it's a bit sour.

The longevity could be better, but overall it's not too disappointing. The sillage however is quite overpowering, so the best tip I could give you is to apply sparingly.

Mmmh smells really delicious. Light, fruity and sweet (but not sickingly sweet), rosy scent. The rose smells very nice in this scent. Perfect spring and summer fragrance. Personally I don't smell blueberry, just fruit, but that might be me.
The bottle is to die for!
Wouldn't mind getting this as a gift from my boyfriend. It's a very romantic scent.

Parlez-Moi d’Amour is quite a disappointment, especially when you compare it with the other two John Galliano’s fragrances, however, apart from that, Parlez-Moi d’Amour isn’t too bad at all as a fruity perfume.

The start is just fresh blueberry! Real blueberries hit you on the face with some more freshness (I think it must be the ginger note). When I say real blueberries, I mean it, as in I don’t really smell much from the perfume for about 5 minutes, and similar to when you just smell blueberries from the punnet.

Soon after the nearly-non-perfume-smelling phase, it gets really fruity, and sweet, I agree it can be easily be mistaken as an Escada perfume. It is really juicy, sweet, fruity salad kinda juicy. It would please the current sweet-fruity loving trend, and personally I wouldn’t mind to wear it in really small doze.

Later on some floral aspect comes in and softens the whole scent, which is rather nice, but somewhat this scent at this stage just reminiscent those overly scented fruity erasers many of us from an Asian culture might’ve bought during the early 90s. It’s lovely, it’s nearly edible, and you just can’t stop smelling it because it’s somewhat addictive, but you know that’s not the real fruit scent, and it’s not good for you.

The final dry down is rather nice, it has the nice soft slightly inky musk hint in it, really similar to Jeanne Lanvin’s dry out. Talking about which, I find Parlez-Moi d’Amour is like a blueberry sister of the raspberry Jeanne Lanvin, and Parlez-Moi d’Amour is slightly less bubbly or energetic.
Even though I don’t really like druggie John Galliano, Parlez-Moi d’Amour isn’t that outstanding, but I have to admit the quality of this perfume surpasses many other floral fruity nice girly perfumes out there. Nice scent for floral fruity lovers.

I want to try this perfume its sounds good like other people have said is taylor mosmen really the right girl to be the face of this perfume but anwayz she looks really good in the advert not bad after all but i dont really like taylor much i dont really know anything about her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! besides the fact shes in gossip girl.

I concur that this really isn't a floral woody musk scent at all. It's pure fruit; blueberry that is. However, if you like floral fruity fragrances, this is a very pleasant and romantic scent. Unlike other fruity scents, this on me did not become foody at all, and the intensity of the blueberry fades gradually into something more floral as time passes.

Uhhh whatt? this is a floral woody musk? ya...i don't think so. From what I can remember, Parlez moi d'amour is almost nothing but blueberry.

I kinda like it but am a bit put off with its fruitiness. This could easily be an Escada fragrance. I find this scent pretty immature, like a preppy 16-17 year old would wear, but then again the endorser is 16 years old so I guess it's very fitting from what I smell.

Very sweet, fresh and cute. Very much on the fruity side of life. I agree, not quite the scent to describe Taylor Momsen... It doesn't smell expensive, but therefore it also is not super expensive. I quite like the drydown actually, it gets a tad more floral and interesting, I suppose it has something to do with that cypress I have never smelled before. The bottle is a keeper too, very pretty with the little post-stamp on it. Quite mainstream and isn't that impressive, but I had expected something worse from reading the reviews here! Probably they have expected better since smelling the other John Galliano fragrance, which I actually don't like that much. So if you was not crazy about the other extravagant John Galliano's, don't let that keep you from trying this one.

