StormFlower

I own all different branded perfumes, ranging from £10 to £90 and I have to say this is one of my fave perfumes. I just don’t understand some of the bad reviews on here. To me this is nothing like the usual sweet generic celebrity scents. This is a beautiful peachy floral smell with a lovely warm creamy base to it. Every time I wear this fragrance it draws compliments from people, I think they are very surprised when I tell them what it actually is. If this was packaged in a designer brand bottle it would most certainly be a top seller! The bottle design is just gorgeous and very classy looking for the price. I am sorry, but I can’t stand perfume snobs who won’t even entertain celebrity scents. Don’t get me wrong some of them are dreadful but I know loads of high end perfumes that are also dreadful. I am so open minded when it comes to trying perfumes. At the end of the day it’s not about the price tag, brand or bottle, it’s about the quality of the juice inside!

Lovely, fruity floral, happy scent. When I tried it for the first time, I was shocked how intense nectarine note is (I was expecting it less intense for some reason), but I can say now that I like it a lot. I need to have scent like this in my collection, when I am not in mood for something complicated, and this one is very lovely and brings me good mood. Lasting power is about 6 hours on my skin. And what a beautiful bottle! :)

I've realised that my thoughts about this perfume were swayed by my thoughts about Cheryl's past. I revisited this fragrance and can now see that, although this smells exactly like Paris Hilton's Heiress, it is of better quality - it projects better and is very long lasting.

Wow! Cannot belive the bad reviews, but people have diffrent tastes.You guys say it smells like bubblegum but to me it smells like a peachy floral scent. It is pretty refreshing, and is a good day or night scent. I cnat really smell any other notes though.

I wanted this fragrance since it was announced and on the day it came out I snapped it up and I've got to say it was the best decision ever this is a beautiful perfume and will always continue to get it

Pretty bottle & name.Smells gorgeous,long and lingering.Immensely similar to Roberto Cavalli Eau De Parfum fragrance,prefer stormflower as it's not extremely musky.A pleasure to wear,captivating☆♥

Some of the reviews of this scent are awfully harsh/slightly amusing. I think unfortunately a lot of the criticism stems from the name on the bottle, If this was packaged in a Marc Jacobs bottle as a Daisy flanker everyone would be falling over themselves with praise for the juice inside. (the original Daisy BTW is quite possibly one the worst toilet cleaner perfumes on the market currently) Now, don’t get me wrong this perfume won’t be winning awards for originality or...well anything actually but don’t discredit it so fast. It’s a very subtle sweet peach scent, almost cocktail like in its crisp fruitiness, which then dries down to a very warm and comforting vanilla & I’m a sucker for vanilla. There’s not a whole lot of layers or complex perfumery going on here but if you enjoy your occasional B&BW or VS scents then there’s no reason why this shouldn’t be on your ‘to try’ list, just don’t pay high street prices for it, keep an eye out on discount sites. Also a heads up, this has just been launched in a body mist for £8 in Superdrug, perfect for the warmer weather.

As almost all the reviewers have already pointed out it is the long notes of mandarin and peach that stand out the most in StormFlower, and the fizzy zing to them is very similar to the mandarin and peach in Paris Hilton's Heiress. In fact for a perfume whose name and official press release emphasizes the floral notes I struggle to separate any from the strong fruit notes. I get the listed freesia, but can't pick anything else from the laundry detergent undertone that develops alongside the floral notes. The whole musk/sandalwood/vanilla base combination is very generic, so after a few hours StormFlower could be mistaken for almost any other fruity/floral fragrance in the same price range - I'm thinking 'fresh' ones like Kylie Minogue Music Box, or Kim Kardashian Glam... I wanted to try StormFlower as Cheryl has mentioned in many interviews over the past several years her love of perfume, and how important her scent memory is to her. I assumed these things would mean that she would put a bit of effort into finding a perfume house who would work to create something adult and a bit more original then what is considered the norm in the world of celebrity scents to sign up with. This isn't awful, but it is nothing even slightly different from the thousands of other mass-market fragrance releases on the market, so it is boring. I don't usually like giving ages to perfumes, but StormFlower is particually sweetly cloying and tweeny smelling - in short it seems like it was only made to appeal to her young fan base (and their wallets).

