I am an avid perfume collector, and have been one since the age of fiteen. I have an extensive collection of upscale perfumes, many of them »historic«.
Why is that important?
To establish my attitude towards perfume and, hopefully, give some credibility to my review.
For I am one of those apparently rare …

After smelling this scent, all that I can say is wow! It is a great Italian scent that will get you noticed wherever you go. This stuff is expensive and smells that way too. I think it is a classic scent and I know that it is very popular …

The packaging of the bottle is not great; it looks quite childish in my opinion. However it is bearable and I actually have come not to mind it. The floral design doesn’t rally match the ‘vanilla’ scent inside the bottle, but I suppose that is the design that natural …

I am a big collector of perfumes of all kinds and because of this it seemed obvious to me that I would end up working closely related to perfumes. I adore my job in a perfume store and am frequently asked advice from customers about certain fragrances or recommendations …

U by Ungaro has been a Perfume that came out exclusively for Avon about a year and a half ago. I bought it when it first came out, and although it is not a Perfume I would wear everyday, then I use it on the odd occasion and obviously …

This is a new scent by Gucci , and I was very excited to give it a try. I bought a small bottle without sampling it , because I am usually a huge Gucci fan. I got it home and sprayed some on prepared to be delighted , but …

I purchased this perfume a few months ago, but until yesterday I never had any need to wear it. I had brought this product while on a shopping trip with a few of my friends. Although I have purchased several clothing items and accessories from Charlotte Russe, …

I will say now that I am not a fan normally of floral based perfumes. So why am I reviewing a floral perfume? Well this may have well been the one that has turned my head in the floral direction.
This is Oscar Latin Light by Oscar de la Renta …

This is my favourite in the Hugo brand. I first noticed this about 6 years ago and have a bottle in the house all the time. When it gets low I have to run out and get a new one.
Oddly enough this comes in a 90ml bottle, which costs …

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 …

This was the first Jennifer Lopez scent that I tried and although I wouldn’t say it is a favourite scent of mine, but it is a nice scent. Although I tend to go for more Light, Fruity and Airy kind of scents, and this has a touch of that, …

I work part time in a perfume store and this past few weeks has been incredibly busy in the run up to Christmas. I’ve had a lot of male customers coming in wanting to buy the perfect present for their partners and one of the most popular samples I …

There is no doubt about it: Opium —“ the sensation of 1977 (and not only because of its scent, but because of its controversial ad campaign) and then of the early 1980s—“ is one of those “love it or hate it” scents… although I have noticed that opinions can “mellow” …

This is a perfume that stands out and will stay on your mind. It is an old favorite of my aunts , and she gave me a bottle one year for Christmas. I was hooked on this fragrance then and there. This perfume has been around since before I …

I have been a fan of designer perfumes but I had some problems with my budget so I relied on gifts, though I don’t really ask for some. I have an aunt who is in Norway and when she comes back from abroad, she buys us what we want …

If you enjoy sweet and intoxicating scents,then this perfume could be for you. If you think sweet perfumes cause headaches, then avoid this scent at all cost. It is very sweet and heady. It smells like candy to me. I think it has a wonderful yummy type of scent! …

I love Quel Amour! For Women by Annick Goutal. This is a lovely fragrance by Annick Goutal. I have used Annick Goutal perfumes in the past, but the smell of this one is even more intoxicating. In all the perfumes that I have, and I have …

Before I started working in a perfume store if someone had mentioned wearing a fragrance by Estee Lauder then I would have looked at them with gimlet eyes and given them a hard stare. For me the idea would have been ludicrous as Estee Lauder always conjured up …

The first time I saw this item from a perfumery, I was attracted to its colorful packaging. This perfume also comes in other scents such as Incanto Charms and Incanto Dream all by Salvatore Ferragamo. Anyway, I bought the Incanto Shine. It comes with a 30 ml bottle that …

The third and final scent in the Avon Simple Elements Perfume range and my least favourite. It isn’t that this is such a bad Perfume, but the other 2 are so much nicer that this one gets left behind. I buy a bottle of this now and again but …

This is one of my best loved perfume. Often times when I run out of perfume I usually find this scent in our local stores or ask my relatives from the United States to send me this perfume.
I personally love its sweet sensual smell. Its really worth my money …

When I think of Paco Rabbane, I always have images of the name being marketed as mainly male, but this new fragrance from them for women - Lady Million - is all woman.
At the risk of sounding incredibly shallow, the most obvious appealing factor for me, and probably many …

There are some perfumes which really inspires me to try by just looking at them. One of which is Drifter by True Religion. This perfume has a classy physical appearance, it resembles a man in leather jacket riding a motorcycle. I am fond of collecting these type of perfumes, those …

I’m not particular with how an oriental scent smells, but whatever Avon describes it Far Away is one of the best Avon perfumes available. The fragrance is never out of style. It’s one of my top 10 list of best perfumes of all time. I could see how …

It had been a long time since I purchased a perfume and I figured that this product would be a great splurge for me during a recent online shopping spree. Although I had never personally smelled this product prior to purchasing it, I decided to give it a …

The amazing smell of Freesia Blue Splash Spray by Bath and Body Works is one that I’m crazy about. I’ve started to use it everyday, since I purchased it about one month ago. I wasn’t even sure that I was going to purchase this fragrance, because when …

