My place or yours Gina

oh Gina, you had me at hello! this gorgeous juice is equal parts patchouli and vanilla/tonka bean with top notes of raspberries and pink pepper. its sultry, spicy, sophisticated and smells like a million bucks. lord knows i love a good bargain and these stunning little gold bottles are around $35 each making it easy for just about anyone to smell like they spent a fortune on their perfume. i have no idea who the nose is behind benefits scents but if they were here right now i'd high-five them. both Gina and Noelle are like nothing i have ever smelt before and if the others are anything like them, i'll be adding several more "names" to my collection.

LoooOOOooove! This is subdued sexy-- fruity spice but creamy. The packaging will pull you in but the scent will keep you coming back for more-- I have easily been through four bottles. Once I told one member of my family what I was wearing then an aunt went and bought some--- then a cousin-- then my grandmother. That's just too many people I have to experience wearing my then signature scent ( I know.. how bratty of me!) . I have since moved onto Hanae Mori but I do look back once in a while and smell my old bottles and sometimes squeeze out a spritz or two!

This is one of my favorites. I hate straight patchouli oil but am learning that I love it in perfume. I hardly detect any straight fruitiness which to me is a good thing. I also find the longevity to be better than other reviewers. Put it on at 5:00 tonight, still smelling it nicely at 9:30. I do find some sweetness but it's not overpowering and nicely balanced by the pepper and wood. I am complimented almost everytime I wear this, especially by men. One even had me write it down so he could buy it for his girlfriend. What more could you ask for?

Sweet but Spicy! It's a luscious sweet like a like something you'd want to eat and a warm-peppery spice, cozy and inviting. Kind of seductive even. I love it. Thought the scent doesn't last long and nor does the bottle. The bottle is pretty small. But I am in love with this scent and would certainly buy it again & would love to explore all of the Crescent Row scents. Should my college gal, starving artists funds ever permit ... hah!

I absoloutly love this! Between the three this is my definate favorite. Its so smokey but sweet at the same time, it has a spiciness that I just adore and as you can see its also a bonus that we share the same name! Its definately somthing that would attract peoples attention, its a very, very unique smell and nothing like anything I've ever worn before!

This is a lovely soft patchouli fragrance balanced out by sublte florals and fruits. There is sweetness and smoothness that makes this very wearable. Although its not listed, I detect a hint of pineapple. This is my favorite of the Benefit line that I've tried.

This one is from the kind of scents I prefer to wear ) Berry-fruity, a little peppery and floral. Seductive, but not overpowering, not too sharp and not too soft. Not too sour. It is my favorite from this series of six scents

a very sweet scent and floral scent and even better that benefit has perfumes that fit every kind of person just right e.g. rita,bella,sophia,gina and much more!!!

I absolutely love this perfume....I bought it a couple of years ago (2009 or 2008)and the bottle is still half full. Smells so good.

A sweet smelling gourmand perfume. It smells like vanilla, praline, chocolates with fragrant flowers. A glamorous scent.

I got this as part of the limited edition Crescent Row holiday set, which was a blind buy when Benefit had a buy one get one promo after the holidays were over. I love the sweetness of this one, with a hint of dark and spicy. Angel didn't really come to mind, but after reading some reviews, I now think they do have a little bit of similarity, though I still would not compare the two (I still prefer Angel by far). The patchouli and tonka particularly catch my fancy, as I seem to be partial to those notes. I think of this as suitable for a romantic occasion, and better for cooler weather. Since I live in a hot and humid country, I consider it better for evening, though I still do use it during the daytime, but never during the summer or a normal really hot day, as I feel it would be too suffocatingly sweet for such heat. For this reason, I consider this fragrance a bit special as I couldn't wear it everyday. I am wearing it today though, as it isn't too hot and may even rain later on.

