    Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture

    I actually like this one. It's sweet, but soft.

    Narciso Rodriguez for Her by Narciso Rodriguez

    Not a fan. Starts off very strong, has a synthetic weird smell like an old fashion hair product---maybe dipity-do!

    Wicked Wahine by Royal Hawaiian Perfumes

    This is too funny~~~wow! Wicked Wahine, talk about a scent from my past, I loved this stuff! I bought this while on vacation in Florida, most likely from the Polynesian Village Resort at Disney; my family would vacation there every year so I was never without a bottle. This was my step up from the little orange ball of orange blossom that I'd get as a kid. I'd wear it all summer long. Definitley a beachy scent for me. I guess it was probably the musk and orange flower that drew me to this one. I remeber it was very sweet. I wore this into my teens and nobody else had it! (and it did make me feel wicked) I think it is still a very original scent, as I've smelled nothing like it since. A great youthful scent and great childhood memories for me. Oh and Rock-Head your review was spot on~~I can almost smell it!

    Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren

    A sharp alcohol beginning, fades to a fresh scent, with powdery under tones. I don't smell any of the friuty notes, I get more of the musk, and amber in the dry down. A youthful scent. The original Polo in the green bottle is still my favorite of the RL collection.

    Black Raspberry and Vanilla by Bath and Body Works

    A creamy black raspberry. Has a woodsy warm sweet scent as well. Over the weekend I had the opportunity to sample Trish ~Sexy No. 9. I would say these two scents are very similar, though Trish will cost you a bit more.

    Eau Parfumée au Thé Rouge by Bulgari

    I just don't know what to make of this one.Some days I like more than others. It has a very interesting scent, Fresh, Tea and Spicy. This can be worn as an casual everyday scent.

    Cosmopolitan Cocktail by Demeter Fragrance Library

    Got this one in a gift set. Nasty, awful smell. Washed it off I will never use it again. Come to think of it I'm not a huge fan of the real cosmo cocktail either (though it is better than the fragrance).

    Sugar Blossom by Fresh

    Sugar Blossom is one of the great scents from Fresh. On me it has sweet, warm tones of sugar and maybe a little musk. I tend to wear it more in the winter.

    Paco Rabanne pour Homme by Paco Rabanne

    This was a classic scent of the 80's. Great masculine vibe.

    Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin by Lolita Lempicka

    I got this as a sample for my husband when purchasing my botttle of Loita Lempicka. Au Masculin smells so much like the female version, I kept it for myself! Nice scent only slightly muskier. Lolita Lempicka is one of my favourite scents, I'm just not sure if this version would be too sweet for men. It hits me as a sexy woman scent. Two thumbs up for a female fragrance. Neutral for men's fragrance.

    Grape Leaf by Demeter Fragrance Library

    I like grape leaf it runs a close second to Ginger Ale. Refreshing and light, doesn't have a lot of staying power though.

    Ginger Ale by Demeter Fragrance Library

    My husband and I both love this ginger ale scent. It is one scent that I believe is truely unisex. I'm not quite sure if it reminds me of a true ginger ale. It has a fresh bubbly quality but something about it has a very distinguished old fashioned scent too. Anyway when ever we come across it we buy a bottle since ginger ale always seems to be the one sold out.

    Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood

    Sorry I bought this one, guess it was the packaging or the name that I had high hopes for. It has many of the notes that I am drawn to. However something is off. It's too strong ,smells old fashioned, (not in a good way) and a bit sour. Makes me want to wash it off. Staying power is fantastic ...it lasts forever!

    Moschino Couture! by Moschino

    A light powdery scent, it reminds me of a mix between Mariella and the original Tresor.

    Lolita Lempicka by Lolita Lempicka

    Lolita Limpicka will always have a place on my fragrance tray.I bought this when it first came out and have been hooked ever since. It has a very original scent, deep, musky, sweet. It's more of a nightime, "going out" scent for me. I get many compliments on it. The guys love it! The bottle is beautiful too!

    Ombre Rose L'Original by Jean-Charles Brosseau

    This is a beautiful light, powdery rose scent. I like it because it doesn't scream roses. It doesn't have that old grandmother rose scent that a lot of rose perfumes tend to have. It has a sophisticated, elegant side to it. Comes in a beatiful bottle.

    Very Irrésistible by Givenchy

    A very heavy scent, I don't get the smell of roses just a heavy musky powder scent. For me its not a daytime scent, I would only wear this at night. Overall not a bad scent, just nothing special. Very common.

    Organza by Givenchy

    Organza starts off very powdery, and strong. For me the rose scent stands out from begining to end, making it very much a sigular note on me. Tends to be very old fashioned. A mature fragrance. Reminds me of Boudoir but lighter and less offensive.

    Amarige by Givenchy

    Sweet, strong, sexy, mature scent. I agree with the comment that it has a unique leathery aspect to it. I like it, not one of my favorite, but my husband loves it on me.

    Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana

    When I smell this on other people I don't like it. Now it makes my stomach turn so I won't wear it anymore. And what's worse this is one of those scents that everyone is wearing. My husband hated it too, could never wear it around him, now I see why!

    Spring Flower by Creed

    I love, love, love Spring Flowers! Its fresh scent is very glamorous, and to me, somehow, very modern. Notes of peach, apple, melon, jasmine, rose, musk, and ambergris all blended so beautifully. Very different and distinct scent. I get so many compliments when I wear this ~ everyone wants to know what I'm wearing.

    J'Adore by Christian Dior

    A pretty floral scent, nothing different or daring. Reminds me of Tresor.

    Gardénia by Chanel

    I really love this one. It has such a crisp and clear, true scent of gardenia. Very elegant and fine.

    Folies Bergere by Bourjois

    I remember having a bottle of this in the 80's. At the time it was one of my favorite. I don't remember much about it except that it was a sweet heavy scent.
