I just got this because it’s on clearance at the myboyfriend site. It’s like Boyfriend except the dry down is to a lovely jammy tangerine and cucumbery scent. And while it is strong on the patchouli, it disappeared when it finished. Boyfriend leaves a long lasting scent and dries down to a gorgeous warm vanilla. I really like this so I bought 4 bottles for one third the price of Boyfriend! I can save for Boyfriend which I adore so I’ll be buying that too. Just love the whole idea of the line.
tosya0411 – :
Fisrst of all…IMO…I don’t get the …smells like Forever Krystal….???…maybe…maybe a little when it drys down fully. This scent is reto-style to my nose..very 90’s. I get some freshness/citrus…and the a citrusy-gardenia…with a dash of animalic tone thrown in too. I find it…smooth…for some reason. And it has decent sillage/projection. It is not a “OH Wow” scent,but it is a likeable scent for sure.I find it different than what is currently out….so just a couple points given to it for “uniqueness”.
antec – :
I have cool skin. I love this perfume. I get a citrus, fresh opening…that dries warm…with a fantastic soft gardenia. It’s beautiful.
alextop – :
I have to disagree with whatever bad reviews are here…Billionaire Boyfriend is an incredible fragrance! It smells fresh and very feminine, and RICH! I can picture a woman on a yacht in a white gown going somewhere with her well to do boyfriend and wearing this. I can also picture this at the opera, or dressed down with a pair of boyfriend jeans 🙂 I love the scent of this! It’s chic! Nothing old fashioned, nothing heavy, definitely nothing cloying. Just a great scent!

Not a typical celebrity perfume, sophisticated, soft and lasting.
Entrada – :
Which billionaire boyfriend was k.walsh referring to? This is the disgusting version of how nannies who spray the wrong perfume smell. I only bought for love of Marypierre the perfumer. This is stale and smells old.
chechen_austria – :
I’m smelling some white florals, especially gardenia, done in a very accessible way (not over the top, or flamboyant, or soapy, heady, or headache/nausea inducing), plus a bit of unlisted musk.
I see comparisons to Bvlgari’s Jasmin Noir, but I disagree. It actually brings the BLV family to mind (Bvlgari Blv pour Femme and both the men’s and women’s Blv Nottes). It isn’t BLV, but the musk/floral accord smells really similar to me. I’m not sure who the nose is for this. It does seem to have Bvlgari DNA.
I do seem to smell the orchid, which is funny because I’m not sure what orchids really smell like, but it “seems” to smell “like it has orchid” in it. I also detect a bit of amber and maybe patchouli, but I’d never have thought patchouli would be the second-most voted note.
I’m not sure why that blue “dislike” bar is so long, but I think it is due to a bunch of original Boyfriend fans who were outraged by a flanker that doesn’t bear any resemblance to that cult favorite.
Incidentally, I’m a fan of all the notes in Boyfriend, but I find that composition to be just so-so. I’m less of a fan of these listed notes, and very leery of anything musk. But I find myself liking this one quite well. Of course, it helps that Bvlgari is one of my favorite houses.
This perfume is found cheaply on ebay. I bought mine for $6 including shipping. If you like Bvlgari, enjoy the listed notes, and are NOT expecting another original Boyfriend, this is probably a safe blind buy.
FFNIK – :
This is gorgeous. I’m not really into patchouli-heavy scents and I find this incredibly addicting. Sweet, deep, earthy, and yet surprisingly wearable.
kariesx – :
This is a fragrance that takes you on a sensual, dark ride through a lush exotic place at night. I’ll admit, when that raw black jasmine hit my senses I was a little afraid of it, but I also felt it turning more pleasant every time I caught another whiff. Very mysterious and beautiful in a strange way.
A little bit sweeter after 20 minutes, then the jasmine is in full bloom, supported by the warm amber. Then, a little later, it’s really the patchouli/creamy gardenia show as the jasmine steps back and things get a little softer and fuzzier.
There is one phase where you can actually visualize the florals and patchouli sort of almost wrestling with each other, almost vying for first position. I like to experience the transformation and the dry down phase, which is leafy green patchouli-ness.
