Guess by Marciano is surprisingly good. It’s been getting a bit of love on the boards lately, and it’s cheap as all get out (easily found for under $20), so I decided to grab a bottle, not really expecting it to be a love or anything since the couple other Guess perfumes I’ve tried were lackluster. I would describe it as warm, sweet, a little spicy, a little boozy, a little woody, a little powdery, a little musky, a crowdpleaser, young sexy, similar in vibe to Roberto Cavalli EDP. Not a gourmand, and it has a distinctive “perfumey” feel. It has quite a bit going on, actually, and it’s really, really well-balanced. The opening is fairly bright and fruity, and at that point it was a little “meh” for me, but after a few minutes to settle, the gentle spice started to come out, followed the wood and musk notes. I’d classify it as more of an oriental floral than a fruity floral. This is definitely something I would have worn to clubs and bars when I was in college, and wouldn’t hesitate to wear it for a date/date night now in my early 30s; I can definitely see men liking this and I can’t see it coming across as objectionable to anyone. Projection and longevity are both moderate, though I find it lingers fairly long on fabric. In this heat, it’s balmy and sexy, and I can see it doing well as a cozy scent in fall and winter.
Overall, for its price and genre, you could do a hell of a lot worse for something to wear when you just want to smell GOOD. If you’re looking for something new and don’t have a lot to spend, give it a try!

Warm, sweet sexy benzoin and woody notes. The sweetness tames down after a while and leaves you with hours of wafts that make this seem like it’s triple its asking price. Worth it if you want something sexy but inexpensive, especially for the younger crowd.
Luckily found this at Rexall’s on clearance :3 My bottle doesn’t have that lacy overprint on it and was made in 2017.
Xeroxbphwc – :
I love this one more than I ever thought I would. Somebody said it’s like a Tootsie roll and that is correct- boozy chocolate chew candy with lots of vanilla. It lasts all day.
Zabrodko – :
One of my favorite wear-to-bed perfumes. Teeters on the edge of gourmand with vanilla throughout, but has a creaminess that carries the boozy, floral notes as well. Staying power is good – it smells sensuous and slightly powdery.
Great daytime perfume too, appropriate for the office or any occasion.

This is lovely. I stopped a sales clerk at a clothing store one day because she smelled so nice, and she said it was this perfume. I did not pursue at the time since I thought the notes would not work on me (blue curacao?). Then it was offered in a swap (thanks objections!), and it was like Guess was trying to find a way on to my shelf, and I am glad it did.
It is soft, sweet in a non-foodie way. It suits day or night and probably 3 season although I have not tried it in the summer. My daughter, who is annoyed by my perfumes since she’s my guinea pig for each, actually told me I smelled great when I sat next to her.
The pyramid cites vanilla as most prominent, but I do not see this as a vanilla scent. Everything else is balanced and a few ingredients offer their own nuance of sweetness that works very well together.
Reviews here say it’s for an ultra-confident, take-no-prisoners woman while others call it cozy. All are accurate, showing how versatile it can be. I wear it running errands but also find it date-special occasion suitable as well.
Sillage: arms length or less w/2 sprays to chest and neck
Longevity: 8+ hours with traces still there in the morning

The cardamom, citrus and vanilla in the Guess fragrance is BOMB.com
My mother even asked, what are you wearing that is lovely? Can I have it? NO, Sorry Mommy!
So I bought her a bottle.
Vedaddertneme – :
I did a blind buy based on the reviews but it smells exactly like a cheap self bronzer.
BlindRain – :
This reminds me of when you have a toothache from eating too many candys and then you think that a lemonade would work(not a good idea). It is not bad but its contradictory like two zodiac signs that look interesting togetehr but we all know that in the end they are not gonna make it. this is the upseting part, but actually for the price its operating qualities are good and it haves its own charm ressembling accents of cream soda to my nose.
guzal2011 – :
Oh, she IS beautiful. Warm, sweet, like a waxy red lipstick she’s smooth and sublime. I layered this over Britney Spears’ Hidden Fantasy and the two meld together beautifully.
