I was hoping for a soft, milky almond and vanilla scent, and imagined it would be sweet and comforting. Strenesse, however, is light and somewhat bright, but it is not what I'd call 'soft'. The...

I bought this unsniffed based on the notes and wonderful reviews here on MUA. I am so disappointed in this perfume. I was hoping for more vanilla and almond, but all I am getting is dirty peach and...

Got this based on the suggestions in reviews for Des Filles de Vanille's Toi...Mon Ange to try Strenesse. I can see why--Strenesse has a soft, vanillic, slighty powdery, slightly musky thing going...

From the opaque white liquid, to the simple cylinder thumb imprinted bottle -- Strenesse is an ultra-sexy, seductive scent -- it softly whispers that it wants to touch and be touched. It's...

I'd ordered a small 25ml bottle of this unsniffed, intrigued by the mention of almond milk. And while it's not at all anything I'd imagined it would be, it's a very pretty scent in a very pretty...

I got this EDP for a steal ($13.00), as I had a gift certificate for Amazon that I needed to use by Christmas Eve. This fragrance is captivating and unique. I get more peach and almond, but I...

I received a sample vial of this product today, and must say that the EDP lived up to the intrigue that urged me to try it. Upon first application, there's a hint of the candy-like peach mentioned...

Very unique perfume that provides dark, mysterious depths and manages to stay perfectly wearable and delicate at the same time. Light and darkness as perfectly combined as in a Yin-Yang-Symbol. The...

I bought this unsniffed at an online discount fragrance site. Risky, yes, but for $16.99 for a 2.5oz bottle of the EDP, I figured it'd be pretty painless if I didn't like it. So glad that I did,...

Intrigued by the raves for this "milky/almond" scent, I obtained a sample from a lovely MUAer, and was surprised to detect primarily heliotrope on my skin. It's cooler and less gourmand than I'd...

Everyone keeps mentioning almond milk and vanilla, but on me I smell mostly sandalwood with a slightly nutty edge (almond milk). Not a sweet sandalwood, either: the same kind of dry and spicy...

Being a gourmand fan, I fell for this immediately. Nice milky vanilla base with a hint of almond as well. Sweet so not for everyone. Definitely one I will be adding to my collection

This is a super duper sweet scent which is very similar in many ways to Hanae Mori - although more heady. I like both it and Hanae Mori but would never see the need to own both. It is peachy and...

Gabriele Strehle Strenesse is a beautiful, surprising scent, a true gem. Very soft and feminine and comforting. Comes in a sleek, elegant bottle, the fragrance itself is slighly opaque, milky. I...

Wow, can we say strong? I was overpowered by the vanilla and almond in this fragrance. I like sweet scents, but this one was a bit too much for me. I was hoping it would dry down to a lighter...
