Ex'cla.ma'tion by Coty

Now this is the smell of 80s in a bottle! The disco ball, bright fuschia lipstick... It reminds me of those times and that's why I like it. It smells a bit cheap, and I sometimes find it sexy exactly beacuse of that..

CK In 2U Her by Calvin Klein

This is a clean, citrusy, refreshing perfume meant for the younger generation. It is just one of that citrusy smells and there is nothing original with it. Not for me.

4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser by 4711

This is meant to be a refreshing cologne and it does the job quite well. No more promises..

Youth Dew by Estée Lauder

This is how a seductress smell... Warm, inviting, sexy, caring, feminine... This is one of the best orientals ever done. Though it is a well known scent, it does not lose from its originality, cause its a unique perfume. It is definitely not for everyone though.. A small dose works best.

Daisy by Marc Jacobs

An ordinary floral... there is nothing original with it. I love perfumes with a character.

L by Lolita Lempicka

This perfume is quite woody and heavy. I smell lots of patchouli in it. Definitely not for me.

Estée by Estée Lauder

This perfume smells like an insecticide. Urgh.. I am sorry.

Agent Provocateur by Agent Provocateur

You have to give some time to Agent Provocateur... At first,I didn't like this perfume at all, yet I started to like it gradually. It is a unique scent and definitely not for everyone; results depend on the chemistry of the wearer. I think I know why this smell is promised to attract men; and why some men hate it, whereas some love it: This perfume resembles the smell of a woman's body; ummh, you get it.

Anaïs Anaïs by Cacharel

A very lady-like floral bouquet with a hint of bergamot... It is too old-fashioned for now though.

Vanilla Vanille by Body Shop

Smells like vanilla, vanilla and delicious, mouth-watering vanilla! Men love this. It is my fail-safe seduction elixir. I adore this perfume, yet I miss the more natural, headier older version. Unfortunately: the bigger bussinnes the Body Shop is; the lesser original and natural the products are.

Odyssey by Avon

I used to wear this scent as a teen-ager. I adored it, and I still love it a lot. It is a clean, soft, musky floral. Combining it with its body cream gives perfect results.

Mitsouko by Guerlain

If I had to choose only a one perfume to wear for a lifetime, that could be Mitsouko. It is such a unique and classy scent. It smells very nostalgic, yet not in an old-fashioned way. This perfume is able to recreate itself to harmonize with the spirit of all times. I would not try to define how this perfume smells, cause to me Mitsouko smells like Mitsouko and nothing else!
Everytime I wear this scent I get compliments. There is more than that: Once, a man overtly tried to sniff me!

Arabie by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido

This perfume is original and unique, yet it is too incredibly heavy to wear. To me it smells like a very heady mix of black pepper, amber and woods. It instantly gives me a headache.

Neroli Jasmine by Body Shop

I love neroli and jasmine; so I got quite excited when this perfume was launched, yet it dissapointed me. It is a synthetic mix which slightly resembles the real smells of neroli and jasmine. This perfume is far from originality.

Crystal Aura by Avon

This perfume is way too heavy... It's a heady fruity floral yet I smell woody tones also. I usually like Avon's perfumes yet this one is a disaster. Sorry:)

Rougeberry by Body Shop

This perfume smells quite synthetic, chemical, cheap and ordinary. A mix of lots of heady cassis + fruit salad...

Blonde by Versace

This perfume is one of my top favourites. It puts me on a dream state. I cannot have enough of it. As it is a discontinued fragrance, I am planning to stock it. Despite I have quite a large perfume wardrobe, I feel I cannot do without this.