This is gorgeous.
P.S. Shockingly, this was $2.99 for a .5 at Burlington. How is that possible? And it does smell like Mariah’s M, somehow.
Update: I agree with Nirvana1, this is absolutely a sassy twin for Jasmin Noir with perhaps a bit more patchouli in the drydown.
bibiks1 – :
I love this scent, it’s masculine in a spicy warm way with a floral bouquet that smells expensive. I prefer the original boyfriend because it leans more sweet gourmandish and this is more floral but in a robust and dark way. I really do love it though and get compliments on it. It’s one of my favorites of my limited floral collection and I don’t go for florals usually. It’s discontinued so get the last of the ones available when and where you can. The actual boyfriend site had some of this left and that is where I ordered mine.
I think this is a scent for a confident person and it gives off good taste and safistication.
The name and the bottle design are so cheese ball and it’s only downfall but the scent is very well executed. In the top of its kind and for a decent price.
литва – :
Got this for a steal Blind Buy 10$ for 1.7 ounce off Ebay. Lovely Smell! Reminds me of Jasmin Noir EDT! Happy with my new fragrance!!
cpl740InsuffBooni – :
I hesitated to buy this, despite loving a sample, because the gold-diggery name and the bottle design seemed so tacky. But I am in love with the actual scent, and found a really good sale on this and the original that helped me get over my reservations. Amber works really well on me, and this is no exception.
lordipi – :
This scent is very reminiscent to Narciso Rodriguez EDT in the black bottle. The note pyramids are very similar!
erik012 – :
I have the roller ball and it smells great. Although for some reason it smells like an old lavender vanilla, or jasmine vanilla Body Shop or Bath & Body Works fragrance.
It’s creamy and smooth, a relaxing and somewhat sophisticated fragrance. I get a vigorous dose of Jasmine With an underlying gardenia. The patchouli makes it sophisticated.
I Really Like this. I tend to go for more tart fragrances that feature rose or peach or peony. But this is both crisp and warm. Or reminds me of a windy late summer day.
Love it!
aisman – :
I’m in the minority, I like this more than Boyfriend. I have the oil so I’m sure I’m not getting the top notes like an alcohol blend. To me, this is an amber and patchouli scent much like Prada Amber (in style) but this is more sweet, more like Prada L’eau Ambree. I get lost when others describe a scent by mostly referencing other scents (I might not know!) so, I’m sorry. 🙂
I can smell it quite well on my skin unlike the previous reviewer. Far stronger and longer lasting than other oils available in this price point. I sense sweet orchid, sour citrus, jasmine, amber, patch and musk. It’s warm, comforting, smooth, rich and slightly dirty/naughty.
qazwsx – :
It’s a very light scent. I can barely smell this on. Very close to skin. I don’t detect patchouli. The amber is very prominent and also the jasmine and green note. There is a tad of zest but barely detectable. The fragrance is creamy, has a natural sweetness. It is balanced, the citric notes add a soapiness scent, very subtle. This is a safer scent, I think, than Boyfriend. I like it but don’t love it. It’s fine to keep a roller ball of this but not full bottle worthy in my opinion. I love Kate Walsh as an actress, too bad I didn’t love this perfume or her other one as much.
Tesusannynema – :
I absolutely LOVE this fragrance! It’s not like any other that I own or wear. I tend to like the more “oriental” or “white floral” and this is a nice blend of both. It has Patchouli, which I have found I love in almost all the perfume I wear. This has a strong Patchouli note, that is nicely blended with Gardenia. It’s really just lovely! I’m typically not a fan of celebrity fragrances, as most of them turn sweet (think bubblegum, cottoncandy) on me. This does not. It dries down to a beautiful subtle warm spicy floral. The only thing I wish is that it lasted longer. I find that I need to re-apply after about 5 – 6 hours, so I have the little roll-on that I keep in my purse. This is one that I will keep coming back to, a signiture scent. And if there is even the slightest hint that it will be discontinued, you can bet, I will buy up as many bottles as I can!
henkon – :
I got this in a sample and thought by judging the book by it’s cover that it would be another one of those that last for a short time and smelled similar to something else. Wow this one is lovely on me it doesn’t remind me of anything else that I have and will be on the keepers list. Two of my co-workers complimented me on it. I have to have it! I love compliments!
aceli – :
Jimmy Choo Stars reminds me of this one. Stars’ notes are softer so I do Stars for day and Billionaire B. for evening, (especially on an away trip) because you wouldn’t have to worry about your coat or scarf smelling like both. I hope more people recognize the genius of Billionaire B. It is an awesome fragrance that I also wear on colder days.