This is a strong blast of fizzy citrus, a bit like sherbert lemons on steroids. It then smells like you've just washed your hair and you're smelling the shampoo whilst walking down the aisle for laundry detergent. It eventually dries down into a more creamy vanilla scent but unfortunately it's so strong that it's like you've eaten one too many starburst sweets and you feel sick. I've only got the rollerball and it's too strong for me so I can't imagine what a spray or two out of the bottle is like. I try and judge the fragrance by itself and not bring the "celebrity" into my decision making but on this occasion I do feel like this was a quick money grab for Cheryl and it wasn't created because she loves perfume, it seems very thrown together with no real thought put into it or a direction she wanted to go with it. Sorry it's just not for me.

I spotted the 30ml for £24.99 in Superdrug and couldn't resist having a smell. I am not a fan of Cheryl in any way, shape, or form (very much the opposite, but don't get me started!) But, I am a perfume lover so will never judge a perfume by it's name or which celebrity endorses it. Opening spray is a fizzy, gentle peach flavour. The absolute dupe of Paris Hilton's Heiress. I let it sit for a while and it smelt very, very sweet. Then I noticed that it smells like the orange star-burst you get, which is fine for a younger market. Sorry, Cheryl, I won't be lining your pockets. This one is pleasant enough, but I can't imagine anyone being 'wowed' by it.

I was super excited to try this, I read upon the notes and it sounded really good. A few weeks ago I was in Superdrug and saw I tester, I ran over to it and gave myself a spritz. My instant thought was I already have a perfume that smells JUST like this, if not identical, then it hit me, it's Heiress by Paris Hilton. They both smell fruity and almost like bubble gum or sweets. I had to pass on buying this because I was not going to spend £30 on a fragrance that smells just like one I already have. Overall, I'm disapointed and was expecting something better. Sorry Cheryl, it's a no from me.

This really isn't that bad, yes, its nothing special, but I can not even describe the smell when you first spray it, the fruits are just soooo juicy! Like this is the juciest fragrance I have smelt, and that is serious, it is very nice and the vanilla is lovely! I wouldn't personally own a bottle but I do not think it's as bad as people are saying. And no it does not smell like Heiress by Paris Hilton. this one doesn't smell tacky or cheap to me, I think it's worth a sniff!

Not my sort of perfume. Went too powdery too quickly, fairly weak and I just feel I have put a scented talcum powder on my wrist. I prefer my olfactory system to be challenged and this is far too safe and boring. Like Sherlock Holmes would feel looking for a lost pet, so I feel wearing this! It is a good job that I only had a sample size of this edp before getting caught up by the fabulous name!

I was quite looking forward to testing this perfume when I first heard about it, but when the time finally came I was more than disappointed, and I have to agree with most of the other reviews on here. It smells very soapy and not a nice soapy either. The sort of cheap soap you would get in a public toilet. It smells very synthetic and gave me a headache after a while. Nice bottle though!

Cheryl told everyone a few years back that she loves Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb, after hearing that I was definitely expecting a sweet/girly gourmand type of scent. What a let down! I really thought her signature scent would be a bit more sophisticated than this joke of a perfume. The reviews are bang on, it smells like fabric softener/shampoo/febreeze... Uber generic to the maximum folks.

Storm Flower is a fruity & sweet perfume that smells extremely similar to Paris Hilton Heiress. I was hoping Cheryl would release a fragrance on the more sophisticated side but clearly she has made this simply for the loot. No originality. Fruity, bubblegum perfume that resembles air freshener & would appeal to a young teenage girl. Mediocre.

I cam to write a review on how this smells exactly like a shampoo I used when I was little! Bu I am just clicking "like" on the many that have already said that. I also think it is not a good scent for a perfume. I would never spray this on me.

Heavy, cheap smelling bubblegum with a hint of Persil washing powder about it. Such a shame because I really did expect something more grown up from her but I guess this is the sort of this she likes to wear herself. One for the bargain bin!

At first glance I thought they could have worked harder on the packaging. I then picked it up (out of curiosity) and I wasn't surprised that it smelt of furniture polish. Bloody awful. 'Well done Cheryl' *claps hands very slowly

It starts out like peach schnapps, which is ok, a bit childish but then it dries down to a horrid fishy/white musk mess :( its generic, insipid and reminds me a lot of J'adore. The only thing I like is the bottle and the name
