Fragrance Reviews by shellygilbert

Doesn't everyone remember wearing this if you're of the right age? It was just so cool to have the pink juice with the lightning bolt in the bottle. I remember this being so darn sweet...Can't imagine myself ever wearing something like this again!

This fragrnace is very pretty, not at all what I expected out of the sporty looking bottle. The florals aren't too overpowering and this is just a nice fresh scent.

I bought this for my husband to wear on our wedding day. It is such a nice fragrance. Nice and woodsy when it dries down. I like to snuggle up next to him and take in a deep breath...This fragrance will always remind me of our early years.

I love this fragrance for men. It is very clean and nice. Its the kind of fragrance that makes you want to get closer to a man just to get a bigger whiff of what he has on. Can be overdone and then it becomes cloying and sickly sweet.

I got this from a boyfriend for Christmas. I felt so bad...Just a week before Christmas we had been shopping and he wanted me to smell this one and I said "Oh, yuck! I really don't like that at all". The gift had been under the tree for over a month...He was so crastfallen as I opened the gift. I wore it, just to show him that I appreciated his efforts, but this perfume was too bright and floral for me.

I bought this perfume on a whim...Really I just wanted the free gift that came with it. I only wore this twice after buying it. It was a little too "sporty" for me. Passed it along to my sister.

This perfume was really nice. Very warm and sparkly. Though it was nice, there was nothing really to make it stand out from all of the other perfumes that smell very similar to it. I bought a big bottle, but it soon made a new home at my sister's.

One of my friends gave me a HUGE bottle of this for Christmas. I didn't like it at first because the bottle isn't all that pretty, and I'm a little snobbish that way, but I've worn this a few times and its really grown on me.

I prefer this one much more than its "cold" counterpart. Hot was very warm and comfortable. Very relaxing, its something that I'd wear around the house when I wanted to just chill and have some down time.

I'm not sure what it is about this fragrance, but there's something in it that makes me want to grind my teeth when I smell it. I got this with my Amarige D'amour too...I'll have to cross reference the notes and see if they share any...That may be the secret ingredient that makes my mouth clench!

I had a coworker who wore this perfume and it was very nice. She always smelled clean and a little "nutty", though she didn't like that description. I didn't like this on me, but on others it is very nice.

I bought this after an all day sniffathon...I think that I was confusing this with another fragrance that I'd sampled because it didn't smell a thing like I thought when I got it home. Enen thought it wasn't what I thought I was buying I liked it anyway. It was crisp and clean smelling. The staying power was very nice on me. I used the lotion more than the perfume though. It was a way to get the clean fragrance without overpowering my nose.

This is once again, another disappointment from Vera Wang. Its not too different from the regular vera wang in that it has no staying power and that its uber floral. Again, a pretty bottle, but you pay way too much just for a decoration for your dressing table.

This was a total disappointment for me. I read that it was THE fragrance for weddings, so I bought it, and it has NO staying power whatsoever. Its so overpriced that its silly. The bottle is pretty, so I guess there's one good thing about it.

This is one of those perfumes that everyone was wearing at one time or another, kind of like BBW sun ripened raspberry. I really like the perfume, but I find that it is hard to apply because it is way to easy to put on too much.

Victoria was in a class all its own, and now all of the Victoria lovers are left to pick up the few remaining bottles at really inflated prices and move on with our lives...This was a beautiful scent, and like the review before me, I've never found anything even remotely close.

Now THIS is what sexy smells like! I love this fragrance. Its warm and sensual, but it is also clean and fresh. Its a nice blend, not too much.

Halo is the only fragrance of the Dream Angels Collection that I care for. I love the staying power of this scent. I can sray it on in the morning and it goes strong all day long. I love smelling it on my jackets and sweaters long after I've taken them off.

I see that most people are saying that this perfume is sweet on them, but I don't get that at all. This is a very warm fragrance with lots of vanilla and amber. Love the patchouli in this one.

I got a sample of this at a local shop and instantly fell in love! This is the best smelling perfume! Its definetly a grown up perfume, not at all like the fruit punch-y fragrances that I'm used to from Escada. This will certainly be on my "buy a bottle" list.

