LOvely floral. Similar to Shalimar, and Michael Korrs.

Hiris by Hermès

I don't know why the desciption of hiris says suitable for women. It is after all, a women's perfume. Go to Hermes website, and find out for yourself, they are the makers of this scent. It's not even a unisex scent if there really is such a thing.

212 Sexy by Carolina Herrera

Too dry for my taste. The scent never changes. It stays a strong heady burnt wood smell. I'd add a little more to this one to make it stand out.

Brit by Burberry

I don't detect any pear, but I do smell a yummy nutty vanilla. Mahagony is also in this, which I think gives it, it's depth. I love it. Finally a strong nutty scent that lasts. I'd love to own the lotion and shower gel,and I'd buy this one over again and again!!!

Black for Her by Kenneth Cole

I actually really like this perfume. It reminds me of a day at the beach. If you want an amazing amber scent try Issey Miyake Le Feu D'Issey Light. Wow is that a beautiful yummy scent.

parfums*PARFUMS Series 5 Sherbet: Rhubarb by Comme des Garçons

I agree with all the reviews posted. I feel like a princess when I wear it, because I've found something so unique and special!

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana

This to me is a classic. I can imagine a man or woman wearing it. It has a fresh sparkling apple begininng, then a musk dry down. Perfect for a hot summer day, or a frosty winter morning. I like it alot, and I have many scents in my wardrobe.

Tender Touch by Burberry

Starts off very green, and then kind of stays there. Doesn't do very much for me, plus it's so strong I'm afraid I'll give people a headache.

Reaction Women by Kenneth Cole

The fragrance that smells better than it would appear. Smells like an icy mango mixed with peonies. Fresh and piercing, not overly floral. Makes my bathroom smell beautiful!

Le Feu D'Issey Light by Issey Miyake

This scent is a rich milky amber. From the start to finish, this scent has a warm sweetness to it.
It's probably the best scent I have ever wore, or have come across.

Curious by Britney Spears

This to me smells like cheap aerosol hairspray. I think it tries to be musky and sexy with a magnolia flower scent, but it needs to be reformed. Maybe they could use a real essential oil to stabolize the body of this one.

Paris Hilton by Paris Hilton

This is actually a very nice fragrance. It has a chilly pear essence, and it really lasts. There are similar scents to this one, but it is one worth trying.

Chic by Carolina Herrera

Chic is a wonderful spicy floral. It starts off soft, then moves to a slight green, the dry down is a sweet floral. I own two bottles, because it is a reliable scent.

Allure Homme by Chanel

This is the best men's cologne ever made. It is very masculine, but still embodies an herbal floral scent that is hard to beat. It makes my husband more kissable when he wears it!

Amor Amor by Cacharel

This is a fruity floral. It has memorable qualities. Not too green or floral, and not at all spicy. Just a warm fruity new way to wear a fragrance.

Noa Fleur by Cacharel

A lovely soft floral with an essence of coffee. I have so many positive comments made to me when I wear it. This one is smooth and has lasting power. Suitable for any occasion. Young, and fresh!

Rockin' Rio by Escada

This fragrance smells like a tropical hawaiian drink. A co-worker wears it, and it is sometimes to over-powering. It is noncomplex, with scents of pinneapple and maybe coconut? Not for me.

Vera Wang by Vera Wang

This is a true white floral. It does start off strong, but not to strong. It is definetly a wedding day fragrance. It's too bad because this would be a perfect everyday scent if it weren't so intense.
17 August 2005

Amen by Philosophy

This would be a wonderful scent for a teenaged girl. It is a soft floral that has innocence written all over it. It is sheer enough not to affend. Very pretty.
17 August 2005

Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel

This is the perfect holiday scent. A winter special occasion fragrance. It starts off peppery, then goes into a floral that has lasting power. It is one that most people should own in their collection.
17 August 2005

Ô de Lancôme by Lancôme

I feel mixed up by this scent. I like it on one hand because it is over the top citrus,and the on the other hand that is why I don't like it. It is the perfect hot and humid day scent, but that's it. I do like it when all is said and done.

Truth Calvin Klein Lush by Calvin Klein

This scent is so feminine. It has a powdery oriental feel to it. It's a natural beauty. It doesn't have one stand out flower. It embodies, and captures the scent of walking in an asian garden. Simply beautiful.

L'Instant de Guerlain by Guerlain

Definetly a honeyed amber scent. It is strong. I purchased it hastely, and I probably regret it. It has an old-fashioned feel to it. I'm in my twenties, and look for more interesting complexed scents. Think floral bouqet, a lot of them.

Magnetism by Escada

This is a wonderful fresh oriental. It starts off green ,then floral, and the dry down is like a powdery velvet. It is best for evening or winter time. Definetly not a casual daytime scent.

Aqua Allegoria Lavande Velours by Guerlain

I own and wear this scent, because of the herbal aspect of this fragrance. It starts off woody, then sweet like an english candy, then the dry down is a true spanish lavender. It is excellent, and one that needs to be owned.
17 August 2005

Aqua Allegoria Herba-Fresca by Guerlain

I recieve so many compliments when wearing this scent. It has a feeling of pure freshness that people like to smell. Very green to start with, then dries down to a floral mint scent. It's a winner.
