First blast is a sweet pear that reminds me of a discontinued Victoria Secrets Angel scent or maybe Guess Seductive? There is definately a familiar pear in there. Than it changed to a caramel, sort of fresh and flowery even. After 5 hours it becomes a nice inoffensive skin scent. I think Shakira perfumes are very above average for a celebrity scent and are sholder to sholder with some bigger brands. Not groundbreaking, but nothing is nowadays so save your money and get yourself some of this juice. Bottles are beautiful and great for collecting as well.

Summary: As usual with Shakira fragrances, smells more expensive than it costs. Pretty, not groundbreaking but a very solid option.
Compares favourably to to several 50 euro perfumes both in how interesting it smells and how generally pleasing it is. Can be worn by women of any age, in my opinion, and is both office-safe and discreetly sexy.
Needs re-spraying as it lasts 4 hours.
Update: wears differently according to how many sprays I apply. Few sprays: sweetish floral. More sprays: the caramel comes to front, and I have to wait for it to dry down in order to enjoy the soapy floral part, which I prefer here.
I am lucky when the caramel does not last strong in my skin (stays strong for 15-20 minutes, then the soapy floral notes take over). Still, the caramel is well done and not nauseating, as the woody notes somewhat balance it.

Interestingly, this one is mostly a warm clean soapy pink floral in my skin. Wears close to skin.
From the notes, I was expecting not to enjoy it much as I am very, very picky with caramel. I am lucky that my skin makes this caramel almost disappear. I do smell the caramel notes but after drying up the caramel stays discreet, like a hum below, just adding a hint of sweetness but not overwhelming the notes.
Instead, upon dry-up I smell a watery/airy clean and soapy pink floral. An airy/watery pear note, strong and delicious peony, vague musk and floating white flowers, not of the intoxicating/indolic type, but of the perfumed soap kind, with something very hazy and watery and serene. Lovely!
Layers beautifully over skin lotion and sunscreen, and also layers well over white musk.
Smells feminine and pretty with just a hint of warm sensuality. Office-appropriate, while it can also be sexy in a cute girl next door way.
In my imagination: spring dresses, happy laughs and a picnic in the shade.
Reminds me of CH 212 if the fresh green cactus note had been replaced by a discreet warm sweet note instead.
Well done!

I think Dance is a good perfume for that price. It opens with slightly citrus-y caramel and vanilla, and remains pretty much like that for some hours. Sillage is better than with some expensive ones. It’s not particularly remarkable, but it gets its job done.

Not too crazy about this one. I was hoping for caramel,but the scent is so light,this is basically a skin scent. There is a slight touch of pear,but it’s barely perceptible. Though,it’s not listed,I keep getting pink pepper from this. I think Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday,with her pear/caramel combo is much better than this. Like another reviewer said,this is a strange caramel. If it’s pear and caramel you want,I recommend Nicki Minaj.

This is a cheaper (but very week) version of Prada Candy.
The bottle is also similar to U by Ungaro Fever AVON.

It is okay, nothing ground breaking here, really similar to the nice remix by britney spears

I am anosmic to it, received one but gave it back. The person who received it didn’t like it either and regifted. Probably the king of regifts.

Best Shakira perfume! I used to be a fan of Elixir and Wild Elixir, but now they smell cheap and like alcohol to me. This one does not, despite the fact that it is super cheap.

I was given this as a gift and at first I was going to trade it for something else. I usually didn’t like gourmands, but I’m starting to get drawn to them now (I guess it’s the age).
It’s very comforting. It lasts pretty long and has a very decent sillage. I keep smelling it when I’m at my desk, which doesn’t happen too often with other fragrances. For the price, it’s really good.
But.. is no one going to comment on the box design? When I first saw it I was sure it was a fake. I know nothing about design, but look at the fonts on the front! And Shakira’s picture on the back! It’s just awful. I should just throw the box and keep the bottle, which is pretty nice by the way.

Es una fragancia de dia bien veraniega , es rica pero es muy igual a muchas dulces … nada en particular. Espero shakira saque algo distinto en perfumes.

All i get is caramel. I do like caramel in fragrances, but i cannot stand this one. It is so sickening! And i do like sweet perfumes, but this one is boring. It is just this strange caramel and that is it.
Truth be said, sillage and longevity are impressive for a Shakira perfume, but Dance is still a no go for me.
P. S: the name is misleading, i was expecting something much more vibrant. It is just classy, safe and basic.

Just for saying, in the middle notes, it isn’t Lily but it is Lily-of-the-valley!

I loved Shakira when I were very young, younger than 10, and now I like her very much – especially her style, the one she have now and the one’s that she’ve had before. I’ve recently gotten the chance to try some of her fragrances and I’ve liked them so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to try this one aswell. There isn’t one note that I dislike and the combination seems to be ok/good but it could also be too ordinary… However, the bottle looks amazing, it’s so beautiful… Really, I’m almost both speechless and happy. Whoever came up with this design was and are a genius.

I think the bottle looks fun, it has a very 90s feel to me.

Horrific design! The composition looks generic but who knows. Anyway, nothing to worth a fireworks.
