B.H.P.C. Sexy for Her

I've seen this at TJMaxx or Marshalls so often and wondered about it. When a package set with the Eau de Parfum went on clearance because the cap of the body mist was missing, I grabbed it. After all, with four simple notes of Damascus rose, Patchouli, Cinnamon and Tonka bean, how could I go wrong? I love the accords of these notes. Believe me, I didn't go wrong at all. This is one of my best blind buys. There is a woody essence to Sexy that underlies it all. It's not strong, it's as if it's the base from which the rest of this perfume grows. Imagine a solid chunk of wood, heavy and rich with grains and circles. That's the base of Sexy For Her. Growing out of it is a sweet and young patchouli plant. Patchouli that brings me back to when patchouli was unadulterated and not bogged down with other sources. Now wait-there's a hint of spices growing in the middle, just a hint. Cinnamon...perhaps cloves are peeking through the patchouli. But it's the patchouli plant that's full and lush and growing tall. This is a carefree, free spirit's perfume. Think denim shirts, long flowing skirts, brass jewelry...unadulterated purity. It's not a dated patchouli, mind you, just a sweet (as in pleasant-not gourmand or fruity sweet), gratifying and lightly honeyed embrace of a perfume. Polo Club Sexy is syrupy, yet not cloyingly so. Its opening fizzes at you with a burst and quickly simmers down to a delectable treat for hours. It's a make you feel good scent. Is it sexy? If you love patchouli, then most definitely. JDL Fragrances made this version and for once, someone remembered how to do patchouli right. Altho seasonless, I'm looking forward to wearing this in the summer months when the heat of one's body warms with this type of perfume to make one feel dreamily sexy and comfortable in one's own skin. You wear Polo club Sexy, it doesn't wear you. The bottle is a heavy, deep amethyst-colored chunky glass emblazoned with the name and topped with a large cap with faux stones. This is a hidden gem for true patchouli fans at a great price who don't want too many other notes mixed in. Wear it anywhere with confidence, it's such a delectable scent.

I used to love this (review f/ 11 years ago below). Yesterday I saw this, which looked different but this is the writing off of the box: “An oriental floral w/orange blossom & bergamot, jasmine,, rose, musk.” Information here appears incorrect. Reformulated but still pretty- lacks depth & longevity, doesn’t project. I still find it womanly & alluring. I wore it on a warm spring day. The temp had my skin warm & when the perfume hit it, I felt cocooned in a scent veil all afternoon. It clung close to me. Sexy for Her-great name because I kept thinking it may be sexy on “her” (someone else). The HOT version: “Vibrant, Attractive w/a Modern Twist. A splendid combo of jasmine, black truffle: yang, yang, woodsy notes of patch, & sandalwood.” I was instantly struck by the similarity to Estée Lauder Spellbound. It is Christmas time spent reading the Sunday paper next to a tree & crackling fire, watching the snow fall wearing silk pajamas & wool socks. I smell pine, something warm like a funky vanilla (truffle), & strong carnation notes. The natural scent of carnation is primarily eugenol, (a component in the makeup of cloves), which explains the spicy, balsam profile. Ever a fangirl of the iconic Revlon FLEX shampoo? You know the balsam I speak of. Soft, & every time you moved seemed to whisper a scream of “come hither”. This is that. Yuletide sexy. Both $11 ea. Bottles are meh...yet substantial. Not as nice as the originals. These are in the realm of the “Cuba Cigar” brand. If you like warm, woody, boyfriend type florals: EL Spellbound, Vintage Jovan Sex Appeal for Her, or Boss Mom by Tru you may enjoy these. Thank you for taking time to read my review. Best wishes 🫶🏻🌷

Penny Urn'd is right about the other fragrances missing in the data base. I will say I picked up the "Sexy Hot" (flanker) in a small bottled version & it is almost as good as this one! The Sexy Hot is in a hot fuchsia tone glass bottle with a clear acrylic stopper...not much to look at, but pretty & simple, just like this one. And at a price point of less than $10, who really cares?!? It is similar in feel, but has a lighter, fruit note that is more bright than this one. This just feels warmer & darker. Mysterious & sexy. Sexy Hot is the flirty younger sister, but she can't stay up past her bedtime & that is when this one works best~night time, summertime & when it's warmed to your body. I would wear this in cooler months though & could see how the patchouli might cool it down enough to make it work just as well in other seasons. Anyway, I have reviewed this before, but have revisited this & wanted to add a few points. Again, this is amazing in the heat of summer. It warms to the skin & almost seems to come alive and have its own heartbeat or pulse. It is not a shy scent, & although direct, it has good manners...it is a very tender fragrance & wafts about beautifully letting others know it's there but not because it slapped their nose. If you like The Anniversary (Limited Edition) of Narciso Rodriguez for women (pink bottle, black box), you will probably like this. Cheers!

