Bvlgari Eau Parfumee Green Tea
This is one of my favorite "fresh" fragrances. I really like it when I'm in the mood for a crisp, clean scent. The top notes are tea and citrus, with the subtle florals, spices, and woods emerging through the dry down. It's delightful and always keeps me in a great mood when I wear it. I find it to be soft, smoky, sexy, and clean; in effect, Green tea, but 100 times better! In my mind, the coriander and smoked wood accord are what truly make this scent a standout among other green tea fragrances. I love this scent! This is now a staple of my fragrance wardrobe (I like to try out various scents – surprise, surprise!). I have to say I am hooked.

You really cannot judge a fragrance solely by the name/bottle/celebrity/color/price attached to it.

You really cannot judge a fragrance solely by the name/bottle/celebrity/color/price attached to it. I feel you have to experience it to really know for sure if it's for you (much like another love of mine, wine). Case in point - as soon as I heard Black Star was Teen-Friendly rocker Avril Lavigne's scent, it did cross my mind for a second that it would be sweet, sweet, sweet - and probably not that complex. Well, I was very wrong (see - don't assume!). This is a scent that young teens/younger women (who are her primary fan base) will probably love, but many other women will also love it because it's really good. Avril describes the scent as "edgy and feminine in a fun way", and I have to say that really does capture the essence I got from it. The opening notes of pear were very bright, fresh and clear - which I really enjoyed. There was also a plum note that also came into play early in the scent on my skin, which remained throughout. As time went on I got a bit more of the floral from the hibiscus flower, but mostly it was a light plum/pear mix and I loved it! The dry down is where the "edgy" vibe comes from, in that it's a dark chocolate - which was the perfect mix of sweet and dry on my skin, with just a touch of coconut/vanilla swirled in as well. The lasting power was also very good. While this is perfectly suitable for day time, I also liked it for an evening scent as well. As for the packaging, I found myself loving it more and more the longer I spent time with it. The pink/black color scheme and "studded" effect with the silver geometric cubes is really fun and different. The shape of the bottle is reminiscent of a few other scents I can think of (and probably you can too), but the shape has a nice twist to the idea in that it's a unique asymmetrical star (which also has a different effect if you look at the bottle from a bird's eye view), and underneath the black cap is a studded silver metal piece which can be slipped on and worn as a ring or as a pendant. Cool!

Fresh Citron de Vigne has as lovely a story as I've ever heard. The scent was inspired by Veuve Clicquot's Grande Dame Champagne (one of my all time favorite Veuve's!). Alina Roytberg, co-founder of Fresh, was invited to Reims, France for a tour of the grounds. It was there where she fell in love with the aroma of the grapes, and vines in the vineyards themselves. When she returned, she and partner Lev Glazman captured her memories in this fragrance. This is a scent that actually uses some of the elements of champgne in it's mix. The heart is a pinot noir accord, which is mixed with neroli, bitter orange, pink grapefruit, sandalwood, jasmine tea leaves, lemongrass, pachouli and amber. Upon my first spray, my nose was "prickeled" with this this bold, piercing blend of citrus notes - grapefruit and lemongrass, mixed with the neroli and orange. This opening combination did, in fact, give me a distinct impression of "fresh grapes" which are a little woody, a little green, and sometimes a little tart (as opposed to a "wine" scent). The remainder of the scent was just as lovely. The pinot noir heart was lovely mingling with the sandalwood, amber and patchouli. This is a perfect scent for spring/summer and could just as easily be unisex, which is another bonus. The staying power I would describe as medium, meaning that after about 3-4 hours this will wear a little thin, but it's so lovely I didn't mind reapplying. Fragrance Notes: Neroli, Bitter Orange, Pink Grapefruit, Pinot Noir Accord, Jasmine Tea Leaves, Lemongrass, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Amber.

