    Wow, there really is no one way to describe this scent as the others have mentioned...it is lovely but not for everyone. I feel the first spray is an intense Musk and a sharp note I can't put my...

    I absolutely can't decide how I feel about this stuff! I picked it up yesterday and have yet to decide whether I love or hate it. It's extremely sharp smelling, and sharp is always an immediate...

    I LOVEd it when I first got it- start of summer. I have been using this almost every day and every day I notice less of that metal sharp smell which attracted me to this in the first place and more...

    I tried a sample of this the other day and I couldn't put my finger on what it reminded me off. It was something I'd smelt recently. Then it came to me...Raid wasp spray! I actually don't mind...

    WOW this one is intense, but not in a bad way. It reminds me of what I appreciate about Narciso Rodriguez's fragrances. That's their simplicity. He transfers the minimalist qualities from his...

    I love it I love it I love it. I wish I knew more about fragrances so I could describe this better but "I know what I like". I like slightly musky scents with a light heaviness (wha?) and this is...

    UPDATE: so hubby got me this for our anniversary and I cannot tell you how much I like it! What I like about it is that although it's musky, it's not that cheap, overwhelming sort of musk that I...

    White musk and rose, sort of like...China Rain? Or J. Lo Glow? But with a slightly smoother, softer quality. I love it, personally (I'm person who also loves Kai and Ralph Lauren Blue). It's...

    I can't believe all the negative comments. I absolutely adore this fragrance. It's a beautiful rose with a musky undertone. It's simple, classic and you can smell all its notes. I love perfumes...

    At first I loved this scent. However, after wearing it for a few hours and tested over a few days I find it unbearable. It dries down to an overpowering baby powder scent that is accented with a...

    I just purchased this because I wanted something different from my usual fare of woody orientals and fun fruity florals. However, I am not a fan of NR Her. Anyway, I never seem to gravitate...

    This perfume comes out too powdery on me. I smell like a bad powder when this perfume dries down on my skin. I wish the soft smooth top note stayed there all the time.

    In short: This is the first Narciso Rodriguez fragrance I do not care for. And I really tried to like this! One reason for trying was definitely the gorgeous silver bottle - but the juice... I...

    This is a heavenly scent. I rarely like any scents, most of them are too artificial and overpowering, but this is natural and fresh, yet unique. Reminds me of Masako Matsushita Mat, which I also...

    Bubbling soap + sweet rose = Essence. Based on reviews, I knew not to except too much. I got exactly what I expected. On the plus side, the bottle is simply gorgeous. The man knows how to impress...

    First impression- "Hello, White Linen". So will just stick with White Linen if I want that clean, soapy scent. But Essence has a better bottle though....

    Ugh, smells way too soapy on me. I tried it for couple of days but no, the dry down is always very sharp and cleaning detergentish. I guess my body chemistry and Essence aren't just meant to be.
