    Magnifique by Lancôme

    This definitely smells more of vaguely floral raspberry candy than the rose/wood combo that the sample card lists. This reminds me a bit of Kenzo's Amour Indian Holi, which is a much more interesting and pleasant take on a similar combination of elements.

    Euphoria by Calvin Klein

    For some reason, this is mostly wood , vetiver, and amber on me plus the orchid and something 'powdery,' which I find cloying (the violet?). Can't smell the fruit at all. This has elements of Youth Dew and Angel, both of which I like. However, this gives me a headache, even in small doses.

    Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune by Guerlain

    All of the elements of this are nice... the grapefruit is citrusy, (though not as sharp as I like), and the vanilla and patchouli are both present, pleasant, and accounted for. I love grapefruit/citrus, vanilla, and patchouli, separately and in MOST combinations, but do not enjoy the combination of grapefrut and patchouli together on my skin. The the long middle portion of Pamplelune smells like a lighter version of Angel's vanilla/patchouli sweetness, but without the overwhelming qualities that makes people love it or hate it, so it might be a nice lighter alternative to it.

    Chocolovers by Aquolina

    Smells very similar to Pink Sugar, and whether you love it or hate it, you will more than likely feel similar about Chocolovers.

    This does not smell of chocolate, but it does smell of things that are often paired with chocolate. The hazelnut/vanilla combo dominates on me, and that's probably the chocolatey-ness that people are getting from this... it does smell quite a bit like Nutella (hazelnut chocolate spread.)