Warm, enticing. Elicits a lot of, "mmmmmm!!! What's that you're wearing?!?" comments & neck nuzzles. The floral notes make it feminine. The cinnamon is a note that drives a lot of guys crazy. It's just good stuff. I am not sure if these are meant to be Polo knock-offs or not...I'm guessing so because of the shape of the bottles and the names. I have RL Polo "Hot" (not sure if it is No. 3 or 4?!) and they do have a similar vibe. The heat of August summer nights brings out the amazing warmth of this fragrance & it smells much richer and more expensive than it's modest price tag. Don't pass this gem by!

Fresh rose, sexy patchouli, I love this!

I deleted my first review because at first when I tried this all I could smell was harsh soap. But I can smell it now! Wonder what was wrong with my nose? Maybe I needed summer heat to warm this one up. This and Fancy Nights are two underrated beauties I use for my night-time aromatherapy before bed!! Puts me in a pampered, relaxed, dreamy mood. Need a bigger bottle! To me, this is an aromatic herbal, dry rose and patchouli. I don't get much cinnamon except in tiny whiffs as a layer with the rose, and something a bit powdery sweet, almost musky weaved in. Tonka lends a bit of sweet depth to dry down. Longer lasting than the flankers on me. Really really nice. Unisex easily, like a fancy lush herbal soap you'd get at a posh hotel. Lasts quite a while. Bought in a 3-pack at Burlington with flankers. Quick impression of flankers: Sexy Sheer: sparkling grapefruit, (lemon?) apple, patchouli- delicious but short lived. (2-3 hrs) Sexy Joy: like a sweet Opium or sweeter Smoky Poppy from Body Shop. Rose, cinnamon, maybe a little patchouli and sugar. Also low to moderate longevity. The bottles/sprayers are all terrible quality. Too bad, the fragrances are wonderful!

Sexy spicy and actually kind of fresh/herbal (must be the damask rose?). I don't get much of the cinnamon. On my skin this is patchouli and a fresh deep rose kind of scent. Great fragrance for any season in my opinion. I have seen this many times in discount stores and always look right past it. Sampled it at TJMaxx today in the body mist....and WOW!!. I love it. Now I want to go back to get the perfume set! It was only $10 for the perfume and small mist together. Great cheapie scent. Feminine and sexy. I could see this being a great signature scent. I see myself wearing this in spring, summer and fall or on a summer night. Longevity is about 3 hours on my skin and sillage is moderate to soft. For the price it's worth it. Smells great. EDIT: After about a month the sprayer stopped working and putting another nozzle on didn't work either. I had to throw it away. Sad the scent is in such a cheaply made bottle. I still own the body mist though it's just as fragrant so I will make do. Won't repurchase the perfume again because of the sprayer issue. Even if it is cheap as dirt it's not worth it if you can't spray it. :(

This EDP is patchouli heaven and sends me off to daydream land. I'm not sure how, but it seems to be exciting and calming at the same time. The rose is deep and velvety and there is just a touch of cinnamon to add the extra dimension of spice to the rose. I feel this suits day or night, it's gorgeous in the summer and I think will be beautiful in autumn. This perfume is not common at all where I live. I went against my "no more blind buying" rule to purchase this one. Well I can safely say I have my first true-blue blind buying success right here. I agree with Bonnie52 and the comparison of this scent to Fancy Nights and Prada Amber, and with Sorceress's wonderful description.

This reminds me a lot of Prada Amber and jessica Simpson Fancy Nights. I am not getting a lot of patchouli but lots of yummy amber. Very nice, especially nice price. Decent sillage. I recently tried this on a really hot day. Wow! All the yummy sweetness of the rose came through making this so much more beautiful!

I bought a 2 oz bottle of this at TJ Maxx and the sprayer is really crappy. Just to warn anybody who wants to buy this there. This is probably one of longer lasting perfumes. I had a body spray that I also bought (but swapped that) and the body spray lasted 6 hours on me and the perfume lasted about 8!

The opening smells like it has a dominant citrus to me, which is odd since no citrus notes are listed. I definitely get the rose, cinnamon and tonka in the drydown. They blended really well with the patchouli. Didn't really last long though. I gave this away to my mother. She loved it.

