 | Thé Vert / Green Tea by L'OccitaneOn me this is a sharp and penetrating, clean, aromatic. Clear, refreshing, perfect for a hot, sultry day. Happily not sweet. Much stronger and more long lasting than the Bulgari tea range which all fade after half an hour. Just bought my third bottle. Its difficult to imagine a summer without it. 15th September, 2010. |
 | Eau Fraîche by BulgariThis has a hint of a tea note with ginger beer home brew in an oak barrel. Quite a perplexing scent if you haven't figured it out in about 6 minutes too late because it's gone you have to wait until the next time you put it on to try and analyse the notes. Any talcum powder lasts longer than this. 28th August, 2010. |
| | Lizsport by Liz ClaiborneThe very piercing and irritating first smell takes ages to soften. I wear this perfume for the wrong reason - to get rid of it - it's clean, brisk and Yes it is good for sport - it is pungent enough to mask the sweat. After 2 years I am very pleased to see there's only a few drops left it's going going gone. 28th August, 2010. |
| | Intuition by Estée LauderMy bottle reads "INTUITION Summer In Bloom". It's minty/musky/musty/soapy/very boring. It's been sitting there for 3 years. IDEA - I will use it up as a toilet spray. 28th August, 2010. |
| | Daisy by Marc JacobsI was brought on up on lucerne farm and this is the same smell as the hay shed. Hay. Not sweet, new-mown hay. Dried hay. Sometimes, when just having put it on, wet cardboard. It's light and blows away in the wind. Gorgeous bottle though. To me, a perfume should be more than a light smell of hay. I've tried this about 10 times now it's the same every time. My friend's daughter loves it. 13rd June, 2010. (Last Edited: 28th August, 2010.) |
| | Parfum d'Été by KenzoI just can't get past the first 10 min.s of brash, screaming discord, to get to what I smell as mandarin - Not a comforting, powdery Champs Elysses type mandarin but a sourer mandarin. I bought Parfumd'Ete having just fell in love with Flower. Since then I have gone through 3 bottles of Flower (plus given bottles to girlfriends) but I just can't bring myself to use this one. The ridiculous bottle takes up far to much space. 13rd June, 2010. |
| | Voile de Jasmin by Bulgariweak, watery, this very light and nothing fragrance doesn't even last the trip to the office. My first Bulgari and very disappointing. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | Fantasy by Britney SpearsI smelt this on a girl in the bank and asked her what her perfume was. Being a bit hesitant about the name I tried it 3 or 4 times before I bought it. Surprisingly it has become one of my favourite day scents - a brisk flattering fruity floral with a definite fresh pick me up which lasts on me 4-5 hours. No change in the dry-down, just fades away. Sweet, fun, easy and uncomplicated. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | Aqua Allegoria Winter Delice by GuerlainI've tried to like this but I can't weara it at all. I will take the reviewers' advice and try it out as a homespray. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | Champs-Elysées by GuerlainIt's just okay. Classic and refined also can be boring and unadventourus. To me its just a "perfrume" smell with nothing special. I gave mine away to someone who liked it better than I did. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | April Violets by YardleyThis lovely scent indeed smells of fresh violets. Fresher and not as complicated as Violetta di Parma by Borsari which is more sublte, layered as it is with rose, orris and jasmine. Great for after a shower before bed when some other fragrances like Baby Doll are too sweet, the fruity florals are not what you want. Sometimes I spritz the sheets to lie in violent violet. Bliss. Compared to Bulgari's Viole de Jasmine, the scent is clean, strong and lasts. Worth very much more than its modest price tag suggests. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | FlowerbyKenzo by KenzoI have the EDP in the clear glass bottle with the poppy. That was scintillating enough to make me buy the parfum in hte red metal bottle which is divine. I love violets. I can't see a future without these perfumes, or one of them, in it. Both are more advertourous than Borsari's Violetta di Palma - the EDP more suggestive and playful, the parfum more sultry. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | By Woman by Dolce & GabbanaSmokin' black rubber.. An incredibly sultry powerful perfume quite capable of staying 10 hours but becoming simmeringly sexier and sweetly smokier. Strongly animalistic in a leopard-tiger-lioness way. I don't wear it very often,like Shalimar, but when I do I am infused with its power and optimism. . 2nd August, 2008. |
| | Diesel Green Feminine by DieselNo No No. Don't do it.They discontinued it for a reason. Couldn't be that they intended this for a perfume. Perhaps I could use it to spray on cockroaches (as the bottle suggests). Another very good reason for never buying a scent before trying it on my skin. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | Tendre Poison by Christian DiorI bought my bottle on ebay, perserved with it for a few months and threw it out thinking it must have been stale. Last week I saw it in a pharmacy and tried it again. Sadly it was just as vile. I see other reviewers love it, which is inexplicable to me.. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | Madness by ChopardYou'd have to be bloody mad to buy it if you smelt it first. I took mine to work, offered it to anyone who wanted it. No-one did. On me it smelt like a mixture of crushed tomato leaves and cough medicine. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | Violetta di Parma by BorsariDivine. Violet is one of the best smells in the universe. Borsari's is a more complicated fragrance than Yardley's April Violets which is more one-dimensional and pure (and, for the price, a fantastic violet perfrume).. Borsari's is subtle, smooth but strong and soft - it must be the rose, jasmine and orris gives the powdery overlay.. But it is predominatly violet and you can smell the violet and its an absolutely gorgeous perfume and, unlike Bulgari's Viole de Jasmine, it lasts and lasts. 2nd August, 2008. |
| | Fleurs d'Oranger by L'OccitaneBitter orange. Clean sharp fresh. goes with white suited professional in summer. Love this. 25th August, 2006. |
| | Blonde by VersaceEssence of stink beetle. sorry. I really wanted to like this çause I love the smell of fresh tuberose. Smells petro-chemical on me. 25th August, 2006. |
| | Green Tea by L'OccitaneLove this but my sister keeps taking my supplies. Its the only perfume she wears. Bitter not sweet, clean, fresh professional smell. Stronger than Bulgari's Au The Vert. 24th August, 2006. |
| | Incanto Dream by Salvatore FerragamoLOVE this. My new favourite. Fresh, sparkling, dreamy. Fuzzy peach and just gourgeous. My daughter took it. I have to get more. 24th August, 2006. |
| | Sensi by Giorgio ArmaniI can't do Sensi. The lime (I can smell gineger in there too) is very harsh and overpowering. I had to give it to my son's girlfriend, who loves it. 24th August, 2006. |
