Review - Chic by Carolina Herrera for Women Eau de Parfum Spray



Launched in 2002, Chic by Carolina Herrera is ultra sheek and feminine. Chic opens with an aromatic blend of fresh cut florals embrassed with a sensual woody base notes. Contains Madarin flower, orange flower, vanilla, white musk, red freesia and Bulgarian petals. The bottle is contemporarily simple yet abstract with style. 1.7 oz. $60.00 --------on sale at above site for $24.95

I received a generous sample of Chic and have been wearing it off and on for a few weeks. It is a very fragrant blend of many different scents and it bathes you in its luxurious aroma. I found it to be a tad strong at first for my taste, however, it did fade a little relatively quickly and I enjoyed it much more then. I think it has a sophisticated and classic scent which can be worn day and/or night. Again, wear it according to your taste. I prefer a light spray whereas you might like a bit heavier dose. I just happened upon a sale at this web site. . . and that is a pretty deep discounted sale price.

Review - Fragonard éclat eau de parfum


With scintillating top notes of fresh bergamot, zesty lemon and freesia, ECLAT has a glowing heart of frangipane and gardenia all on a sensual yet sweet base of marshmallow.

100 ml refillable spray $ 34.00
200 ml refillable spray $ 50.00

This is the second of a set of perfumes I have been using. This fragrance includes more of those 'notes' that I look for in a scent. Anything citrusy will usually catch my nose pretty quickly. It is a very nice and light scent and I actually love the little bit of marshmallow I caught in it. It just surrounds you with its lovely combination without overpowering you. It does survive throughout the day but it will need to be revived if you want to wear it the same evening. It can go from day to evening very easily and you can give yourself an extra dab for the evening if you feel like it. It has captured my nose for sure. I enjoy the combination of all the ingredients -- it is so captivating. The price seems to be in line with most good perfumes. You can use just a dab or two and be set for the day so this will last for you.

Review - Nanette Lepore Eau de Parfum

Notes: Moonstone Rose, White Peach, White Cranberry Juices, Magenta Nectar, Black Currant, Orange Jasmine, Persian Lime Juice, Velvet Violet, Amber, Indian Sandalwood. Style: Delicate. Colorful. Warm.
1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray $38.00
1.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray $58.00 (Free shipping with this size @ Sephora)

I have been very carefully using a sample of this perfume as I do not want to waste even a drop. This just captures such an amazing combination of scents that I love and the result is absolutely beautiful. It is unique for me as it is the first really nice perfume I have found with Lime Juice. I am a 'lime' nut. I fell in love with it before I even realized it had one of my favorite scents. Don't get me wrong -- I love the other 'notes' in it but the lime just grabbed me. It is a very light scent and it is far from overpowering. I find it to be delicate as they describe it. It does last for the whole day or evening. I would refresh it after wearing it all day if I was going to wear it out at night. Everyone has their own tastes in fragrances but you might want to give this a try. The price is very reasonable for such a gorgeous fragrance. It will last!!

Re: Stila jade blossom eau de parfumview


The delicious jade blossom fragrance is a fresh, crisp blend of green tea, cucumber, and lemon verbena! Each glass bottle is decorated with hand-pressed, dried flowers that represent the floral elements inside. Wherever you choose to spray it, you're guaranteed to come out smelling fresh. 1.7 oz. $50.00

I received a generous sample of this perfume. It is positively a very fresh scent. I would not normally pick a scent with cucumber in it, however, I will make an exception for this one. It is lightly infused with it so it is not overpowering. I do get a little tang of it but I smell the lemon verbena a bit more. Anything with citrus is usually a sure seller for me. Somehow the combination, including the cucumber, is very clean and fresh. It does last throughout the day and can definitely be used for night also. I find it to be a very refreshing fragrance. I did notice that they also have a Mandarin Mist which I would love to get my hands on a sample of. There were other very nice sounding scents to choose from. All in all, I would definitely invest in this scent.

Review - Fragonard Eau de Toilette


Fragonard is a radiant floral fragrance, a delicate bouquet of white flowers – jasmine, lily and honeysuckle – flourishing against a mellow background of amber and bergamot. The very essence of femininity and Fragonard classic.
100 ml refillable spray-$ 34.00
200 ml refillable spray$ 50.00

This is the first scent I have tried from a package of their different perfumes. I think it is very feminine and sophisticated. The fragrance is delicate and soft. It lasts through the day or evening. It is not overpowering or heavy as a lot of perfumes can be. I am a person who loves many perfumes and colognes and I cannot tell you what 'type' I like except to say I do not care for heavy or overpowering ones. I found the mix of the flower scents to be very light and airy. It envelops you in its beautiful fragrance and if you love the flowers in the ingredients you cannot go wrong. The price is just about what you expect for a very nice French perfume. Also, you barely need a few drops so you will have it for a while.

Review - Leiber Eau de Perfum Spray

With LEIBER fragrance, you can feel that special, every day with Italian bergamot, pineapple and mandarin leaf that form a top note with a sumptuous blend of Turkish rose essence and white gardenia as delicate middle notes. Invigorating base unifies vanilla, musk, and amber in this floral oriental scent.

First of all, what a cool looking bottle huh? Second of all, what a complex and difficult fragrance to describe to someone not smelling it! This is a really deep combination of fruits and what smells like roses and gardenia, the combination works great on my skin, although I could see how it could be a little bit tart on some people with more oily skin perhaps. Leiber comes in a really neat looking bottle (above) and has a long-lasting scent that ranges on different skin (I tested it on two friends at work) from very flowery to mild and almost orient/spicy. I really like it, I will definitely wear it probably more often at night when I go out than during the day, but it's very beautiful and would make a great gift.
