Fragrance Reviews by Princess_Jime

Paris Hilton gave me a rash.

The perfume that is...ahahahahaha... no really, it never happened to me before, an allergic reaction. Anyway, that's alright though because this fragrance was NOT to my taste, cloyingly sweet and too musky.

The lighter version of Rubylips, it's sweet, kind of naughty, goes on very sheer on the skin, and it's fun, it doesn't take itself very seriously. I like it but I don't die for it, there is a certain commoness to it that isn't my cup of tea, otherwise, a perfectly perfect scent perfect for sassy rubylipped girls.

A timeless classic, with orange blossom, rosewood and jasmine, blended with notes of honeysuckle, sandalwood and vetiver. It is sublime, perfect, elegant, just like Carolina herself. I used it when I was a teenager, it made me feel grown up and sophisticated, beautiful and unique.

Some of the notes are: lavender, passionflower and bergamot; sandalwood, amber and freesia. It's refreshing, casual, but has a personality of its own, it's like that cool girl you met while summer vacationing and you're never going to forget, she's free-spirited, beautiful, and somehow makes you think of water fairies.

With a blend of lotus, iris, narcisse, and jasmine floral notes with an undertone of sandalwood, vetiver and musk, this perfume is one of the best feminine scents I've ever had, even though I bought it as a teenager and have growned out of that "state of mind" (therefore I don't use it as often). I thank God I still have my bottle, even though ii's half way gone, and now that True Love has been discontinued I treasure it even more.

I'm always on the lookout for good fragrances that smell like green tea, never finding one that would satisfy my crave. This one (even though the green tea note is just one of many) is a good fragrance, lovely and perfect, fantastic for everyday use. It's so good that everytime I wear it, say on the bus, and there's no seats so I end up standing, someone kindly gives me their seat, aahhhh... either there's still some gentlemen (and women, wink!) left in the world, or it's the power o a good perfume.

I bought this one "duty free" just before going on a trip to Chile thinking that I wouldn't be able to use it 'cause it was winter time there; too light for winter, I thought. I was wrong, hehe, it turned out to be perfect, it put my senses at ease at a time where I needed it, and cuddled me to sleep under the piles of covers every night. Yes, I had to spray it all over me and my clothes, but it's alright, the lasting power was good. Now that I'm back home (at 30·C) I use less, but it's still as good, sweet and fresh, relaxing but not baby-powdery.

If you live in warm climates (like I do= venezuela) you can never be thankful enough for the amount of light, clean, refreshing perfume availability in the market, specially considering that mayor houses only sell those kinds of scent in other countries' summertime. Having said that, I love this new Escada:
Top notes: bergamot, black currant,leafy greens, the cucumber is although almost unperceptible appreciated, and italian lemon.
Middle notes: petals of magnolia, jasmine, muguet, rose, and orange blossom.
Base notes: amber, musk, nectarine, vanilla, and patchouli.
When I wear this perfume, say midday, on a busy street, on the beach, or at home, I (and the people around me) feel light and airy, just what you need to ease the difficulties of everyday life.

I owned this, I gave it away, so...why do you give it a thumbs up? you ask, very simple: on me this smelled too intense, über-sweet and floral, couldn't stand it. On my mum, it smells like heaven, it suits her, her body chemistry gives it all the base it lacks, musk and powder, and it doesn't overtake her or the space around her, which in my book is a plus. So there you go.

This scent has been a staple in my collection for a number of years now, one of the best, classical, roses I've ever smelled. But the staying power is not that great in my skin, therefore, I've developed the habit of spraying my bed with it before going to sleep, sweet dreams are made of this!

Top notes: violet, black currant and rose. Middle notes: geranium, ylang-ylang and sandalwood. Base notes: vetiver, oakmoss and cedarwood.
I love this fragrance, only because, of all things, in my skin it turns to be one of the best tea-oriented ones I've ever used (I smell like a lovely complicated earl grey fresh in the morning). But as you can see, no tea of any kind is supposedly part of the notes. Maybe it's the combination of black currant and oakmoss... who knows. I encourage you to try it.

Lovely scent, perfect to wear on the beach. I bought this one mainly because of the review in one of those airplane magazines, first time I buy without sampling it first, the flight attendant had only one left (it apparently sold like hot cakes) and I only got to smell this perfume when I got home. To my delight, it turned out to be one of the best fragrances in my collection.

If you like raspberries, this one is for you. Don´t be fooled by the "for little girls" things, this fragrance is fresh and sweet, but not overly so, i`m 28 and i love it.