On me, after a few minutes this smells just like Bond No 9 Chinatown...not the entire journey of Chinatown, of course, but the drydown...and I have no idea why but it just does. Unfortunately, a few minutes is about all that this fragrance lasts. Even at only $35 I'm returning this because in my opinion I refuse to buy a perfume from Bloomingdales that lasts an hour. This is a pleasant fragrance, nothing spectacular but definitely pleasant and not too offensive although it is relatively distinct for the type of fragrance it is. If you don't mind this not lasting too long and want something that will be a good scent to keep in your purse in case you need a touch-up, then this isn't bad but, in my opinion, it's nothing more than that.

A really nice earthy sweetness. It initially spritzes as bergamot and berry, but almost immediately dries down to a warm swirl of tonka and very nicely done patchouli. Sometimes patchouli comes off as smooth and sweet, and here, it does that. I can sense a little pepper spicing up the edges. This is a nice choice for a sweet, earthy, slightly spicy fragrance. It has very good lasting power, but I find it mostly to be a skin scent. Spritzed this on when I was purchasing my bottle of Hooked on Carmella. I eventually covered this one with Carmella and they mix very nicely! I think I'll try it again soon...

Very fruity floral scent with sweet gourmand quality. I also get this peppery note in the mix and it is nice. I am not exactly sure but it has this tarty fruity smell of Versace Versus (newly relaunch) and the peppery fruity kick of Gucci Guilty as far as the begining of it. Few hours later, this Gina turns into light sweet and warm oriental. I don't think I get anything woodsy but the peppery note is still detectable at base. My Place or Yours Gina is the coziest one of all these row house perfumes. If you love the peppery fruity scent, then this is for you, but be cautious it is still quite sweet.

This is a beautiful, sweet, patchouli perfume. It doesn't take me to Gina's place, but it definitely takes me to my happy place. It's very cuddly and, surprisingly, pink. It reminds me of a lighter, airy, softer projecting version of La Vie Est Belle. There's no syrupy aspect to it, even though it's heavy with Tonka Bean, and there's really no punch of patchouli. The raspberry isn't jammy at all which is a huge plus for me. The notes seem to balance each other out very well. Longevity is moderate, projection is moderate-to-soft. Me likes a lot.

Powerful stuff! At first I was afraid that it would be too strong to me, but when some alcohol evaporated, fragrance heart turned out to be totally great! Warm, creamy, sexy, alluring, 100% feminine, boudoir and absolutely pleasant! Gina is sophisticated, likes red lipstick, high-heeled shoes and a bit naughty men:) and lives to full... If this is your description, you may like it. Update: I've tested it again and have found out that base notes are lovely! However, middle notes seem to be too intense floral for me.

Goodness this is lovely. It was a toss up for me between this and So Hooked On Carmella. I eventually chose Carmella (which I LOVE) but I still can't get this fragrance out of my head. When pay day comes around I'll get this too and chop and change. However, the lady on the Benefit counter told me each perfume on the line has 'mixing ingredients' meaning you can layer the perfumes and get a good result. To be continued!!

I get almost none of the notes listed accept a VERY SWEEEEEET patchouli, but I love this. On me at least this totally reads as fresh pineapple! And the longevity of this is really astounding, as it lasts all day on me. Also, when sprayed in hair or on clothes, it will stay until its washed, so Im not sure why it is rated to be a much weaker fragrance. Definitely my little gem.

i don't like Angel by Mugler but I love A*men which smells fantastic on my husband. When I smelled Gina I thought I found something similar to A*men but not being Angel. Unfortunately the tester was one thing and the actual EDT another thing, I vaporize like half liter on me and...nothing!!! No silage, no longevity! Too bad for such a great smell!

Mocny, słodki, wyrazisty. Pachnie jak perfumy Beyonce ;) Za słdki na rano, za lekki na wieczór. Więc chyba dobry w środku dnia, na jakis spacer, nic zobowiązującego. Inny od pozostałych. Można kochać lub nienawidzić. Ja raczej lubię :)
