I love the black swan, and have since I first borrowed a squirt of my mom's friend's in the early 90s. I wasn't sure *why* I liked it, it wasn't pretty, or floral, or fresh, or even advertised that...

I was very fortunate to find a bottle of this - the original black swan bottle - on Nordstrom.com. (It is now available in a new bottle version at Bergdorf Goodman - I think same formula.) This...

I wore this when it was first launched but stopped when my nose tired of it. I tried to go back to it off and on over the past decade because I still had a large bottle in my closet but my nose...

This fragrance is too sophisticated for me. It is a complex, expensive smelling blend, that is pleasant, but belongs to someone much wealthier than I. I prefer light, fun, foody or fresh. This is...

I loved this perfume but gave it up due to how horribly the bottle is constructed. I ended up returning 3 different bottles as they kept falling apart and being hard to use. It's a shame.

I personally didn't like this fragrance. I thought the scent was too strong and undescribable. I know it's very popular with many people, but I don't see what all the hype is about.
