Badgley Mischka Couture

I think this scent is absolutely lovely. I love its softness and smoothness. To me, it's what those scents that aspire to be representative of "cashmere" really ought to smell like. I love the way this perfume changes over time, how it goes from studly smelling to "Auntie Mame", to a gentle, comforting, sensual, cashmere feeling. It is, in a good way, a little bit retro, a little bit glamorous, and a little bit masculine. It is completely without the brutal notes found in some masculine colognes, and only has the sexy vetiver, patchouli, and musk. While some fragrances with these notes may smell a bit dirty, this one does not. With this on, I smell a bit like I've been kissing a gorgeous, tasteful, well dressed man and his cologne has mingled with mine. In the complete dry down, the vetiver and patchouli back off, leaving a lovely, feminine fragrance which is so comforting to me that I could sleep with this on. This is when I smell the pear, plumb, jasmine, and gardenia. I never actually picked up any gardenia specifically, but I believe it's detectable in a blended-in way.

I am in love! Badgley Mischka Couture is such a twin sister to Chanel Allure Sensuelle! I can definitely smell blackberry, patchouli, vetiver and gardenia, jasmine mixed in a way as to remind me of Allure Sensuelle every time I wear it. It is sexy, classy, perfect for a lady that's self confident and elegant. Great for formal meetings as well as special dinner at the posh restaurant. A real head turner! It lasts a good while (6-7 hours) without the need of reapplying. Lasts much longer if applied at the back of your neck. Silage is more than decent. And the bottle is to die for. I absolutely love it! Badgley Mischka signature is more caramel-ish; naughty, sexy, fun, Couture, on the other hand, is a more mature and extremely sensual fragrance. 10/10

This smells like the love child of two already great fragrances - the early 2000s Gucci with the brown liquid and heavy round glass lid and Dolce and Gabbana's underrated Sicily. Couture is a great solid powerful fragrance better suited to night. It also manages to be sexy and classy at the same time - definitely one for impressing the opposite sex!

Really nice from start to finish. It starts with the perfect blend of blackberry, plum and pear, just a hint of gardenia and jasmine peeking through. It really smells like vanilla is in there sweetening and softening things though it's not in the notes. It gradually softens with the berry & plum notes remaining strong until the dry down when they soften to a whisper. The dry down is pleasant and vanilla like with plum still hanging on. A good all around scent for any weather, evening or daytime. If you like plum & berry notes you should like it. I will add the lasting power is great and after around 6 hours I could still smell it.

nice, very plummy, little smokey - nothing revolutionary though. :)
