    Totally disappointing. Given the scent's name, 'Notorious', I had high hopes - that is until the reviews started rolling in. The poor ratings are completely understandable. First blast was a...

    Somewhere between autumn showers and dignity of tweed jackets, I decided to downsize my gourmand ambitions and try something different. Notorious caught my attention with its super classy bottle...

    Based on the reviews here, I expected to be disappointed with this, and I was. The initial drydown is too strong and very generic perfumey smell. It wasn't bad, but it is definitely something...

    Tomatoes. That's what I get from this - tomatoes. Oh, and a hint of patchouli. Staying power is great, price isn't too bad, but I don't care to smell like 'maters.

    *Ugh* I loved Safari, so I wanted to like this scent. Like at least one other reviewer, I had heard that this scent bore some resemblance. when I tried it, though, I found myself deeply...

    I do not know I where I read it but somebody said that Notorious was somehow similar to Safari (a frag that I adore) so I had great expectations when I could test for the first time this...

    After reading the delicious noirish page on Notorious in October's Elle, I headed right to Macy's to spritz some on. I'd been hoping for something crisper: fresh dark berries, bitter chocolate,...

    I have to begin by saying that I do not have a great "nose" like some of the ladies here (I envy their talent), and a lot of fragrances I like on others smell awful on me. Having gotten that out of...

    I gravitated to the concept of this scent right away. When I saw this new RL sitting on the shelf at Sephora the image of Ingrid Bergman's 'Notorious' character Alicia Huberman immediately flashed...

    NOTORIOUS -- Was hoping this would smell as good as the name implies ! Notorious is a great name. Tried this just yesterday at the mall. Sprayed it on my wrist and waited about 15 minutes. Right...

    The first time I sampled this at a department store, I was really disappointed. I thought it smelled ordinary and so NOT nortorious. I had been on the hunt for a new fall fragrance and was eagerly...

    My husband picked up a Macy's RL fragrance gift set for my anniversary gift -- it contains an ounce or so of five different RL fragrances. I have had good luck with RL fragrances. I've always loved...

    This is a doozy, I would imagine it would have been popular years ago. It reminds me of the fragrances of the 1970s that announced that you were wearing a fragrance. it's not good, it's not bad,...

    This smells nice...but really odd for RL to me. It smells a bit like it's trying to be a Chanel fragrance to me but only passes as a cheap imitator. It has something similar in the middle notes....

    I get a fresh, crisp, clean impression on the opening with this one, then a floral undernote, and a very cool, almost icy impression. The scent warms up on the drydown, and is very pleasant...

    I like this fragrance. It's not so much daring & sexy ....it just smells light and fresh to me. I don't get the "old lady" comments either. I'm 23 and I like it.

    I am really torn on how to rate this. I absolutely love the way it smells. I don't think it is strong at all. This has no staying power. After about 2 hours, I can't smell it on my at all. Since...

    This is marketed with film noir sensibility. I've noticed not a few posts and reviews that scoff at the idea that this fragrance, a soft floriental with cocoa notes, is "Notorious" in any sense of...

    This fragrance is marketed as dangerous and seductive, but it doesn't quite deliver. The opening is sweet fruity-floral, almost aquatic, and the base has a bit of cocoa and that patchouli note...
