Sweet. Powdery. Smells like black licorice. Not bad but not something I want to smell all day.

I really like this one from Christina. Probably one of my faves. Next to Red Sin. I have to say this one really lasts on me. Even on sunny/hot day’s. It has a really soapy and floral scent to it. HEAVY on the soapy/clean scent. I haven’t ever really owned a heavy “soapy” scent till this one. It’s not like anything else in her lineup. It’s a good clean scent, and one that sits close to the body does not radiate very far so if you’re looking for something to smell yourself and you enjoy a clean soapy floral clean scent this is great if you’re a fan of her collection like I am.

Apart from glam x theres never been a CA fragrance that i haven’t actually really liked so i thought ide give it a go and im actually pretty happy with it. On opening its fluffy sweet like sugared whipped cream and marshmallows then the citrus comes though with the honoki wood. Hinoki wood is supposed to have a fresh citrus/ pine smell, so this becomes just that; a sweet fresh citric scent with the warmth of the musk. Its like a orange scented soap with marshmallow.
It reminds me of something ive smelled before, i cant figure out what i just KNOW ive smelled it before. It was only $24 for 50ml so its not a bad but and it is slightly different from her usually overly fruity scents but the hinoki note does give it a very distinct green smell that may not be for everyone. Im glad i took the chance with it though.
Update: Ok so ive decided i just cant wear this. the top notes are beautiful, but after that it gives me a headache, its happened 3 times now so im guessing i should be done with it. i like the smell, but the headache i get just isnt worth it. It seems to habg on too, instead of getting small whiffs throughout the day, im in a constant cloud of smell that just doesn’t let up, even if i only spray the tiniest bit. Odd for a CA fragrance to do this

I normally pretty much ignore Christina’s fragrances, but saw a tester on the shelf when I was looking for something else. This is actually very nice. It’s like a mix of sugar sherbet and marshmallows with a little vanilla and musk thrown in. It reminds me of 70s fragrances with that musk. Doesn’t last a long time but is nice while it hangs around. Definitely worth a look if you see it, but I do wish she would go a bit further with her bottles. That lace thing really needs to be retired.

This is my third favorite fragrance from Christina. Her first being the best, Followed by Secret Potion. I like Glam X as well as Touch of Seduction and Inspire is just ok. I don’t care much for Royal Desire. At the time of writing I still need to purchase By Night, Woman and Unforgettable to complete my collection. I like this one, it is to me very much the one that I relate most to what I imagine Christina would wear if that makes sense! It’s sweet but sophisticated. It is similar I think to glam X out of her fragrances I’ve tried. My main problem with her fragrances is that while minus one or two they smell quite alluring and attractive and are great value for money, most including this have such a minimal staying power. Why is this something that so many new celeb fragrances, including the really good ones, last such an incredibly short time? It has put me off buying a lot of them because I am not even joking when I say after 20 mins there’s nothing left. This is why I tend to wear heavier perfumes because it’s just so frustrating. I get that it can be overwhelming when a fragrance like hypnotic poison stays on all night sometimes this is quite rare and for the most part i need a heavier perfume to ensure after 1 hour I actually smell of something. I can’t exactly carry around a bottle and respray all the time as we all know that the initial blast can bother people around you. Anyway, I still love Christina’s fragrances overall and if they lasted longer I’d be very happy. I recommend Definition for Christina fans and lovers of gormounds if you’re prepared to respray.

A sweet floral with a light fruity touch and a more noticeable herbal/medicinal touch.
The opening is pure vanilla orchid, very natural smelling and reminiscent of marshmallows. Later on, you get a fruity smell, but nothing really strong, and then you get the hinoki wood, the note that really gives personality to this fragrance. it smells green and slightly medicinal. I don´t know if it is the hinoki wood per se, or if it is its combination with the vanilla orchid that produces this effect, anyway, i think some may dislike this fragrance because of this accord.
I think Definition is a nice fragrance. It is not Aguilera´s best, but not her worst either.
I would recommend triying if you´re looking for a winter floral, if you´re a fan of vanilla orchid or if you like your perfumes to smell a bit medicinal.
I have no complaints about sillage and longevity. In fact, it projects very well.

I will start by saying the one in the lace bottle is a lovely classy scent. I tried this one in Debenhams and it was weak in both lasting power and projection. The scent itself is nothing terrible, but it is certainly nothing unique or special either. Smells like another generic watered down weak floral scent. It has no juiciness or freshness. It is so lackluster and uninspiring. I wouldn’t buy this, nor would I ever reach for it, if it were gifted to me. It is unbelievably boring. Reminds me of the watered down floral scents Avon tend to knock out all throughout the year. Very boring scent.
Overall Rating 2/10
