Miss Me Stella Cadente for women

An extremely interesting and layered scent. I don't see it in the notes but I swear this initially opens with a dry bergamot note. As it warms the honey and apple produce the same custardy apple note that Joop! All About Eve had (if you miss that scent it's worth giving this a try). As the day goes on the cinnamon and florals come and go and appear in different combinations. What I especially like about this perfume is that I'll catch a whiff of it and not realize that it's the perfume I'm wearing--it's got a lot of personality and volatility. This is very definitely a big girl scent. It's like moving from wine to brandy. You may not like it but you need to credit the sophistication and execution.
Sillage: good, 2-4 feet
Persistence: will last most of a day
Fabulosity: a really good gin rickey
Price to value: very good

I tried Miss Me today and here is how it went. Right away It was a big LILY. I thought I wonder if this has lily in it or am I smelling some other flower. Then it moved to lily in a garden, mostly in the lily section. Then the cinnamon and something from my first aid kit like first aid cream or a mens shaving cream thats trying to be unscented or something like that. At this point I kept hoping that that smell would pass but I figured it was in the basenotes and I dont know what it is. Wasnt bad enough to wash off but for about 2 hours it was cinnamon and something?. It was real close to something that I could love but that medical smell was just wierd. then I looked up the ingredients and was suprised to see peony. My husband hasnt liked any scent I have with peony and I wouldnt have figured it was there. however, I think I should steer away from peony. I only really smelled the things I said. then at the end cinnamon custard but not sweet. Like cinnamon in hot milk. and now a hint left. It lasted a long time. I am saying I disliked it because of the wierd smell I just couldn't like.

Love this scent. opens fresh, becomes warm and flowery. I really like the honey sweetness and the cinnamon in the dry down. I want a bottle so if you have one up for swap please let me know

I am undecided about this one! I completely agree it did not strike me as a floral-green scent. The opening was uber-sweet and a bit synthetic, but that passed quickly as the fragrance warmed up and became a sweet powdery cloud of scent! There is also a soapiness to this, which I personally feel is out of place, but that could just be my chemistry. I couldn't specifically detect any of the notes.

So in the end, for me, it was a soapy-baby-powder type of scent with great sillage, but I was eager to wash it off after an hour.

To my great surprise, Stella Cadente MISS ME is *very* similar to the Keiko Mecheri LOUKHOUM series. MISS ME is not by any stretch of the imagination a floral green perfume. Instead, this is an oriental floral of sorts, containing the same rare alkaloid note found in the LOUKHOUM perfumes and which makes them quite close neighbors on the grand olfactory map since basically nothing else contains this note. Powdery and sweet with a decidedly alkaline edge. Cocaine in a doughnut shop all over again.

I should say that MISS ME is quite a bit less sweet than the first LOUKHOUM, but the alkaloid connection is really strong. I like this composition a lot, because I am obviously an addictive personality and managed to acquire a dependency through the course of my three 2.5ml Keiko Mecheri LOUKHOUM samples. MISS ME, like the LOUKHOUMs, is different from typical mainstream oriental perfumes, and for that reason I am not at all surprised by the negative reviews. It seems that perceptions of the alkaloid component vary a lot from nose to nose. To me, it's great, and I'd love to have a bottle of this...

This is an excellent example of a case where neither perfume is really a knock-off of the other, but they were produced by different noses in different parts of the world at about the same time. I seriously doubt that there is any plagiarism whatsoever involved in cases where the two perfumes in question have been produced by parfumeurs rather than industry hacks. In this case, I'm not even sure which one came first, but they are very, very similar perfumes, so if you love the LOUKHOUMs, you're likely to love MISS ME. If you hate the LOUKHOUMs, then you'll want to stay far away from MISS ME, which should be easy to do, since it appears to have been discontinued.

Jamais senti un tel parfum et j'en suis de suite tombée amoureuse. Un beau floral poudré assez costaud, et très baumé. Son sillage est ultra présent et il ne laisse jamais indifférent.

Mais pourquoi a-t-il donc été arrêté?????

I really like this perfume, but have found it to have really mixed reviews when I wear it. Some people think insect spray while others think it smells like a lolly factory. Staying power is very good!

Interested?
Send me message.

Love, Tarya

I got a few samples of this. It smells like baby powder for adults. It's very sweet and powdery. The staying power is amazing. A little goes a long way with this perfume if you over spray you will be nauseous and make those around you sick as well.

Why oh why did they discontinue this? This is my perfect clean yet feminine cotton candy yet not too sweet musky yet not too musky scent.

Fun, whimsical bottle, but the scent is even better. It's so unique. I definitely smell cinnamon once it wears down. I also detect powder and bubble gum. But this scent is strictly for grown-ups. It's definitely too sophisticated for young girls. It's strong too--lasts from day into night with hardly any touching up needed.

BTW - Floral green is totally wrong. This perfume is not green at all! Just look at the notes.

I absolutely love this fragrance. It's unlike anything I've ever encountered. It starts off very powdery, but fades into more of a spicy cinnamon scent. When my friend caught a whiff of it on me, she grabbed the bottle and wanted to put it on herself, but I had to stop her. It's so hard to find now that it's discontinued that I won't waste any--sorry, friend! It's also very long-lasting, which is a must in my book.

If you like this one, you might also like Castelbajac EDP and EDT.

This is more of a floral-gourmand with some oriental notes, not picking up the green. I agree with Tarya: this is a sexy and powdery fragrance, very unique. This fragrance does something amazing in humidity... you will smell like the most delicious floral candy. A new summer favorite!

I first picked up a sample of this in France when it first came out. Was already back in Blighty before I realised I was going to fall in love with at first smell. I couldn't wait for my brother to get back on the Eurostar to bring me a bottle back. It's best kept for a now and again, so as not to fall out of love with it though. It's unusual and beautiful. Not for the masses, just something very different. Unable to pinpoint what I like about it but I definitely do. Worth trying a tester at least.

This is my favourite perfume EVER! Whenever i wear it people react on the way it smells, everybody loves the smell. Too bad it is sooooo hard to buy it in most countries

I always get compliments when I wear this. It doesn't smell like air freshener on me - at all.

It should have been called "Miss Rip Off", looking at the price this cheap smelling EDP is selling for. Initially you get a blast of... yes, cheap air freshener, and then it fades into nothing. One of the worst fragrances I have tried lately. Save your money for something far better than this.

I fell in love with this perfume immediately. The bottle was bit funny, not at all my taste, but the fragrance was so friendly, sexy, beautiful and powdery. The chemistry on this perfume on my skin is magical.
Draws complimets always when I'm using this.(another man-magnet is Dolce& Gabbanas first fragrance) Too bad that this is discontinued..

I love this, and cannot agree on air freshener at all. It´s not at ALL fresh, more like Pink Sugar :)

This is just awful. Smells like really cheap air freshener.