Well, another fruity-floral, with an accent on berries (blue ones, for a change). Just another disappointing scent in a cute bottle and sweet packaging. It's an easy crowd-pleaser, nice for spring, won't offend anyone - but haven't we smelled this before? I'm bored stiff by those endless repetitions of the same olfactory tune. Would have expected a bit more courage from John Galliano. His first fragrance was a commercial flop, but much more interesting. He (and the company behind him) want to play it safe now.
4 out of 10 on my personal scale

I really do not like this scent!
It reminds me of a seasonal Escada fragrances, but even more discusting. I think this blueberry note ruins everything, as it tends to be sweet, but somehow over-the-top sweet in a vulgar way!
Unlike Gallianoś first fragrance this is a truly mass-market product that soon will be forgotten i predict!
Some girls under 16 might find it great, but sorry, not me!

Please do not remove this comment, since others might find it useful. Not every rewiev should be positive, so people like me wanted to make a blind buy might find it very informative. Thanks.

Wow, I would buy this just for the bottle-but that's it. ooh blueberry, oh isn't that different? blah, blah and blah.
I like Taylor, but that's it. I'm so disappointed by John Galliano. You would think he wouldn't bow to conformity. Well he did. I would buy it for $5 and use it to make the bathroom smell good, because that bottle is gorgeous!

(sorry, had to say it)

Hey Lilo, I dont know you but respect your point, the thing is: Taylor Momsen is not a woman. Is a teenager. I'm still "young", I'm "gothic" and I'm everything that is far away from what a moral, pudic person is, believe me. I just think that the bottle and the perfume dont match at all with Momsen's "personality". But in another hand, if this perfume is for little girls, well then it suits perfectly Momsen really well. I think Momsen is as annoying as Paris Hilton but insteed of pink and happy is like "I'm so depressed, I'm one of the most ritch teenagers on the USA, I have everything that I want, I do everything that I want but still my live in miserable" C'mooooon!!!!! I sort of miss the real thing, I think teenagers should have idols that at least are what they are (wrong or right) and not spoiled brats that for a question of markething become pseudo-"whatever is cool at the moment". Its just annoying...

Now the perfume...
I agree with Noelia, its really nothing special and I dont know how Galliana can do a perfume like the first one and then surprise the market with this :S

I really liked Galliano's first perfume but this one you take Galliano's name off and it could be one of the seasonal Escadas: sweet, pleasant but so ordinary. Not much else to say about it.

The bottle and the name looks quite romantic like a love letter; stamps flowers pink etc. but the girl -Taylor representing this perfume has got nothing to do with romanticism.. So there is a huge message conflict between the image of the bottle and the ad campaign confusing the consumer with questions such as what is the target market of this perfume - if the target community is 17 year old gothic girls like Taylor then why is this bottle design is pink like a boring romantic love letter, if it applies to adults then why did they use this girl as the representator of this perfume?
I m sure there a reason of this strange combination.. but it gives no clue about the scent so I may forget about this bottle after 1 minutes I saw the campaign...

TanGirl - Oh girl... your talking borders misogyny. A woman showing her body isn't looking like a "hooker", c'mon... don't let yourself be brainwashed by the over-sexualization of the female body, the "modernity". A body is a body, a female body is a body, nothing more than that. If she's dressed from head to feet, or nude, she's still a woman, still has a body that is her instrument (not an ornament) and must be respect. Respect.
In all the other, I agree with you.

Oh, and the scent is... boring, sweet and teen. Yeah. I don't even need to tell anything more.

Uhhhhmmm I dont know why should John Galliano pick Taylor Momsen to represent this perfume?! Like...she's 16, she dresses like that for probably 6 months so I believe its not quite her "personality", she talks like she has no brain, she's completly talentless on acting and her band its good..but not because of her :S And its scary to see people say on the video that she represents this teen generation: posers, wannabe famous and wannabe rockstars dressing like 17th century hookers. OMG this generation tryes so much...I miss the 90'...
I dont know how this perfume smells, but probably is realy a "teen" scent because of the blueberry top note...I love the other JG perfume, but this one is probably bad...too much marketing....for test anyway...
