This smells powdery, and doesn't wear off....I'm not a fan, I don't like smelling like a baby. A friend gave me a small little bottle of it....and I haven't made a dent in it.

I am trying to understand how, you guy's who voted thumbs up can handle the repugnant smell of Black Orchid. I tried it this past week becuase of the rave reviews I saw here, but when I sprayed it on, I thought the smell was putrid, my head began to hurt as well as my stomach, I tried to wash it off, didn't work, the scent stayed on the fingerprints that sprayed the toxic perfume onto my skin. If the drydown is supposed to be fabulous, I don't have the stomach to wait for it. The top notes were so repugnant that I felt sick. So if you are able to muster the time the top notes disappear to experience the supposed fabulous drydown kudos to you, I certainly don't have the stomache for it. Not brilliant at all.

Secret Obsession by Calvin Klein

I tried this one on yesterday, and I felt like fainting....it was horrible! At first I thought it was magnolia, then I read the notes and I think its the Jasmine that overpowers any other smell. It gave me such a headache. I didn't get any of the wonderful scents it promises...

Miracle Forever by Lancôme

I really like miracle forever, it smells soft and sensual. It is warm as it dreis down. But when you first apply it its a subdued scent thats has a little kick. I wouldn't say its sweet. I would not buy it again I would test something else, but I wouldn't say its bad.

Délices de Cartier by Cartier

OMG! I love this perfume, it is sweet and lucious at the same time. When I wear it, it makes me feels delectable. Even though it is very sweet, it always seemed very crisp not too rich. I don;t like sweet frarances because they remind me of chocolate cake when you eat too much its like you are overindulged...too sweet it becomes bitter. I kept waiting for this point in Delices but it was always crispy sweet. I loved it. Simply irresistible

Par Amour by Clarins

I don't know, I'm not good at identifying notes, but I can say that it smells delicious. It smells clean, like the scents of a garden you smell at night. A little tangy a tiny bit spicy, I absolutely love it!

Opium by Yves Saint Laurent

I like this perfume, it is a very sensual perfume and very sexy, but I do believe that this perfume wears you, you do not wear this perfume, I came to this realization when I was riding the bus this morning, a lady was wearing it, so I thought why is it so identifiable? It doesn't change with your chemistry, it doesn't become you. Its liek an accessory that you overpowers the rest of you..LOL there is my 2 cents

Dream Angels Heavenly by Victoria's Secret

I liked this one at first but then as it gets drier, I dislike the smell, I guess I love the top and middle notes, but I hate the vanilla in the fragrance. It is boring and I think that it is something a lot of women smell like it. I got it as a gift and it isn't very much like .5 oz or somehting....I would never buy it.

Cool Water Woman by Davidoff

I like how airy this perfume is. When I wear it, it is usually a sunny day and I am going out walking in the town with friends. It is defenitely a fun day perfume. I wouldn't wear it at night, at night it smells kind of synthetic. I have been complemented when I wear this perfume. I like how it smells fresh and reviving. I like the citrus adn sweet kind of scent. I hardly wear it becuase sometimes it hurts my nose as to how pugnant the fruit scent is. I defenitely have to be in the mood for it.