The curacao here is boozy, sweet, and refreshing. I don’t get any citrus other than the juicy orange and I’d swear (again) that I smell a beautiful creamy coconut as well. This fragrance is gorgeous!!! An immediate love, she earns a 10 of 10 for fragrance alone. Sillage, can start out anywhere from moderate to huge; dies down over time to eventually become a skin scent; very nice. Longevity, several hours or more.
Value = superb.
Reminds me of another beloved similar fragrance, Ellen Tracy Bronze.
This one stays in my collection.♥
morzeti1 – :
I was about to sell this new one since I
have tons of other perfumes to try. Then, when I read the reviews here, I spritzed once on my wrist and it was heavenly so orangy oriental. This would definitely be in my collections. Unfortunately, it only last for 4 hours on my skin. Same with Guess Double Dare. Need to re apply in the middle. No biggies! Definitely great for work.
buckoov – :
By princip i dont like fragrances by fashion brands like Tom Tailor,Guess, and etc,because they are average and most of them low quality,BUT i decided to give this a try.Well….let me tell you..it is not Armani,or Dior or Niche frag,but this is one of the most interesting fragrances i have ever had!It is unique.I am so in love that i dont have enough words.It is at the same time sweet,but also sour,it is heavy but also fresh ,it has two opposite characters in it wich live in a perfect harmony.I smell caramel in it and fresh notes also like i am night time at the beach with a coctail in my hand.I am so in love with it and also with its staying power ,which is enormous with enormous sillage,nothing compared to the latest Gueass perfumes ,which are so watery and so non interesting.This is sexy,strong and sophisticated kind of sweet perfume.i love it forever!
Sain_87753291539 – :
I just got this one. It is a really classy orange vanilla
scent. The curacao is a nice touch. Has a slight spice and powdery scent as well. Depending on where you purchase this item. It is pretty reasonably priced. Also, this perfumes
debut was a while ago.I see a lot of people still love it.
I am glad I purchased this.
Very Nice!
TearneEtege – :
I Have been searching for a true powdery vanilla scent that has not been drowned out by all those sweet shop lollipop scents getting around the market today. Now this perfum is the closest true vanilla scent I have found since vanilla fields by Coty and a far better cent asfor layering on heavy orientals. This is truly a lovely perfum within a heady vanilla vibe lasts for hours and I’m so glad the intinal citrus burst at the opening of the fragrance only lasts for 15 minutes then settles into a lovely powdery vanilla fragrance close to niche fragrances and without the price tag if you are after a true vanilla not having to smell like you fell into Charlie’s chocolate factory look no further you have found a sure winner in this beauty with a reasonably price. Safe buy for someone searching for a true heady powdery vanilla that’s goes the distance smells like you fell into a fresh bunch of vanilla orchids
qta668Unlogrere – :
This just smells cheap and very chemical and very manufactured and synthetic to me. The lasting power as a few other reviewers have noted is poor.
I feel like a warm-scented body mist would perform about the same as this. This just migrates between smelling like a cheap fragrance, or a vintage Avon fragrance, or something I might have worn in my 20’s, while sitting on the very rare occasion at the bar back in the early 90’s, drinking a strawberry daiquiri or a mojito or a rum and coke or some other mixed drink, while scouring the place with my friends for hot-looking guys…lol..oh, memories!! 🙂 Well, suffice to say, my tastes have changed and evolved. This one is a big “no” to my nose. Can’t really even discern any notes, it just smells like a cheap warm body mist that had the misfortune of sitting in the sun too long….maybe my bottle was bad…? Bought it as Ross..
