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...

Miss Sixty Eau De Toilette Spray

Advantages: Miss Sixty Eau De Toilette Spray
Disadvantages: Miss Sixty Eau De Toilette Spray

...Miss Sixty Eau De Toilette Spray I do love my perfumes and I think my friends and family are pleased that I am so easy to buy for at birthdays and Christmas. I often like most perfumes and find that each fragrance has a particular time of the year or time of the day where it is suited to. I do of course have my favourites and this Miss Sixty perfume is one of them. I have used up I would say at least 2 or 3 bottles of this stuff since it came out about 3 years ago. This means I must use quite a lot because I have such a wide variety in the bathroom and these Miss Sixty bottles hold a fair bit of the perfume. I am mostly bought perfumes from people and don?t end up having to pay anything for them and I think this bottle is no different. I know that you would be looking at paying between £20 and £20 for a standard...

Review of Miss Sixty Eau De Toilette Spray for Her

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...

Cacharel Eau De Eden

Advantages: light enticing scent
Disadvantages: turned darker in color after a year

...Cacharel Eau De Eden Eau De Toilette Spray was created by Jean Guichard in 1996. It was launched the same year. Eau de Eden is a lighter version of Eden, that was launched two years after the original scent. I liked Eden a tad more than this. I like the light flowery scent. But its too light i guess to stay on long like lou lou or anais anais which are also cacharel scents. It has the usual Cacharel flowery box but the bottle looks too plain for me. I have a wide array of perfumes so i tend to use a diffrent one every day. I noticed that the liquid inside the bottle turned darker in color after a year. I threw the box and I am not sure if i saw any manufacturing date on it. It could have been an old stock at the shop i that i bought it from. Other than that, I can say that i got what i paid for in buying a bottle of this...

Review of Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette Spray

Mmm, fragrance Francais

Advantages: Lovely smell, classic, everyone knows it
Disadvantages: Not cheap

...I'm not a huge expert on fragrances, but this is one I know well. Chanel no5 has got to be the most perfume in the world. The French have long been known for producing the best fragrances, and Coco Chanel, produced several perfumes. She revolutionised the women’s fashion world in the 1920’s and again in the 50’s. Chanel no.5 appeared in 1923 and it’s been going strong ever since. Except that it’s not strong, in the overpowering sense! The smell is gorgeous, one of the more flowery perfumes. It has a high proportion of jasmine, with rose de mai, orris and neroli,blended wth sandalwood, vanilla cedar and musk. So that’s it, that’s the recipe for that wonderful heady experience – I’m speaking more as one who smells it on others, rather than someone who wears it. It’s...

Review of Chanel No.5 Eau De Parfum Spray

a lovely perfume

Advantages: great smell
Disadvantages: none

...****Hugo Boss: Femme, Eau de Parfum **** As i have previously said i love perfumes so after i sampled this in a max factor gift set i went out and purchased it because i thought it was so nice. Hugo Boss have a wide range of perfumes and is quite a known brand but surprisingly i think that this is the first perfume i have purchased by them(as far as i can remember any way). As it is well known my expectations were quite high and i was happy to receive first the sample and then to find it was on offer. As i was going by the smell before i saw the bottle it was a nice bonus that the bottle for this is quite pretty. The bottle is circular and made of glass that is quite thick. The overall look is that the bottle is of a high quality and i think i will be keeping the bottle after the perfume is finished. The first smell you are hit...

Review of Hugo Boss Boss Femme Perfume Eau De Parfum Spray

Perfume to die for

Advantages: Smells delicious
Disadvantages: price

...Chanel No.5 Isn't it delicious, my boyfriend bought me the body satin spray, whilst in france watching the Le mans race. It is wonderful, especially after a nice hot bath in chanel no.5 body gel. The spray is very easy to apply and you need only a very small amount, at first it feels quite oily, but once it has been massaged into the skin it feels great. My skin has never felt so soft and moisturised. THe bottle describes it as "Innovative continuous spray mists on skin-softening dry oil from any abgle. Unique alcohol-free formula moisturizes thoroughly. Enriched with vitamin E, chamomile and aloe; absorbs quickly to sooth and smooth. Skin is lightly scented with the lingering elegant fragrance of world-renowned Chanel No.5". Instructions for use "Mist onto still-damp skin after bath or shower; massage in with gentle...

I'm No Addict Of This Perfume

Advantages: distinctiveness, bottle and packaging

Going by it's popularity you might well like it too. I certainly respect Dior for creating landmark fragrances. But personally I give it only two stars as I simply can't stand the smell. But the quality and bottle design and still first class....

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

Guerlain Insolence Eau de Toilette - a little bit too bold

Advantages: Fairly pleasant scent; beautiful bottle; very good staying power
Disadvantages: Doesn't smell as expensive as it is; rather heavy and old-fashioned

...I bought a selection of mini perfumes from Boots as a treat for myself - it was reduced to £8 and contained five fragrances so I thought that was pretty good value, and I really enjoy trying new perfumes. I had previously seen an advert for Guerlain Insolence. What struck me about that was that I really didn't like the name; insolence is defined as 'an arrogant, insulting or bold mode of conduct or attitude'. To me that doesn't seem anything to aspire to; perhaps they were aiming at a vaguely 'rebellious' teenage market, which would also explain why it's the sponsor for the programme Gossip Girl, which thankfully I have never had to watch. The bottle - even the miniature version I have - is really rather pretty, with a glass rose shape forming the lid, which sits on the rounded bottle at a jaunty angle. I applied the perfume to my...
