Soft and sexy. I don't know if it's been mentioned in other reviews, but on me this smells just like Flowerbomb! If you like that but want to save some $, try Sexual.

Got this at Marahallls for a real good price. It smells very similar to Eternity but a bit more refined. Smells fresh and clean. So if you like Eternity, like me, you'll like this. Lasting power is average, but not many perfumes stick on me so I have to reapply every two hours.

This perfume smells like shampoo. You know, that generic shampoo-y smell you get when you get a lather going in the shower. Floral, a little powdery, and very "clean" without smelling soapy. The floral and clean notes give it an almost sharp feel, although not overbearingly so. This is a Jane Doe scent, not bad, but not very unique or special. I prefer fragrances with more personality, so I don't see myself wearing this much.

I wasn't wild about the name when buying this but gosh what a nice smell so I couldn't pass it up when I found it in Marshall's during the summer especially being that it was just $15 for the big bottle. This is just super clean and a little goes a long ways! Probably smells the best in summertime but would be nice anytime of year. Very long lasting!

I was given this perfume as a Christmas gift from one of my work clients. I would've probably never picked this out for myself. The very first day I wore this I received so many compliments on how great I smelled from women and men. Plus my fiance thinks it smells sexy.
I also love the mini spray design, it looks like a fancy lipstick and will easily tuck into any small evening bag or clutch. The lasting power is very good as well and it has just enough sillage, so it's not overpowering.

This has become my very favourite perfume and my signature fragrance.
This is the first and only fragrance with a vanilla note that I can wear without a raging headache. And the best part? It's a man-magnet. My SO turns into an animal when I wear this, however I don't think he's even aware that it's the perfume.
It opens as a soft, warm floral with osmanthus and honeysuckle, then a slight hint of feminine gardenia and ethereal water lily.
The drydown is where the magic happens. Warm, slightly smoky, gorgeous myrrh, cinnamon and madagascar vanilla mixing with neroli and making the osmanthus even more pronounced and warmly sensual. Then the sandalwood creates a burst of warm, resiny comfort. There's something else in the drydown too, some irresistible animalistic note.
This beautifully blended juice is an aphrodisiac and aromatherapy all in one. All of the Sexual flankers are lovely, but this original is spectacular.
It stays close to the skin, not much sillage, keeping it's mystery. Staying power is fairly good.
A note about dabbing versus spraying - spraying brings out the vanilla *slightly*. If you prefer little or no vanilla, dabbing is perfect. Dabbing also creates more lasting power with this fragrance.
Also, I suspect this might get discontinued soon. It's no longer available in the larger size, and the body lotion and shower gel are no longer sold at The Bay (Canadian department store), although they're still on michelgermain.com

This smells sexy, slightly floral, light - a bit 'retro'. It has kind of an 1980's feel to it (don't ask me why!). It is really unlike anything I have tried before...however it isn't to strange or over the top for daytime or summer wear. In fact, this makes a perfect summer evening scent. There are notes in it that are very pleasing, almost comforting and warm. This is definitely one of the top 5 compliment-getting fragrances I own. I would probably repurchase!

FRAGRANCE NOTES: a combination of exotic florals, cinnamon, myrrh, vanilla and sandalwood.
Very lovely green-floral with oriental tones to it as well due to the spices. I found it to be very longlasting. Could be worn anywhere, its a very versatile scent.

I am surprised at all bad reviews! The name of this parfume says it all - it smells VERY SEXUAL. It doesn't smell cheap at all, and has a very rich palette. I love it and men love it too.

Not sure which version this particular review category is for - there was one in a red box and one in a pink box. This review is for the one in the red box - today it earned its place among my greatest all-time scent disasters. It is thick and heavy and cloyingly sweet with just too many wrong things going on. It reacts on my skin exactly as Tresor and OscarDLR Volupte do - one common element in all these scents goes totally 'off' on my skin and smells plastic-y and repulsive. I must find out what that ingredient is so that I don't have to smell it ever again. Someone in another review likened this to Boucheron. If I remember correctly, Boucheron is indeed similar - I didn't like that one either! I could not wait to get to a restroom so I could wash this off my wrist, and I doubt very much that I will go back to sample the other scent in the pink box. IMO this is beyond vile. No sale. Not ever.

Got this as a gift from Mr. Right, but it seems even Mr. Right can choose the wrong fragrance for me. I agree with the other reviewers who've said that this smells like cheap drugstore perfume. The fragrance is harsh and a little masculine. I prefer a softer, feminine fragrance like SJP's Lovely, floral fragrances like Stella or Yves Rocher's Pur Desir de Lilas (even though the latter is "cheap"), or something sugary sweet like Maison de Vanille's Vanille Sauvage de Madagascar. Still, I have to wear this sometimes, so to "soften" it I layer it with a plain Rose eau de toilette or an olive/aloe body spray. This layering seems to make MG's Sexual more pretty, so I can stand to wear it for the good guy who gave it to me.

I came across this perfume at Neiman Marcus (or was it Macy's, I can't recall anymore, the mall I was had both department stores so I'm confused now). A very pussy SA tried his best to convince me this was the sexiest perfume on earth. Well, it did smell sort of oriental (thus inevitably the "sexy" label) but also really cheap to my nose. Seeing I was not really convinced by his blabla, the SA then made me try Deauville, which even though it is not my family of scent, I found it somewhat classier. I did not buy either and regretted spending 5 mins on these 2 perfumes which I personally find their place to be in a drugstore along with Skin Musk, Charlie and the likes.

I just got a sample of this in a swap and I love it. This exotic fragrance has a bit of spice with hints of cinnamon, vanilla and jasmine. It reminds me of an oil, but subtler and less intrusive.

This scary-sounding scent is in fact a soft, rather conventional and very wearable floral-oriental, in the manner of '80's classics like Boucheron. Smooth honeyed-apricot tones of osmanthus introduce a classic rose and jasmine heart, underpinned by genteel sandalwood. This is the sensuality of the odalisque reclined on silken cushions rather than the garish strumpet that the name suggests. Nothing novel or daring here, but does what it says on the packet.
Notes, if you must: Japanese osmanthus, bergamot, honeysuckle, freesia, clementine, jasmine, gardenia, red rose, neroli, cinnamon, myrrh, vanilla, sandalwood

I came across this at Maison Parfum in London when I received a sample. I find this interesting but disappears quite quickly. Apparently it does the trick as the other review says.