Anyway…I often hang onto a fragrance, thinking it might change, or my nose might adapt, but I saw no point hanging onto this one. Passed this onto my SIL (sister in law). Coincidentally, she still likes to go to bars. :p 🙂
ootbol – :
Smells like orange booziness,vanilla and powder. Not a bad scent at all but it wasnt strong enough for me. Even pressing nose to wrist, could barely smell anything at all .
fylhtq74 – :
When I sprayed this on my wrist, this perfume gave me a very distinct mental picture. In the image I’m in my mid to late thirties, sitting at a bar with a mixed drink in my hand, wearing leopard print and leather and subtly scoping the scene, sporting a sultry smokey eye. Boozy, a tiny bit of floral, with a powdery muskiness. Sexy, mature woman who knows what she wants was the vibe it gave me.
I feel like if I tried this again in 10 or 15 years, I might be able to pull it off. At this stage in my life though, I’m looking for something a bit less on-the-prowl. I feel like the person who could rock this perfume would invoke an air of mystery and allure. Right now I’m just stumbling around trying to make sure my crawling daughter doesn’t stick something in her mouth that is going to require a hospital visit.
I do rather like the boozy note though. I’ll have to look for that in another fragrance for my once-in-a-blue-moon nights out.
andreynekuri – :
kinda smells like powdery boozy play doh and lipstick..or a cheap brand powder compact makeup..bees wax maybe? some sort of strange powdery makeup scent. boozy as in an old and nearly empty keg of beer sitting around for days after a party.. flat and nasty. or like, home made fruit flavored wine gone bad. rotten star fruit, dead white florals, vanilla bug spray infusion. lol, don’t ask. I can’t even explain this one. I definitely can’t decipher any notes. I wanted this for sooo long, and finally got it in a swap not long ago. I had such high hopes. I thought it would be a new one… it sounded like just my type of perfume. but alas, I REALLY dislike this. I think I actually found it to be okay for a hot minute..wore it a few times… and wore the lotion here and there. but with the lotion, I’d catch whiffs of it and it truly smelled like play doh. and i’ll tell ya, it really ticked me off that this wasn’t what I had dreamt it was. even the bottle wasn’t pretty as pictured here. the picture looks like it has like fish netted print, pretty gold color, etc. in person, it’s just this nondescript brown color with tacky looking tribal designs… whattt
I bet I could describe the scent in more detail.. esp cause I never really sat there and tried to smell what was going on. but I’m mad at this stuff and I’m not wasting any more time on it. putting it in the past (my swap list,) and moving on…
I just can’t lol. I’m done.
I tried it again last night. And nope. Still can’t tell ya what I smelled exactly. I ran to wash it off.
misho – :
Got a 3.4 oz bottle of Guess byMarciano for $18 at the local discount store. I definitely like this. On me, I will be honest…I actually cannot smell the individual notes. It is warm, sweet, lightly powdery, definitely boozy. For me, the projection is light to moderate but the longevity is good (about 6 hours in 100+ degree heat).
Flelvegax – :
This sounds wonderful. So I bought it. The description was right up my alley. The problem is that it ‘sounds’ perfect. Unfortunately it ‘smells’ like nothing!!! I get zero zip bupkis!!
Boynxe – :
All time favorite. Oriental boozy tootsie roll vanilla. Year round goodness. Yummy.
wasoki – :
This reminds me of something else I own but I can’t for the life of me figure it out. It’s very nice citrus/spicy vanilla. the boozy vibe is definitly there. Very well blended and smooth it’s a nice summer scent that isn’t too sweet. Just enough. I really like this. After awhile the musk becomes more prominent and this smells like a slightly spicy cousin of Gaultier 2. The silage isn’t massive but it’s not too bad either. UPDATE: could still smell it on my skin after I showered so it passes my longevity test with flying colors!
oleg74 – :
I think I actually owned a bottle and ended up giving it away. I decided to revisit this since it was 14.99 in TJ Maxx. Its not sweet enough for me. I mean, there is only “hint” of sweetness, its has more spicier oriental feel. Its not sharp, very smooth and subtle scent. Guess is not exactly a company that makes you think “elegant” but that’s what this fragrance is.
