Matthew Williamson by Matthew Williamson

I sort of have a love hate with MW. Reading the notes I feel like this should be for me. I'm always looking for something tropical, lush and exotic. Some nights I think this smells really attractive and exotic. I have had a couple of comments from guys saying I smelled really good. But other times I can't wear it. There are just so many notes and so much going on, with flowers and cinnamon. I love white lush tropical flowers, but in this one the floral is more synthetic. It lasts forever and is really strong. I can see my mom's really loud friend wearing this one. Maybe not for a girl in her 20s. Sometimes smells too department store, and that's not what I'm looking for. Going to try to swap this is I figure out how. I bought this in London when it came out, you can even find it on Boots there.

Coquette Tropique by Monyette Paris

A fun, sweet tropical oil, I love it! At first it might smell a little cheap like an air freshener, but since it's an oil, give it time to melt into your skin and it's the best. Tropical white floral and fruity (like white flowers, peach and vanilla), and without a coconut note that is found in a lot of tropical oils. Boys always comment on this one. It doesn't smell as good to me in the winter. I think it's because it's too cold in Canada and the oil never really melts into my skin. This is a flirty scent for girls maybe under 25ish. Lasts all day.

Shanghai Butterfly by Nanette Lepore

I like the smell of this, similar to Light Blue, yes, but not as strong and without the impact. I had Light Blue a few years ago and loved it. I put this on and the smell is so faint. I'm pretty sure people can't smell anything on me. I will try to put this up for market when that wardrobe option becomes available.

Miss Danielle by Ebba

This is a lush tropical white flower perfume. I like how it doesn't have a lot of notes in it, so it smells pure, not like some department store perfumes with 20 synthetic notes in them. This perfume takes a little while to set on your skin because it's an oil. After a while it's really pretty, pikaki that smells clean almost soapy. I don't think I could wear this often, like as a signature scent, but it would be nice for going out in the summer. Good lasting power.

Monyette Paris by Monyette Paris

This is really beautiful, and is a fragrance I wouldn't mind smelling of. This is a long lasting oil that smells pretty realistic, not synthetic. It's floral, smooth, tropical and a little dark and exotic sexy. I think I would love it except for the suntan oil aspect, I guess from the coconut. Great lasting power. I love Coquette Tropique which is really fruity, flirty, sweet, and fun!
Note- I have this natural Monoi de Tahiti oil that I got on ebay really cheap. I put some in my bath and can put it on my body to get a great scent. And the smell is pretty much the same as Monyette.

Stella by Stella McCartney

I usually don't like rose, but I love Stella. When it dries it has such a nice earthy and organic smell, and is still really pretty and not boring like a typical rose perfume for an old lady maybe. Lasting power is really good.

Éclat d'Arpège by Lanvin

This is a great perfume! Sparkling. My friend said it smells like roses. I can understand how some say it is similar to light blue, but this is more mature and just better. I feel confident when I wear this. All the girls wear this perfume in Korea, that's one reason I got it, to remind me of when I lived there. I feel this works in any season for just about any occasion. There is almost something like a man's cologne in it that makes it not typically girly and boring. The lasting power is great and I can always smell it on my clothes.
