This one is really made for summer. The opening is just fantastic, so fresh, juicy and mouthwatering fruity. I love the watermelon note here, and I wish it would last until the end, but well the contrary is the case. The dry down is flowery and fresh, but it's not a nice kind of freshness, but a more bitter one. Surely works for some people, but this is not going to be one of my future purchases.
Lipstick Rose brings me back to 1948, which was a glorious age for all women, because the typical 'Lipsticks' were born and how could we forget this wonderful smell of loud red old-fashioned lipsticks?! This smell always reminds me of good times, lifts my mood and give me a secure feeling. All these marvelous components are treasured in this simple bottle, created by Ralf Schwieger, called 'Lipstick Rose'. This is a journey with every sniff. I just feel being in a wardrobe of Moulin Rouge, where big shiners ornaments the mirrors and many different cosmetics sit on the dressing table. Costumes hang on the wall, the air is full of joy, everybody is laughing and there is a big crystal vase in the middle of the dressing table with a dozen red, full and rich roses, which captures this one moment. This perfume brings exactly those pictures into my mind and fulls my heart with calmness and joy. The smell of this scent is simply fascinating; slightly floral, powdery with a hint of vanilla-sweetness. I would wear it to special occasions mostly and every season seems to be right, the lasting power is reasonable. A very romantic and cheerful fragrance, which makes people happy, even if it's just for one unforgettable moment.
I see Aqua Allegoria Cherry Blossom as a very subtle and soft fragrance for the spring time. You only get a hint of the cherry blossom's because these flowers have a very faint smell with no sweetness. Simply a fresh, slight, floral scent which can be worn any daytime on sunny days, it last no longer than 4 hours. The bottle is pretty.
Organza is a classic perfume for mature women who are very self-confident and feminine. First I noticed a very heavy flower smell in combination with something sweet and woody. A good perfume for special occasions or nightlife, preferably in the colder time of the year, it lasts very long. The bottle of Organza is quite elegant and sophisticated, represents the femininity, like a treasure in gold. For me, It's just too heavy, but I get why many women adore this perfume.
My mother bought it for herself, and I tested Jette today on my skin. It represents a very soft and fresh-out-of-the-shower type of fragrance, I like it much. It has a little soapy note, but mostly floral, maybe a hint of sweetness from the tonka bean. I think this scent is very good for spring or autumn, if you don't want to smell like bathed in perfume, you can't go wrong with this one.
I'm shocked to see here are not many positive reviews about this nice scent. Flora is recently arrived in our stores, and I was delighted by this perfume the first time I tested it. It has a youthful-touch, but elegant at the same time. You don't get overpowered by flowers, because these flowers harmonizes very well, the dry down is so cuddly and comfy. The bottle is made of lush heavy glass, very decorative. 'Flora' is so nice and addictive, maybe it's too light for some people, but for me, it's just a perfect well-rounded scent.
First, I was unsure about this scent, so I tested it again. The black currant note is very dominant, and I smell some blackberries and blueberries in the top notes. It is a quite juicy scent, which reminds me also of Bordeaux red wine, for some reason. „Amethyst“ is good for summer. I like this fragrance more than Perles, maybe because of the fruity vibes. The bottle reflects the scent very well, if I could give this smell a color, it would be “purple”. Nothing wrong with this scent.
Armani Mania is made for those who like the softness and sweetness of a modest but still elegant perfume. The beginning is a bit tart and I feel some green notes mixed with a warm kind of freshness. After some minutes the scent get prettier and prettier once the heart notes open up, like breaking the hard shell and finding the deep, warm, silky center. This fragrance has a light clean, creamy and musky character, which I really like. Just plain, a very sexy everyday scent. But oh the bottle is not the best one in my opinion, just too bold for such a fragile scent. Sadly discontinued.
Incanto Bliss is the only perfume I tested by the "Incanto" line. The bottle has a cute underwater scenery which brings this song into my mind "Life is the bubbles, Under the sea...Under the sea..." by Ariel, the bottle is in reality very lovely not tacky. Now to the scent itself, it's one of the fresh-fruity kind of perfume. I'm sure I get much of the lotus blended with apple and some citrus-fruits at the beginning, but the freshness lasts until the end. There are also some woody notes. Not a unique masterpiece, but I am sure it's a good scent for spring and summer.
L de Lolita Lempicka was my 'surprise' today, but in a very good way. My first thought was "This smells exactly like my Macadamia Vanilla body lotion" and I always wanted a perfume with this smell, now I found it yee ^^ After some minutes I also smell a light cinnamon note, it's very joyful and for me absolutely not too sweet. I was never into Lolita Lempicka fragrances, because the most have this anise note, but this is an exception. The only one I can like so far and it's just lovely. The bottle looks gorgeous, could be a good decoration for a bathroom and the scent lasts very long too. Two thumbs up for this one.
This perfume was one of my first perfumes ever. I got it when I was around 11 years old, and I used to have the solid-perfume version of it as well. It is actually a great fragrance for young girls as it is a light and sweet scent. I do get some fruity notes and it kinda gives we these pink vibes. A nice everyday scent for spring or autumn, not overpowering and long-lasting.