I have to give it few days and see how I feel about it. Right now, I am not in love due to low sweetness factor
UPDATE:
I finally smelled the sweet notes and thought it was great-spicier, mildly sweet, floral oriental, which was almost incensy. I really started liking it but then I realized that no one could smell it. It immediately turns into skin scent.
Total bummer and I ended up returning it
xander40 – :
Marshall score! Sweet and sharp plus fresh and slightly fruity.LOVE. Vanilla beauty.<3
alkool – :
Honestly I have become so picky with perfumes. I need them to be balanced, sweet but not too sweet, gourmand but not too gourmand, etc. I need longevity. I want to be able to wear it anytime! This $30 perfume fits that bill for me ladies and gentlemen I’m so happy I bought this. It was a blind buy and very often blind buys don’t turn out well for me. I don’t know if I have a signature scent because it’s so hard to just pick one but I’m telling you all this is signature scent material. Someone said “vanilla on a vacation” and that’s what I get here, citrusy vanilla that is also deep and smells put together if that makes sense i could see myself being able to wear this anytime and that’s what I needed. I also have an old bottle of guess gold wichich was a favourite for many years and this is kind of like it’s cousin 🙂
bragnik – :
Opened with citrus… Go to fresh and last a little bit Vanila and Musk..
Not similar with 212 Sexy, 212 warm and smooth, Marciano Fresh,sweet,rich and Cheerful…
Enjoy with smell and for daily activities…. But it’s strong, be careful…
Loangoiidauz – :
It has all the right notes. It should work on me. I should love it. But there is something synthetic and a little off about it. My coworker ran for her inhaler and hid from me. So this one is definitely NSFW. It reminds me of Beyoncé Pulse. But I like Pulse better. It’s nice. I don’t hate it, but I thought I’d love it. Luckily it’s inexpensive. I’ll wear it around the house and to freshen up the bedding.
Dimitry – :
ENORMOUS SILLAGE AND LONGEVITY, FILLS THE ROOM 🙂 I LOVE THIS PERFUME, SMELL IS SOO SWEET AND RICH :))
nikki4 – :
I bought this because SA claimed that it’s a sweet vanilla scent and a 3.4 oz bottle was only 20 bucks
First time I tried it,I was really disappointed,I had not checked it’s notes that time,but I could say there is definitely cardamom and a citrus note in it.it wasn’t warm and sweet.on me it was an almost fresh spicy citrus ina faint musky vanilla base
But I didn’t give up and decided to wear it for a week.it grew on me amazingly.I don’t know what was wrong with my nose that couldn’t pick up thissmuch sweetness!
It still opens with cardamom-citrus.but as honeysuckle kicks in,it becomes less juicy and less sharp.oh I adore honey suckle and it’s very faint here but little better than nothing.drydown is heavenly with a hint of musk and woods and a dominant boozy vanilla and LOTS of sugar
I love sweet scents and there’s almost nothing sweet enough for me,well this is!it’s very sweet and this is a plus for me.I can’t blaim vanilla for all the sweetness,I’m sure there is an unlisted sugar nore helping boozy vanilla.I’m very happy I gave it some time.when I’m craving for something sweet(and almost always during cold months I’m craving for sweeties)this can calm me down
Longevity is very good.+6 hours and sillage is huge in first hour but then it becomes moderate
Although marciano is a sweet delicious fragrance I can see nothing childish in it and although it’s very sweet,it’s not really cloying or syrupy.it’s a cold weather perfume and can be very annoying and headache inducing in heat
I like the bottle
❤❤❤❤
Germans – :
This is yumminess
Delicious gourmand notes and liquored scents of curacao, citrus, soft florals, soft woods and vanilla. The main attraction in this fragrance is the curacao which is a tropical booze from the Caribbean island of Curacao in the Dutch Antilles. It’s an orange flavored liquor, blue in color. It smells just like it when it opens. It’s got citrus notes courtesy of a grapefruit and some star fruit/carambola just to give it that tropical island air. It smells like a cabana by a pool in a hotel in Puerto Rico, or an outdoor terrace restaurant in the Caribbean, with this exotic booze wafting into the air.
