Wow, what a powerful scent! I absolutely love this. Incense is one of my favorite notes to wear and Encens Tranquille is remarkable. Strong, only a dab will do ya! Very long lasting too. I'm very impressed with this. Will be an absolute favorite this winter

Love love love this e/s. The color is perfect for my blue eyes and red hair. It goes on velvety smooth w/ a hint of frost, not overdone here. I wear it alone and It is my new everyday color. Must try out other UD e/s now!!

Fragrances -Thierry Mugler - Angel Violet

Love it! I absolutey am a fan of most Thierry Mugler scents I have tried and honestly I was weary about trying this one. This one resembles the original Angel mostly (so that's a thumbs up) but it does have a twist with slight floral. I love it. Could wear this very easily this winter...

Wow, I'm shocked there are so few reviews for this. I'm sure it's been around for awhile?? I just applied a sample of this and it's very nice. Soft floral with nothing cloying and no instant headache! It's very nice and FB worthy! Must seek this one out, it doesn't smell anything like Arpege to me (which I found outdated) but this is very fresh floral.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Cherryblossomdiva - Berry Juicy
rated 4 of 5
essija 9/3/2009 11:56:00 AM

I must say that I don't own the original Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, but from what I remember from spraying it at Sephora, this is pretty close. This isn't your typical sweet fruity scent. It's really good smelling, Deep, Dark Berries in this one. The staying power is Fantastic and though I'm not crazy about Roll-ons, I am getting lots of compliments on how good this one smells..

Fragrances -Christian Dior - Escale á Portofino
rated 4 of 5
essija 9/1/2009 10:46:00 AM

Crisp Citrus in the beginning, then it fades to a light, fresh, smelling scent. Wish It lasted longer, but love the mood it puts me in, Uplifting and energetic. Can't go wrong with this scent, perfect for warmer weather..

Fragrances -Hermes - Un Jardin en Méditerranée

Sharp green citrus on me. I'm still on the fence with this one. First time I wore it is was perfect, but now I get more of a masculine feel from it. I do like it, but I think My taste has changed a bit. Still going to use up my decant but not sure I would purchase??

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - The Different Company - Bois d' Iris
rated 4 of 5
essija 8/13/2009 11:36:00 AM

Bois d' Iris is a burst of fresh air. The Iris feels so right in this one. The Vetiver makes is slightly masculine and easy to wear. I would wear this all year round, but right now in the Hot Summer, it's beautiful. It has that TDC base (remindig me a lot of SDV) I enjoy this one much better. Crisp, Fresh, and the Floral here is dry, not powdery, and I like that.

This smells a lot like Angel but lighter! Perfect for those who love Angel but can't tolerate how heavy it is in the summer. Get this...

Fragrances -Ormonde Jayne - Ta'if
rated 5 of 5
essija 7/23/2009 9:40:00 AM

This smells so much better when barley applied. I had tried it the first time and didn't get this much sexy rose as I did when I only put 2 squirts on. This is a rose for non rose lovers, b/c I honestly don't like rose, but this is great! Thought Champaca was my favorite, now I must reconsider...

Very Green in a Pine sorta way! Nice scent but not for me, I would never wear this, I wouldn't mind a man wearing this occasionally but not pretty enough for me to wear.. Great name though!

Fragrances -Guerlain - Insolence Eau Glacee
rated 4 of 5
essija 6/16/2009 3:45:00 PM

I too agree with all the other users that Eau Glacee works so much better on my skin than the orginal edt (still have not tried this in parfum/edp). The Icy-ness really turns it up a notch for me, I love it, and will be finding me a decant soon!

Fragrances -Des Filles à la Vanille - Je t'Aime
rated 3 of 5
essija 6/13/2009 10:51:00 AM

I have no idea how much this cost nor what the bottle looks like, but I rec'd a sample in a swap and I do agree that it does smell a lot like Lolita Lempicka, but with more berry. More sweetness, and I Like that. This would be the perfect summery sweetness scent. I would buy this..
