Description
To celebrate the International Women’s Day (8 March) O Boticario launches two new fragrances as a part of the ‘Secrets Collection’, which joins two great passions of great number of women – perfumes and makeup. It represents the Brazilian definition of femininity – sophisticated and ultra modern. These two fragrances are created for a contemporary and seductive woman. Even the curves of the bottle reminiscent of womanly silhouette.
Top notes: lily-of-the-valley, peony and lily. Heart: tiare flower, raspberry, plum and cereal note. Base: sandalwood, praline, vanilla, amber and musk.
Fragrance developed by perfumer Marie Salamagne. Glamour Secrets Black was launched in 2010.

Its dark, but fruity. Sweet, but not cloying. Airy but sexy and with presence.
Honestly, it doesn’t stand to its predecessor (Glamour), which is sexy, glamorous and sophisticated (in my opinion), but is still a great fragrance. Sillage and Fixation are very good, more suitable for colder weather (since the sweetness can be a turn off in Brazilian Summer).
To me, that’s the sweet, flirty and kinda crazy (in a fun way) little sister of the original Glamour. She is loud, and loves to flirt, but knows when to keep it quiet and seduce only with her eyes.
Is not mature, but not overly girly.
I get mostly the raspberry, the vanilla and the praline. It’s a ‘pink’ fragrance, not overly sexy “lace” fragrance, like its bottle wants you to think.
Anyway, great for gifts.

Very sweet and very sickly. On paper both a nice, but completely suffocating in the skin. Too bad I have acquired a bottle without experiencing it on my skin. I just donating to my aunt.

This is a dark, vanilla-y, raspberry scent. Intringuing and very sexy. Great for wearing at night.

Sweet, juicy, fruity, vanilla and musk.
Pleasantly pleasing scent.
This is younger version of Flowerbomb, minus patchouli.
Juicy drydown, not suffocating at all. Yummy pralines come out. Smells delicious:)

This is sweet in a very grown up way. I was so in love with this perfume until a friend started wearing it at the same time as me and I was a bit put off since I find it really distinctive. I find the opening sweet and sophisticated, and I can definetly smell the flowers on top of the vanilla and praline. But my favorite part is once it settles onto my skin to this really sensual and comfortable vanilla that makes me wanna sniff my wrists all the time. Lasting power is quite good on me, I actually feel it coming off when I shower. Projection is great too, something people can remember you by. Just don’t over do it, because it is strong! I must add that it works different in the winter, it doesn’t keep its strenght and I found that it fades rather quickly on my skin, so different than the reaction I get with warmer weather!

I simply love this perfume! Whenever you go out to dance at night using night, he’s so, so seductive, as “single lady”! hahahaha
He is sweet, but I would say that is a distillate sweet … Has a bitterness of a distilled beverage in its aroma, a cherry bathed the marroschino! So yummy … Makes Me feel delicious, not as a pie chart, a candy … But a dessert sophisticated, accompanied with a caramelized liquor, in a crowded room of Jamins! Sexy very sexy!

Just a “more caramelled” version of Britney’s Fantasy.

Reminds me a lot of Egeo Dolce…UBER sweet, heacheachy…most people love it, and I don’t get it. It’s so sweet and so strong.

I agree with NathalieZ’s review below.
Also, i would like to add that this is a little similar to Chopard’s Happy Spirit Magical Nights – less caramel and less woody though

This one has the most lusciously creamy opening I have ever smelled in a fragrance. Glamour Secrets Black really brings something new: Most fragrances of this genre open with sour or fresh notes and then settle into warmer, truly gourmand hearts… But this one already starts incredibly wet and dessert-like, like the cold air that exhales from a piece of crème bavaroise right out of the fridge! Settles into a thicker version of it’s own opening and dries down to a powdery vanilla in the very end. I don’t get the flowers, I believe they must all be very well blended into the fruity notes and kind of overpowered by them.
Glamour Secrets Black lasts a considerable amount of time on skin(5-6 hours), considering this is an Eau de Cologne. If it weren’t so expensive for an EDC, this would certainly be in my wishlist by now.