The florals are pushed aside and they can’t do anything but swim in a pool of blue booze. The only flower scent I picked up on was honeysuckle and peony. This honeysuckle is not a big one but it is sweet and honeyed, so I guess it’s just another form of honey. The peony and jasmine are probably together but they are faint and just a little bit powdery. The florals are not the key players. That opening of grapefruit-curacao is. The honeysuckle is probably the dominant “floral” aspect of the scent. It embraces the dry down of pure vanilla.
This is a creamy rich vanilla with a sweetness almost like vanilla frosting. It’s beautifully recreated to smell like vanilla as one remembers it from a dessert. If this was drinkable, I’d put this perfume liquid into my mouth. It would have to taste as good as it smells. The vanilla is so nice.
Now if this fragrance does not go well with your skin chemistry and you don’t care for citrus, honeysuckle or vanilla, then sample it first and never buy it blindly or just look for perfumes that might have similar notes but are more wearable for you. This kind of perfume reminds me of fragances like Siren by Paris Hilton or Juicy Couture, but it’s not as fruity. This is not really that fruity as it is vanilla and booze.
This is grown up but not sophisticated. It’s like a fragrance tailor made for a very laidback California girl in her early 20’s, she wears bikinis, and shorts all year round and big oversized glasses. This perfume totally matches up with summer clothing that I like to wear and it reminds me of my Malibu.
I love it! It’s too bad summer’s over and I can’t wear it anymore. However it has been an unusual September weather of 100 degrees here lately and this fragrance hits the spot.
slavaas – :
I like this one a lot it is perfect for fall.I am not usually fond of citrus but the orange-spiciness is so yummy. (I know it says grapefruit but to me it smells like orange). It goes good with BBW Cashmere Glow lotion or the Vanilla Sugar lotion as well. I got a 100 ml bottle for $20 at Shoppers Drug Mart, Lasting power is pretty good. Glad to have it and hope to always have it in my collection It does last quite well on clothes at least three or four days.
rushan93 – :
Ughh!! So I finally was able to get my hands on this perfume after reading countless reviews of people saying that it was a nice spicy vanilla/caramel type of scent that will impress any man lol. Well….it smells like alcohol and baby powder on me 🙁 I sprayed this on my wrist every night for about 4 days to see if I could get any of the vanilla/caramel notes and nope, just powdery spice. I only paid around $15 for it on ebay and I’m sending it back ASAP!
Oh and the perfume was really weak on my skin too. It only lasted two hours tops! I actually went into the guess store today while I was at the mall to see if they still had this perfume so I could test it & make sure that I didnt get a fake. Unfornately, they didnt have this scent in stores.
dieux999 – :
Wow I miss this frag so much! I had bought this in the end of summer of 2006 and I loved it through the fall and winter! Such good memories with this one! I felt sexy, independent and I can hear destiny’s child singing in the background while I wore it! Independent ladies!!! Lol sweet, musky, sexy little frag!
macaulaytippins – :
Lip gloss! Sticky/tacky, fruity, tween girl lip gloss. And then I’m drinking a fruity, colorful drink in some bar that wants to be a tropical paradise, but doesn’t have any sand nearby. This is so sweet, a dark heavy sweet; it’s all waxy fruit sugars and syrupy booze sweetness; the flowers bring the tropics, and it’s oddly adorable. It mellows a little and loses the lip gloss vibe after about an hour but remains very sweet. The musk comes up and it’s a sweet skin musk for a few more hours.
leshy11 – :
I LOVE this scent. This is Pink Sugar who comes home to visit a few weeks every summer with tons of racy clothes and stories to tell. It’s warm, sweet, sexy, nice projection and long-lasting. I always get tons of compliments from men when I wear this. I agree with the review that said this is great perfume to wear when you know you’re going to get a little physical with someone. Somehow it smells ten times better after I’m done making out with my man.
