The Fragrance from Bill Blass

Beautiful, full, rich florals with a hint of greenery on first sniff. Tuberose you glow in this fragrance like the true princess of flowers you are (Second only to the Queen, the White Lily, in my eyes and of course we mustn't forget her sister, the other Princess the Rose, but that is for another time). This fragrance (I have the edp) is just phenomenal. Very feminine, a bit mysterious and a little sexy on the dry down when you add that rich sandalwood and just a hint of musk to the mix. This is one of the few fragrances that I have been able to smell every single note on the pyramid. I am in love. Longevity was well over 6 hours and I could still smell it on my cloths the next day. It's not too close to the skin, I would say go easy on this one when spraying or it could get cloying for others. Reminds me a little bit of Anais Anais but more complicated and deeper.

This is gorgeous. I was gifted a mini bottle in a swap with a lovely forum member and this perfume is right up my alley: Crisp green hyacinth and lily of the valley supported by a lovely base of well-blended warm white florals. Just glorious. No spiciness at all and is on the sweeter end of the perfumes out there with the classical lily of the valley + hyacinth combo (ex. Envy, Jaipur Bracelet, Live in Love, 5th Ave, Splendor, Brindille, original Parfum d'Ete, etc).

This was a very nice surprise. I bought this perfume very inexpensively and it smells wonderful. I love florals, and this is a very beautiful floral. However, if you don't like florals, I'd say that you wouldn't like this one. I don't expect a perfume with a man's name to smell this lovely. Ha!

Upperclassman only please, freshman orientation is down the hall. Soft and elegant white flowers. Quite similar to Fleurs de Nuit by Badgley Mischka, but Bill Blass is less sharp and more balanced. Wish I’d found BB sooner. She is cool but no ice princess. Very happy with this one.

Great fragrance,floral but no overhelming i totally love it,very well done,fresh-girly-clean-light,a good choice if you want a nice floral fragrance,the lasting power is good on my skin it last like 5 hours,nice price too. :) I get a vintage feeling from this...

The White yakinthine at its first role play! I Love the yakinthine so i Love Bill blass the fragrance too! Very good longevity and very intensive in aggod way perfume! Very very Feminine!

Well this was a bit of a shock. I ordered Bill Blass for Women and was sent The Fragrance by Bill Blass by mistake. (Whoever came up with this weird marketing/naming ploys has probably messed up quite a few birthdays and Christmases for signature scent gals.)Anyhoo, Since it had been opened and applied before I worked out that I wasn't losing my mind I've worn it on and off to see what I think. While I frankly prefer the cleaner brisker BB for Women, this scent has many charms. It's intensely sweetly floral--very much makes me think of tuberose and honeysuckle on a hot Southern night in Natchez or Charleston. Although I can't pick it out I believe the galbanum is just cold enough to stop the scent from being cloying. I would consider this very romantic and quite formal, definitely not a jeans and grocery store kind of perfume. Quite a few people have described this as light so I'm wondering if there's a significant difference between the EDP (mine) and EDT. I'm sure many younger members of Fragrantica would call this old-lady but as the years pass I'm more and more convinced that scents like this require a certain seriousness and self-assurance that only comes with the years. Recommended but no promise that you'll like it. Sillage: substantial, 3-4 ft Duration: excellent Fabulosity: Oh Rhett, Rhett, what will I do? Value to price ratio: very good 6/10

Even though this is classed as a womans fragrance I have worn it for many years. The gorgeous green hyacinth notes are just amazing and last for hours. I always get compliments when I wear this,such a shame it is hard to find in the UK. I often alternate wearing this with "Gentleman" by Marbert which has similar green hyacinth & lily of the valley notes. The body products in this range are excellent,however I couldn't really tell the difference between the body cream & body lotion,they seemed to have the same texture. If you can get hold of the shower gel,grab it,as it leaves the skin soft & moisturized and smelling so clean & frsh.

This is a lovely light fragrance, very fresh and pretty. I get a lot of hyacinth and it's perfect for today's weather: a sunny, fresh spring day, not yet too hot. But. I applied it, along with its body lotion, not 40 minutes ago, and already there is no trace of it. Not even the lotion. So disappointed. At least it is not too heavy to be reapplied throughout the day which is what it will need. Next time I will layer the body cream, body lotion, and scent and see what happens. It's unlikely to be a repeat buy for me though with such poor performance. Edit: layering didn't work and I gave it away. It's just not worth it.

I love this fragrance, white flowers, lily of the valley, but still fresh/green. For a sunny day, typical daytime fragrance. On some days the white flower scent (or is the galbanum, I am not sure) is too overwhelming for me, I have to be in the mood, but on most days I am. I find myself wearing this fragrance quite a lot! It was a blind buy, it is very cheap in the Netherlands at the Kijkshop at the moment.

This is such a gem. My mother gifted it to me and I already went through my bottle. If you like very flowery and fresh scents like the DKNY apples or EL Pleasures this one might be worth a try. The review of sandrina_bambina is spot on "green and intoxicating hyacinth mixed with lily of the valley, rich, intensive, spring floral-green, so adorable, and perfectly feminine!"

This is a slightly green, soapy, light floral. It has that very clean, just out of the shower scent. Hyacinth is the strongest note on me, but it is a soft blend of florals.

Strange, on my skin, as it has the soul of Marc Jacobs, amazing similarity! Bill Blass is somewhat airy and refined,light green and very pleasant fragrance to me.

This perfumes so sweet, good prices and good scent. If you want to buy good prices..this perfumes is good to grab! Lasting in 6 hour in my skin!

Very nice and simple. Sofr shiny hyacinth. Like nice spring weather when sun is shining and light wind brings you smell of the first flowers.

If you want higher confident level in public. This perfume maybe suitable to wear. But not lasting in summer..lasting in winter.

I love this perfume so much, this perfumes smell like curious Britney Spears but this perfumes best than curious.

een vrolijke,lenteachtige geur!!! ik vindt hem lekker!!!Geen goekope geur voor vrouw diet weet wat ze wilt!!!

super floraly and feminine i love this perfume it brings me back a few years. so fresh

Unfortunately, this is another scent that vanishes off my skin too fast. It's like it disappears as I inhale, as if I inhale all the scent and use it all up in one breath. I get a pleasant green floral but then it's gone . . .
