    This fragrance is such a tease. I wanted to love it because I heart Charlotte Gainsbourg. I also wanted to love it because I'm a fan of violet. However, all I got was lovely candied yet-powdery...

    This is nice on other people but not on me. It starts off similar to Chanel No 19 Poudre but more muted, and then dries down to a warm-ish scent after 5 hours. I know that my skin chemistry...

    I haven't bought this yet - only tested it a couple of times. But I'm pretty sure I will end up buying it. This, in essence, is the fragrance I have been looking for: something that is different...

    This is for the blue-green L'Essence version. I had to spray this twice on my skin. Both times it disappeared within 20 minutes. I was puzzled, so I asked the Nordstrom ladies what is...

    It really does have a pretty, sophisticated violetty opening. However this lasted about 5? 10? minutes on me and then it was just this heavy, dank stinky orientalish chypre that would not let up...

    This fragrance is one of the most elegant that I own. It wafts about you in a sensous way and I feel amazing in it! It's perfect for the office because of the wafting quality but save it for that...

    Wow, wearing this takes me on a subtle scent journey as it morphs throughout the day. My first impression is a nice scent with violets in the top note. It reminds me of FM En Passant in an odd...

    I got a headache within minutes of smelling this thing. Had to wash it off my wrist. It smelled like some really heavy perfume that old ladies wear, but my aunt likes it.

    I waited two days after sniffing and putting on my wrist before buying this perfume. Worth it! It somehow manages to be both seductively engrossing and mysterious at the same time. Wearing it is...

    The scent is meh and very subtle. I thought I would prefer it as a shower gel so I got that. The scent is okay but the bottle is a regular screw top bottle that requires 2 hands to use. Not...

    I can't decide whether I love this or hate it. I can't actually smell it on my wrist ... but somehow I'm aware of it's essence. The fragrance as a whole kinda surrounds you, and gives off a...

    Meh. There's nothing much to sing about Balenciaga Paris, but there's also nothing much to gripe about. I love the theory - a soapy-clean floral with woods humming in the background - but in...

    This is a lovely grown-up non-skanky scent. As others have mentioned, it's got notes of violet and some woodiness in the base, and a lovely creaminess that just makes it so softly appealing. It's...
