Aura Swarovski for women

I like its base note on me. It works for me but definitely not everyone. So do try it out before buying it.

The top note is very sweet but luckily, it goes away fast.

Came in one of my beautyboxes but way to strong and kind of sour for me!

Nice name, Nice bottle, I am sad I didnt find the contents lived up to both. Strong strong litchi and some rose to start with then fierce pink pepper, that I normally like but this just hurt my nose. The dry down has been soft and powdery, I am no longer fighting the temptation to wash it off but am glad I only bought a sample size. Not for me this one

Флаконът е супермодернистичен,направо футуристичен!Съдържанието е привлекателно,но нищо особено-нещо от рода на Bright cristal,Envy,Rose princesse...Не ме интересува като опция.

Aura let me down and I wish - really wish - I could say otherwise because I really fell in love with the bottle and the notes. But for the fragrance itself: Only two notes are prominent on my skin... Strong Musk and syrupy Litchi. Both of them are of the low quality kind. I've sprayed this on myself and so did two other friends of mine, who scrubbed it off right away just like I did. The bottle and marketing is exquisite but I wonder how many people would actually like the juice inside if it was sold in a cheap discount store and in a nondescript unlabeled bottle. Even though I'm a lover of tropical/fruity/sweet notes, it just didn't work for me. I'm glad that it worked for some people though.

Beautiful scent! When I felt it for the 1st time I fell in love with this perfume and definitelly it became my personal perfume for the spring 2012.

Very sweet, seasoned with lots of pink pepper. It made me even sneeze!
This fragrance starts in a rather sharp way, very strong and in your face. Roses and litchi are found in the opening. Although the pink pepper is said to be a basenote, I can detect it immediately. Tuberose is clearly present, but only for a short period of time, giving the scent a more elegant and feminin feel.
On my skin the fragrance develops in a rather bland and boring way. The drydown leaves me nothing more than a soft sweet smell. Not bad, but rather common and boring.

Lovely bottle! Sillage and lastingpower are moderate.

Aura EDT surprised me in a good way. It starts off with roses from Chloe edp surrounded by something really sparkling and fizzy. Then it becomes fruitier and softer, though in a very sophisticated way, and begins to remind of YSL Parisienne. A noble modern fragrance.

No No No for this one - I expected something tender & soft as the advertisement leads you, but when I tried it just (YUCK) .. pure headache in a cheap way ..

marketing wise - great idea, but they should have sticked to the jewelry making. Having a perfume was just another way to make more zillions. and I am not helping them for sure. Not by buying this smell. The bottle is a piece of art - I must admit that - but the smell? If it would be packed in cheap bottle and has not the name Swarowski on it - I AM SURE nobody would ever care. it´s the brand that makes you feel like it´s special. Sorry, to say that but it is very cheap, been there smell that makes me wanna rub it off my skin.

i use this perfume and it's one of my fav... It's cool,sweet and very lady like

The Bottle and overall appearance is awesome but the perfume is quite ordinary. Saying that it is a good punt for a present, fruity, musky, rosy, i guess i like it over all but not an original fragrance at all, but i guess that will have a general appeal to all

i loved this one,not one for airy scents, as they do not last long,I got the body cream,which claims to have crushed swavoski cystals,but yeah nice one!!!!

I loooove this perfume. Got a small sample of it. I think it smells somehow like Coco Chanel Mademoiselle. Not identically, but they are alike.
Saving my money so I can buy the big bottle (extremely expensive, if you ask me!). Well, I guess it worth it. The juice smells amazing and the bottle is sooo beautiful. Very Swarovski in the style. And the gorgeous 'diamond' on the top - simply perfection.

I AM IN LOVE :D

I expected more from this perfume. Swarovski did an awesome job when it comes to the bottle design, but everything else is just pure disappointment.

I've read perfume reviews comparing perfume with kitchen cleaner, never thought I'd actually say it myself! Horrible smell so in your face and sharp/bitter! Can't say I'd ever want to wear this!

This is not for me. Remind me of an old garage. When I see what other perfumes this "nose" has made, I don't like any of them so maybe it's my nose it's something wrong with.

This is sort of strange...but not in a good/unique way. I have to agree with some others that have mentioned it smells like many other fruit-citrus-floral fragrances already on the market. It's a hint bitter, and personally I find something about it quite abrasive and chemical-smelling. Perhaps it's the gigantic amount of pink pepper. I would also agree it's somewhat along the lines of YSL Parisienne - a synthetic but light fruity-floral aroma. Unfortunately for me this fragrance is a dislike.

I've tried both EDP and EDT versions. I have to say that Aura is one of the few fragrances that offers a different scent altogether for the newer version of the existing fragrance, be it EDP or EDT. And i like this kind of approach. In fact, the purpose of introducing a new fragrance is to announce a new olfactory discovery to the market. If the same scent is introduced again and again with only a slight, meagre change just for the sake of adding more variety (this subsequently amounts to the impression of being less creative), consumers will eventually be dissapointed.