PoownSank – :
First of all, I had no idea who Kate Walsh was when I bought this perfume. Have since learned she’s an actress, and given that, this is really an exceptional perfume. It’s not the typical fruity-floral sugarbomb that celebrity scents have become synonymous with. Number one impression for me is spiciness and butteriness – almost like a cookie, but not sweet. The staying power on this one is pretty good too. That coupled with the unique character of the fragrance makes this one come off as pricey. It’s a great fall/winter scent, very cozy and warm. I don’t get a masculine vibe at all from this. Unlike anything else in my extensive scent wardrobe. Well done.
okyhb – :
I actually like this. It’s soooo sweet and creamy. It’s unique to me and really sticks around on my skin. You must like patchouli to like this.
Alekus – :
I haven’t taken this perfume off in three days. Why I love it? I love gardenia and I love patchouli. This perfume is unlike any I own. The gardenia acccord is strong, but it is balanced out by the patchouli and citrus notes. The Amber accord had an element of suprise for me. I think this helps the staying quality of the parfum and adds depth. This perfume reminds me of old school perfume, which can be polarizing to the nose, but they make bold choices. This is a modern version of that train of thought. I think it is a well done celebrity fragrance.
loyal – :
I’m actually surprised at all of the negative reviews on here! I understand that fragrance taste is personal but there are quite a few unfavorable reviews!! The name and the tag line for this perfume are both ridiculous but at the end of the day, I can get past that. I aso don’t even know who Kate Walsh is. Again, not important. As long as she’s not a mass murderer, I feel okay buying her perfume lol!
As far as the scent, I find it surprisingly unique for a celebrity fragrance. Something a bit more complex, dark, and mature. Don’t get me wrong, I love my sweet scents. I just enjoy having a variety. The scent consists of top notes: patchouli, amber; middle notes: jasmine, gardenia, orchid, base notes: green, tangerine, bergamot. The patchouli and amber anchor the scent and provide a dark and mature addition while the tangerine and gardenia notes give this a sweet floral drydown.
I should probably mention that I am a big fan of patchouli. With that being said, those that do not care for patchouli or gardenia may not like this fragrance as they are quite prevalent. The sillage is pretty strong so I spray this on a less conspicuous area of my body (my lower abdomen) and at a distance. The lasting power is only so-so which is surprising for the sillage-monster that it is. Overall, spray sparingly and patchouli/gardenia-lovers like me should give this a go.
Ais_2010 – :
I enjoy the opening well enough, amber and citrus. Then the top notes dissipate and it is drydown time. Good so far, more amber and patchouli – warm spicy sweet – and then turns stale within half an hour.
Gave it 3 or 4 tries and now my sample is living in my rejects bag. Sorry, BB, but I don’t want to see you anymore. Do you have a brother? 😉
Golubok – :
I’m really surprised at all the HATE for this scent. Well, I don’t really hate it, nor do I LOVED it, To me its more of the patchouli thing than it is amber-y sweet thing. It just depends on the nose smelling it and the body chemistry… hahaha..:)
Масяня – :
Kinda surprised at all the hate for this fragrance, considering the dry down of Billionaire Boyfriend shares the same warm amber notes of the original (Poor?) Boyfriend. Billionaire Boyfriend is basically a woodsy fragrance with a fleeting citrus top note. I love the sandalwood here, it is creamy and delightful. It plays nice with the jasmine heart notes. The patchouli is very clean and gives the fragrance a nice twist from the original, but the amber dry down cannot be hidden. For anyone who cannot do the myrrh note of the original Boyfriend, I think they will enjoy Billionaire Boyfriend.