Vasilisa – :
I just got this one and I do like it. On me it smells like a cross between “Meow” by Katy Perry and “Fleur defendue” by Lolita lempicka. I pick up a lot of the vanilla, which is not straight vanilla, but it is mixed nicely with a hint of citrus. I am testing this in summer warmth but imagine it would be nice in cooler months too. Not unique or amazing, but a pleasant addition. Probably a safe blind buy.
Edit: Very comforting scent that I wore a lot last summer. Plan to this summer too.
savas1965 – :
This is a very sweet smelling fruity tropical perfume. Oh, it’s like a cool (not hot) summer night just after sun down by the sea/marina (insert location: Honolulu Hawaii, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Florida) at a restaurant. The scent of curacao is very strong here. Curacao is an island in the Caribbean part of the Dutch Antilles and next to Bonaire. As a paid entertainer/showgirl in cruise lines like Princess and Royal Caribbean, I’ve been to this island before and the curacao drink they made there is exactly what this smells like. It’s a fruity boozy orange flavored cocktail. If you like citrus in your alcohol, and now you transform it into a sweet perfume smell, then you’ll be in for a treat. There’s also floral flashes of soft pink peony, jasmine and honeysuckle. The florals are light but detectable especially the honeysuckle which blends with the citrus and the booze. This smells like orange flavored root beer when the weather gets too hot but it smells much more floral and creamy like an ice cream float in cooler weather. The dry down is vanilla, very very good vanilla. Creamy, sweet, gourmand vanilla. I like to wear this scent during my cruise jobs but I like it so much that even back home in Florida I wear this to parties. This is totally a party perfume for the summer months.
STEVE-O – :
Flirty, sultry, attention-grabbing. These are the words that automatically come to my mind when i think of this perfume. It was pretty much love at first sniff when my mom gave this fragrance to me. Fruity and sweet with a hint of spice and musk. It can be worn during the day but is particularly very appropriate for a sexy night out. Spray lightly, otherwise it can become overwhelming. I’ll definitely buy this one again.
Alexil77 – :
It’s sweet, floral, woody and gourmand. I can’t tell who is winning the race either. I also can’t tell if I like this or hate it. It smells like a cocktail of caramel and cheap bourbon garnished with honeksuckle flowers. This smells so mid-2000s and pretty tacky, but it’s also sort of charming.
qfv982JeomiWogkig – :
I wish there was a “Not Sure” option above, in addition to “like” or “dislike”. I really *want* to like this. It was a blind buy, and based on the description I was hoping it might be similar to original Guess. I smell a lot of the good things that reviewers have noted: the jasmine, amber, vanilla, blended with other notes (including something decidedly woods-y) I can’t quite define. All things I like in perfumes.
Sadly, on top of it all, overpowering it, is some unidentified note that my nose interprets as baby powder. Something about my body chemistry just doesn’t work well with this.
I’m quite envious of those of you who can pull it off, because the descriptions here sound absolutely lovely.
Incidentally, an Etsy seller who makes “impostors” of designer fragrances sent me a sample of her version of this. When I removed the lid from the sample vial, I instantly recognized the fragrance and the similarity to the original, but I absolutely loved it! I have yet to test it on my skin, but I’m convinced that what I smelled in the vial is actually how this perfume is meant to be experienced. If it’s as nice on my skin as it is in the vial, this Guess by Marciano replica could easily become a favorite.
starii – :
I love it.. Muskiness n woodsy.. On my skin it linger all day.. It is sexy. Good projection. And very intimidating.. Good for a long sex session LOL
google – :
A honeyed gourmand with a bitter undercurrent that actually improves it and stops it from being full on treacle. If you like the sweet stuff this could be a good affordable alternative to the fairy floss that’s out there.

im disappointed in this scent. I wasnt able to smell it before buying it. i just dont like it. Its not “me” or my style. If anybody would like to do a swap with me that would be awesome. the bottle is about 98% full.