Due to the looks of Beverly Hills Polo Club Sexy For Her, (the box and the bottle) I would never have purchased it, if it weren't for the positive reviews on Fragrantica. It satisfies my need for a warm-spicy Cinnamon fragance and it is at a close-to-nothing pricetag.

I grew up with this perfume! The opening smells like raspberries to me... but the longer it sits, I can definitely smell the rose and patchouli. The cinnamon note gives it a warmer, less floral scent.

I just ordered this on eBay because all of the positive reviews and people saying they smell the cinnamon note. I don't get that at all. There is something very caustic about it, like something didn't mix well, although it could be my body chemistry not too quite sure. It's one of those headache causing perfumes. I keep trying it in hopes that it was a negative first impression, but no still very stinky in my opinion. I even felt that maybe it was another one of their scents and it may have been mislabeled. My bottle is metallic rosy gold look at the top with pink glass.Perhaps they changed the formula. I don't know. I wouldn't blind buy this fragrance. I am disappointed 😞, thank gosh it was a cheaper purchase.

I bought this after reading the reviews on here, and though I'm disappointed that it doesn't smell like Black Amethyst as others said it had, it does smell nice. At first I thought it was a bit masculine, and after the drydown I would call it more unisex. Update: The longer I wear this the more I dislike it. It's giving me a headache. I really wanted to like it but it just smells like an old man. No more blind buys for me.

I found the perfume and body mist set for about $5 on sale at Walmart many years. I am kind of perfume snob and figured if I didn't like it,didn't lose money. I do think this is a pretty fragrance, didn't think I'd like it. I wear this sometimes at night to sleep in, aromatherapy. Of course, perfume is stronger than body mist, like them both. I can smell the Rose, patchouli, and amber. It kind seems like a more expensive fragrance if you don't know what it is. I usually run away from fragrances called "sexy" they are usually sickening. I think hoochie mama perfume. I doubt I'd repurchase, my bottle is still almost full but I think it's pretty underrated. I read that some have problems with sprayer and 1 woman threw her whole bottle away 😳. FYI, YOU CAN UNSCREW THE TOP AND MAKE IT A SPLAH, DON'T THROW AWAY. My first bottle of Guerlain Insolence 1.7 oz sprayer didn't work and I was EASILY able to unscrew top and put back on so I didn't lose any. If you do have this problem and are unable to easily remove the sprayer part, you can use pliers to remove. It will be a splash but won't be wasted. If for some reason you can't get top back on bottle, you can cut paper towel to size and then put cap over, make sure it's snug fitting. You can YouTube how to use pliers to remove. Also, you can just poor into another atomizer, maybe one of these vintage style with tassels and a bulb. Obviously, you can do this with any spray perfume you have a problem with. I think for the price, much cheaper than a little sample vial, it's worth the risk. I'm sure someone would love it if you don't. Last FYI. I hear women say they didn't like something and threw it away, yikes! Take your beauty products, bath, perfume, makeup, etc. and donate to a woman's shelter, esp Domestic Violence shelters. Many of those women have to leave everything behind when they escape their abuser and they are so grateful to have our "hand me downs". My Grandparents and their 7 children grew up during the depression and you did not waste a thing. Even though my Grandfather Papa Dutch was blessed with a wonderful job, they weren't hurting but so many were. Grandma would feed anyone who came by and took in every stray animal around. That woman had 3 dresses total and wore her long white hair in a bun. She was not frivolous about anything. Her parents immigrated from Germany in mid 1800's and settled in Fredericks, TX a German community. It's so hard to imagine how they watched every single penny and our generation, grandkids have so much more than we'll ever need. Our parents were raised well by our grandparents and they taught us to be grateful and not be wasteful. Mom and her 6 siblings (yes, we're Catholic) remember the Great Depression very well and were all successful but never wasteful or took their blessings for granted. God Bless my grandparents!

Fragrance Review For Beverly Hills Polo Club Sexy For Her By Air Val International Notes: rose, patchouli, cinnamon Tonka I found this fragrance at the home of a girl friend of mine who lives in Manhattan. She let me borrow it and I wore it and was very fascinated by it. This is a linear fragrance without the top middle base note formula which only means that it's the same scent from the first spritz to the dry down. It has very little progression. It's biggest accords are rose and patchouli. I've enjoyed many rose patchoulis before and love that combination. This was not mind blowing but it was pretty good. The patchouli is pretty powerful aromatic and like incense or myrrh. Warm and hot. There was a musk as well. The sweeter gingery notes of cinnamon and spices give it the flavor I look for in Oriental fragrances. This was almost an Oriental but it's missing more Oriental ingredients like sandalwood or jasmine. Beautiful rose and patchouli though and the dry down is vanilla, sweet and very creamy vanilla. There could be other notes that are not listed. Amber for sure. Something woodsy and mossy but not too heavily mossy nor woodsy. There is also a balsamic quality. It feels luxurious like an expensive evening cologne - for a man! This is totally unisex. I wonder who wears this today. It seems to be like a fragrance from the 70s or 80s. I liked it but was not blown away by it.

