Radiant Seduction Blue For Women

Wearing this at the office currently so figured I'd write a review. Bottle was so colorful and eye-catching, plus I got it super cheap so I bought the big bottle. The first time I used it, I thought it was basically just a fruit bowl sort of scent. Now that I'm wearing it for the 2nd or 3rd time...I am actually picking up those floral notes and I can also pick up the DNA of the original Blue Seduction for women. However, as the reviewer below me mentions...the performance is just so lacking that it isn't something you'll most likely reach for often. I sprayed it on at 8AM...(and I'm heavy handed, I used like 12 sprays)...I'm writing this review at exactly 9AM and it is already a skin scent. I have to put my nose to my arm to smell it. At lunch time I'm going to do a touch up on my neck and arms, and make sure I spray it a bunch of times on my clothes and see if that gives lasting power to it at all and will update later today. Anyway, it is a pretty smell and it is a nice fruity floral for summer. I was hoping to get more Praline as that is a note that I ALWAYS love. But I don't really get any praline at all. I get the tart raspberry at the forefront, a small amount of the pear...and the floral notes. So it's simple, but pretty. Bottle is beautiful. Sprayer works nicely. Just wish the juice were more concentrated. Even 4 hours of projection and I would be happy. But 1 hour?? That's not even worth the low $15 price tag. If you have a young daughter interested in perfume...this could be a good option as it is fun, not sexy or provocative whatsoever, cheap, and comes in a fun bottle that's easy on the eyes. Scent Itself - 7/10 Projection - 2 feet lasting 1 hour. After those 60 mins...skin scent. Longevity - 1 hour. And then remains a skin scent for another 30 mins. So total 90 mins or so. Overall Score - 5/10 Going to try "Her Secret Game" next. I love the other two from that line!

This instantly reminded me of VS Love Spell! I was surprised to see that this has no notes in common with LS. Granted, I haven't smelled LS in YEARS and I understand it's been reformulated, but I vividly remember that popular, juicy "fruit-rollup" smell that filled the hallways in high school when it was released and oh-so-popular. The opening is very alcohol heavy in Radiant Seduction Blue, but it quickly turns fresh and fruity. Definitely smell the pear and raspberry, and tad bit of citrus. There is a juiciness to it that I really enjoy. It has VERY low projection and fades from my skin within an hour. Lasts longer on clothing though, naturally. I'm all for wearing whatever you want regardless of gender or age, but "Seduction"? Not the right name for this. I'm 33 and I felt that it was way too young for me. Very safe, very girly, and more "body spray" than perfume. It's fine for what it is, but I would not go out of my way to get a hold of it. Also, these low and very wide square bottles are awkward to spray; half the stream of fragrance just lands on the bottle and is wasted.

The notes look very similar to Jimmy Choo for women. Probably a smell-a-like.