I bought this over the Christmas holiday for myself, I guess as a gift for making sure that everyone else had a gift! I love this version of Mania. I had been smelling it on a friend of mine and she would tell me that it was Mania and I could never believe her because I still had the original black top/frosted bottle Mania. I'm so glad that I finally had her show me the bottle. I'm loving this beautiful fragrance. It makes me feel so pretty.

Liked this fragrance alright...It had some sort of note in it that made me smell stale, which is a big NO NO...You can't make mommy smell bad and expect to stay in the starting line-up. I much prefer the new mania to this one.

My mom wore this when I was younger. I love to smell this and be taken back to those memories. Nice perfume, the bottle is ugly though.

I get lots of compliments on this one. Its pretty and soft. I loved the packaging, still have the pretty box that it came in.

was worn by my friend's mother in my early years. I equate this smell to memories of growing up. Really like to revist there.

This is a very nice scent that can be worn every day. I bought a bottle of this and loved every drop of it.

My best friend wore this in high school. Smelling this brings up so many fun memories. Though I'd never wear this, I'm kind of glad that others do, just so that I can be transported back to those times.

WHY WHY WHY? What was wrong with the old Burberry? This one smells medicinal on me.

This was another of my no sniffers off of ebay...Got it at a great price, and loved it! But, like all of my other great perfmes...I just have too many to ever use them all up, so this one with to live with my sister.

Okay, I'm confused...I've ALWAYS smelled peaches when I wear Burberry, but reading the noted I see that there are no darn peaches in this fragrance. Maybe my nose is playing tricks on me? Anyway, this is one of my top 10. Love it.

Sniffed Boucheron at a shop one day and have been dying to have a bottle of it ever since. I don't get "old lady" from this fragrance at all. The only thing that I smell is refined, beautiful, and class.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. Its the only perfume thats gone straight from the magazine strip to my perfume collection in less than a day. It is my favorite perfume for winter nights out. Heck, its my facorite perfume for anytime period. Just picking up the bottle and taking a whiff makes me smile.

I have this perfume only because it came in a GWP, but I'm SO glad that I do. I love it. Its not to spicy or sweet, its just right. Wouldn't you know, I find one that I really like and they DC it?

I like this one much better than the White Collection

This perfume was nice, the berry fragrance was what I liked most. It was sparkly, though not too different from all the others of the time.

This was a Mother's Day gift to me. I love most of Givenchy's perfumes, so they knew right where to get me! I wanted to fall in love with this thoughtful gift, but the perfume was a little too bright(?) for me. I didn't like the white tea smell.

THis is very nice. I tried it when I rec'd it in a free GWP at Christmas. It is a little too masculine smelling for my taste, so I usually pair it with some floral lotion or body spray from BBW or VS.

I bought this unsniffed on ebay because the deal was GREAT (HAHA)! I see now why no one was bidding on it. This perfume was a watered down baby powder on me. Nothing nice, warm, sultry, or anything that you'd expect from an oriental. My grandmother did like it though, so it found a nice home.

I really like this perfume. Have a mini bottle and am lemming a big one. I'm sure my husband will love to hear that!

Bought this because the lady who used the copy machine close to my desk always smelled so good and this is what she wore. The bottle was pretty, though the top never fit quite right. I think I wore this perfume twice, it never really did anything special for me.

Incognito was another of my high school fragrances. I guess anything from Cover Girl/Wal-Mart was! Incognito was nice, though I distictly remember that I always said it smelled like something "watered down".

I had many bottles of this in middle and high school...Didn't we all, I mean hey, it came with the covergirl holiday giftsets! I loved this fragrance. I think that we all bathed in it from time to time, but it was SOOOO much nicer to smell than the White Diamonds that the girl who sat next to me in Geometry wore! I think that it smells like a younger, less expensive version of Boucheron.

I avoided this fragrance at all costs when it was first introduced, only because everyone else was wearing it and I want to be unique. It wasn't until a few years later that I was at a co-workers house that I finally spritzed some on myself and fell in love...For a minute! Its very nice, but a little too fruity for me.

