LOVE IT! Initially it's shocking as it is so sugary-sweet and VERY strong! However, it quickly mellows down, and the staying power is superb,,,no need to touch up !
Definitely would repurchase!!!!

I just adore this fragrance. I don't know how I would even begin to describe what notes it has, but it's something I find very unique.

It lasts for a ridiculous long time on me. I'm not complaining because I hate touch ups.

I am about to have to repurchase this, and I won't have to second guess my decision!

This is quite possibly the worst Jean Paul Gaultier perfume I have ever come across. Which isn't easy to say considering he does an excellent job. He knows how to make perfumes that are sexy and fresh at the same time. This one really does smell like nail polish remover. I wish I knew which note is that causes this because it is beginning to become familiar in many perfumes. Seriously. What is it? Something to preserve its freshness, I don't know. Anyways, I wish I could split this one into many little facets for you. But I can't. My nose can't get past the new gym/nail polish scent. It smelled soft and fresh for one second and then this blasphemy came along. I had to return it. However, I've got to say the campaign looked fabulous. Agyness Deyn (I think that's the model's na,e) looked quite edgy in it. She looked fun and stylish and that is what I expected from this. Not eau de Nail Salon (I love my NPs btw, just don't like smelling like one).

I normally dont like perfumes but this definitely is my fav!I actually got a small sample while shopping @ Macy's.I tried it on and my bf loved the smell on me so I ended up gettin a large bottle lol

The smell is unique to me..cant really compare it to a scent defnitely not rootbeer like i read in someone's review though.If i had to categorize it it'ld be amongst the citrus-y slightly flower-y...scents.

I recommend this for girls that prefer body sprays over perfumes.

A really perky scent that's a bit sharp, which I love. Even my boyfriend who don't really appreciate perfume at all likes this one on me. The bottle is perfection too.

A fun, fruity, strong perfume that's suitable all year round. Beautiful bottle.

I am in love with this perfume. Ever since I first tested it I have wanted it. This is one of my faves for sure. I love the staying power and the citrus scent that it gives off. Unlike anything I have smelled before which is good because I like to be different! I can’t believe there are so many bad reviews…

This orange-blossom floral fragrance is a bit too sweet for me, but a spritz or two in the morning dries down nicely by mid-day. I love the cute bottle and lasting power, but am not a big enough fan of the fragrance itself to buy again.

Somewhat feeble lemon cupcake with somewhat bitter vinyl-neroli icing. Not really sweet, thankfully, and wearable, but not compelling in any way. A very young crowd may find it witty. Not heinous, but no more than competent. Lovely bottle!

I am truly perplexed as to all the bad reviews for this one. This is a fruity-floral-citrusy fresh scent that lasts all day on me, which is a rarity in this scent category. I don't see this as a youthful fragrance, either. That is, unless all the lively and delicious scents are reserved only for twenty-somethings. I would describe this as a more fruity, floral and complex version of Light Blue. Or a cousin of Burberry's The Beat in that it is similarly zesty, sexy and delectable. However, Ma Dame lasts all day, unlike The Beat. My husband even commented on this scent last night when I was wearing it...he said you smell goooood!!!

And the icing on the top of the cake is that this perfume is not as popular as say, Coco Mademoiselle. At least I can smell somewhat unique. And delicious. I love this perfume!

I'm a big fan of Jean Paul Gaultier's fragrances so when I saw this perfume at a discount store for I think $20 I had to get it. All in all worth the money. It's a more of an up beat fragrance, and it wears nicely through out the day. This smell is for someone youthful, it's not a classic smell that you could wear into your 30s. I love the bottle! It looks great next to the many other perfumes I have. Though I don't think I like the sent that much to buy it again at full price.

With all the bad reviews I had to write a good one, in my fragrance collection this one is great it's optimistic ,zesty , fruity, and then more floral that really lifts my spirits in this dreary winter time! I think the staying power is great for an edt and I am happy I gave this one a chance! It is really wonderful!

I really like this. I could not wear Classique but I can wear this. When I first sprayed this on..I had visions of an afternoon sunset in some remote exotic location me getting ready to go out for cocktails and then being ready for anything after that. It gives you a good feeling that when you wear this good things are about to happen and I like that.

I'm only sorry I didn't buy the biggest bottle. But I'm happy with the 50ml I got.

I really like this. I first smelt it in a cosmogirl! magazine last year and fell in love with it. I got it actually, at t.j.maxx for $30! And it was the big bottle too! It smells very fresh and floral. I like it a lot!

I can't say that I am fan of this one, but my 11 year old daughter loves it. It's smells like a very synthetic musky neroli, that is very strong to boot, like the scent of fabric softerner or furniture polish. It is also quite linear and therfore boring (I prefer something that develops as you wear it). All in all, a bit of a let down after Classique and Le Male, but I wouldn't mind using a Ma Dame furniture polish.

Fragrance bottle comes in an awesome package, something ive never seen before. Reminded me of a rip-and-tear box top. Anyway, the fragrance i initially experienced first on a little tester strip, i really enjoyed. However, now that i have used it on myself i find it to be quite over bearing and now unwearable. So now it sits on my bathroom counter and i probably will never use it again - far too strong. yikes!

The SA at my local counter told me this was very similar to Hypnotic Poison, but with a ginger note. I bought it because I couldn't find anything else particularly appealing, and I love the cool bottle. BUT- I didn't get anything even remotely HP about this... it started off overly citrus and sharp... softened to a little bit of sugared almond (almost Burberry Brit-like) then turned into something hideous like stain remover or something I can't quite put my finger on. It definitely smells like something I've cleaned with! I decanted the whole bottle into an old avon bottle for a friend who loves Ma Dame, and keep the bottle filled with water with my other babies :)

EDIT: Smelled this on my friend the other day... I shouldn't have given it to her, and I've figured out what the horrible smell was. If you've ever smelled Revive carpet cleaner, contact them for the fragrance. It'll save you $120NZD.

I don't like this at all. I can't pinpoint what kind of fragrance this is. It just smells awkward and it was so strong I tried to scrub it off my skin. It smells very chemically. Well, it's not bad but I definitely wouldn't wear this.
