 | Vanille Banane by Comptoir Sud PacifiqueDelicious! This warm bananery scent smells more like banana cream or banana dessert then the fruit. It's sugary and reminds me of freshly baked banana cake. 27th March, 2006. |
 | Vanilla Vanille by Body ShopSweet. This scent is extremely sweet! It doesn't smell much like real vanilla, more like corn syrup and honey with a slight hint of florals. So unsuprisingly this scent becomes cloying and overly sweet when it's on your skin for more then an hour. The lasting power of this is not very good either. It only lasts 3 and a half hours on me and I have oily olive skin which is supposed to retain fragrances the best. 14th March, 2006. |
| | Angel by Thierry MuglerFirst of all I'ld like to say this perfume bottle is the most original and one of the most beautiful out there. 13rd March, 2006. |
| | Secret Wish by Anna SuiWhen I first tried this it was foul! But this is certainly a scent you shoud give a second chance. A month later when I tested it again it smelt wonderful! It was so sutbly fruity and musky. The top note of melon was the most prominent and the dry down was an interesting woody smell. To top it all off, this has the most beautiful bottle cap design I have ever seen! The bottle itslef looks like a green-blue rock with a little fairy perched on top. It would look beautiful on any dressing table. 8th March, 2006. |
| | Pink Sugar by AquolinaThis is definately not unisex! It's completely sweet and feminine. The top notes are very sweet, sugary and a little spicy and the dry down is even sweeter maybe creamy. Suprisingly it works well in cold weather too. My only compliant is that it smells quite childish, it's certainly not sophisticated. 6th March, 2006. |
| | Escada Sport Spirit by EscadaI do like this one, it's my favourite from the series! It's airy, almost aquatic and fruity as opposed to your usual intensely fruity fragrances with heavy floral backgrounds. 6th March, 2006. |
| | Country Weekend by EscadaI find this fragrance to be more of a male one. It's nice and refreshing though I'm disappointed at how linear it smells. It's like fizzy cinnamon and wood notes. It really does a good job of smelling like the country. 6th March, 2006. |
| | Escada Sport Feeling Free by EscadaVery refreshing and marine like, it really does smell like it's name. It almost smells like sophisticated soda pop. It's fizzy yet complicated and rich enough to be a wonderful perfume. However, I'ld only wear this scent whilst doing leisurely activities as this does seem to intensify the smell of B.O. 6th March, 2006. |
| | Sui Love by Anna SuiThe bottle is absolutely beautiful! Probably the nicest I have ever seen. It's a pretty stained glass butterfly with a golden lid. From the bottom it slowly fades to clear glass revealing the pink juice inside. However, the juice is a little too floral and heavy for me. It's okay but not fantastic. I would just buy this for the bottle. 6th March, 2006. |
 | Pleasures Exotic by Estée LauderThis smells just like a cheap, sweet tropical drink with a heavy floral background. It's very linear too in that the smell doesn't change at all. 5th March, 2006. |
| | Island Kiss by EscadaThis one smells similar to Rockin' Rio but it's a lighter version with a more prominent Mango top note. It's airy and fruity. I love this one however, the lasting power isn't great and the top notes don't last very long at all. 5th March, 2006. |
| | Summer Shakers Berry Crush by ImpulseI Love this stuff! It's a juicy cocktail of berries (raspberry and strawberry) with a strong mango scent, background citrus/lime layer and a light mint undertone. This is almost exactly how I think a lot of red berry scents should smell like. If only this could be turned into an Eau de Parfum form. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Summer Shakers Frangipani Fling by ImpulseSweet and juicy, I like this one. It smells just like sweetened grapefruit. If you smell hard enough you can detect red oranges and a little bit of floral frangipani in the background. It's simple and sweet- a gorgeous summer scent. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Cherish by GhostThis is beautifl. It's a rather strong floral mix and smells like a combination of flowers soaked in the rain and sunlight and the dry down smells of sweet damp Earth. It is rather deep and I appreciate it's complexity even though I've only been into fragrances for a few months and could be classed as a "beginner". 28th February, 2006. |
| | Ex'cla.ma'tion Star by CotyI would really like to give this a half thumbs up. At first, when this was first launched, I was pretty excited. The advertising campaigns marketed it as a scent which embodied hollywood star-style, glamour and confidence. However once I smelt this it was so musky, vanillary and subtle, it struck me as a shy girl fragrance (or a sy girl wanting to be more confident scent, maybe this is what the ads were aiming at?). Here I was expecting something wild, sparkly and maybe even fruity but what I got was the opposite. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Love at First Glow by J.Lo by Jennifer LopezThe mains things I can smell is chilled peach tea and roses. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Fantasy by Britney SpearsThis smelt so beautiful at the beginning. It was almost peachy and smelt of lychee but after 15 minutes it just made me sick when the middle notes kicked in. I couldn't wash it off quick enough. