Perfume Reviews
Sweet Darling by Kylie Minogue (perfume)
I remember Kylie Minogue from her debut in the hit Australian soap opera Neighbours many moons ago now. Her acting ability was a bit wooden so who would have thought she would go on to be a hugely successful singing star, let alone her own range of perfumes?
Not me …
ELLE by Yves Saint Laurent 3.0 oz Women’s EDP Perfume
Long ago I read an interesting article about aroma therapy as a cure for distress and depression, and found out it could be indeed a very commendable, natural and particularly effective remedy. Perhaps this is the most important reason why I frequently lust spectacular smell of Elle, outstanding creation …
Ralph Hot by Ralph Lauren for Women, Eau De Toilette Natural Spray
Not that I am overly sentimental, but if you do not mind me saying, bridal showers are usually traditional, stuffy gatherings, where the bride-to-be receives tons of essential crap from blenders and toasters to irons, imperative to serve in her future warm and nurturing nest. Furthermore, major part of …
Angel Schlesser Essential Perfume for Women
I think that this perfume has a good name in Essential, because it should be an essential part of every woman’s perfume collection! I really love it. I think that this is a very bold and beautiful scent that will be sure to attract stares and comments wherever you …
Armani Code Perfume
Armani Code Perfume is not a favorite. I really didn’t like much about this perfume that comes from Giorgio Armani. The perfume is advertised with a lot of seductive drama, being called ‘the secret code of women’, but good drama and intrigue doesn’t always equal a good …
Avon Spotlight Perfume
This is a brand new fragrance out from Avon. It is the Perfume from Courtney Cox, and has just launched the other week. I got a tester sample of this and I have to say it is my favourite fragrance of the moment. It is gorgeous, and it reminds …

L’Air du Temps (Nina Ricci) perfume
(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 …
DKNY Men Summer 2009 perfume
Donna Karan has a new treat for the upcoming summer season. The name is DKNY Men Summer. This was released specifically for this year.
The bottle is similar to the previous DKNY Men perfume. It has a rectangular shape. The bottle had huge DKNY letters on the middle and …
Crabtree and Evelyn Vanilla Perfume
I have always loved the aroma and taste of vanilla; whether it be a vanilla-flavored candle, vanilla handsoap, or a vanilla ice cream on top of a float, in my case, nothing can ever go wrong with vanilla (and yes, my favorite is Vanilla Coke!).
I bought a Crabtree and …
Green Tea Scent Spray by Elizabeth Arden perfume

Anna Sui Sui Love Perfume
I have tried all the Anna Sui scents out there, and have tended to try them as I liked the first couple I tried. Although the Price for this brand of Perfume is quite high for the size of bottle, the quality is good and I just like the scent …
Christian Dior Fahrenheit Perfume
This scent has been out for ages. I think I first smelt this in the 80’s and it is quite a strong smelling scent. Nothing has seemed to changed with this scent, and I think this smells a bit dated, so just a shame that there isn’t a lighter …
Cliff Richard Miss You Nights Perfume
I thought it was odd that the singer Cliff Richard had a Perfume out. After all I wouldn’t have ever thought about buying a scent from a man in his 70’s. what does he know about someone my age wanting a nice scent. I got this as a present …
Pure Poison By Dior ( For Women ) Perfume
Pure Poison was another version of the classic hit “Poison” from Christian Dior. Pure Poison was released in 2004. I was impressed with one of the video ads of this perfume since it was daring and very unconventional. The particular video ad that struck me was the one which featured …

I have never been a body spray person. I am more of a perfume person and I have to have my perfume and that is all I need to keep me smelling and feeling good. I also don’t have an issue with body odor so I never …
Mango Delirium Perfume
I bought this for myself just because it was such a good buy. I had never tried this before, and not even smelt it when I bought it. That could have worked out pretty bad, but since I got this for a good price, and also I thought I …

ALIEN by Thierry Mugler Eau De Parfum Spray
It is hard to explain why am I so genuinely attracted by more or less all creations, made by proclaimed French creator Thierry Mugler; once dreamy and rebellious child, today artistic, multidimensional fashion designer. Particularly, I am irresistibly magnetized by his unique fragrances and one of my favorite is …
Nina Ricci Love in Paris 1.7 oz

Victoria’s Secret Garden: Strawberries and Champagne
Victoria’s Secret products never really fails my taste. I really love this perfume which is Strawberries and Champagne, the name speaks for itself. It has a very sweet scent which for me is very appealing. I’ve tried a few other products of Victoria’s but for me this product is …
Vintage (Kate Moss, 2009), perfume
I am not sure what one would or should expect from a fragrance “produced” by Kate Moss - but surely “baby powder” doesn’t come to mind.
And yet, that was my second —“ and lasting - impression of this fragrance. Its sillage and then the drydown (which is extremely persistent and …
Davidoff Cool Water Woman eau de toilette
Davidoff Cool Water Woman eau de toilette is a perfume I bought late last year. I confess the reason I bought the perfume was after seeing all the advertisements of two of the television show Lost’s main characters in them—”Josh Holloway and Evangeline Lilly. Lost is part …

Bath and Body Works, Black Raspberry Vanilla Fragrance Mist
I’m surprised that most of Bath and Body Works’ products look completely rebranded. I went to see closely if it’s just the revamped packaging that changed. I figured they were the same old products. I used to love their cherry blossom lotion which works as a …