I know I like the taste of cucumbers, but some of the cucumber scented beauty products that I've smelled over the years just didn't capture that essence for me, so I put the concept of cucumber fragrances in the back of my mind. That is until now. I recently had the opportunity to try the limited edition Marc Jacobs Splash - Cucumber . I was so amazed at how fresh, clean and crisp it smelled - and actually reminded me of how I feel when I eat cucumbers (it's not an exact copy - but rather a really smart and modern scent influenced by the essence of Cucumber). The top notes are very light and refreshing - a watery cucumber and linden flower are what jumped out on my skin first. I got grassy notes as well which were subtle and blended well with the cucumber and flower notes. Perfect for warm spring and summer days. The dry down creates a very pretty, light woodiness which was not powdery or overbearing. It was uplifting and yet comforting at the same time. Since it's splash, this is not a very long lasting scent, but I found that it was great to apply in the morning, the afternoon for a pick up if I was able, and at the end of the day. It's so delightful I loved applying it anyway! If you are looking for something refreshing that is not a citrus or a fruity floral this is perfect. This can be worn on all occasions and will be just the scent you want when it gets super hot this summer and your sweeter, heavier perfumes get stifling. Another plus - the bottle is large enough that you can use it daily and really have it around for a long time. I used it 2-3 times a day for weeks and still have a large amount left in the bottle. You can also use this during the day by decanting some from the large bottle into an atomizer. Since this is a limited edition, I suggest getting a bottle (or two) for the soon-to-be-here warmer days ahead or for your tropical get aways!

LOVE, bracing, energizing scents in the morning - Grapefruit/Lemon/Citrus notes are what I reach for time and time again. Now I've discovered a great drugstore product that gives me all of that AND a bargain that can reach for all the time! Dove go fresh Body Mist, Energizing Grapefruit & Lemongrass Scent is a great, clean fragrance that was not too strong or overpowering - but still bright, clear and noticeable on my skin. I found that the trick to getting this body spray to really have staying power (remember: body mists are really not meant to be long lasting fragrances), is to apply body lotion first, right out of the shower, so skin is very moisturized, then I sprayed two rounds of the mist on my pulse points (wrist, inside elbows, backs of knees). Note: Dove also makes a line of products in this scent which you can also use to layer - body wash, bar soap and deodorant. This is a spot on multi-citrus scent that refreshes and energizes - perfect for spring/summer and also post work out or plane travel. Since it's fairly small it's also easy to put in your purse if you want to refresh at the end of the day - the scent is that lovely that you really will want to -- like I did almost every day!

The fragrance started off with a crisp burst of citrus and peach notes, and then blended seamlessly into the beautiful Petalia element and the other white flowers like Star Jasmine and White Peony. This combination was really lovely on it's own. But where it got very interesting for me was the dry down. The fluffy musk was so warm, powdery, with a sexy feel -- yet so light on my skin, I just could not stop sniffing my wrist! This is really one of the nicest expressions of musk in a fragrance that I have experienced in a long time. The bottle is pattered after a lovely glass flower bud vase and is so elegant. It is shaped to fit perfectly into your hand when applying it. The cap has a top view of a beautiful pink flower as well. This is a perfect springtime fragrance and I can definitely see this also working during the day in the office or for a nice Sunday outing. As you can see, it's "pretty" versatile!"

This scent started out SO bright and fresh and clean, with the Mandarin and Bergamot the most prominent notes on me. It then enveloped me to the point that it made me feel completely uplifted and happy! Next the sweeter, softer more velvety notes like Jasmin Tea, Plum Blossom and Cherry Blossom came up on my skin, which didn't diminish the first set of notes (this is a very common thread in all of his fragrances - they shift and change but one layer of notes does not necessarily "push to the side" new ones). The final composition of the scent really brought out the woody Orris and Oud notes on my skin which were warm, sweet and very sophisticated. This is a scent for a women who is sure of herself, loves something different and can appreciate the Story that Neil is telling with this creation. Because this a streamlined "lighter" scent, on drier skin like mine, I did need an extra spritz or two throughout the day to continue the staying power, but on more oily skins this will certainly last longer. Neil decided to keep his traditional, classic bottle for this fragrance, and it goes a long way to this working for men/women, as all of his fragrances are designed for. .