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Escada by EscadaThis smells just like fresh cucumber and sea salt with a hint of florals. It's a combination I'm not very keen on. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Flowerbomb by Viktor & RolfThis one makes me smile. It's container is shaped like a grenade which is clever because the scent is so strong it really does "explode" onto you. The bad points are it's an extrememly overpowering blend of florals, so overwhelming, it gives me headaches. It's also extremely expensive as a 50ml bottle costs £100 where I live and it's sold in limited locations (which could be a good thing...). The only good point for me is that it's long lasting and smells alright on my skin. 28th February, 2006. |
| | DKNY Be Delicious by Donna KaranStrangely this doesn't smell of apples to me. It just smells strange and generic, I was expecting an apple scent but the cucumber seems to dominate it all. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Le Jardin D'Amour by Eden ClassicsVery generic and floral. This scent is as old as I am! And by old I also mean out-dated. It seems to smell like a dozen other cheap scents in it's genre. The lasting power isn't great either. Please don't make the mistake of purchasing this as a deoderant like my relative did. It only enhances the smell of B.O. as she so pain stakingly found out. After being passed around, it landed with me and I kept it because I was 12, didn't know anything about perfume and the bottle was quite nice. This one is on my swap list. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Green Tea by Elizabeth ArdenThis one definately smells like it's name. It's just like Green Tea- fresh, light and slightly sour. Certainly a summer scent as it doesn't last long in winter (maximum of 3 hours). It's the best green tea scent out there but I personally find the aroma to be strange as I don't really like these scents. The god thing is this one seems to smell the same on everybody. 28th February, 2006. |
| | Incanto Dream by Salvatore FerragamoWOW! I love this one. It's a lovely fruity sweet scent that smells like apples. It's name should have "Delicious" in it. This can be compared to Escada's limited editions with the closest one being Island Kiss however I find this scent to be more sophisticated. Too bad it doesn't last long at all in cold weather, I really wish this came in a long lasting EDP form.. 25th February, 2006. |
| | Cheap and Chic I Love Love by MoschinoAt first I wasn't willing to try this out because of the bottle. It looked so tacky and plastic and the design was weird. But don't let that fool you, the juice inside smells wonderful. The top notes smell just like a mixture of grapefruit and lemon with a hint of orange. It's sweet and citrus, a combination which makes me feel so alive, awake and happy- literally the feeling I feel when I'm in love! It's name suits it well. 25th February, 2006. |
| | Pleasures Intense by Estée LauderThis smells just like rotting flowers. The top notes don't smell particularly pleasent- too sweet, too powdery, it gives me a headache. But if you wait for the top notes to evaporate then you're left with a rather ok to nice sweet but lighter version. Personally, I don't recommend this as I've only ever found one other person who remotely likes it. 25th February, 2006. |
| | Sentiment by EscadaThis one is extrememly sweet and romantic. The to notes consist of strong florals and an almost cotton candy like base. This makes me drowsy when worn in large quantities (i.e. when it's sprayed more then 4 times). I find myself liking the beautiful bottle more then the scent itself. 25th February, 2006. |
| | Princesse Muscat / Coeur de Raisin by Comptoir Sud PacifiqueI'ld like to give this half a thumbs up because it's only the dry down I like. One of the top notes here give me a headache. Apart from that one note, the top layer smells like a very sweet blend of mangoes, berries and grapes. But if you for this to evaporate then it starts smelling truely delicious! It becomes a little powdery, sweeter and fruiter as the grapes and berries become more prominant. You have to smell it for yourself. For me it's well worth the wait. 25th February, 2006. |
| | Euphoria by Calvin KleinAt first, because of all the hype, I was reluctant to try this scent out but once I spritzed it, it smelt wonderful! Fruity and different is the best word to describe this though the scent does border on smelling like rotten fruit. The dry down keeps getting better and better as the scent gets sweeter to me and to top it all off, the lasting power is great! This is certainly one to try. 25th February, 2006. |
| | Escada (original) by EscadaCertainly an evening scent or for special occasions. This scent is rather rich and strong and as it's an EDP the lasting power is great. However, I find the topnotes to this last for about 15 minutes, which is disappointing because those are the note I like most. The dry down is a lot gentler and all the way through it maintains that rich texture. Strangely, this one reminds me of Chanel No 5 14th February, 2006. |
| | Icø by ImpulseThis one smells so much like an immature version of Davidoff's Cool Water for women. By immature, I mean not quite refined, it's a version for the younger teen or girl. 12nd February, 2006. |