PS..that kind of scents i enjoy…Sweet, fresh, vanilla, citrus, powdery, aquatic, gourmand
favorite perfumes..pink friday, viva la juicy, meow by katy perry, Pink chiffon, Britney spears perfumes
jeka934173 – :
I get no vanilla in this
zimka1 – :
Guess by Marciano is not a bad scent, far from it. It’s a decent sweet one, but it gets too cloying to my nose and almost headache-inducing. It’s probably the combo of vanilla (which I can’t really detect), fruits (which come through as sweetness), curaçao liqueur (which does come through). The opening is sweet and loud. The drydown is strange with a musky/floral note showing up and not really meshing well with the rest of the sweet notes and I can’t get over that. It always smells like there’s something ‘off’ about the whole thing. It’s nothing like I’ve ever smelled before (among other perfumes of its category that is), I’ll give it that.
It has decent sillage and okay lasting power. I tested this when the weather was warmer (not in the heat because I’m not insane) and when it was colder. It’s definitely a cold weather scent because the cold gives a chance for the fruit to shine and makes the scent lighter and way less cloying.
All in all, for me, it’s a bit unique, but not really. I got it at a relatively cheap price, so I can’t really complain. It’s not that I don’t like it. I like it when it doesn’t try to suffocate me. Which is most of the time I wear it, so I’ll probably only use it lightly or when it’s cold outside.
15bigandrew15 – :
Is this the same Guess repackaged?
That was once this reddish orangish
juice in that Triangular Crystal bottle
with accompanying black cap? If so
then this is in the same family (or so
it seems to me at least!) as Rapture
by Victoria’s Secret. Both throaty &
heavy, on the verge of offensive rude
and vulgar, but doesn’t Quite reach that
stage thanks to some heavy duty candying
affect at the dry down, as long as used
with intelligence. NEVER a summer
scent. Winter ONLY and discreetly.
These are lingerie scents although I
don’t like them even for that. They
try WAY too hard and scream too
loud. Befitting as American perfumes,
as no French would ever consider
such overstatement in perfumery.
Peace

Marciano would be a love for me because I love the notes. When I spray on my skin, it seems as if it just disappears in five minutes flat. It lasts longer on fabric, though. I smell the Curacao and starfruit immediately; the vanilla comes through and I get a little bit of wood just before it disappears. Its probably my chemistry, because in my opinion this is a very nice fragrance.
renat-n1981 – :
Mmm. Creamy vanilla and booze. Not sure if I want to smell like this but I like the smell on my wrist for a little while. Very warm and cozy. Might be a nice bedroom scent for when you want to feel edible & sexy. This reminds me a lot of the body shop vanilla oil except with a little more kick. Projects very well with decent longevity. Might consider this in the future for winter when I am in the mood for vanilla.
malixini – :
This is a boozy yet chic vanilla. It reminds me a little of Bonbon and Fantasy. However, this fragrance is sweet, but not as sweet as them. The curucao and the vanilla, and citrus remind me of Pulse. They are a little similar but more different more than anything.
This one does not cause me a headache like Bonbon and Pulse. It lasts up to four hours with my chemistry. The projection is medium. The musk and the wood note give it that creaminess that adds sophistication to the fun notes. Very well done!
pauk – :
Very good value! Lovely vanilla and toffee caramel is what I get, among some warm spices. So much more interesting than prada candy and so much more affordable. Smells good on men too, my younger brother keeps using it. Quite strong and long lasting! (Wonder if different countries have differing concentrations of formulation?)
Kostya909 – :
This is the kind of fresh vanilla I have been searching for!!! I find the sickly sweet vanilla too much sometimes and this is a perfect vanilla, its non offensive. It doesnt project well which is actually good for me considering I have people in my life who dont like smelling perfumes.
Choopac – :
So fresh! Vanilla on vacation, crispy and warm sunshine-type. This is not a cookie vanilla. So snuggle worthy- but also ready to take on the day. The floral notes are blended well and give the vanilla a sexy edge.
This is an uplifting, soft fragrance. I can’t imagine anyone wearing this with a grumpy attitude. Would saying “yummy yum yum” be repetitive for how yummy this smells?
