 | Iris Poudre by Editions de Parfums Frederic MalleTo me, it's vaguely reminiscent of Bulgari pour Femme. It must be the powder connection. At any rate, it is one of the more wearable Frederic Malle perfumes. 12nd January, 2008. |
 | Rock 'n Rose by ValentinoIt's very young and fresh, thats much is true. It's also very boring and quite bland. 23rd December, 2007. |
| | M7 by Yves Saint LaurentI love this one but can't get my husband to wear it. So, I wear it myself. It is soft enough for a woman but definitely made for a man (now did that sound like a Secret commercial or what?) 23rd December, 2007. |
| | Jazz by Yves Saint LaurentThis takes me back to my late teens instantly. I think I spent one night kissing someone who wore it. It's nice enough but nothing special. Certainly much less offensive than the other legend at the time, which was Fahreneit. 23rd December, 2007. |
| | No. 5 by ChanelWow, I thought there would be a lot more reviews about this one. I think Chanel No5 grows on most people with age. I remember smelling it when I was in college because my best friend was into all things grown up: she would wear black pants and black pumps to go to class and she would wear Chanel No5 (she would also sometimes wear First by Van Cleef et.al.) At that time, it was too overpowering, almost air-freshener or laundry detergentlike and also, I hate to say this but, what my aunt might wear and I did not like her. I was into easy stuff like Lumiere by Rochas or Eau de Givenchy or Anais Anais. 20th May, 2007. |
| | Bandit by Robert PiguetThis is Perfume 101 for any serious reviewer. They don't review Chanel 5 because of its mainstream popularity but cannot do without reviewing Bandit. For this reason alone, I was scared of trying it. Fortunately, I ended up with the EDP which is supposed to be less aggressive. It was actually quite tame on me. The reason I mentioned Chane 5 is because it smells similar (but far more interesting) on my wrists. I have not heard this from anyone else so it must be my chemistry. At any rate, I am definitely hooked and for some reason feel superior because I can pull this one off (meant in a joking way). I figure this is Perfume God's consolation price to me for not being able to wear the likes of Flowerbomb, Black Orchid, and Angel. 16th May, 2007. |
| | Blu Notte by BulgariI like the powder but it smells a bit generic to me. I think I'm spoiled by the original Bulgari. 14th May, 2007. |
 | Brit Red by BurberryThey're not kidding with the rhubarb and the gingerbread. I usually stay away from gourmand scents, they dont' work well with my chemistry. This one makes me think of Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread house. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Le Baiser du Dragon by CartierI'm glad all the reviewers gave it a thumbs up. I don't have a good history with Cartier perfumes but this one is positively different. It has patchouli but it's very unlike all the other patchouli scents out there. The almond scared me but I really didn't notice it on my skin. On me, it smelled spicy in an Opium sort of way but more modern. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Bulgari Black by BulgariI can smell the rubber but it's not offensive. I thought it would be more edgy but it's just nice enough. Nothing special in my opinion. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Brit by BurberryAmong all the different Brit versions, this is my favorite. It's not very interesting and gets a bit too close for comfort to those scents that I do not care for such as Coco Mademoiselle and Flowerbomb but there is a freshness to it that stays through. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Weekend for Women by BurberrySweet but inoffensive. As with most other Burberrys, it's uninteresting but you can't really go wrong. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Burberry for Women by BurberryI swore I could smell green apples but it is not in the notes. Maybe I'm mistaking something else for it. At any rate, it is one of the rare Burberrys that I actually like. It's clean, even a bit soapy but also warmish. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Blu by BulgariNot bad. A tad too masculine for my taste. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Bulgari pour Femme by BulgariThis is one of my favorites. It's powdery and floral but not too heavy on either. It's clean but not 1-dimensional. I was surprised to see that it was introduced in the Nineties. It seems more like an Eighties one to me (in a good way). 14th May, 2007. |
| | Initial by BoucheronIt's not unpleasant but it's a bit too warm for my taste. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Jaïpur Saphir by BoucheronThis is one of my favorite perfumes. I agree with some of the previous decsriptions: it's cool and velvety but at the same time you can smell hints of vanilla and woods, which softens things up. It smells luminous and bright but has enough mystery and darkness to not be too boring. Finally, it is powdery but wet at the same time. Simply divine, at least on my skin. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Jaïpur by BoucheronJaipur is well done but does not compare to its sister Jaipur Saphir favorably. It's rather forgettable in the end. I can't even remember what I feel like when I wear it. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Boucheron by BoucheronThis is my second favorite in the Boucheron line. They make high quality fragrances and they don't feel the need to be original or du jour. Just classic enough to have staying power. Having said that, this is the most unusual use of orange I have seen. I don't usually care for fruity stuff, this is different. I can smell it in the beginning but it blends beautifully with the rest and only leaves a hint of freshness. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Beach by Bobbi BrownI agree with Flathorn 100%. The perfume is nothing special but I think the soap and the oil fare better. Perhaps, she should think about making a candle and/or room fragrance and/or linen spray from this one. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Bobbi by Bobbi BrownIt's nice. Nothing special. Sort of like the feeling you get with her make-up line. 14th May, 2007. |
| | Bijan With a Twist by BijanIt smells clean and floral. Not at all what I would expect from Bijan. I can't stand his billboard ads and his other perfumes. This one is different. 14th May, 2007. |
| | W by Banana RepublicNice enough. It smells like pencil sharpenings. 13rd May, 2007. |
| | Cristobal by BalenciagaI have this one. It's not what I would expect from Balenciaga (for me, the epitome of Balenciaga is Le Dix). It's just okay, a bit too sweet and safe for my taste. 13rd May, 2007. |
| | Le Dix by BalenciagaI received this as a gift from an old uncle. Even at age 17, I appreciated it. It smells very powdery, which is something I have always liked. If that makes me an "old lady", so be it. 13rd May, 2007. |
| | Azzura by AzzaroIt's fresh and clean. A bit boring too. 13rd May, 2007. |
| | Grand Amour by Annick GoutalI am too lazy to learn the notes so I will only state the feeling it evokes. It is a very grown-up fragrance. It makes me feel like a mature woman who is getting ready for a night out. 13rd May, 2007. |
| | Folavril by Annick GoutalI agree with both reviews. I tend to like soapy perfumes and this fits the bill. It is slightly wet and also a bit fruity but not in a teeny bopper way. 13rd May, 2007. |
| | Kingdom by Alexander McQueenPros: The bottle is very original. The scent is very original. I love McQueen's designs in general. 13rd May, 2007. |
| | Alessandro Dell'Acqua by Alessandro Dell'AcquaI don't quite speak the language of formal notes so my reviews will be in laywoman's terms. This one smells very clean, soapy, and wet to me. It is rather sharp but in a good way. 13rd May, 2007. |