Lenarik – :
I LOVE the original Boyfriend fragrance from Kate Walsh, so of course this one intrigued me as well. I found a small .5 oz bottle of Billionaire Boyfriend at TJ Maxx for next to nothing and decided that I had to try it.
I have to say, I don’t get the reviews stating that the white florals are super strong. They are present, yes, and I find that I smell more gardenia than jasmine, myself. Amber and patchouli are definitely present. I also read in the reviews that this fragrance is similar to Queen Latifah’s Queen of Hearts which I happen to LOVE. I tested them side by side and at first they are similar. But as they dry down Queen of Hearts retains a richer, spicier quality that is still somewhat smooth while BB becomes sweeter and more subdued and loses much of the inital character. BB is lacking in some depth, IMO. It also sweetens as time passes which makes for a kind of strange combination of notes – there is almost a “waxiness” to the smell, if that makes sense. Maybe that is the impression from the white florals?
Overall I have to say I don’t dislike Billionaire Boyfriend. It isn’t even close to as good as the original, but it really isn’t bad. I think this was worth the shot and I am sure I will wear it again, just not all that frequently.
tathi07 – :
Wow! I must be very lucky because BB works fabulously on my skin. I find it warm, dry, slightly sweet, a teeny bit sour, and peppery. It’s definitely bold, and I can see how it might put some off.
It does remind me of something my teachers used to wear in the 80s, and I’m assuming it’s the Charles of the Ritz fragrance others have mentioned. When I first smelled BB, my brain was taken immediately back to junior high — in a good way.
I have to say, I was a little nervous trying this one because I truly dislike original Boyfriend. I got a sample of BB, read the reviews, freaked out a little, and gave it a shot. I was impressed and surprised with the result. So glad I gave it a chance. I now have a generously sized mini of the fragrance in my collection. The lack of love here tells me I should probably get a FB, pronto.
Antonio32 – :
To my Sniffer this smells just like queen latifahs perfume…the gold and green one (it might just be my chemistry) …but less in your face…I like it but I already have QLs so I don’t need this one plus QLs is a lot cheaper!!!! Read my review on her perfume.
xke036Diobtetty – :
I do not like Billionaire Boyfriend. B.O.
There is a note, or combination of notes, that is reminiscent of body odor. Someone mentioned cat piss, others have mentioned old lady, but it just has a smell of a “ripe” person after a work out or a long summer hot day.
I detect:
– Floral, generic
– Amber, the only nice note in this to me
– Bergamot
– Where, oh where, is the tangerine?
This sweaty floral might be appealing to a select few, and maybe even smell good on fewer, but I find it off putting on me. I’m going to go wash it off now.
1/10
2/10 headache factor. Does not give me a headache, but my sinuses reacted to this.
chelakov-roman – :
Awful, awful, awful!
This perfume is guaranteed to repell boyfriends rather than attract one. It smells like a granny who is trying to mask the smell of her 100 cats by bathing in this terribly cloying old-lady smell. It smells sickly sweet – like a rat that just died from arsenic rat poison and is rotting in the attic.
And the worse part is that it Just. Won’t. Go. Away.
I received a sample from Sephora so I sprayed it once (just once) on the back of my knee. The silage is so strong that just walking to my car from my room made me want to gag. I tried to wash it off the moment I got to work (I had to drive with all the windows down to keep from suffocating)and it wouldn’t come off. I washed my skin 3 times and even attempted to use rubbing alcohol. Still there.
Now, 2 showers and 24 hours later – I still smell traces of the darned thing on my fingers (I’m guessing it transferred when I was attempting to scrub it off with cheap, watered down rest room soap).
By far the worst perfume sample I’ve ever tried!
KOTENOK – :
I did not care for this scent. I LOVE patchouli, but didn’t really smell it through the sticky sweetness. It reminded me of Tropical Lifesavers that melted in a old lady’s leather coat pocket. I don’t mean to be surly; this is actually what BB smells like to me! I usually find something positive about a fragrance I would like to try, even though it’s not ‘for me’…not this time.
poslevech – :
I’m surprised that I liked this considering the patchouli, but it is a nice mix of fresh notes with more floral feminine notes. A bit more unisex but her line so far seems to lean that way. Better for summer months.
nadegda-chi – :
Surprisingly I had not heard ever of this and received it as a sample and my first impression was that I liked it. The scent has a lingering effect for sure and is strong. My husband currently is sick and can barely breathe out of his nose but was able to pick up on this .. he did tell me I smelled lovely. I put it on this afternoon and can still smell it on my wrists five hours later.