I usually don't like fragrances with patchouli in them, but this one is my favorite! I want this one back. I refer to this perfume as "sex in a bottle". Its definetly one that will get you attention.

I love this perfume! I bought a used bottle with a TINY amount left in it off of ebay, and now that it is all gone I need more...This perfume addiction is a monster!

I really like this one by Chanel, though it falls third in my likes...With Mdmslle 1st, Allure 2nd, and this third.

Love this scent in the EDP, the EDT smelled a little to sharp or pungent on me. Makes me feel like a lady.

I love this fragrance. It was mentioned in a book that I was reading, so I bought it, unsniffed from ebay, and am I ever glad that I did. I've loved this one from the very first day that it came to me.

Love this fragrance...I'm noticing a trend...All of the ones that I love have all thumbs down reviews! Oh well, I guess you have to give me cedit for being an individual and loving what works for me.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this scent! This is one of the only perfumes that I've actually ever used a bottle of! The only other was Mackie. I hope that this one stays around forever!

Even though I was in the age range this was geared to, it was just too young for me. It wasn't too bad, just not something that I'd want to wear. My sis in law loves it though, so my bottle got a good home.

This perfume got many compliments from others. I love the pretty bottle, and really liked the perfume myself, but I equate this scent to some bad memories and can't wear it anymore.

I liked this pretty well when I bought it, but with all of the perfumes that I own, it didn't have anything that made it jump out, so it didn't get used much. I loved the pink juice, thats a little unique, and was pretty on my dresser.

This fragrance is very fresh and airy. Its a nice marine scent. I wore it in my younger years, and my sister still wears it. It had very good staying power on me. It has that just out of the shower dry down that I just love.

This smells so good on EVERYONE else! I just can't get it to work on me, and lordy I've tried many many times. All I get is a burned pepper-sugar smell.

This smelled SO YUMMY on one of my friends...I loved sniffing it when I was walking past her dresser, it was so nice. But, of course, as always goes, when I buy something for myself it never works out well. It smelled very heavy and wasn't nice at all.

I wanted to love this perfume, but it smelled just like every other perfume out there. Nothing to make it stand out, but nothing to make it a true stinker either...Its just not one to wear if you want to be noticed.

I bought this perfume hoping that I'd be able to wear it, since I have tried for years to wear Pleasures with no luck at all...And still got nothing...For some reason all I get is a peppery burned sugar dry down on any pleasures product.

Didn't like this one at all when I first tried it many years ago, but am revisting due to a GWP and I don't see what was so darn unlikeable before. Husband is loving it too.

This scent was very clean and simple. Loved it once upon a time...

This one was quite lemony/soapy, but very fresh and clean. It started me on my love for fresh "dryer sheet" smells!

I was disappointed with this perfume. I like Happy and I adore Happy Heart, so when I saw a rollerball giftset with those two, plus Happy To Be, on sale I had to have it. I figured that Happy To Be would be another lovely floral fragrance, but was disappointed to sniff and get a slightly masculine fragrance. Oh well, they can't all smell like a million , right?

This was once upon a time a perfume that was overused by the girl sitting next to me in chemistry class. This was cloying, sweet, and powdery on her, but, to be honest, I did try it on myself, and even though it was still just as anoying, I didn't get any of the powdery residual.

My sister and I were both fans of this duo. She loved Windswept and I was the Earthfire girl. We both became perfume addicts as soon as we were old enough to pay for our own avon orders. I remember the Earthfire being so warm and comforting, it was one of my favorite cool weather fragrances.

Summerset...I can see the bottle in my mind, it was a tall, flat, oval shape with an elastic tag of summerish flowers hanging over its top. I loved this perfume! It was my favorite in high school. I wish that I could smell it now, just to be able to conjure up those memories.

This scent will always be special to me...It was worn by my brother's fiance and boy did she ever smell good! She was killed in an accident at the age of 17.

This is my HG fragrance. I bought this because my favorite aunt wore it when I was younger, and I've loved it since my first spray at 16...