One of my all-time favorite fragrance. The bottle is lovely, this little inconspicuous diamond with the innocent baby-blue liquid. The scent is gorgeous, an all-time classic. "Wish" is very sweet (but not sugary-sweet, the different sweet components create a good balance), milky, elegant and warm. You feel a well-rounded mix of coconut, vanilla and caramel. In a unique way. I like to wear it on special occasions or in winter, because it feels comforting and gives confidence. For me, it's almost a gourmand scent, but more on the Oriental-Vanilla side. A must-try for everyone who likes sweet and sensual fragrances.
I do respect Rene Lalique for his creations, I really admire his works. Perles is the first Chypre scent I have tried so far. As most people mentioned before, this is a peppery and powdery, but for me also a woody scent. There is no strong floral note that I get testing this. Generally speaking, it feels like a dry and cold scent. Therefore, I believe it is a good perfume for people that dislike fruity, floral, aquatic or heavy warm scents. The EDP bottle is made of frosted glass, very pretty look. Unique and feathery, that's Perles de Lalique.
What a pretty fragrance, very floral and a bit fruity in the beginning. Salvador's Ruby Lips is a cheaper version of this, in case you are looking for a dupe. Coco Mademoiselle might have more depth and better lasting power, though. It's a classy scent and for daytime all year round.
I only had a miniature bottle of this, which was gifted to me from a school friend, when I was a teenager, but I liked it a lot. A very feminine, warm and cozy fragrance. In my opinion it's not heavy or sweet, gives of this typical vintage and classy vibe. It actually might be discontinued nowadays.
I can't believe there is no coconut in the notes, because this one smells so much like coconut oil on me. It was never my favorite scent, but it suits well for daytime wear, the disadvantage is that the bottle is only available in 75 ml EDT, was way too much for me. The lasting power is also not very good, but fine to wear as office-scent for a few hours.
First time when I heard about "Banana Republic" I imagined: African tropical woods and rain which drops from exotic fruits, this description actually also suits this perfume. "Jade" is a subtle fruity/floral scent with a dominant woody note through all accords. People may think it's a simple smell, because of the few notes listed, but it smells way more complex to me. The tropical pomegranate brings a fresh and very fruity beginning, which is rounded off by the silky softness of musky cotton flower. A happy end is granted by the Kashmir woods, which gives this scent an oriental flair. A good fragrance for sunny days and casual wear. The bottle is elegant, clear and modest, it comes with a beautiful round, woody box, which actually perfectly protects the scent from aging and sun exposure.
Pour femme is an elegant floral perfume. Not too heavy or overwhelming. The top notes give off a green ripe apple scent, very fresh and clean. After a while it turns into a feminine warm scent, which reminds me a little bit of Lolita Lempicka fragrances. Easy all-rounder.
I loved this scent since I was a child, a classic perfume. My mother used to wear this when I was a kid, and occasionally I used to wear it too. "Laura" is a very uplifting fresh, fruity and juicy fragrance. Watermelon and litchi really create this watery feeling in this fragrance, but the combination of flowers and a hint of vanilla turns it into a more unique and soothing scent. It is not a surprise that this fragrance is still available all these years and has not been discontinued yet. People that don't like too sweet or heavy scents will like this one, I'm sure :)
Kenzo Amour is a clean and feminine fragrance. The scent reminds me of vanilla milkshake mixed with rice pudding on my skin. All in all a pleasant vanilla scent, maybe more suitable for colder seasons, as it is surely a more warm and comforting fragrance. The bottle is very artistic too.
Well, I tested this one because I thought maybe it's similar to Style, but that's not completely true. Stylessence smells like bitter medicine in the beginning, and it last pretty long. It gave me headaches, and I was really happy to wash it off. After washing my wrist 3 times and after some times has passed, the similarity to Style showed up. It might be a good alternative for someone who find Style too weak, but I personally prefer the normal Style-version, as it does not have this sickening opening.
Ghost Deep Night is a mysterious fragrance, which probably has some gothic or Halloween vibes to it. At the beginning you smell a smokey and bitter scent of the night blooming cereus, but after 15 minutes the top notes fade away and a lovely sweet and fruity scent of peach/apricot appears. The heart note is very pleasant, I can't compare it to any other perfume, just heavenly :) I believe this perfume might be suitable for someone, who is strong and confident, but also can show her emotions. I would recommend it for nighttime and definitely for the colder seasons.
A pretty fragrance for relaxing in the sun and drinking lemonade, as this one smells so much like sweet lemonade or "tart au citron". It has a very sugary vibe, and I think it could be considered a gourmand fragrance in regard to this scent profile. Lasting power is quite good.
I got this one for Christmas when I was a Teenager, and at first I was a bit sceptical if I like it. But after a while I recognized that Now is a very nice fragrance. The scent is fresh and floral, it becomes more and more fruity/floral after few hours. It is easy to wear during the day, not offensive or strong. I actually received compliments on this and finished the entire bottle. Just the bottle is not the best design, although the glass is iridescent, which makes it more attractive.
