This is a lovely, very light, very versatile fragance. On me it is initially light, warm and fruity, and it dries down to a more sweet vanilla/fruit and powder scent.You could wear it anywhere, and when I wear enough of it, it gets compliments! Great bottle...excellent quality spray that doesn't blast you.

I like how this product softens my highlighted hair, and adds much-needed shine. Eliminates fluffy/frizzyness, to which my hair is prone, and makes my layers hang straight and smooth, the way they were cut. Huge rave! But whoa, does it smell! Don't use it on dry hair if you don't want the heavy floral scent following you all day and clashing with your own fragrance, should you choose to wear one. I only use it on wet hair, now; it works much better that way anyway, and the scent fades more.

This is good stuff for the price. It doesn't clump too much, and I can control how much goes on my poor, sparse lashes. Nice balance of length and volume.

These cloths get everything off and smell nice - sort of watery-cucumbery. If I use them every day for weeks on end, my sensitive skin gets a bit rough, dry and red, but nothing compared to the blotchy Hell that Ponds version made me.

Fragrances -Givenchy - Organza Indecence

I loved the magazine strips of Indecence, and had to have it. Good choice. It is a lovely, warm scent that is predominantly amber and vanilla. but contrary to the previous reviewer, I can't say that it's fruity or floral. In fact,Givenchy says it's one of the only scents in existence with no floral notes whatsoever. It is not cloying in the least. You have to wait for the good stuff though - because of the musk, it goes on smelling a bit like cat pee at first, then improves with drydown. Definite winter evening scent.

Fragrances -Calvin Klein - Truth fragrance

This scent is great for day or night, especially day, It warms up to a nice mossy vanilla on my skin - a fine reward for my patience, as it first goes on smelling like pumpkin guts. Good for any season, I think. Warning: I am soooo allergic to this one (headache, streaming eyes), but I tolerate it for the unique, warm woody scent that not too many others are wearing.

Fragrances -Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Vanille Abricot

I enjoy this scent. It's so sweet, fresh and warm - not to everyone's taste, but certainly to mine! It seems like most people either love it or hate it. Two points, though. The atomiser requires such a heavy touch that I drown myself in the product each time I use it; it will resist and resist, then, splat! you can smell me a mile away. Also, two people have told me I smell like a pipe. A nice one, mind you....