Floy2 – :
The reviewer who mentioned “Forever Krystle” hit the nail on the head! I received a sample of this from Sephora, so I tried it. A scent memory nagged and nagged and nagged at me, but I couldn’t place what fragrance this smells like. Indeed, it is DEFINITELY Forever Krystle, which was worn by everyone and her grandmother in the late 1980s (except me because I was fumigating everything within 4 miles of me with Camp Beverly Hills). Forever Krystle back then literally reminded me of my Nana’s “Royal Secret” and wouldn’t you know, “Billionaire Boyfriend” does too! I never could pull off either Royal Secret or Forever Krystle but I do think they are striking, interesting fragrances. Billionaire Boyfriend, not so much.
easpro – :
Lots of Orchid and Gardenia and Jasmine –then a hint of the Patchouli comes out.
What I consider a “loud” floral .
in moderation I love it , but headache for sure if too much is sprayed .
I wish the bottle wasnt so cheap looking- Anyway if you like white florals do try it 🙂
stasonheg77 – :
I really love this!!! To me this is everything that “Boyfriend” is not. I wanted to love original “Boyfriend” but there was a pesky myrrh note in it that made it smell like burning rubber on my skin. “Billionaire Boyfriend” delivers all of the yummy stuff I loved about “Boyfriend” sans the myrrh! I am so happy!! It lasts a really long time on me too. The amber and patchouli just smell fantastic in this. It is a really cozy scent for fall and winter sort of powdery sort of ambery…not sure how it would smell in summer heat??? I must grab a bottle of this!!! LOVE!
romanow – :
I love this. It’s very strong and heady at first but it settles into something very alluring in a short enough period of time. My boy enjoys it as well, which was the sealing deal for me. Definitely a night wear, though.
seregap – :
I too got a sample from Sephora, and I kind of like it, quite a bit, actually. The only thing that could possibly give me any pause is the beyond tacky bottle. But I guess I’d just have to keep it hidden with my equally beyond tacky bottle of Pink Friday.
Edit: longevity is nil on me! For something that starts off with such a bang, I am totally writing this one off now for complete lack of staying power. Too bad.
Semyonoff – :
i got a sample of this in my Sephora order, so i tried it. i don’t like it – too much high pitched white floral and waaay too much gardenia. once it settled in, though, i figured out what it really reminds me of : Forever Krystle! i guess since that’s from 1984, it doesn’t show up in the “This Perfume Reminds Me Of” options, but it *is* listed here, under “Forever Krystle Charles of the Ritz for women”
Dr.Shnobel – :
BILLIONAIRE BOYFRIEND is one of the most potent fragrances on first spray. There was a shock factor to it and I immediately detected heavy patchouli with a mix of sharp floral notes — not very appealing on my skin nor to my nose.
I’ve learned not to judge a fragrance from what I inhale during the initial blast, I decided to give it time to get to its dry down. After a few minutes, the earlier shock has dissipated (at last) and it’s turned into a toned down version of what I smelled before. I still get the patchouli with the floral notes but are now softer. Hmmmm … it has potential, unfortunately not for me.
I guess, this is one of those fragrances that you have to give ample time to reach it’s more mellow side. The reason why the roller ball works better than the spray, since the roller ball does not give you that initial shock factor and goes straight to the softer aspect of the scent.
Сачи Хитано – :
Got a sample from Sephora based on the description. Sounds like a good idea like having a monstrously rich boyfriend. But came off wrong–like the money’s gone to his head and now you’re stuck in the limo with him, when all you really need to do is stop for starbucks before you run your Saturday errands. It’s got all the rich white florals that you would expect in a gift bottle from your personal billionaire, but its got a heavy masculine bully in the bottle. Like you’re trapped in the car with him and he’s wearing more juice than you are.
k035405 – :
Not my favorite stand alone, but it works well to layer with ultra-feminine florals, I think. I got it as a gift and probably wouldn’t buy it again at full price, but it’s not as bad as its rep.
