Fragrance Reviews by winterlove

I have this in a body spray, which makes it very nice for layering scents :)

I simply adore Nina Ricci perfumes, and this one is no exception. This is fruity, and floral. Love the apricot and star anise notes in this one, sweet yet spicy! Granted, it is not a particularly innovative scent, but it is lovely! Classy bottle too, square, classic look happening there.

I own this! It is not something I wear very often, but when I do, I quite enjoy it. Its quite sweet, but I think its nicely blended. I quite like gourmand scents, but I can see why a lot of reviewers do not like this one. The gourmand thing HAS been a bit over-done of late!

If it's not overapplied, its quite sweet and quite soft too. Overapplication is a BAD idea!

I like this! Its so, different! Kind of hard to describe, its quite woody, this is sweet on me also. Lovely dry down. I find this to be a subtle fragrance, not overpowering in any shape or form.

This seems to be one that reacts differently on different skin types. I really would like to own a bottle of this, definately a far cry from the fruity florals that are dominating the market at the moment.

I tried this, and did not like! I suspect because it has been discontinued, the bottles you can purchase here in Australia now are at least two years old, may not have been stored properly, and the fragrance has been 'damaged'. This must be the case, because to me the fragrance smelt acrid - judging from other reviews I am going to blame the age of the perfume!

I appreciate a good chypre - and we are not seeing many of those kind of fragrances coming out these days. Seems to all be fruity florals, which are nice for daytime wear but I like a good chypre for the evening.

Very sophisticated scent - beautiful development, strong sillage, long lasting. Do not over apply, or it will become head-achy. This is one of my favourites.

This smells a lot like baby doll, its fun, fresh and fruity. Tangerine, star anise - makes it a little spicy. Nice everyday daytime fragrance, nice sillage, nice drydown too.

Very, average. Its a clean floral, but I wish it had some lasting power. It fades too quickly. Which is a shame, because otherwise it would make for a nice day time fragrance as its unoffensive and subtle.

I love this! Beautiful! It's the pink grapefruit that does it for me, its playful, sparkling, lively and girly. It's just fab!

I like this, its a nice summertime scent. No, its not wildly original, its quite sweet and there is nothing subtle about its composition. But its a nice everyday fragrance- you know, for a trip to the markets, or the beach, or for lunch with girlfriends.

This one does not strike me as a sexy fragrance. Best to have a collection, different frags have their purposes!

This is a nice day time scent, great for the office. Its a light floral, completely unoffensive, and subtle. Not a perfume for a date, just a nice everyday fragrance. I really like this one, a staple during the working week.

Unfortunately, lasting power is not all that great, particularly considering its an EDP. Again, it fades to a more subtle scent that holds close to the skin.

Could always reapply - but I am not one to carry fragrance around with me.

To me, this smelled a lot like Vera Wang Princess - must be the Tiare flower.

I could not smell the patchouli!

And I think the bottle is hideous. Ick!

Nothing special, nothing innovative. But it smells nice. Rather sweet.

I have a fairly sizeable perfume collection, and wear this occasionally. It was given to me as a present when I was first building up my perfume collection - and its going to last for a long time. If you wear it sparingly, you can enjoy the notes. If you wear too much, it is going to be overpowering and you will want to wash it off. So be warned!

This fragrance is very sweet, the cupcake note comes through very strongly. Like a lot of other reviewers, its the dry down that I like on this one. Creamy vanilla woods, very nice. This one is definately a winter fragrance. The woods cut the sweetness a bit, but I like a sweet perfume that is more spicy (try hypnotic poison).

Mmmmm! I bought a 100mL bottle of the EDP which arrived in the mail today (thank you Ebay!) and this is divine. Just LOVE the aniseed smell, totally gorgeous. I also enjoy sweet scents and this is delicious. This one deserves its reputation and popularity but I can see why some don't like it. It just depends on what your style is!

I would recommend testing before you buy though! See if it is to your taste.

This is my favourite fragrance in my collection. It is sublime and very very sexy! Love the berries and the oakmoss, this one is hot! 10 out of 10 from me!

I just HAD to have this classic perfume in my collection. Today I managed to get a gorgeous shalimar gift set with a EDP, body mist and hair gel in a gorgeous make up bag.

Anyway, the EDP is just lovely! Definately has the 'lemon pie' thing happening that other reviewers have pointed to. This sits very well on my skin, i love the sweetness of the vanilla and the sharpness of the bergamot - work so well together once the bergamot top note settles a little and the vanilla comes through more.

Can't wait to add more classic Guerlain fragrances to my collection!

On me, this is very creamy. Actually, it reminds me of what a really REALLY good quality soap or moisturiser should smell like.

I personally prefer something that is a little more spicy. I only tried this once, yesterday in fact. I might give it another try and see...

Oh, my, god! I tested this in the department store yesterday and I am positively LUSTING after a bottle. This one yields pure sex appeal, absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE the Vanilla in this scent, it is sweet but not cloying, and spicy but not overpowering.

Pure class, even the way the spray diffuses the fragrance is just divine.

I must, must, MUST own a bottle of this!

mmmm! I love love love this fragrance! on me that oakmoss scent makes this fragrance very sexy, flirty and fun. Shame it is not more readily available!

I love this, but I think it is a little too sweet for the summer months. I look forward to wearing this fragrance more during the winter months as a reminder of summer!

I really like this scent. At first I was a little disappointed but I have grown to appreciate it. I love the bergamot note in this fragrance. It is quite sweet too but not in a sickening way because of the citrus notes.

Calchic is right in the structure of the fragrance as 'hazy' - it does seem to be unstructured. But I like it!

This one is too sweet for me - it had a sickly kinda cotton candy thing going. I was just waiting for the fragrance to mellow out on me but it didn't happen. My mother owns a bottle of this so I will try it again in winter and see if I like it better then. Its heavy sweetness might suit the winter months better.

I bought this, without sniffing it first (silly) cause I am addicted to any perfume that comes under the 'mossy woods' category. I don't think it is as bad as the other review suggests - although i find the fragrance exhibits a little too much pactchouli, which overpowers the berry and wild orchid notes in the perfume. I found this one to be a little disappointing.

Note to self - wear fragrances before buying them. However, purple lips smelled divine I think I might have to get a small bottle...