About six months ago I was sweeping through one of my favorite department stores and came across the tall striking green bottle at the Lancôme counter. I was in a rush, so I simply popped open the top and spritzed myself and quickly left. Within about a minute, as I was walking I got the most amazing sensation – it was the most wonderfully, citrus-y fragrance I’ve ever smelled; lime, lemon, and green tea. Unfortunately, life got busy as it often does, and I never got back to the counter… So when this treatment fragrance came to my desk you can imagine how I felt! This is THE scent of summer to me -- a semi-lotion-tonic-liquid-fragrance which actually cools your skin when it's hot. What is fascinating is that I've never gotten more compliments about a fragrance than when I wear Aroma Tonic. It's a great smell and not overwhelming. I can wear this fragrance for weeks on end and not get tired of it. It makes me feel so happy, positive and alive! This really is the ultimate light, fresh, summery scent! It contains notes of lime, cardamom, green tea, osmanthus and ginger. The tart lime note gives this fragrance an uplifting, refreshing quality. The staying power is better than average for a body spray, I'd say. I can smell it up to three hours after spraying five spritzes. This LASTS and LASTS. I sprayed this on after my shower each morning and by late afternoon I would still smell it. Also, for all you “bottle snobs” (you know who you are), the Lancôme packaging and bottle is simply heaven to look at and hold! It smells divine, but if you're not into green and/or citrus scents, this is probably not for you. Also, if you have dry skin, apply your body lotion/oil before spraying this fragrance all over your body as it does have some alcohol in it which can be drying. Note: A few spritzes of this in a light body oil make an amazing massage oil for yourself or your loved one! Amazing...

This is a delightful fragrance that will not be for every one. Let me explain. Missoni has created a unique scent that lends itself to a “watery” sugary sweetness, which is fresh, but somehow still unfamiliar (Melon & Grapefruit notes). It’s a bright blast off of a fragrance from the beginning, and then settles into a still unusual mix of flowers, (such as freesia and iris). It’s fresh, light and tropical, but because of those opening fruity notes, it may not appeal to those who lean more towards the lighter citrus or oceanic fragrances. The staying power is nice, and as the day went on, I also picked up the bergamot and the muguet. I felt refreshed all day, especially on very hot days. The bottle is simply divine and very much in keeping with the style of the house of Missoni. All in all, this is a fragrance that will stand out, and may push your nose into some new territory – which is always a good thing to me! Note: The body lotion is fabulous as well, and fantastic to layer with. Fragrance notes: Grapefruit, Bergamot, Melon, Narcisse, Muguet, Violet, Blue Freesia, Peony, Tuscan Iris, Petal Jasmine, Sole.

Not only is the name incredibly inspiring – but even at my first whiff I became a believer in Neil Morris and his fragrance creating abilities. Zephyr is a breezy floral with peppy citrus notes that I ended up wearing every day happily. Zephyr begins with Top Notes of Tangerine and Papaya that combine with lovely Heart Notes of Honeysuckle and Casablanca Lily. This combination was bracing and uplifting at the same time. This opening is tempered with the White Tea notes (which I am personally a big fan of). I had so many wonderful experiences wearing Zephyr, and numerous compliments. The dry down is a like a warm, comforting breeze on a beautiful day with Sandalwood, Amber and Ocean Musk. This scent is perfect for day time, church or brunch with friends. The lasting power is very good. On most days I only reapplied once in the evening if I was going out. I especially liked taking mine with me on several trips as it was a great pick-me-up and made me feel fresh and “new” when I landed. What a beautiful, unique creation! I can’t wait to try more Morris fragrances.

It’s fruity, but equally fresh and pleasant. The initial notes on me were fresh peach – but not the sickly sweet and cloying type of fragrance. It is pale, clean and sparkling. This lasted a fair while. Then I began to get the flowery notes, such as tuberose, freesia, white hibiscus, white woods and orris. And it just got cozier and warmer as the time passed. I loved the tuberose in it in particular. This fragrance is for the woman who wants "romantic and feminine" more than "sensuous and seductive". While it is girlie, it is not boring, it is sweet and calm and charming. For example, it’s perfect for church, brunch with in-laws, a wedding, and travel. The lasting power is very good (fragrance oil tends to last longer than EDT). I will definitely layer this will the larger bottle for everyday wear however. The roller ball contains the fragrance oil version of the scent. It is quick drying and not greasy, and I loved how I could pinpoint exactly where I wanted the fragrance to go with no muss, no fuss. No, your eyes are not deceiving you…there is also a lip gloss included, which is a sheer cheery, flattering watermelon/cherry shade which was not too sticky, also had a nice peach fragrance, and looked great on many of our testers as it just warmed up the skin with that nice touch of color. Perfect idea for quick touch ups and travel! This is a very well thought out item with a lovely scent to match! I could not have been more pleased this, which was my first Hilfiger scent.

