The Etc Etc of Perfumes & Fragrances

That's what good about them, from the names of the scents you wouldn't expect for them to be strong - when I heard about I Love Love I thought it would be a soft, romantic perfume but it's more than that, it is romantic and soft but also tough and sweet in it's smell.
 
Really want Madame by Jean Paul Gaultier, smells fresh and yummy. Or Chanel no. 5. And that Angel one that Naomi Watts advertises is really nice too. There are so many...if i was a rich girl...!
 
Anyone have any suggestions for me? My BF is buying me perfume for Xmas and I can't decide on a scent! I've been using YSL Baby Doll and I think I've gotten sick of it already and I'm only halfway through it. I really like sweeter scents kind of like RL (but I'm 22, don't want that- way too fruity), something a bit more sophisticated but still fun and sweet (strawberry or something).

TIA!
 
^I would suggest CH by Carolina Herrera. It's pretty youthful and sophisticated at the same time.
 
I bought Nina Rici "Rici Rici" for mom's Christmas present.
 
Does anyone know where I could get Marc Jacobs pear? I want another bottle :heart:
 
I'm buying myself Miss Dior Cherie in the next few days :) I am in love with this perfume, it's sweet but not sugary and it has a warm powdery smell to it that makes it romantic without being heavy and musky.
 
I just git that as a Christmas gift from my boyfriend in the EDP. It is wonderful smelling but I'm not sue if it's my body or my nose but it smells slightly masculine after a few hours - which is fine since I like that kind of smell.

He liked it the most as he said "it was like a mix of Flowerbomb without being so sickly and in your face" which is true, FBomb is quite sickly but in a good way.

Yees, me too, but only edt, when I was wearing edp I got such a strong headache!:blink:
Well, I had it, it was on the shelf and then my bf broke it :cry:(it fell off when he was doing I don't know what:lol:).
 
I have noticed that Daisy and Mochino's Hippy Fizz smell much better in winter time. In the summer they felt not so special but when real flowers goes away, they can shine. Lovely. I really have cared about winter/summer perfumes before but maybe some works better different times.
 
^with Chanel no5, despite it being such a classic and all, i can hardly wear, because it's so heady and musky. but really lightly with a flower extract/rose water, i think it can be pulled off really well. and that's the only way it can work in the winter, because the air needs something fresh and floral.
 
I bought a bottle of A*men Pure Coffee. I was looking forward to a nice coffee smell, but I don't get any coffee out of it.. :huh:
 
Does anyone wear L'Eau Ambree by Prada? I love it, got it for Christmas. :wub:


From neimanmarcus.com
L'Eau Ambree combines an intricate and fresh approach to the balancing of the notes of cedrat, rose de mai, and amber.

The Sicilian citrus top note of cedrat is refreshing yet rich, giving an unexpected grace and balance to the fragrance.

At the heart of the fragrance is rose de mai. Buttery, light, and above all sensual, it is the essence of femininity.

The base notes consists of an evocative ambery dry down based on patchouli, vanilla, and opoponax.
 
Ungaro & Avon will launch the second fragrance for women (50 ml EdP) sometimes in February/March/April 2010 - U by Ungaro Fever :flower:

New Celebrity Fragrances

Beyoncé - Heat

o.10251.jpg


Heat is the first fragrance by attractive and talented Beyonce and it arrives on the market in February 2010. Name of the fragrance was inspired by Beyonce's tour and performances. Colour of flacon and liquid was chosen after Beyonce's favourite colour – red, with a wish to look like fire with antique details.

Beyonce's temperament was depicted through the whole concept of the fragrance, from name and design to composition created in cooperation with perfumers of the house of Givaudan - Claude Dir and Olivier Gillotin. Top notes of Heat are decorated with red vanilla-orchid, magnolia, neroli and peach. A passionate heart offers honeysuckle, almond and musky cream, while a base finishes with sequoia wood, tonka and amber.

Even though Beyonce is advertising face of perfumes Diamonds Armani and True Star Tommy Hilfiger, she says that her first fragrance, Heat, represents herself. Her wish is that her first fragrance stands for everything that makes her and that she is content with the final product, without worrying about deadlines of work on the perfume. "This is my first fragrance and I want to be sure that I will love it forever! " - stated Beyonce for wwd.

Fragrance Heat was created in an antique glass flacon, just like Beyonce wanted. She coloured it in red nuances which remind of flames transforming into burning orange. Fiery and sexy, just like her, the flacon is decorated with a discrete gold detail on neck of the flacon with engraved name of the fragrance. Assortment of Heat perfume includes 30, 50 and 100ml EDT, along with a 200 ml golden lotion.

Advertising campaign was made by photographer Michael Thompson, while video commercial was directed by Jake Nava. Face of the advertising campaign is Beyonce Knowles, of course.
