Chanel Chance Eau de Parfum

Advantages: Long lasting
Disadvantages: Expensive

...This fragrance is like no other I have ever come across. It is totally unique. Recently new to the market but an instant classic. I sell perfume for a living in Harvey Nichols and this is a perfume adored by all. I've never once sprayed this on to someone's arm and they not have liked it. It can be worn by all ages. It's a long lasting perfume, the scent lingers with you all day. Recognisable. Classed as an oriental floral fragrance. It contains notes of hyacinth and citron, jasmine, pink pepper, fresh vetiver, orris absolute, amber patchouli and white musk. Very romantic and seductive. This product is available in 50ml, 100ml and now handbag size 3x30ml, as well as a range of bath time products. The Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche fragrance has recently been launched and is based on the original chance but a lot lighter and in my opinion does...

Review of Chanel Chance Eau De Parfum Spray

Burberry touch is wonderful!

Advantages: not over powering and lasts all day!
Disadvantages: on the perfume none!

...powering like others I have tried. I personally feel that the smell would suit all ages but in saying that different perfumes to smell different on different people, when ordering the perfume was described to smell like vanilla, orange, cedar, cassis, dewberry and jasmine. But to be honest I cant smell any of them. The lotion has the same smell but its not so powerful and strong, the lotion is lovely and creamy and melts a way with in minutes. I find it does leave my skin lovely and soft I apply it after shower or bath but the fragrance does fade after an hour or so. The perfume however does last, I love this perfume because of this reason unlike the others on the market it doesn't wear off after 3 hours or if you get caught out in the rain. Cost and wear to buy it.. I brought my gift set which contained Burberry Touch Eau de...

Review of Burberry Touch Eau De Parfum Spray for Her

A little touch of Burberry

Advantages: Strong, sweet, unique fragrance
Disadvantages: Pricey.

..."Burberry was created by Burberry in 1995 and is recommended for daytime wear. This feminine scent possesses a blend of peach, apricot, sandalwood, cedar, amber and musk. This delicate composition reaches its pinnacle in the heady seduction of vanilla and cedarwood, underlining the presence of today's woman in all her touching complexity. Notes include: Cassis, Dewberry, Pink Peppercorn, Californian Orange, Rose Oil, Jasmine, Raspberry, Peach, Madonna Lily, Tuberose, Cedarwood, Vanilla, and Oakmoss." Although this perfume is recommended for day wear, I personally feel that it is a bit too strong to wear to work; however, I am not a huge fan of strong perfume in general. The peach and apricot give this fragrance its sweet base and the sandalwood, cedar, amber and musk make it powerful. It is definitely not a light floral fragrance...

It's Not Just Burberry, It's Burberry LONDON!

Advantages: strong jasmine tones, durable, reasonable price
Disadvantages: some might find it too sickly sweet

...some of these ingredients too heady in a perfume. According to my husband who has a very strong sense of smell (my nose works well enough but he's very good at distinguishing different aromas) he says the jasmine is the most powerful smell in Burberry London and he likes it well enough. What about me personally? Well I do like Burberry London and can see myself buying it for myself when my gift bottle runs out. Burberry London can be purchased in several sizes including 5ml, 30ml, 50ml and 100ml and I feel the price falls within the cheap to medium range with a 30ml bottle costing around £12-15 and a 100ml bottle in the range of £25-41. As I said above I can actually see myself buying more of Burberry London when I use up my first bottle - but I don't think it'll be in my top 5 perfumes that I adore. Ysatis de Givenchy has been my...

Eau de Kittyfluff

Advantages: Smells so darkly sexy!
Disadvantages: The bottle weighs a tonne..

...Now I am a fussy girlie when it comes to buying perfume. It has to be expensive, it has to be an eau de parfum, and you have to be able to smell me coming a mile away. I love dark, musky scents with hints of Indian Spice and incense. I just can't abide by fresh,fruity rubbish. I don't wish to smell like a bowl of pot pourri or a magic tree car air freshner. I discovered this particular fragrance whilst shopping just before Christmas with my beloved Mr Fluff. Who was at the time sweating his nads off trying to think of what to buy his little fluffball. This was when I found one of those open style perfumeries. The girl looked a little bored, so I told her what kind of things I liked and then made her run around spraying endless testers on to those little card sniffy things.I think she was quite incensed by the fact that I told her...

