Christian Audigier For Her

I kept seeing the comparisons to Christian Audigier For Her. First of all, I want to get it on the table that Villain is NOT an exact dupe or even a watered-down version of CAFH. At first, I smelled little resemblance between the two. As this one dried, however, I struggled to describe the nature of the relationship between the two. Finally, I figured it out! Think of CAFH and Villain as being like a "Mommy and Me" set of fragrances. CAFH is the "Mommy" fragrance: both the packaging and the scent (to me, a honeyed citrus) evoke an elegant, refined, feminine woman, perhaps in her 30s. Picture a brunette with perfectly coiffed shoulder-brushing curls descending a curved staircase while wearing a deep red off-the-shoulder dress and a pearl necklace that accents her classic red lipstick. Villain is the "Me" youth-friendly fragrance: its bright, sweet tropical fruits evoke visions of the school-age daughter in cheerful yellows and pinks, running eagerly up to her elegant mother and tugging at her skirt, then beaming at her mother's attention. She is the vibrant, innocent, schoolyard-friendly version of her mother, whom she aspires to channel one day.

Oh, Christian Audigier, how you have proved me wrong. I used to make fun of all things Ed Hardy, but this perfume really surprised me. It was love at first spray for me. I've never smelled a perfume quite like this one. Similar to Ed Hardy Villain, Christian Audigier is SEXIER. The mixture of sweetness and spiciness is unique, and I honestly can't stop smelling my wrist when I wear this bad girl. I get the most compliments from MEN when I wear this. I've discovered that some perfumes women notice more, and others the guys seem to love. And every time I wear this one, at least one man will either ask me what I'm wearing, or I'll get an "omigod you smell amazing!" My boyfriend LOVES it, out of all the perfumes I own, this is hands down his favorite. I work at a perfume shoppe, and this was the very first thing I bought. I luckily can get fragrances at a discounted price, and I could have gone with a high end designer for my first buy, but this was my first true love. Sadly I heard that it is being discontinued, so you better believe I'll be stocking up like a crazy perfume hoarder. Crap, maybe I'm obsessed.

I have to admit I didn't like this at first. It seemed really strong-so I bought Love Kills Slowly instead and while I like that fragrance I think I made a big mistake because now I am totally in love Christian Audiger woman. It does start out intense at least it does on my skin and then it turns into a lovely sweet fruity scent. I will be buying a full size bottle soon-Oh and I really love the bottle design. Update I did finally get my big bottle and I am happy that I did. I wore it a couple of days ago-a nice warm spring day and I didn't think it possible but it smells even better with some warmth. the blackberry really came out to play. If you lifke fruity scents and blackberry you will love this. Christian Audiger definitely picked the right one of his scents to put his name on. Nothing but love here!

While I agree that components of this fragrance do smell like Viva La Juicy, the floral notes in the heart of this Christian Audigier fragrance are much softer, and as a result, much more compatible with my chemistry. I normally wear woody- or floral-orientals, and it is difficult for me to find a fruity fragrance that doesn't turn horribly floral on me. The juicy top notes in this fragrance had remarkable staying power on my skin. Hours later, at the very end of the dry-down, I could smell the subtle softness of sandalwood. I must buy this fragrance!

I got this as a 100ml bottle which was on offer and I have only high praises for this perfume. I love it. It's fresh, fruity and sweet with small subtle hints that I can't quite put my nose on. I wouldn't wear this perfume daily as I got too used to it too quickly and didn't smell all them different textures after a while of using it. But it's definitely a perfume for once or twice a week. I'd say it's good for both day and night, but it's a more summery perfume than wintery. The bottle is attractive and pretty, i'd recommend it

Yes this does smell like Viva la Juicy, but I love this one more. It's my favourite ever perfume! So many people comment on it when I wear it and it lasts forever on my skin and I can smell it on my bedclothes and scarf the next day. It is everything I love in a perfume and I never get sick of wearing it. I just have to ration it from now on as I have nearly run out!

This is the best smelling perfume I think I have ever had. It is so yummy and sharply crisp and I love it. The pomegranate, blackberry, and tangerine mingle with each other in a wonderful way. I love walking out on a winter day wearing this, and smelling those notes as they hit the chilly air - so delicious. I have found my signature scent.

