Fragrance Reviews by lavenderose

I tried this perfume and it was UNREMARKABLE. I think that we should all stop giving any money or precious attention to Miss Hilton. What a waste of time for an individual utterly lacking in any discernable talent but has heaps of moolah to hire marketing personnel. I find celebrity fragrance PATHETIC!

I like this fragrance but not enough to pay money to purchase it (this is beginning to sound like the stody of my life). Anyway I think I like Miracle So Magic a little better.

I guess the main reason is because this scent doesn't seem very remarkable on the whole.

I have a miniature of this perfume but I absolutely hate the scent. I wonder if I will ever 'age' into it, as in like it when I am in my 50s. I sure hope not!

I loved this scent and I still have about 1/3 of the bottle I bought way back when it was first released. I know that they often say you can't keep perfume beyond a certain number of years but I reckon this perfume is the same even now. It's probably the alcohol in it that has preserved it so well. This is a rare perfume where I enjoy the Jasmine notes.

I love this scent. It's extremely wearable and I feel gorgeous in it no matter what occasion I choose to wear it. I think it lasts quite well through the day as well. Excellent classic sophisticated choice!

There are some perfumes where I only only need ONE whiff and I recoil because it seems like I am smelling a roomful of musty elderly ladies who are having some 50 year high school reunion.

This is definitely one of those perfumes along with many in the famous Chanel line. This perfume is way too strong and overpowering. Absolute turn off!

I bought this perfume in a gift set when there was a serious discount in the local department store. I hate Red Door although I am not sure if I like Red Door Revealed completely either. I ended up giving it to a treasured friend. I hope she is enjoying it.

Gorgeous fragrance. I love the bottle too, which is always a bonus.

I adore this scent! It's just the right mix of floral and musk.

But alas, my wallet doth protest. It'd be but a dream for me for the moment. Then again, I have much better things to be luting for.

My local department store was heavily promoting this fragrance since its release. I think that it's way too fruity for my taste.

P/s: the advertisement in magazines is rather corny because it has J Lo posing in a beautiful gown with her harden nipple prominently displayed. I certainly did not think that this was very tasteful.

Let's just say that I had higher expectations from SJP as I am a HUGE fan of SATC. This fragrance was undeinably pleasant but certainly unremarkable as well.

While I adore Vera Wang's self-titled fragrance, I hated this when I smelt it in store. I like florals but I don't know what exactly it was about this fragrance that turned me off so much. Oh well. Such is life. Sometimes I think that it's better that I don't like it because it means that I get to spend the money on other more important things. I have way too many perfumes as it is!

p/s: I found the advertising for this perfume way too corny.

I tried this out in the store a few weeks ago. Man, I absolutely loved it. It was just the right amount of floral for my taste. I wonder if it's the Bulgarian Rose in the formulation. Enchante!

I tried this perfume in the department store today. It's pleasant enough, but certainly doesn't light my fire.

I keep spraying this on myself whenever I go into my favourite department store. I go to cheap perfume outlets and enquire about the price of this perfume. Hence, I have never bought it. I think my hesitation comes from the overly powerful jasmin scent in the perfume. Of course, the perfume is way too expensive for my budget. It's not so much that I cannot afford it, but rather that I prefer spending my money on the things that I really like 100%. Beyond Paradise just hasn't seemed to 'get' me at the right time/price. I think my wallet's happy about that though!

This was the first perfume that I ever bought for myself. It was about $100 for 100ml but I really liked it at the time. I remember that the bottle was some kind of limited edition and was completely plated in some kind of silver coating.

Now I just think it's way too in-your-face floral and don't use it any more.

It was a good ride while it lasted. I ended up taking years to use the perfume and finally finished the bottle when it's silver coating was peeling off.

Everytime I smell this perfume, I gag. It is way too sweet for my taste. I know that some uber celebrities adore it though, but I'm sticking to the more classy, sophisticated scents! That is the way that I buy clothes too, so at least I'm being a little consistent!

I had a girlfriend in high school who ADORED this scent. I think that it is way too overpowering, sweet and musky for my task. Definitely YUCK!

I found this fragrance in the department store today and only got it because a friend could get a seriously ridiculous discount on it and she wanted to buy it for me as a gift.

It is very fruity (which is generally not a preference of mine) but I do like how it's not as verwhelming/overpowering as the original 'Angel' scent.

The bottle isn't too original (think Paris Hilton's perfume) with a elongated star etched into the glass. The fragrance itself is pink, so if you're into pink colour and fruity, this might be the fragrance for you!

I am not normally a fan of fruity or sweet scents because I prefer floral scents. However, Cassis Rose has managed to balance the floral, fruity and sweet scents rather well. I do find it pricy for a Body Shop product. In Australia, it is retailing at A$24.95 for a 30ml bottle. I know that Body Shop premises its prices on cummunity/fair trade, I am not sure if I believe that their goods are worth the prices that are charged.

I bought this in the duty free store in July. I am not normally one to go for a perfume because I am enamoured with the bottle design. I do certainly appreciate a beautiful bottle and a gorgeous fragrance living in harmony.

Lovely Prism's bottle definitely befits it's name. It's pink liquid swirling around in a 3 dimensional prism is a sight to behold and enjoy. Particularly when the sun shines into my bedroom and its rays grace the beautiful little square bottle. The fragrance itself is also lush and floral. Putting it on makes me feel like a post-modern 'princess'! I definitely high commend this gorgeous scent!!

I have owned Fith Avenue (Elizabeth Arden) for a few years and have always found that fresh, floral and pretty.

When I first sniffed Fifth Avenue after 5 in the department store, I really adored it too. It's a deeper, darker and more sensous fragrance. The 'After five' tag certainly lives up to its name!