From the black and white retro but slightly futuristic Diesel ads to the lace netting on the slightly flask-shaped bottle, I was definitely intrigued with the fragrance. It turns out it’s pretty and a little bit naughty, (which is exactly what their ads are trying to get across). I actually didn’t quite know what to expect before my first spritz, as I am usually not impressed by many mainstream fragrances. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this was a fruity oriental, with rich ambery woodsy notes of an oriental, and the sweet notes of honeyed jasmine, and fruitiness provided by raspberry, mandarin, and blackcurrant. I actually love black currant (jams, cookies and even liqueur), but not every company has been able to capture it properly. Diesel has done it very well however. All together Fuel for Life a pretty and feminine composition and the dry down is gingery and sweetly spicy from the patchouli and pink pepper. When it dries down it gets a little softer and a nice sweet soapy scent comes out. The floral notes are warm and very natural, like a garden in springtime. Fuel for Life is a warm, soft scent, a pleasant mixture of fruity and woody. The lasting power is also superb. This is a really pretty perfume. It's going to make a nice winter scent for me this year. It has also been a lovely going out/night fragrance. Fragrance Notes: Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Jasmine, Patchouli, Black Currant, Raspberry, Musk.

The base of this fragrance is Amour, which was a big hit with me last year. This version has been modified. In this version there is less vanilla and more notes of peony, rose, frangipani, thanaka wood, and incense. It’s a completely different take on the fragrance, and but I was still just as happy with this version. This limited-edition fragrance called was inspired by the Indian festival of colors, called Spring's Holi. I love the Indian reference, as this really encompasses a beautiful aspect of the Indian culture which has never been tapped by a major fragrance house. As with the original Amour, I loved the bottle, which in this case is just as striking in shape, with the added dimension of the beautiful blend of fuchsia, red, and orange bottle with gold Indian lettering. Yes, this definitely was an intrigued blend that really captured my attention because at times it read more flowery and others the incense was prominent. It’s still an easy to wear fragrance that’s appropriate for day or night, and will really make you stand out at the same time.

This is one of the freshest, vibrant and uplifting fragrances I have tried in quite a while. To begin with the packaging, I loved the gorgeous fuchsia colored glass bottle at first site. The beautifully gold cut out YSL logo band beneath the stopper is also a glamorous touch I loved. The very first time I used it, it really blew me away. The combination which did this for me was their lychee note combined with the rose. This gave it the edge and uniqueness it needed to really make this stand out, as Rose can at times in fragrances come across as over familiar and without much thought. At first the citrus notes burst though to my nose as well as on my skin, and then the sweetness kicked in (with notes of peony and litchi.). After a short period of time the freesia softened the citrusy sweetness with a pinch of pink pepper, and then I could detect a very mild a rose note and a hint of soft wood. As the day went on it mellowed and mellowed but the lasting power was phenomenal. The fragrance ended up being very mild, and I found that I continually smelled my wrist because of the lovely scent, and even as it mellowed towards the end of the day. What I really loved is the sense I of joy I got from this fragrance. It just made me smile every time I wore it. This scent does not overplay the rose, not does it overdo the lychee. The base is lovely and dry, woodsy but not overly so. This has originality and an olfactory punch. Modern and chic, contemporary and glamorous. The bottle is simple but with a colorful modern-young-glamorous vibe – and yes, even though I’m not a real “pinky” type of girl, I loved that they did a gorgeous fuchsia pink bottle. I Loved looking at the bottle just as much as I loved wearing the fragrance. This makes a perfect day fragrance, and (which also came to mind), a Sunday church/brunch or wedding fragrance, and of course an amazing Valentine’s gift for the fragrance lover in your life!

