One of my first fragrances

I remember being over excited as a teenager unwrapping my first bottle of perfume from santa, the bottle seemed huge at the time. The smell is very earthy with some oriental spice undertone, it was on the cheap side so seemed to lack the body that other more high market perfumes have meaning it wore off pretty quick, this is why I don't wear it nowadays.

old fave

I used this perfume for a good 4 years before changing it (was ready for a change) and I always loved it. It wasnt too strong but lasted all day, its a warm musky rose smell.

Tips: A single spray is sufficient for a day.

Floral & Fresh

I absolutley LOVED this fragrance (and still do) however I have kind of grown out of it a little so most probably wont use it again. Price tag is fantastic, you can pick it up at the Warehouse for not much at all. It is a really sweet floral scent that I love, but it can be a bit overpowering if you use a lot of it. It also doesnt stay for very long, I got a coupld of hours of wear out of it but for the price tag - who can complain?

Tips: Dont need to much, as it is strong.

Suits the name 'Red'

I bought this perfume blind because I liked the sound of it. At first it seemed too much - a loud floral. I put it away for a while and then tried again. I smelt roses and honey and now I love wearing it. It's a very comforting perfume

Given to me.

This was given to me many years ago by a friends mum who wore it religiously. I would always comment on how much I loved it and she gave me a bottle for my birthday.

At the time I loved this fragrance. It is a really girly scent that is warm and inviting. This lasted all day on my skin when I wore it (although to be fair I basically bathed in it).

As an adult now, however, I really dislike the smell of it. I can only surmise I don't like it just because I wore it SO much during my teen years, and I got sick of the scent.

I think the price for this is incredible and it is a really great perfume for someone that is just getting into fragrances, or for someone who wants something more than a body spray but who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a fragrance.

Perfect for Nights Out!

I have been wearing this perfume for almost a year now ever since my grandma gave it to me and I absolutely love it! For starters I still have 3/4 of the 50ml EDT bottle left. This is a really affordable perfume

However as by my title you can see that I only tend to wear this perfume when I go out at night or if I am going somewhere special. It is quite a strong scent so I wouldn't recommend that you mix it with fruity smelling moisturizers.

For me the notes that I can smell strongest would be; Top notes ; orange blossom, violet and plum; Middle Notes: Jasmine and ylang ylang; Bottom Notes: sandal wood, musk and cedar. This makes it a very warm scent which is why I tend to use it more at night.

The scent also lasts for quite a while but I also tend to spray a bit on my clothes and a little bit in my hair. I never reapply this as it intensifies the scent way too much and starts to smell terrible. However, I do quite like the effect of the fade in smell as it just creates a bit of mystery of whether its a natural scent or perfume, yet the perfume is obviously still lingering leaving a that warm musky scent.

The packaging is very unassuming and not really something that stands out. You could say it is quite sensible as it sits flat on your dresser and you don't need to have a special stand for it. The triangular shape also means it can fit into corners well which is quite good if you don't have much room. As I didn't buy this for myself the packaging had no influence on my purchasing of it, however if I had of bought it for myself there is a high chance I wouldn't have bought it due to its rather plain packaging.

All in all this is a really affordable perfume and I would definitely buy it for myself again in the future, but maybe in the 10ml bottle as I do not use it everyday.

Tips: Don't mix scents with anything that doesn't complement these warmer notes.

Cheaper version of Giorgio

On me this smells like a mixture of the original Giorgio beverly hills and the carpet shampoo they use in hotels - that fresh yet chemical smell that hits you when you enter a freshly cleaned industrial building. I actually wore this on and off for years as a teenager along with the rest of the charlie line, recently repurchased for nostalgia and really wish I didn't - it is horrendous on me and perhaps I just didn't realise it all those years ago! Unfortunately this is not the scent for me!

Tips: Try before you buy!

Fab for the price!

This was the first perfume I ever bought as it was so cheap and I was very young.. I tried it at a local store and wore it for the rest of the day before buying it to see if it suited me :)

It's a very strong smell so I only use very little at a time which makes the bottle last even longer!

Would definitely use again, but not as often as I used to as I'm getting older :)

Tips: Only use a small amount as it's very strong! Also, don't pair with any other scents as it becomes overpowering and the scents mixing can just smell plain funny sometimes!