LesDV – :
I have the purse size roller ball oil, and I like it a lot! It’s a soft, sweet, kind of “oily” gardenia/orchid scent. No big silage, stays close to skin, average lasting power. Very nice! Personally I find it charming, even though no innovative or original in any way. Wearable and for sure will not offend anyone. I have never tested the original Boyfriend, but this one is lovely and warm.
EDIT:
I have fallen in love with this. It is the one and only “celebrity” scent I own. I guess this is the exception to underline the rule…. because usually I dislike ALL celebrity perfumes. They smell cheap and synthetic to me, and I don’t believe I am a snob at all, I just happened to have smelled hundreds of perfumes and I became a little more discerning.
Back to this Billionaire thing…. well, it makes me smile. Many people say the ad is tacky. To me it’s just plain funny. It has a sense of humour. It’s a comedy. Starting with the video, and ending with the Latin writing on the bottle! The scent itself is a smooth and sweet, waxy gardenia. It actually has a similarity with Micallef’s Gardenia, if you’re familiar with that. Feminine, soft, very sexy and sensual. From the rollerball ( that was a gift from SexyMe ), I think I must get a FB. I wonder if the edp is different than the oil. I will update.
EDIT again:
The edp smells similar to the oil . The oil is smoother. The edp has better sillage. The bottle is just hideous!!!! Too bad the roller oil was so pretty. I truly dislike it. The gems around the neck are comming off. There is a rectangle on the bottom of the bottle, sitting not straight under the metalic paint. The actual sticker is on top of it. The silvery / steel colored paint seems to want to peel off the corners. Maybe it is the effort of making this bottle look vintage. But the perfume is indeed a gorgeous gardenia, a little spicy and woody, a little sweet and very buttery / creamy.
Edit again…. well, after gettin the edp, I must admit I am rather disappointed… firstly the bottle is ugly and the scent is way to strong for my taste. The oil is much softer. So I my bottle is up for swaps, if you care for it.
otshelnic60 – :
The card that came with my sample said, “Who wants to be a millionaire…when you can have a Billionaire?” It’s a play on the title of the show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”.
I laughed and thought what an incredibly stupid and tacky catch phrase. I was *this close* to throwing the sample in the trash, but, you see, I have a rule that no matter how much a dislike it, I never throw perfume into the garbage.
It turned out to be a very sunny floral. The reason it impressed me was because although white floral perfumes are so common these days, this one had a base that gave it a, um, richness (no pun intended!).
I closed my eyes and tried to picture a Billionaire wearing it. While I still think a Billionaire would wear something exclusive or custom-made, I don’t think this would be a bad choice for a Billionaire sunning herself on the deck of her yacht, in the azure seas beyond the high cliffs of Monte Carlo. It’s also a good choice for a wannabe Billionaire. I’m definitely one of those.
I actually considered buying this stuff. I also find the bottle tacky, yet I like it!
pompypnf769Unlogrere – :
I’m surprised there is so much hate on this scent. I absolutely love it! The original boyfriend was a little too woodsy for me- but this one is creamy and floral and divine. I just have the rollerball but it gives decent sillage too! It’s spicy and white floral and amber and it has a luxurious feel to it- almost warm, a little sweet, floral-amber velvety.
chyrli – :
The original “Boyfriend” is much better than this one by far.
Andreopulos – :
Flirty cheap floral. Goes to show billionaires have no taste at all.
Deemseappymax – :
I love the original Boyfriend scent. It has a delicious bonfire/woodsmoke feel that reminds me very much of autumn. Billionaire Boyfriend isn’t so much a success in my opinion. I don’t despise it, but I don’t find anything stand-out about it. It’s quite a bit flatter and linear, lacking the depth that Boyfriend has in it’s resiny sweet-woody character.
