Some feel the fruits in this, many don’t, but I did, big time, a cloud of sweet fruit notes if you ask me, and right out of the box. I’d say litchi or strawberry, plus pepper. In other words, quite similar to Nina and Delices by Cartier. That’s why I found the first part Very Resistible indeed, as these are not my favorite types of perfumes. To sum up the start, Perfume Irresistible Givenchy has hazy fruity and [...] Read more »
If I thought that Miss Dior Cherie was a good girl, that’s because I never met perfume Miracle by Lancome Paris. The opening extends for a good one or two hours, and it’s sweet and delicate: half fruity, with a bubbly gummy strawberry (well, it’s litchi actually), half with florals that feel quite generic, and it’s fresh and clean. I know it’s not elegant to make fun of a good girl, but one could say that it feels like [...] Read more »
Tommy Hilfiger perfume for women starts with pear, which is light and bright but distinct, mixed with mandarin and orange. It soon adds florals and becomes one of those perfumes for women that play on the line between fruity and floral (like Lalique by Lalique, I Love Love by Moschino, or Especially Escada for example) and with no caramel sweetness thrown in. And this is where the issue with this perfume Tommy Girl begins. The fruits and the [...] Read more »
Especially Escada starts velvety and floral with a good dose of juicy pear as a counterpart. The fruity notes are ripe, but with a controlled sweetness and rose is the main flower (also, the ad with Israeli model Bar Refaeli is all about roses), but it’s deprived of its headiness and softened by the fruits, so chances are, you may feel the bouquet quite generic, with only a spicy hint here and there. For a good while Perfume [...] Read more »
Three movements for this Lalique perfume. First: a fruity and a floral side, both sour (thanks to red and blackcurrant and ylang-ylang respectively); second: the two types of sourness blend and gradually disappear; leaving softer and peachy tones of fruits. At the same time, the bouquet expands. In the third and final move, the fruitiness and the floralcy completely get together in one thing only. Cool thing indeed, this Lalique Eau De Parfum. Is it mainly fruity or floral? [...] Read more »
If you have a prejudice against a Paris Hilton Fragrance that goes like “she could never make a perfume that I would like”, then don’t sweat it: the blonde celebrity had absolutely nothing to do with its creation. She just gave her name and image to the fragrance, in exchange for a good amount of money. Heiress is quite fruity in the opening, strawberry and peach, with a controlled hubba-bubba flavour. Light, non-dense florals start to come out soon, [...] Read more »
What’s the secret formula for happiness in a perfume? Citrus notes of course, with other fruits on the side. The basket is full, pick what you want: mandarins, apples, lemons, and… plastic. Think of a smoothie of fresh citrus fruits wrapped in cling-film and you’ll have Perfume Clinique Happy. But I don’t mean it bad. True, my first encounter with plastic in a perfume was disappointing (read: Gucci Rush), also, this synthetic layer in a perfume will always feel [...] Read more »
