My mother owns this one and it works for her. I really didn't care too much for it...it seems a bit on the cheap side. I think the only reason she has it is because she got it as a gift because she frequents the Red Door spa. I'm indifferent. Probably wouldn't get it for my wife.

I don’t know what note there is in Red Door, but, to my nose, it comes off as really retching. I get no individual notes – just a noxious conglomerate odor. And my skin isn’t to blame for this one – I get the same offness straight from the bottle, on paper, on my skin, and on others’ skins. Putrid – and to make matters worse, it is powerful – two sprays would fill a small gymnasium and last twenty hours. Maybe I got a sample gone bad.

An overbearing SA at David Jones sprayed this on me when my friend and I were borwsing the store. We both were horrified by its strong, sickly scent, and my friend demanded that I keep away from her until I got to a bathroom to scrub it off. Even then it remained on my wrist, giving me a headache by the end of the day. A completely overpowering perfume, that along with Thierry Mugler's Alien is the only one to truly repulse me.

Ergh. "I don't like it" *in voice of Andy from Little Britain*...

Aweful stuff. I can;t say that its particularly sweet, but it has an aweful sickly presence...

I used to think it was ok, but then my Ancient History teacher went overboard with it...Then after, the more she wore it, it seemed, the smaller the class became...Room-clear, is what Red Door is.

It'd be ok if it wasn't strong and sickly!

My mom wears this so well! She always gets compliments. I'm not very good at identifying scents yet but it smells really clean and reminds me of a warm breeze. All my mom's clothing smells like it too.
However, RD smells like plastic crap on me, plus I am allergic to it and I break out in hives. It's definitely not for some folks.
Mixed feelings on this one!

This is actually one of my favourate perfumes, but I am getting a bit suspicious as it is always on sale at ridiculous prices. For this reason I am always a bit embarrased to say what I am wearing when people ask me as I think it has a reputation as being a bit "cheap!" (I know thats snobbish!) I always get compliments on it. Anyway, it really smells great and has good staying power too.