Billionaire Boyfriend is a thick jasmine and gardenia scent, with a sharply green note. The entire duration of this fragrance reminds me somewhat of the drydown of Bvlgari Jasmin Noir, albeit a little synthetic in comparison. There is a similar unisex-jasmine feel with this one, but Jasmin Noir is darker, creamier, and warmer in comparison. Overall BB is less sweet and less predictable than many celebrity scents, however it’s not one I would purchase. Jasmin Noir is a better rendition of a thick jasmine-gardenia, and it has some lovely hints of almond and licorice that BB does not.
As a side note, what was Kate Walsh thinking with this embarrassing marketing and packaging? The original Boyfriend concept was silly…but this one is 10 times worse. With both Kate Walsh’s perfumes, there seems to be a major discord between the scent itself and the marketing.
saha221 – :
I like this one better than Boyfriend. That one was a little heavy for my taste. Billionaire Boyfriend is much fresher and a lot more floral and feminine but still has enough oomph to make it warm and sexy. This one also has a much more modern feel to it. Thanks to the fresh florals, I can wear this one during warmer weather unlike the original one.
Alina261090 – :
I didn’t like Boyfriend and I don’t like Billionaire Boyfriend either. These scents really don’t have feminine qualities to them and in Billionaire Boyfriend I detect a heavy leather note that I dislike.

Irremkesehumnte – :
When I first sprayed this on, I really liked it. It was warm and woody, and the gardenia didn’t feel too dominant. There was even a rubbery note, but I was able to overlook it due to what felt like an effortless synergy between the orchid, gardenia, amber, and patchouli. Unfortunately, the more time passed, the more the gardenia began to take over and something in this scent started to give me a headache. I envy those who have the right chemistry for it, but for now, I will settle for being in love with the original Boyfriend.
leepzxgeykh – :
I really like this scent. I have found it to have great lasting power and a very pleasant scent. I am not too crazy about the initial scent, I find it too flowery for what I was looking for, but it quickly dries down to a scent I love. I have gotten many compliments on it and find that it is slowly becoming my go-to-perfume.
Paraneoxwrofe – :
I don’t get any freshness at the top but I get a lot of woody jasmine and a really really nice amber. There is a little bit of patchouli and wood from the original in here, and the drydown is a little powdery tho. This Billionaire Boyfriend is not as unisex as the Original as it has more floral action going on. It doesn’t seem too heavy either. It should appeal more to a lot of ladies out there.
vovan7733 – :
This smells like a calmer properly trained Black Orchid. I like this. I own Black Orchid and at one time it was in my top five scents. But after a while Black Orchid’s strength was a little too pushy for me, so I’ve given it a break for a while. So if Billionaire Boyfriend is a tamed Black Orchid it should be perfect, right? Not quite. I can’t decide if it has been tamed or beaten into submission.
Because I couldn’t decide, I went ahead and bought the rollerball instead of committing to a bottle. The oil is sweet with bursts of gardenia and orchid. The tangerine and the lime over lightly green notes provide a base that keeps it from becoming too heady. The hint of jasmine makes it just a stitch naughty. Light, pretty, white florally sweet. I don’t think it does anything to really distinguish itself, but it stands well on its own. This is a nice “pretty girl” perfume.
If this review sounds negative, it’s not. I just LOVED Boyfriend, so I’ll admit I was a little disappointed with this. Still I give it a thumbs up.

This one’s nice. I like it a lot but it doesn’t beat the original. I’ll get the rollerball but that’s all I’ll ever need. : )

I definitely smelled the white floral up top mixed with Orchid. I liked that the it was not straight white floral on the top notes, as I am not a straight white floral kind of girl. The floral lingered for about an hour then dry down to amber and orange. The dry down reminded me of Burberry Brit, but nothing in the top notes are Burberry Brit.
I liked it, but not one I would buy. I did make my feel feminine, I just have others that I like more.
Fragrances fade on me quickly and this one was average at 4 hours.
I have not tried Boyfriend yet, but I will.
EDIT: I have now tried Boyfriend. I like the Boyfriend better than Billionaire, but I will revisit this fragrance in spring. Boyfriend was so great on me and long lasting that Billionaire is certainly one I will try again and may buy for summer.