Back to Aura. After testing the fragrance, I found that Aura EDP is sweet. And when i say sweet, i really mean it. This is well expected in these days where most fragrances are created to impart the sweet-smelling quality. It has its own character though and not bad at all. But, the sweetness that entails in the composition somehow shadows its uniqueness and almost instantly drive me into concluding that this fragrance is just another of those 'sweeties'. This is the rough idea of how i feel about the EDP version and i'm not going to discuss about the notes. For me it's too abstract for discussion. Don't quickly jump into conclusion just yet by this judgement of mine. Try it for yourself. To others this might turn out to be perfect.

On the other hand, the EDT is the one that actually excites me. It is floral. Straight floral with some fresh, sparkling qualities which i really adore. For comparison, Dior Addict Shine by Christian Dior is the best candidate. It's just that Aura EDT is lacking the lovely woody undertone possessed by Addict Shine. Aura EDT, in my opinion has no resemblance to its predecessor. It stands on its own, with its own beauty and character. Simply in love with it. I might wear it even when i already have Addict Shine that shares some of the same notes with Aura EDT (i'm referring to the heart notes). Having said this, however, they are not identical and the distinctiveness is still perceptible.

While the bottle is, by far, one of the most stunning design with a generous-size glittering diamond adorned at the top of the bottle, i feel that it is not really user-friendly, though. If only the supposed stopper (it's more like a case) does not cover almost the entire bottle. It's quite a chore to pull out the bottle from that metallic case every time. This concept reminds me of Calvin Klein's Contradiction fragrance bottle which is just as not user-friendly.

Putting the packaging factor aside, i must congratulate Swarovski for this brand's first release (under the Aura name) and i'm expecting more in the coming years. Again, i love your Aura EDT.

I smelt this last weekend in store, and I as much as I liked it initially, and the sales assistant claimed it was selling like hot cakes, after a few sniffs over the course of the evening, it reminded me of a lighter and cheaper version of Viktor & Rolf's Flower Bomb. I don't really like FB, a nice scent, but never managed to captivate me (and the fact every second woman seems to have it, turns me off). At the end of the night, I decided I would give Aura a miss as I didn't love it in the end.

It's lasting power is fairly average, bout 4 - 5 hours. I would recommend it for those that want a lighter version of Flower Bomb.

The most beautiful packaging I have ever ever ever ever seen, so exactly what I would expect from swarovski.
The liquid inside also just beautiful, It went on crisp and a little sweet. The rose and lichi very apparent so clean, dried to a beautiful sweet musky amber body.
I look forward to getting this.
Lasted about 4 hours so it is expensive for what you are getting. I anticipate after a few months this will significantly reduce in price. I will wait, this seems a nice spring/summer frag and its winter here anyway..

This one has some kind of cold freshness and that is really unpleasant. There is also some bitterness there... Maybe inovative but unpleasant and crule.

Yes - this was an impulse buy, and I bought it mostly for the bottle - but it is not a bad scent at all! I got it for my mum, in the hope that it smelled enough like pink grapefruit for her liking (I am searching for a pink grapefruit scent for her because that's her favourite smell in the whole world). But unfortunately she said it didn't smell like pink grapefruit (I know, it's litchi in the top), and as a whole it was not distinctive enough to want to keep. That posed a problem, because I had already bought a 50mL bottle... Wondering what to do, I kept using the sample vial of the fragrance on me, and over time I have decided that *I* like it. So, it finished with me keeping the bottle for myself!

I just got this, and being an Olivier Cresp (one of my favorite parfumeurs) creation, I had high hopes for it.

Aura did meet my expectations, and I really like it. I'm surprised by all the negative reviews for this perfume.

The rose and litchi are a beautiful summery combination that reminds me of picnics in the park and evening walks in the gardens. The sharp fruity note and the soft floral note and very well executed.

I love the dry down as the tuberose emerges and eventually the amber and musk leave it soft and delicate. This is a very feminine fragrance.

It has great sillage and I received several compliments while wearing it.

The lasting power wasn't fantastic...4-5 hours...but that's average on my skin.

Honestly, this is a scent that isn't defined by age, and can be worn by any age group.

The bottle is simply stunning, and a beautiful addition to any collection based on aesthetics alone.

Lovely scent, lovely packaging...perfect for the warm weather...8/10

All I smell is YSL Parisienne - boring, bland and generic. I'll pass

It starts out in your face strong and sharp in the most unpleasant way. It this starts to quickly transform into smelling like a Bounce Dryer Sheet.