Lubin created Eau Neuve to capture the feel of that dynamic nonconformist era. I’ve always believed that things that are well built are built to last. And Eau Neuve is just such an example with their reintroduction of Eau Neuve. Now, as was it was then, this is a 'eau fraiche' featuring vibrant accents of citrus and herbs, which was viewed in the 60’s as a dramatic break from the classic perfumes which seemed too steeped in tradition for the Flower Power generation at the time. This is now hands down my favorite new citrus-based fragrance. The oak moss grounds the citric notes are presented in a way that makes the whole composition seem very refined and grown-up. Not just clean and modern, but absolutely elegant and divinely French. The bright citrus notes - lemon, orange and bergamot – blended seamlessly with peppery lavender, chamomile and clary sage. There is a dose of spice and a hint of flowers and a nice base of wood, musk and oak moss. This still feels brand new. That's a perfect way to describe it. It’s fresh. It’s crisp. It’s clean. Yet there is still a lovely softness in the dry down that is quite unique even for today. Unlike some of the overly simplistic Citrus fragrances currently on the market, Eau Neuve has a subtle and complex nature that is completely sophisticated and yes, will make you feel like a “French woman” every day! The lasting power is very good for a citrus (drier skins will have to reapply after a few hours however). This is great for day time, warmer weather and makes an amazing gift for the citrus lover in your life. As always with Lubin, the bottle is equally a work of art, giving the feeling of elegance and 60’s psychedelica at the same time.

In the several years that I have been reviewing fragrances, one of the most important skills I have honed is to be able to truly give a fragrance a chance to “live” on my skin. True, there are fragrances which open with a bang and impress me through and through. Then there are those which open up nicely enough, but the true essence of it can not be fully appreciated until several hours in. I felt 3121 is just such a scent. The fragrance notes in and of themselves are not unusual, (and will truly appeal to those who love gardenia/tuberose), but what sets this scent apart from other white flower-based scents (and some celebrity scents for that matter) is how truly sexy it is and how long the scent lingers. Prince fans may be a little surprised at the “tameness” of the bottle design itself, but I think the purple shade brings Prince’s legendary color to life. 3121 opens on fruity-citrusy floral notes, heavy on the jasmine, and for a few minutes it is both sweet and sharp. The dry down is softer, and while the florals are prominent, the lily of the valley and orange blossom stand out as well, especially in the early stages. The base is a subtle musky wood with a hint of earthiness, and it gets warmer and muskier the longer it is on skin. The lasting power is excellent, and with time the white florals eventually become rather subtle and the musk takes center stage. This perfume is absolutely intoxicating. It is a sexy fragrance...not overpowering. The fragrance lingers long through the day (and night)! The fragrance draws you in, and keeps you there…much like some of his most famous musical compositions (yes I am a fan!

It's one of the best organic brands out there and their green credentials are impeccable when it comes to not only the formulas, but also their packaging, business operations, impact and contributions towards the environment.

Renowned jeweler and watchmaker Cartier has launched a new perfume, a follow-up to their luscious Délices de Cartier* called Délices de Cartier Eau Fruitée. This is a lighter, fruity floral version of the original Délices. The version features a rhubarb note. There is a touch of much white musk in it which works quite well with a fragrance note that I liken to “candy”. It’s a powdery-tart flowery scent that "pops" off the skin in a fun kind of way. This is not a one-dimensional fragrance however, I also detected in it a fresh spiciness which gives it spunk and a classic Cartier character, yet was still casual. This is a fragrance that is convertible enough to work within an active, varied lifestyle and while perfect for summer and hot climates, can also work year round. Délices de Cartier Eau Fruitée is a meeting of two opposites: it's one part "clean" (like a detergent scent), another part "sweet" (fruits and flowers with a touch of vanilla) with lots of self-confidence and a energetic, straightforward attitude--plus this scent traveled easily from day-into-night. Cartier is always glamorous – this is not for a wallflower. As you can also see this bottle is just too beautiful for words. Cartier produces stunning glass creations because this is the loveliest way to showcase this beautiful, worthy perfume creation.

