As it was my birthday recently I knew to expect mainly perfumes for presents, as I’d been told by family and friends what I would be getting. One present I was particularly impressed with was from my husband which was a bottle of YSL Cinema.
I have tested this scent …

Emporio Armani Diamonds,is a top of the line perfume. You don’t get much better than this in my opinion. This scent is beautiful! This perfume is in my top favorite scents. It is unique and amazing. This is a nice scent for days when you want to smell incredibly …

During the short time that I’ve been chatting with my friend Emy at the dressing room while I had wardrobe change, she got her perfume from her Burberry bag and while spraying it, I was so amazed of how it smelled. I then asked for the name. The appearance …

Tresor by Lancome is one perfume that has never left my collection for years. Tresor is a sure head-turner as its scent can catch people’s attention. It has a good reputation for me and is one perfume that I will recommend to women, young and old alike. …

To me, if the love did have a smell, it would smell exactly like this fragrance! The blackberry, vanilla and musk notes are what really stand out to me. This perfume is a little bit on the sweet side, but not too sweet like a syrupy or sugary way. …

This was my first ever perfume and perhaps the one I loved the most by Givenchy. This perfume was introduced in the year 2003 as a milder variant of the deeper darker and sensual classic Amarige perfume by Givenchy.
Even though I love darker and more sensual perfumes …

Lily of the Valley by Crabtree and Evelyn is an 10-year old scent but I still find it a great scent to use. It was released in 1999 but after I have smelled, used and tried it, I am still impressed with its composition and pureness. It is always good …

Believe it or not, the first thing that I noticed about the perfume was the bottle. Usually, I don’t let the appearance of a perfume affect or influence me when I am looking to buy a new perfume. However, when I was at the cosmetics counter at a big …

It seems that the Noughties are a decade of the stridently invasive in many ways. The music can be loud and intrusive. The opinions of people are increasingly intolerant of anything except the politically —˜correct’ viewpoint and anything which diverges from that is thoroughly disapproved of. I feel that …

A few years ago I was bought the original scent by Agent Provocateur and was quite impressed with it as it’s not the sort of perfume I would have automatically chosen for myself. Based on the fact that I did like the original, I decided to treat myself to …

One scent that reminds me of my philosophy with non-traditional male scents is Hynose Homme Cologne. I have been confused lately and somewhat amazed with the various kinds of perfume that arrived at home but I felt nostalgic with my signature scents. Hypnose Homme made the rekindle the past.
This …

This is an exquisite perfume. Fred Hayman Touch, is a timeless scent that gets me compliments no matter where I wear it. This scent is good to have on when I want to smell all girlie and sweet. I think this is a very nice scent for any age …

I think L for Women by Lolita Lempicka is a wonderful blend of orange, cinnamon, musk and sandalwood. I can detect each of these scents separately and the fruity and musky scent is never too sweet or too strong. Actually, this perfume reminds a lot of some …

This was like France meets Greece perfume. Lancome being based in Paris and Cyclades, a group of islands in Greece. The house of Lancome made up this dream inspiration from the Mediterranean seas. This is one of those which uniquely displays ambiguous artistry in both the concept and its …

I have been using this cologne, Ralph Lauren aftershave, for over ten years now. Of all the aftershaves that I have tried I think this is the best. It jives with my body chemistry as if the cologne is inside my body. I smell as if …

This fragrance is like head to head with Far Away. They almost match the same scent, but Blue is subdued, cool, and refreshing. It has a simple scent that doesn’t easily fade and you don’t even need to wear it over and over again within 24 hours. I prefer …

I was not a big fan of the original Poison perfume at all. I was almost afraid to try this one , but this version surprised me by smelling really good. It is strong and long lasting too. I think that this is a great scent for any occasion. …

My father gave my sister and I as a gift a set of Estee Lauder travel size perfumes and I couldn’t be any happier. The set was made up of five cute bottles and my mother actually got one so my sister and I had two each. My father …

Clinique Happy Heart Perfume would be my first perfume from Clinique. It comes in a sleek oval shape bottle which is a very convenient design because it can fit in your purses and it won’t bulge out your purse. It is a spray type bottle which is also convenient …

My hobby is collecting and testing perfumes and it is a real passion of mine, so much so that my job entails working with fragrances as I work in a perfume store. I love my job as I get to come into contact on a daily …

This is a very refreshing, masculine scent. it is not overpowering and too strong and it is good for 6-7 hours. I wear it everytime that I go for parties and social gatherings and it mixes well with other scents. I have been using it for the past …

Working in a perfume store I get to test out a variety of fragrances that I wouldn’t normally think twice about, which is very advantageous in my eyes.
One such fragrance I recently came upon that I perhaps wouldn’t have thought twice about is this; ‘Sunshine’ by Georgio Beverly Hills …

Introduced in 2008, the nose behind this fragrance is Francois Demanchy.
Upon spraying a small portion on your wrist, you can smell grapefruit,bergamot and lemon. It eludes to a cedar and gingery scent after and the dry up stage, you will smell lavender and rosemary. The fragrance is …

I prefer light fragrance when I choose a perfume and so I chose ‘philosophy - amazing grace’ and I am happy with it. Every time I wear it gives me a fresh feeling the whole day through and it is very light and stays quite long. In fact I …