Butterfly Flower by Bath and Body Works is an amazing scent that reminds me of tangerines and flowers. While I was looking around that the Bath and Body Works store, I must have tried a dozen scents and perfumes. After a while, they all started to smell …

I never buy Avon perfumes first of all because they all look so classic so I guess only old ladies buy them and then because they don’t usually smell nice. I got Pur Blanca eau de toilette for my birthday from a family friend who is also an Avon …

This is one of those scent that I was very excited about. I like how innovative Kenzo as a designer and how he comes up with various inspiration in his perfumes. Before his “Les Eaux de Fleur Collection” tamed me to be more subtle and sensual in …

The story “Incredible Me” was interesting for me. Escada has released a new scent “Desire Me”, the next installment after “Incredible Me”. Of course the name alone is suggestive of something. It is described as “seductive” and the entire philosophy behind this is similar to Gucci’s “Envy Me” or …

I love finding good smelling and good quality perfumes that are priced right. This scent is very affordable and just a great all around buy. If you want a scent that is pretty but different, then check this one out. If you enjoy a good floral, then I think …

I tried this scent out , and all that I can say is wow! If you love citrus frutiy scents , then you have got to get a whiff of this fragrance. It is unique and smells good from start to finish. I have gotten a lot of compliments …

One of my classic favorite female perfumes is Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. Green Tea for me is a powerful antioxidant. I love everything which has green tea. The tea that I drink, the lotion, the shampoo, I make sure it has green extracts. So when the original Elizabeth …

Bulgari fragrances are undeniably exquisite and they certainly know how to make a good hybrid of contemporary and classic flavors. But I don’t think the house notably known for their opulent bijoux has the most profound of scents, only steeply priced. It’s the same old spiel that’s …

I bought Lanvin’s Eclat D’Arpege edp for my girlfriend as a Gift on our 1 year anniversary. I got the idea as I glanced at the nicely packaged perfume in one of the department Stores in Orchard Road, Singapore.
I also hinted to her about the fragrance before and I …

Well I have never owned anything from Diesel. To me it was always this Jeans Company that made rugged jeans and in my mind it sounded more catered to males. So when I came across the perfumes from the brand I sort of thought it might be in …

To write a glowing review of this perfume would still not do it justice. This is the art of perfumery at one of its highest levels, and it reeks of quality.
The muskiest and sexiest perfume that has probably ever existed, this is well worth whatever price the shops are …

A Scent by Miyake Perfume is an amazing blend of jasmine, lemon and cut grass. I first tried this perfume when my cousin came over for a visit. I asked her what perfume she was wearing and she told me A Scent by Miyake. Although I had heard of …

Over the past few years I have become quite fond of the Hugo Boss fragrances. My present collection contains Hugo Deep Red, Hugo Pure Purple, Hugo Women, Boss Intense, Boss Women and probably few more whose name I cannot recall. Each of these fragrances is special in its own …

I usually wear Vera Wang Princess that comes in the beautiful light purple colored perfume bottle, however I couldn’t resist buying a bottle of Vera Wang’s New Glam Princess recently. For one, the bottle is beautiful which is always a draw for me. It is shaped the same as …

While in Paris, I bought this perfume. I have one Hermes Birkin bag so I also purchased one perfume from Hermes. I never tried any perfume from them. As a consistent patron of Chanel and Dior, I wanted to explore other brands. I asked for a tester in one …

When I think of Bottega Verde I always think of really great skin care products which I simply adore because they are made from natural ingredients, Bottega Verde in Italian actually means Green Shop. Bottega Verde for me also means great discounts, my sister is a member there and …

Avon’s Simply Because perfume is as mild as water and has a subtle scent you’ll never find in other perfumes. My mom works for Avon as a part-time dealer and she thought I would love Simply Because so she offered me an Avon brochure and suggested to me this …

Guerlain Homme Intense comes in a grandiose package, trimmed with the classic black and silver components of a sleek and minimalist outer look. The box depicts the elegance of Guerlain House with the formality of the everything that is written on it. The flacon is somewhat dark brown but it …

I purchased this fragrance for a discount at £30 for a 100ml bottle and this is a great price when you compare it with other designer fragrances. It is an eau de toilette and that is also why it is cheaper.
Since I didn’t smell it before I had …

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 …

I admit, I neglected Chanel for a long, long time. While I absolutely love Coco’s (original) fashion design, the idea of Chanel perfumes was somewhat off-putting to me, ever since had the misfortune of having to walk around with her fabled No 5 assaulting me through my nostrils. (Read my …

I had never heard of Surreal Perfume until my niece gave me a sample of it that she had gotten from a friend of hers. She didn’t open it because she told me that she too had never heard of it and she didn’t want to waste it if …

I was browsing in a store called Sephora that I had never visited before in my local mall. What I really liked about the store right off the bat is how they have samples of everything from makeup to fragrances stacked along the walls and on shelves. When I …

Aqua Di Gio By Giorgio Armani belong with the category of great value scents, fit for every oportunity, personality and generation. I remember my first encounter with this awesome extravagant fragrance, a formidable present for my husband from a distanced, affluent relative long time ago. Stunned and awed by …
