Cabotine by Grès

Received as a gift from a friend who knows my weakness for trying different perfumes.

I found that upon spraying first, it is not pretty. It is a strong, in your face, soapy cleaning solution. I remembered reading that people really liked it so I waited it out. Am I glad I did! It works beautifully with my skin and the lingering scent keeps me going to smell my wrist. A lovely floral (tuberose?) vanilla scent which lasts and lasts.

Tracy by Ellen Tracy

Ubu, when an opportunity to buy a bottle presented itself, I checked the reviews and found yours. I trust your judgement so I went ahead with the purchase. Like you, I am pleasantly surprised. I keep sniffing my arm becuase I love the creaminess of this scent. I pick up vanilla and almond but a very subtle floral that reminds of gardenia. It is indeed an excellent scent for the summer. Very wearable.

Que Viva by Escada

I smell lush mango in Que Viva. It's always been a summer scent for me. Harder to find these days but a lot of fun.

Habanita by Molinard

I received a sample of this and found myself loving this ambery vanilla scent to be very sophisticated. It lasts a very long time. To me it does not smell as masculine. It's amazing that this complex fragrance from 1921 can still feel seductive and sophisticated today. Makes me feel sexy and elegant, all at once.

Heure Exquise by Annick Goutal

This was my second Annick Goutal purchase and I find it to be an "old-fashioned" type scent, but in a good way. I smell roses and powder but also something else I cannot figure out... The drydown is quite nice and lasts a long time. I don't wear it during the day but to go out.

Euphoria Blossom by Calvin Klein

A very nice light scent for the summer. It's fresh and a little green at first and then moves down to a light floral scent.

Adrienne Vittadini by Adrienne Vittadini

I find Adrienne Vittadini to be a comforting scent. It is very feminine light oriental fragrance that can be worn during the day without offending. I find it warm, powdery and subtle in its simplicity. Definitely, it is not a sillage monster but on me, at least, lasts through the day.

Amazing Grace by Philosophy

I was recently introduced to Amazing Grace by a friend and loved it. I like it's soft, clean quality but feel that in order for it to be effective you must wear both the body lotion and the perfume. In fact you may even use the shower gel. I think it's a beautiful sweet floral scent.