I was very excited when Victorias Secret came out with this new scent last year. I totally fell in love with the scent. If you love Dream Angels, you will love this fragrance just as much. It smells so sweet and soft, it makes you wanna …

Just because the bottle of Miss Dior Cherie mirrors the historical one from 1947, I believed it is a remake of the identically composed base of famous predecessor. Luckily, I decided to test the smell in the local store and perceived a completely new, charming concoction, featured by striking …

This is my favorite Versace perfume. It is my sexy summer time scent. I wear it other times during the year too though. It is great for just about any occasion that will come up. This is a sensual fruity floral perfume that will smell good on any woman. …

I have never been a big fan of Jennifer Lopez although I am not sure exactly why. However, I do love to use a lot of the products that she endorses and creates. I received this product as a gift from my boyfriend several months ago. …

Olivier Polge created this fragrance and this was released last 2007. This features notes of lavender and apple for the top notes and amber, leather and labdanum for base notes.
The appearance was so fine. The bottle was transparent and the portion connecting the bottle and the cover was black. …

This is one of my favourite Perfumes out there. Although it probably isn’t the notes I would normally go for, after I had sprayed this for the first time I kept going back and sniffing it on my wrist and although there is loads of Perfume out there that …

This is a nice flirty scent to wear on days you feel like celebrating or days you just want to feel good. It is a lively and fun perfume that is good for any age to try. I am in my early 30’s and love it. It smells youthful …

One of my colleagues brought sample of ‘Harajuku Lovers G’ from a magazine and I liked the scent which smells little bit like Hawaiian Tropic sun tan oil and also close to pina colada. She is a regular buyer of that magazine and she received it as a free …

I have always been in search of perfumes that smells on me longer and not just for the hour that I use. Afterall, perfumes are meant to smell nice and this perfume works wonders on that aspect. The smell is so good that I fell in love …

I’m disappointed to have received fewer perfumes the recent holidays, so far from surpassing the year before it. It seems gifting people with perfumes has fallen out of fashion. But hey, one or two is better than nary. One well-deserved fragrance that made it to my scent …

This is a revised version of the fragrance “Oscar” released several decades ago. There is a certain elegance in Oscar de la Renta’s scents. It is like every scent transforms his creations. I have always come to realize how diverse the style and concepts that is best manifested in every …

I got this scent as part of a Christmas present last year. I know that the shop Next makes nice perfumes, and although they aren’t designer, they aren’t that cheap either. I’ve never thought about going in there just for some scent, as I don’t buy my clothes there. …

After having been disappointed with Narciso Rodgriguez for Her, I decided to try another perfume. I still have 3 other ones which I bought when we were in Europe last spring. I usually buy enough as it is difficult to buy here in Gaborone. There are a few shops …

Ambush by Dana is a perfume that I will never forget. I haven’t seen this fragrance for so many years, I even forget about it until I was looking online at a perfume website online store. I like to browse the online perfume stores, because there are …

The new scent Fabulosity from Baby Phat is fabulous because there are so many intriguing scents brought together in the bottle to make this awesome perfume. The perfume isn’t any one things and smells kind of fruity, kind of citrusy, floral, , musky and exotic at the same …

I love trying new perfumes , and this one smells so good! It is a woody oriental and floral scent that will have everyone asking what you are wearing. It is bold , seductive , and different. In a way it reminds me of a guy’s cologne , but …

Avon and Patrick Dempsey teamed up for this great new fragrance creatively named …

(This review is about the Eau de Parfum, both the original and the reissued version.)
Concocted in 1947, this legendary perfume has been one of my favorites for a long time - not least because of the almost miraculously serendipitous way it first came into my posession.
I was a very …

Calvin Klein Eternity , is an oldie but goody. This perfume has been around since the late 80’s. I wore it a little during my high school years , but I didn’t really fall in love with this stuff until I was in my 20’s. One day I realized …

My boyfriend purchased this product for me as an anniversary gift. I am a huge fan of Victoria’s Secret products, and I absolutely love their fragrances. This product is no different from the others that I have used in the past. It has this amazing scent …

I got this for my birthday last year. I always get Perfume for presents, as people know how much I like it, and also I get to write about all my Perfume experiences. Sometimes people pick scents that are similar to the smells I like, otherwise I think that …

This is the “for women” version of Signe Cardin. Like many other brands, only the color differed in terms of the packaging. With this particular variety, lavender was the color of choice. The color was pretty serious given that the olfactive group is floral fruity. It was too mature to …

I ended up having a sniff of this when in my local branch of Boots. I always try th testers, as that is how I know if I will like the full sized product, and it is always a cheap way to get a nice scent. I find that …

Jaipur by Boucheron is another perfume that I love. I think I might even like this one more than the other perfume simply called Boucheron Perfume. Jaipur is a delicious combination of scents that include melons, peaches and flowers. This perfume, unlike the other Boucheron Perfume, …

I’d seen this perfume in the shops for several months and wasn’t interested in the least in sampling it. Why? Because I’m not all that crazy on Sarah Jessica Parker so I didn’t think I’d like her perfume.
Crazy I know, because when a friend called round to my house …
