I tested this perfume from one of the store testers, and boy was I sorry that I sprayed it onto myself. I first thought it smelled wonderful on my skin. But after a few hours, I started to smell like some cheap alcohol or salon chemical. I felt nauseous …

This is one of those frustrating scents from Gucci. In terms of style, I never get bored with Tom Ford’s creative mind when he was still the creative director of the house of Gucci. I was always given a more renewed concept and a inspiring way to dress up. …

I stopped by at Kiehl’s to take another tour around their roller-ball fragrance oils. Many of Kiehl’s musky smelling EDTs were not part of the attraction, but I thought there was something particularly “mystic” about the one called Forest Rain. It’s not just the poetic name of …

I first went into the perfume store at the mall just shopping around, hoping to find a good everyday fragrance to use. I was looking for one that wasn’t too strong but more of a sudden one that when people smell they’d be like “wow, she smells amazing!” After …

When I received this as a birthday present recently I was very excited.
I’d previously seen it in the store where I worked so I was already aware of the scent and loved it!
I must confess to never owning any of Anna Sui’s perfumes before - until now - and …

When I was young, I would often catch my mom wearing this fragrance. It’s a timeless scent that’s reminiscent of old times. Still today, I find the perfume smells vintage but totally not past its prime. In my younger years though, I never had a clearly …

Perfumes, for me, have always been something very personal and intimate. It usually takes a long time for me to pick one. I browse for reviews in the internet, and go around shops smelling different brands before finally making a choice. But when I do make that choice, I …

I am already using two of the three Wishes scents of Avon. They are Wish of Happiness and Wish of Peace. I have made a brief test but have not really used for long the Wish of Love yet. I now wish to talk about Avon …

I got a bottle of this perfume as a present. I tend to get Perfume a lot for a present as people know that I like it and also that I like to try different Perfumes. If I had to buy all the Perfumes that I end up trying …

My attention was truly arrested by intriguing 212 fragrance line by Carolina Herrera, containing endless list of differing innovations. Therefore, when 212 Splash comes in my possession as a present, my sister-in-law as a donor really hit the head of the nail. Like all others, this one come housed …

This is 1 of my all time favourite perfumes out there. I tried this around 8 years ago, loved it and have been buying it on and off ever since.
This comes in a few different ways. I tend to buy the largest bottle as it works out the cheapest. …

I have a friend who calls herself a designer whore. While I don’t really like that term, she means that she loves all things made by designers, and will do almost anything to get them-in her case, a second job to feed her habit. She recently returned from a …

I am a huge fan of Kat Von D and her television show about tattoo artists living in Los Angeles, California. Normally, I do not purchase celebrity fragrances since they have a tendency to be nothing more than overpriced cheap perfumes. After months of agonizing over whether …

My dad bought Aigner Pour Homme Blue Emotion last week, and although I am a woman, I like male’s perfume more than ladies’ ones. I think men’s perfume is fresh, and somehow, it smells elegant. Unlike women’s, which is sometimes ‘too much’, and too seductive… or worse, can make …

I was actually given a bottle of Desperate Housewives Forbidden Fruit by Coty as a joke because I love the show so much. With its inexpensive price tag, my husband did not know if it would get much wear considering my usual preferences (perfume is my one indulgence …

This is the last Banana Republic scent that I have tried. I’m not sure if there is more than these 4 out there, but that’s the only 4 I’ve tried. I got a tester of this, so didn’t have the full sized bottle, but have seem what the bottle …

I fell in love with Escada’s limited summer edition scents ever since I smelled the Ibiza Hippie on my friend. I have bought Island Kiss and Rockin Rio and have tried the other summer editions as well. The most recent one I have, which I bought last year, …

I have never used the classic Chloe scent so no comparisons will be done with the old scent, which some claim is much better than the 2008 release.
I was quite taken by the scent but hesitated very long because of the very hefty price tag.
Bottle : 5/5
I actually love …

Oh, this perfume is so incredible! This was given to me as a birthday present from my mother. There’s no words to explain how perfect is the scent because I’ve never experience something like that! The mysterious smell, it can’t say enough about it! First, I find it …

By the name of the Perfume I wasn’t expecting some deep, scented smell. It sounded a bit fun and nice smelling. I got this as a sample from a website when I bought quite a few Perfumes, and I looked up the price of this and see it was …

This is the last Perfume in the Avon Sassy Swirls range that I am reviewing. I’ve reviewed the other 2 in the range so it is the turn of this one. I bought all 3 of them at the same time. This was probably because they were new and …

I was so excited to finally get a chance to smell this very popular perfume when we went to an Ultra store. I sprayed some on my wrists and a spray or two on my shirt. I find it very raunchy and headache inducing just seconds after I had …

I’ve never been a huge fan of Ralph Lauren fragrances in the past, so when I was given a bottle of this - ‘Ralph Hot’ - as a present recently I was a little apprehensive.
Though this fragrance has actually been around a while now (it was launched back in …

I love my job in a perfume store as I get to test out many different fragrances that I may not otherwise come into contact with on a day to day basis as I’ve stated many times before. Although Tommy Hilfiger is a well known and popular …

Hearts & Daggers perfume is a must for all Ed Hardy lovers, struggling fervently to identify with his original, tattooed trademark. In spite, think twice before you smell it, for just a sniff of the whiff and you are hooked; but do not say I did not warn …

When it comes to perfume, I am extremely picky and have a very distinct nose for a particular smell. I was shopping at the mall and ended up going into a perfume shop. I spent at least one hour in there from constantly smelling different perfumes. I like to …

When this famous Mall along the northern part of city opened, I was one of those who graced the occasion by going there and checking some stores. A bunch of luxury stores opened and along some, there were famous brands. As both aspiring shoppers fill the store, I myself …

I have to start this review by stating I am not a fan of Paris Hilton. I don’t know why but she does nothing for me at all, but that’s not to say I don’t like her perfumes as I have a slight guilty pleasure from wearing them.
As …

I only knew basil when it was one of the spices in the pizza I ate in Mexico. It is one of the most common flavoring agent in cuisine but little did we know that it has powerful medicinal properties too. It can be a very useful alternative to …

I was excited to see my Avon representative this morning because one of the items in my bags (not bag - bags you read right!) was this gorgeous new scent from the company.
There are four in the new Simple Elements range and this is the first one I have …

I received a puny vial of this perfume as a sample. Actually it was free stuff enclosed on an order I had placed last year, the giveaways you get for purchasing a certain amount. I thought it was a brilliant idea to also market commodities, the irrelevant …
