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...

Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Eau de Parfum Spray

Advantages: Very seductive and mysterious fragnance, recommended for the eveing
Disadvantages: May be too strong for morning

...I got this perfumes for my birthday from my boyfriend's parents. They knew that I liked them as I found tester in one magazine some time ago and I was going to buy them myself. However they were quicker. There are few things which I would highly recommend in this product. First of all- fragrance. You have probably seen an advert and you need to admit it's a bit mysterious, seductive and it makes impression. There's no difference with the smell. If I would need to use only one world to describe it- it would be Seductive. This composition is very strong that's why I would rather discourage you of using it in the morning. All the senses are very sensitive in the morning and these perfumes may irritate you or even entourage. I remember when I spray it few times on me in the morning, it almost made me sneezing. It may be hard to believe but...

Bvlgari Rose Essentielle

Advantages: sweet, subtle, flowery fragrance, subtle scent, long lasting, good quality, good price
Disadvantages: None

...This is one of my favourite fragrances. I had not really come across 'Bvlgari' (pronounced 'Bulgari') fragrances before and I knew the brand more for bags and shoes... I came across this perfume on one of my shopping trips to 'Debenhams' where they have a large selection of perfumes to sample and choose from. I was drawn to this particular frangrance 'Rose Essentielle' as it was one of the ones in the 'new' section and I was looking for a perfume that had a sweet flowery scent that was not too strong, just nice and subtle... and this was one of them. I was really impressed with this one that I got the big 50ml bottle that seemed like a rather generous quantitiy for approximately £32 I paid for it about a year ago.. The bottle is a transparent one in a light pink colour and the cover is a gold round and chunky one with pink top...

Review of Bvlgari Pour Femme Rose Essentielle Eau de Parfum Spray

Wake up and smell the roses

Advantages: Light, unusual, delicate, feminine
Disadvantages: Delicate notes are not noticeable

...without crushing or harvesting the petals of the flower. The living flower is placed in a glass bell where an apparatus inhales the scent which is then recreated in laboratory. When I sprayed the perfume on my arm, it smelled more than just rose. It smelled like the whole flower with its leaves and woody stem; a scent that reminded me of spring mornings when the earth exhales its dewy freshness and the smell of wet grass hangs in the air. Being an eau de parfum this first phase of 'very rose' is tenacious can last up to an hour. After that the middle notes appear which are composed of balanced fresh floral scents of rose oil and magnolia. I liked this phase better, it was however a lot more faded than the top notes of rose. The woody, sweet, light, subtle and powdery base gives it a lovely finish that lingers on the skin for up to 8 hours...

Stella McCartney - Stella Eau de Parfum

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

...I tried this when it was sprayed on me in Harvey Nicks, and I wasn't terribly pleased at first. It seemed much more floral than I would normally wear. I was a die-hard Clarins Eau Dynamisante girl at the time. But as I walked round the store, I kept sniffing at my hand (where the girl had sprayed me) and the fragrance grew on me more and more. Underneath the violet/rose top notes, there's a lovely woody hint of amber that is utterly seductive! Eventually, I HAD to go back and actually buy a bottle there and then. That's never happened to me before, I can assure you. It's a very feminine fragrance but it has a depth that I really like. It also has tremendous lasting power which I wouldn't have expected for such an initially floral scent. I buy this all the time now and I really don't like to be without it. I've tried the variants...

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...

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

This melted my rock hard heart!

Advantages: Everything it's lovely
Disadvantages: None at all unless you don't like the scent!

...The one thing I really, really wanted this year was a bottle of Valentino's Rock 'n' Rose. I'd seen the advert and I knew it was going to be my kind of fragrance! Valentino is an Italian fashion designer since 1960. He has a huge celebrity following including, Elizabeth Taylor, Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Gwen Stefani, Lindsay Lohan, and Gwenyth Paltrow. The Packaging.... Well I own the 90ml Rock 'n' Rose Eau De Parfum. It's a round, clear glass bottle with elegant black writing on the front that simply says Rock 'n' Rose and that it's by Valentino in a kind of scribble style of writing. Pinkish liquid you can see through the bottle. It has a silver push down sprayer and over the top a jewel shaped black shaped lid pushes over the top. Mine is quite a large bottle so quite heavy and not...

Review of Valentino Rock 'n Rose Eau de Parfum Spray

Syrupy sweet and smelling of roses

Advantages: Sweet, woody and floral fragrance which stands out from the crowd.
Disadvantages: Highly priced in comparison with other "fashion" fragrances.

...and, of course, the golden Vivienne Westwood crown adorning the stopper. The perfume has now become slightly more "mainstream" in its wider availabilty but still retains its unique and unusual impact. In my opinion, the only downside to this fragrance is the price; ranging from an average of £32 for 30ml to £57 for 75ml, this matches, if not slightly exceeds the equivalent 'Agent Provocateur' ranges and certainly exceeds the same quantities of 'Angel' eau de parfum....
