On my skin I get woody rose, gorgeous smoky incense and musk. It smells of mystery and it's sexy in its own right. I can picture this worn in a smoky moulin rouge type of atmosphere. I like this one. It has great sillage and it lasts a very long time on the skin.

On my skin I don't get any of the fruit notes sadly. On my skin the water lily and freesia are at the forefront. This really does smell like the sea and sand. Somehow, it smells salty like a breeze right off the ocean. My X-husband and I used to have a condo right on the beach in Avalon, NJ and the breeze was fresh and salty off the ocean and this perfume takes me right back there. This isn't one I will wear very much, but, it's very nice and it perfectly embodies the ocean.

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - Danielle by Danielle Steel
takemyhusbandplz 7/1/2012 8:14:00 PM
On my skin I can smell the musk, the white florals and a sweet orange tinted rose. It isn't bad at all, but, it's not original. It's basically a sweeter white floral than many on the market. I like this one, I don't love it and I wouldn't repurchase it if I run out. The sillage isn't very good and the lasting power is VERY fleeting. It only lasts on my skin meer minutes before it disappears all together.

The top notes reminds me very much of Avon's discontinued Rare Rubies with the warm spices and sandalwood and the dry down reminds me of Avon's discontinued Rare Emeralds with the floral base. I like this one. Though, it's not one I can see myself wearing a lot. It's a more formal type of perfume. It has great sillage and it lasts a very long time on the skin.

Nice spicy and soapy musky saffron is the predominant note on my skin then I also get the cedary florals. I love this one. It's very sexy and sultry. I agree with the reviewer who said this was "clean and sexy, but dirty and erotic at the same time". This scent and Dolce and Gabbana pour Femme are my go-to power perfumes. The one's I wear when I want to feel powerful and confident. This has great sillage and it lasts a very long time on the skin.

Fragrances -Dolce & Gabbana - L'Imperatrice Eau de Toilette
takemyhusbandplz 6/24/2012 8:16:00 PM
Usually, ozonic scents don't work with my chemistry, but, I love this one. The watermelon is the most promient note on my skin, along with the musk, lemon, rhubarb and a bit of musk. What a great summer fragrance. It has great sillage with just one spray and it seems to last quite awhile on the skin too. I'm glad I bought this one. It's really refreshing.

I like this it's sweetened, tamed patchouli, ambery wood and mideastern incense and powder. It's a kind of daytime sultry. It's a bit too tame for a nightime perfume. It has good sillage and the lasting power is quite good. I like the bottle design too, it seems to suit the mideastern tone of this perfume.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction
takemyhusbandplz 6/5/2012 10:00:00 PM
First off, I must admit that I'm not a big fan of aquatic fragrances. Though, for an aquatic fragrance this one isn't too bad. On my skin, I get mostly melon, like a honeydew or cantaloupe and I get a lot of musk and a hint of patchouli and rose. The sillage is poor on my skin, it lies very close to the skin. the lasting power is fair (around 3 hours). While I don't hate this one, I don't espcially like it either. It's okay and I don't see how this one would offend anyone when worn, as it's a very light fragrance. 2.5 stars.

Fragrances -Estee Lauder - Beautiful Love
takemyhusbandplz 6/4/2012 8:01:00 PM
Very, very light tuberose and very weak jasmine are the top notes on my skin. The lasting power is very fleeting, it is gone in around 20 minutes on my skin. The sillage is very faint as well. I wasn't a big fan of the original Beautiful, but, I like it better than this one. Overall, it's just okay, but, the fleeting lasting power doesn't make it one that I will repurchase.

Fragrances -Fendi - Fan di Fendi EDT
takemyhusbandplz 6/4/2012 7:57:00 PM
The EDT, is a totally different perfume all together, than the EDP and has some different notes. I received this in a swap and I have to say I'm surprised that I'm really enjoying it. Usually, most leather base notes (with the exception of Anglomania) don't smell good on me. On my skin, I get mostly bergamot, a deliciously mouth-watering mix of the orange and pear and just a touch of the yellow florals. I don't get noticable leather or jasmine. I really like this one, bergamot is one of my favorite notes and this one is very nice indeed. This isn't a perfume that I'd call complex or sexy. It's a perfect casual scent for summer. I've had trouble finding, just the right casual scent that I really like and I think I've found it. The sillage is modest, I'd say it was a more intimate type of scent, but, it does rise when you are out in the sun. The lasting power seems to be quite good, around 4-5 hours with one spray on my skin

I received this eyeliner as an extra in a swap. I was so surprised, I love this eyeliner. It goes on so smoothly and easily on my waterline, it goes on easier than Urban Decay's 24-7! And it lasts longer on my waterline. This is my new HG eyeliner! Love it.

I have this one. On my skin it's orangy tonka bean. None of the other notes even develop on my skin. I know tuberose isn't listed as a note on this one, but, there's something that reminds me of tuberose in this one. It's nice, I do like it, but, I don't love it. From the marketing I was expecting something a bit more exciting and heady. This one has fair sillage. The lasting power on my skin is very fleeting, perhaps one hour if I really spray it on thick. Overall, it's a good but, not exciting perfume. I wanted to feel like a tigeress while wearing this, after I saw the advertising that is what I was expecting. I doubt I'd repurchase this is I run out, but, it's nice.

Fragrances -Prada - Candy EDP
takemyhusbandplz 5/29/2012 7:39:00 AM
I own this one, and on my skin it's soft caramely benzoin and just a hint of musk. It's pleasant enough and could very well be wore on a hot day. It reminds me of a bit sweeter Flowerbomb without the patchouli. The sillage is minimal with 3 sprays. The lasting power is okay, about 2-3 hours, which one would expect longer with a Prada price tag. For some reason the bottle reminds me of the robot from the old Short Circuit movie. Overall, I like Candy, but, I don't love it. It's nice enough, but, I don't think I'd repurchase it after I use all of mine. It's not overly complex or one that I long to wear much.

Very boozy and spicy and even soapy with lots of depth. I'm on the fence with this one. I like it but, I'm not in love with it. Reminds me of Creed's Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie. They both have that spicy base with boozy jasmine on my skin.