This scent doesn't work for me at all. Perhaps it's just my nose because my colleague said she loved it on me but I found it too potpurri-ish and musky. The bottle is beautiful of course but the scent itself left me totally underwhelmed. I see NO similarities to Womanity whatsoever (which smells fabulous on me - since apparently I'm one of the few). This is not at all fruity or sweet rather more rosey and soapy. I guess it could work for some but lychee and I appear to not be friends.

I was very curious about this new fragrance. The bottle was so beautiful : I thought the perfume was original too. But the test has been very disappointing. This perfume is classic, and I didn't like it. Too bad, the bottle was really beautiful.

smelled this yesterday AND LOVED IT!! LOOKS AMAZING TOO!!

would n't it be great if some one out there making perfume valued originality...this is just like so many others - I get bored of trying them - sweet(ish)fruity(ish) soapy(ish)light(ish).

I like the opening of Aura but it soon becomes boring. Also it smells like a UNISEX scent.

Was expecting this fragrance to try it and like many others was really dissapointed. Rose-litchi-citrus combination with a weak lasting power. It is a product of Clarins group that makes also Mugler products and i was expecting the same quality but it is not. This very sweet, a bit powdery litchy-tuberose potion lasted on my skin only 1,5 hour!
The fragrance is nice but strongly reminds me of something i have smelled before. I just don´t remember which one was it.

Amazing bottle and promising notes but the perfume sucks. So sharp and synthetic!

The bottle is sparkling and beautiful. The smell is okay, nothing special. It's just the very intense smell in the magazine ad that sickens me. If you like bold feminine florals for a cold morning, give it a go.

very eyecatching bottle, hinting to what could be a confident, bold fragrance.
to me this is quite sharp at first, and very sweet, somewhat sickly to the point it gives me a headache. It smells expensive, but that doesn't necessarily mean it smells classy. Kind of reminds me of walking into a fragrance area of a duty free shop in an airport or something... don't know why.
as to whether the perfume is confident and bold... it's quite heady in its sweetness but unfortunately the real body of notes is not that unusual in comparison most fruity florals i've smelt.
not totally unpleasant but lacks individuality and too sweet/sickly for me.

I was quite curious about the first Swarovski scent. I went out to try it and was disappointed. To me it's just one more of these citrusy-I-don't-care-about-because-there-are-so-plenty-of-it-scents.

It sounded lovely and came in a beautiful bottle. Because it was a debut by Swarovski, I couldn't help be interested.

However, it looked lovely in the bottle but smelt **horrid** - as in rancid and sour - right from the first spray to eventually fade down to something fractionally bearable about 4 hours later :/

This is about the first perfume I've tried ever to have done that to me, and I have no idea why.... I can't think of any notes my chemistry would have had a bad reaction to. I'm pretty sure I've got perfumes with at least one of the notes in this which have worked absolutely fine....
Mind you, I'm hardly well versed in the world of fragrance, lulz.

P.S. I'm wondering if it's the lychee?

The bottle reminds me of Aigner Too Feminine alot. And for some reason it smells alot like S.T. Dupont Blanc and a bit of Aigner Too Feminine too. Hmm

I've been testing this one today .
It is very nice , fruity , sweet , i find a bit weird the " oriental floral" classification .
The litchi note is the strongest one here , but there is not much other things , not enough other things. With such a bottle , one could have expected a more classy scent, more sophisticated .
It's definitely too basic , but still very pleasant to wear . Litchi fans will love it. Oh , and one last thing, despite it is an EDP the lasting power is so weak .

WOW....What a bottle!!! I was looking at other bottles in the store and then I heard angels sing....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh la la la ahhhh I turned and saw this beauty on it's own promotional stand...gleaming and sparkling, calling me over.

It also had these gorgeous mini makeup trinkets beneath it which were just as beautiful.

*sighs*

This scent was...kinda a dissapointment, the classic case of something mediocre packaged in something SO beautiful a la Mugler's Womanity. Ok...it was pretty, pink smelling...lovely nontheless...I mean, I'd probably wear it, but the bottle WAY steals the thunder of the juice inside which is exactly what I'd expect of Swarovski! You're forté is glitz and sparkle...NOT scent!

I will obviously give this another go because of course I need an excuse to own the masterpeice bottle, but scent itself is kinda like a mixture of a well rounded pink floral that just smells...well...kind pink. I can't see it having much depth or personality!!!

I smelled this yesterday! >D
It is very floral and somehow fragile smelling. At first not so special, but then it got me interested in it - it kind of suggests expense. Fragrance might be not really for my type of personality, but it's ordinary expensive floral rosy composition, that is juiced up with one of my favourite notes - litchi and tuberose, just don't let me go. If I would be asked what structure this smell has I'd say glass. If compared to latest releases, it's quite earned my sympathy. And still, it leaves me guessing if I've ever smelled it before. Yet nothing comes to my mind. So, If you like feminine florals give it a try.
