Fragrances -Alyssa Ashley - Vanilla

Although I absolutely adore this fragrance, it has zero lasting power. I'm constantly spraying myself and this shouldn't be necessary! However, Vanilla EDT is heavenly for the half hour or so I can actually smell it. A true uncut sweet and warm vanilla, no flowery notes just straight up lovely scrumptious vanilla. I would give 5 lippies for the actual smell of the perfume as I love it so so so much but have to cut it down to 2 lippies because of nil lasting power. I LOVE the packaging, it's totally seventies retro, the perfume lid looks like a solid gold bullion bar! Just bought 3 bottles, which I will use up pretty quickly as I'm constantly spraying, but alas, will not be buying Alyssa Ashley Vanilla EDT again.

Fragrances -The Body Shop - Vanilla EDT

I love vanilla perfumes and I'm very disappointed by this one. I'm not going to go on and on about wishing the old vanilla back cos I think if we smelled it now, it would smell too sweet and plastic/eraser like, if you know what I mean! However, I still would prefer to wear the old vanilla to this try hard one. I just don't really like it. It doesn't last on my skin or clothes and it's just not...wow. I don't like the flowery notes in it. i want a straight vanilla as the name suggests. Should be called "a bit vanillary, bit flowery, bit ....... rubbish edt".

Fragrances -The Body Shop - Coconut Perfume Oil

Love love love this fragrance oil, I only wish it came as a body spray as well. I add it to a coconut hair shine mist from Boots and then use it as a perfume to spray on my hair and clothes. Have got so so so many compliments when I wear it. Loads of people comment on it and say i smell like holidays, Bounty bars etc... Can't imagine my life without it! Makes your hair smell lovely too.

Fragrances -Givenchy - Amarige Mariage

Quite like Mariage by Givenchy. Doesn't knock me out or make me want to bathe in it. Like the sherbet like sparkle of it. A good perfume to have in your collection if not to wear all the time. Flowery, sherbet, definite sparkle to it. When I first spray it I can smell Dior Doce Vita, but only for the first few moments. Drydown is good and sweetish.

Fragrances -Kenzo - Kenzo Jungle EDP
mabellucy 8/31/2009 5:45:00 PM
Have worn Jungle Elephant edp for years on and off. I keep going back to it as it's such an unusual fragrance, I don't think there's anything out there quite like it. i've recently become a bit tired of it though cos I spilled it all over my clothes in a suitcase on holiday and my clothes smelled of it FOREVER!!! It's seriously strong stuff so you only need a bit to last you through the day and night. Spicy and vanillary, I love love love the dry down but sometimes can't bear the getting to the dry down bit. Although I have mixed feelings about Jungle I still love it and can appreciate it's uniqueness and knock out scent power. I can definitely recommend it to any perfumista out there!