In person it is like your very own beautiful African wood and crystal statue complete with an actual textured glass carving of a African chest piece and a beautiful curvature within the back of the glass bottle…what you also can’t see in pictures is the lovely Massai-like adornment around the neck of the bottle which looks like African necklaces. The fragrance also does not disappoint -- this is intoxicating in the most wonderful way. It is a very inspiring scent--sweet, rich, woody in a wonderful way! It's like nothing I've ever smelled before. (F.Y.I.: my fragrance preferences are for the richly-spicy, exotic and/or citrus.) This scent gives me all of that which I love: warm, sweet, spicy, exotic, woody, boozy, dark. I really love the rum and saffron notes. This is not necessarily for everyone or for everyday - It's a very heady, spicy scent; a sexy and mature fragrance. My husband loves it, and I've received many compliments. The drydown is a different story. I happen to love it. It lasted a long time on my skin. It's also androgynous scent that would smell equally gorgeous on men and women. For the cumin-wary, FYI: black cumin is, not the cumin you're accustomed to in Indian and Mexican food. This is a scent that carries surprises, secrets. It’s such a wonderful gift idea for the person who “has it all” in terms of fragrances. Because of the mix of woody spicy scents here, some may prefer to wear this at night time and/or as a winter fragrance, as strong sun/heat may warm up the rum just a tad too much for some noses, but overall, the Lubin Parfumeur, Olivia Giacobetti, has developed a spectacular fragrance that is at once deep and fresh, spice-heavy but with a sense of clarity

If you have ever had a Mexican Hot Chocolate and inhaled the lively sweet, yet peppery fragrance then you will never forget it. Even if you haven't -- rest assured, this is a fragrance like no other that offers a soothing sweet and then stimulating balance of elements. Chocolate, pepper leaves, chilli pepper and roasted red peppers with black pepper. That's a lot of pepper. Almost too much….But I loved it! I actually was not expecting to like this, but I was really in the mood for something completely different fragrance wise these days. The fragrance is so rich, and yet still light - really unlike anything I have ever tried. The chocolate (it should be noted that this does NOT smell like hot cocoa though; it is more vegetal in character (like the cocoa bean) and vanilla are both dry and barely discernible; they're merely a soft anchor to a lovely pepperiness playing around the edges. All I know is that I love this completely original, groundbreaking scent from the brilliant L'Artisan. It's so unique and most certainly stands out among a crowd and I just feel so sexy every time I wear it. I think it's perfectly safe for work (a little lighter in application that at night I would suggest however). What an amazing accomplishment in fragrance creation. Bravo!

Since I'm an admitted packaging junkie, I was very intrigued with this line from the moment I saw the huge blue dotted arrow on the top of the sleek white jar (for this skin care line blue arrows are for core skin care products and green arrows are for specialty products, which I love and makes products really easy to find on the bathroom countertop too!). The mask is enclosed in a safety seal that I like to see on products to preserve freshness. The fragrance of this mask was the first point of difference. I have simply never smelled anything quite like it. It is a mix of berries and grape but not a sweet, cloying artificial reinterpretation of them. The mask contains many natural elements which are responsible for the fragrance, such as actual blueberries, wild pansies, oats and grapes along with vitamin E. It's a nice blueberry smoothie shade of blue too! The texture is light and creamy and felt so soothing on my skin. I also noticed that after applying a fresh layer of the mask, my skin had a slightly metallic, shimmery sheen to it. It's a soft drying mask, so after the 30 min (when I had it) the mask just sunk right into my skin, giving me super hydration and after rinsing the remaining product, my skin had an amazing glow! I found myself looking forward to using this mask every week (even if I could only spare 10 min with it). This is one of the best face mask products on the market today, hands down. A little goes a long way, so this also makes it very cost efficient as well."

I would classify this as citrusy and fresh. (I’ve used several other mark fragrances and body products and in my opinion, this is mark's best fragrance yet). This is a lighter version of the fragrance, but when I put this on first, it really gave the perfume more staying power. I also loved to spray it on after a bath. I believe this one is in a different league than the last few mark scents. The name Sassy is cute, and the bottle is adorable. The moisturizer is good, but if you have very dry skin you may still need a touch of your favorite lotion on key spots like elbows, knees, etc. I hope they keep this one around for a long time. I've been using it non-stop since I got it and for this to be a dry oil spray, the scent lasts forever. P.S. When I come across clothing that I had on when I wore this fragrance, it still smells as fresh as when I sprayed it.