Stella McCartney - Stella Eau de Parfum

Advantages: Lovely long lasting fragrance with woody depths
Disadvantages: None

...- Sheer and In Two - but neither of them is quite as good as the original. Eau de parfum: 100mls - £56.00 50mls - £39.50 30mls - £20.00 There's also a body milk and a shower cream, but I didn't think they were terribly good and the fragrance didn't last....

Sophistication in a Glass Bottle (UPDATED!)

Advantages: Lasts well, packaging looks very classy
Disadvantages: Expensive, very strong scent, quite overpowering

...I bought this as a present to myself a while ago, I've decided it's about time, I shared my thoughts on it with you all. I paid £25, for a 30ml bottle from Fenwick stores, it’s Eau de Parfum, therefore stronger than the Eau de Toilette. I have since seen it on numerous websites for £20 for the 50ml bottle, doesn't that annoy you!! You will get it for a lot cheaper than I did, just keep your eye out for a bargain, it's often available in giftsets with other products from the same range. The size of the bottle is pretty miniscule.I was quite shocked when I opened the box....then opened the cloth bag...and found the tiniest bottle known to man. The box is pretty misleading, if I'd realised the bottle of perfume was so small, I definately wouldn't have picked it up. The actual bottle comes in a cream box, with the distinct...

Burberry Eau De Toilettes - doesnt smell of chavs

Advantages: Nice smell, good for summer
Disadvantages: a rather confusing change of name

...For starters there is now some confusion about Burberry London - the product pictured is the old 'Burberry London' - launched in 1995, it is now sold under simply the name 'Burberry'. A new fragrence in a bottle covered in checked fabric similar to the 'Burberry Brit' Bottle was released in 2006 called Burberry London, the new fragrence is heavier and more musky, closer to 'Burberry Brit' in smell. This review refers to the old 'Burberry London' - Now just called 'Burberry', it is in a red box, in a bottle with an eye shaped base, with a silver lid. The eau de toilette is applied by spray nozzle, as many EDT's are. In my opinion this gives it longer lasting power than the splash on varieties. Burberry as a brand is often derided for its association with the Chav culture in Britain, many forget that it has been a very high...

Review of Burberry s London Eau De Toilette Spray for Him

♥ ♥ Burberry London ♥ ♥

Advantages: Elegance in a bottle
Disadvantages: The price, possible confusion with a previous perfume

...with a product but I find it hard to buy a perfume only after having seen a photograph, even an original, effective one. If you read women's magazines you will undoubtedly see that Rachel Weisz (winner of the best supporting actress award at the Oscars for her role in "The constant gardener") promotes "Burberry London". She has replaced Kate Moss, and was photographed in the streets of London. To me, this perfume is a real success. It's ideal for an evening (or a night) out. If you put it on in the morning, it will last 3/4 hours. °0° Prices °0° Here are the references I found on boots.co.uk : 30 ml | £86.67 per 100 ml £26.00 And on sephora.com (American website) : 1.7oz Eau de parfum spray 56 dollars 3.3oz Eau de parfum spray 76 dollars 5oz delicately floral body lotion 36 dollars 5oz delicately floral shower gel 34...

Review of Burberry s London Eau De Toilette Spray

Wow! I love that Aadehydes smell you're wearing !!

Advantages: This is THE perfume - pure class!
Disadvantages: Expensive but worth it.

...also know that all my daughters have been keen to pinch a squirt from their teenage years onwards. History of the perfume When Coco Chanel commissioned Ernest Beaux to make a new perfume she told him "I want to give women an artificial perfume.Yes, I really do mean artificial, like a dress, something that has been made. I don't want any rose or lily of the valley, I want a perfume that is a composition." She wanted perfume to be 'un parfum de femme, à l'odeur de femme (the scent/smell of a woman)' Consequently this perfume was the first perfume to heavily rely on synthetic floral aldehydes. It is alleged that the perfume got its name when Coco was given a range of different perfumes numbered from 1 to 6 by Beaux to chose as her first perfume she chose number five, number five was also her lucky number Andy...
