Fragrance Reviews by sweetcrazylaura

I just adore this. It is so different, and when worn by a friend for years, I always wanted to lick her neck! So I finally bought some for myself and it is such a treat.

I really wanted to like this. But to me it smells of rich old ladies! I guess my nose prefers more modern scents, and this one smells cheap to me. I have to assume it is the fault of my nose, since everyone else seems to love it. Or maybe it's the case of the emperor and his new clothes?

I think this perfume smells good on a blotter only, because after loving it that way, I bought it for myself. It didnt wear well on me. That was disapointing, since I really, really liked the way it smelled on the blotter. It had a fresh, clean smell mixed with white florals (I love white florals). It's great for a late spring/early summer day, when you have spring fever!

This smells SOOOOO good. I tried a sample a week ago and I fell in love. The 300 dollar price tag made me sad, as I could not buy it right away. But soon! It is floral without being too much, so warm, inviting and oh-so pretty. This is such a signature fragrance, ideal for any time of year, any occasion.
The bottle is GORGEOUS too. Gold with gemstones stamped into the lid, exquisite!

I love this fragrance. It is REALLY similar to Opium, but I find it less sweet and very sexy and mysterious. Yes, my grandmother also had this, but rarely wore it, so the "old lady" factor is not an issue. I read recently that this fragrance was developed to be the first perfume that women would by for themselves (as opposed to a man buying it for her). That really appeals to me, and when I wear it, I feel super confident. I have the "bath oil" as well, but I use it as a perfume when I want an "extra hit". Sometimes I even add a drop to a fragrance free shampoo or body wash for a subtle fragrance.
