A really elegant, wonderful and feminin scent with flower and vanilla. The bottle is a bit boring though, I like elegant, beautiful bottles which really doesn't have anything to do with the content, I know:) This perfume is hard to get though, it's only sold at airports what I heard, but of course you can get it at Ebay, as usual. Since the scent is either heavy nor too light, you can wear it both day and night.

Why is this LE? I love this scent!!! It's a very sweet blackberry scent with what seems like Ice Cream Soda :p It might be a bit overpowering for those who like more musky or spicy scents, but I like it because it's one of my few scents that really last all day. Thinking of trying what another viewer does: layer it with a vanilla scent. But the only place I can get it now is on auction sites...meh. The next best thing to this is probably BBW Black Raspberry and Vanilla.

This was LE, but you can still pick it up here and there. I've never smelled anything quite like this one and I love it. I ended up with this because it was in a multipack of JuicyTubes that I wanted; I fully expected to hate the fragrance. As soon as I spritzed this I instantly liked it; this is a scent that suits me perfectly and one I would have purchased anyway, had I known how it smelled. I'm not sure why the people who dislike it also feel the need to bash it, but we all need a hobby. I can tell how this could remind someone of Miracle, but it doesn't smell the same as Miracle at all. This is a floral oriental that works well--the floral and spicy notes work together rather than overpower one another. To me, this is sweet and slight, adult but playful. It lasts a long time on my skin without slapping everyone around me in the face with my fragrance--to smell it, you have to be right up close to me.

Notes on this one are wild roses, hibiscus and magnolia, black currant buds, wild blackberries, light whipped cream, vanilla and patchouli. I dislike rose, but can't smell it in this fragrance.

Like I said in my review for Miracle, I'm not one for Perfumes I prefere Body Sprays/Mists, but this is another fav! I love sweet smelling stuff & this does it for me, I don't find it overlly sweet, its just right. Lasting power is terrific!

No offense, but Connexion was so sweet & heady on me that it was actually gag-inducing. Similar to those candy hearts you get on Valentines day mixed with pure maple syrup.

I love how different from other fragrances this one is... It's just enchanting!!! There is something soft and lingering about it that is perfect for those sensual moments... It's a fragrance like a meditation - it has a power to be still and a power to create, a power to dream and a power to invent! I just love the color of the bottle as well - it too reminds me of meditation. There is something magical about it in a very quiet, mystical way... Simply enchanting

Not unlike Lancome's "Miracle". If you like "Miracle", then it's likely you would enjoy Lancome "Connexion". Yes, tends slightly towards the sweeter side, yet I don't find it sickly sweet at all. In fact, it's incredibly pleasant, inoffensive, feminine and fresh. To me, it's Miracle topped with cream (if that makes sense?).

I actually like this. It's slightly on the verge of being too sweet, but it's something that I could probably wear everyday. Too bad it's limited edition.

I ordered this online and read the reviews after the fact. I was prepared to hate this after I read all the poor reviews but I was happily and pleasantly surprised! I really LOVE this; smells like blackberries and whipped cream like the description said. I was intrigued by the description I went ahead and bought it; boy am I glad I purchased first and read the reviews last. I would repurchase if possible but I think this is a limited edition.
EDIT: I wore this for a couple of days and it started getting to me; almost made me gag on the sweetness.

addictive smelling perfume.. This reminds me of something from the late eighties or early nineties..dunno what tho. I was kinda shocked when it was 40 $ for a tiny bottle!! The scent is lovely but disappears too soon..I was happy when I got a botle for 15$ including shipping! Yay! Alas..Its not something that will be my everyday scent

UPDATE:
I am giving this a 3 (wish it could get 3 1/2) now; it doesn't last all that long, and the drydown is very average and boring.
***
i have no idea why this gets poor reviews. sweet and creamy vanilla, zesty blackberries, and some floral that has a lily-like edge. i don't know about the staying power yet, because i only just put it on 1 hour ago. very unique, IMO, and not for the teenage mall hoppers, as lancome and some reviewers suggest. it is not too sweet since the blackberries are zesty, and the floral edge isn't sweet either. this is one hell of a pretty perfume, and it is not too sweet for everyday use. try it before you knock it.

I will start by saying that I suck horribly at describing scents... So I will just state that I adore this perfume, and it lasts all day (on my body chemistry). I layer this with Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar and get sooooo many compliments on it... My fiance told me this is his favorite that I wear, not strong, just sweet & "pretty" smelling... (I don't really know what he means by "pretty," smelling, though... I don't question it... just wear it. LOL!)

It is not so sweet to make you sick to your stomach, though. I actually think the vanilla in it plays the sickly fruitish (I think blackberries maybe?) smell down a lot...

I wish this was not LE, because it would definitely be my signature scent!!

Smells like zesty blackberries with vanilla cream. Not so berryish that it smells like jam (as Bath&BodyWorks' new Black Raspberry & Vanilla is IMHO - it's very jam-ish). Connexion contains floral notes mixed with the berry & vanilla, which keeps it smelling like perfume - yet front & center are the blackberry & whipped cream notes. I find Connexion to be quite nice for a change - a nice change of pace. Vanilla is my favorite note, and although I'm not big on fruit notes, I do enjoy having a purple-fruited perfume in my collection (like a plum or blackberry) - and this is a nice one for that. I took off 1 lippie because it's a little rough around the edges (maybe it's the way the fruits & florals come together) - wish the note blending was a bit smoother - yet overall quite a delicious perfume.

I really like this. I smell vanilla and blueberries, with an earthy-spicy undertone which keeps this from smelling like a little girl. I give it four stars instead of five, because it doesn't make me swoon.

This is definitely a spicy floral fragrance. I HATED this at first, but this actually grew on me. I don't gag everytime I smell this now. (I know, what a ringing endorsement ;) This is very obviously trying to appeal to teens and college-aged girls and the packaging and collatoral looks so cheap. It reminds me of a fragrance Debbie Gibson had in the Eightie's called Electric Youth. This is not for a sophisticated fragrance wearer, she'd be happier with some more grown-up, less treacly, options.

I love this scent, but it doesn't last very long. That's my only gripe about it. Probably wouldn't buy again myself but I'll try to swap.
