Dior Homme Intense by Christian Dior, 2007

I gave it 3 stars just for longevity and projection (which is amazing), this thing lasts forever.. Sprayed it a few times/several days and just couldn't understand the hype behind it. I like...

Sel De Vetiver by Different Company, 2006

Sel de Vetiver opens with a grapefruit note that is sweet, watery, and marked by an odd salty quality that makes it completely unique. If that's all the scent did, and it just lasted like that...

I was pleasantly surprised with the fragrance when I compared it to Allure Homme Sport. I think it beat AHS by a lot and was an easy purchase at the mall. I'm a big fan of tonka bean though so...

I love the smell of Burberry's London (for men), and if I smelt something like that on my girlfriend it would make me completely melt. But I would much prefer to buy a fragrance for her that is marketed towards women, so if anyone knows of a woman's fragrance with a similar smell to Burberry London please let me know

I've never tried Burberry London for Men, but Burberry makes a London for women (known simply as Burberry London) which is a very sweet (almost candy-ish) floral. I sniffed it last week at the mall, and I would describe it as a sort of mixture between roses and cotton candy. I didn't love it, but it was a unique take on both the standard floral and the standard sugary perfumes.

What kind of perfume does she have? Maybe you want to buy her something, but that would not be to her liking. A good starting point would be to know what she likes to wear, then you can look for something similar, but to your liking too.