I was this close- this close!- to reselling this without opening it because of how cheap it looked. (Won in a lot bid on eBay). Well I'm glad I didn't! I am pleasantly surprised. This has a lot of that comforting musky type of patch that is so grounding and blends so well with warm spices. Up close it isn't very smooth, but from arm's length the wafts I get of it are very yummy and earthy and with just a touch of sweetness and rose. EDIT: I dunno what's up with it lately (my nose/perception has changed, perhaps?) but it's almost soapy to me now, even from the opening burst. There's also something about it that's cold, and I like my patch scents warm or sweet so it's not doing it for me. I think it's the type of rose they used, and the cinnamon/tonka aren't coming fwd to warm or spice it up for me at all. Trading my bottle soon...

This is one of the few fragrances I have where I get all of the notes. There are only 4, yeah, but I like that I can detect them all because they work well together. The patchouli is still the strongest though! This is certainly unisex. It smells like a late family member of mine who always smelled of slightly sweet patchouli, so this scent holds a nostalgic charm to it. It's an absolute bomb at the beginning; the cinnamon really deepens this scent. It's almost too strong sometimes. I got this & the matching body spray at Burlington in a set for about $7 USD. The bottle is very cheap and you might have to fiddle with the sprayer to get it to work (or maybe that was just my bottle!). It's a good cheap scent for Winter; it's worth trying if you want a scent like this for cheap. (And it smells nothing like Black Amethyst?)

A gentleman friend in Palm Beach who has seen me perform gave me this fragrance as a gift. I'd never heard of it. He said wear this it's going to make you even more attractive. I think it smells of a rose with a lot of cinnamon and aromatic scents of patchouli, incense and musk. There's probably more going on in this fragrance than the Fragrantica notes suggest. This is a lot of things sweet strong powdery and aromatic. And where did that vanilla come from? O my God this smells so good. This is very sexy. It's definitely an evening perfume to wear out on dates when I want them to be able to smell my fragrance. I'm so glad I got a hold of this as I don't think it's selling any more. This smells very exclusive like only a few women are allowed to wear it lol

Tip: These bottles and the logo on them don't do justice to the pretty fragrances. Turn bottle around and glue on a pretty craft store flower or gem cluster. Update: The Sexy Joy version is a straight up cinnamon. It comes off like a knockoff of Bill Blass Hot or V by Gloria Vanderbilt. I prefer the original Sexy. Update: I found the body spray set on clearance. OMG! These are so strong! Sexy Blue is patchouli. Sexy (light pink) is floral patchouli. The above two could be Jimmy Choo flankers. Embrace is a carnation bomb, the love child of L'air du Temps and Caron Bellodgia. It is also similar to Caron Fleurs de Rocaille. Embrace is my favorite, and gets the best reviews on perfume sites.

This one is nice. It's rich, warm and sophisticated. I picked up Sexy in a 3-pack at TJ Maxx recently for $7. It reminds me a lot of the vintage Lagerfield perfume, Sun Moon Stars, but rounded out with a tonka base note. I don't personally see anyone under 30 wearing this, but I'm 40-something and I love its nostalgic vibe :-) I don't pick up on the rose, but it is spicy-patch-amber-wood-tonka to my nose. A lovely cheapie for sure.

I got this for free with my $2 in Sears points. It is pretty but I probably won't repurchase. It is very blended but if I try to i.d notes I think I smell creamy apricot, cardamom, amber and a soft and subtle patchouli with a touch of fresh light pink rose. I really like the dry herbal element in the midstage and drydown. Not long lasting on my dry skin, but stronger than a body spray.

It's so strange how people perceive notes differently, yet so true. I get CINNAMON when I see a ton of ppl do not even smell the cinnamon note. It's alright for 5.99 at TJMaxx, but I won't repurchase unless something changes, b/c that does happen sometimes!

This perfume right away gives off a warm cinnamon and patchouli scent then goes into a beautiful rose scent. Very affordable perfume the only downfall is it doesn't last very long on me.

Heavy patchouli in here reminds me of a cheaper smelling angel, not a fan, way too pungent.