This was my signature scent for a few years around 2010.. recently I got my hands on an old bottle of Jessica Simpson signature and all I could think was how it reminded me of this.. welp, same perfumer lol. I really need to get my hands on a sample or bottle of this to compare. Not to mention I miss it terribly lol. Ok that is all.

this scent is your typical girly fragrance but just something about it that is addicting, when i first sprayed it on i was like thats pretty but not really original smells to me alot like amour amour, but yet found myself smelling my wrist the rest of the night then when i got the chance i went back and bought it :) lol

OMGoodness I have fallen in love! Wonderful,wonderful, purely wonderful! Love everything about this amazing fragrance! Beautiful bottle as well. Lasts well over 7 hours for me! The very first time I wore it, I was asked what is that perfume? It smells sooooo beautiful! I think this is going to become my signature scent!

Oh my freaking God, I adore this stuff!!!!! I tried all of the CA line with the exception of the newest "Villian" which I'm dieing to try! It does smell like Viva La Juicy but with an added oomph! that really agrees with me! I'm getting a bottle next Friday!

This is my go to when I want something that's polished, yet flirty. It is a bit heavier than some of the other fragrances I wear, and I tend to wear it in the evenings or during the cooler months.

smells amazing but doesnt have no lasting power at all another one of those perfumes that might as well be a body mist :( alot of perfumes and body mist are over priced and disappointments

This smells like a high-end honeyed orange fragrance - with some startling similarity to Kerosene Unknown Pleasures. It is sweet, but elegant and not synthetic-smelling.

I adore this stuff and on a whim decided to layer it with one of my other favorites (Pink Sugar), it is a great combo! The mix brings out a more warm vanilla dry down.

I honestly think this should be unisex it smells really good yesterday when my cousin's wife and I were in the mall smelling it, and it is just great....

God this smells just awesome...... im so gonna buy this..... it smells like AMOR AMOR

Christian Audigier is a blackberry-peach cobbler baked over a wood fire; a decadent treat tinged with creamy sandalwood and a hint of smoke. Though it's not listed in the notes, I get a heady peach vibe from this fragrance's top notes, which mingles lusciously with the blackberry and tangerine to create a fruity essence that's sweetly gourmand rather than brimming with tart freshness. The black coconut and magnolia round out the fruitiness with a baked-in, creamy note that begs for not a drop of vanilla. Once the woods make their presence known, the headiness has enveloped you fully. Christian Audigier is not only a gorgeous fragrance on its own, but it pairs remarkably well with a variety of scents. Worn over Can Can, the sweetness is intensified beautifully. With Casmir or Warm Vanilla Sugar, it develops a delicious "a la mode" note. A touch of Naomi Campbell helps enhance the coconut, while Voile d'Ambre tempers the fruit greatly and brings out the wood-laden smokiness in its stead. A wildly under-appreciated (and incredibly affordable) fragrance.

Just bought some of this today and too me it is like viva la juicy actually but the dry down is more woody than sweet. I'm picking up a lot of the oranges and citrus but on me..I'm not picking up any of the coconut at all. Its a really nice scent and I like it but it really smells like so many other scents I've smelled before as well. Its similar to play it spicy by Playboy too...I'm kind of tired of different perfume designers copying each others scents but putting them in different bottles. I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and start investing in the more expensive ones in order to get a change lol This one can only be worn on my clothes because of the citrus.I sprayed a bit on my arm to test it out when I got home and immediately had a skin reaction. I love the bottle...I love crimson red ANYTHING and the little crown topper is pretty cool too. Over all,its a nice perfume for a good price.

I loved this scent and had to have it when smelling it in Macy's. The opening notes are so juicy and intoxicating, just lovely. The base and middle smell very rich and creamy. It has a good lasting power and is rather strong. After owning it for a couple of months, something about it started to put me off. It would turn really salty on my skin and began to smell too sweet. Guess it was the combination of the coconut and the fruits. Anyway this is the only Ed Hardy fragrance I have ever liked but it no longer has a place in my small collection. ;'( Sold my used bottle on e-bay.

This is a lovely and soft fruity fragrance! I think is wonderful blended making it more interesting than any other simple fruity fragrance. I think the dry down is also so unique on this. The amber really shines through with some of the sandalwood, along with the fruits from the opening. The dry down reminds me of Love and Sunshine from BBW actually. I find this so beautiful and enchanting. It may be simple, but it’s so so pretty. I really feel like a princess wearing this! Too bad this is discontinued, and selling for hundreds of dollars :(

Feels to me like the top and base notes are switched around on my skin. I get a burst of coconut and florals on the initial spray but it seems to dry down to the tangerine and berries very quickly.. within like 30 seconds. A good hour later, it is still quite juicy but the sandlewood does come through. It is always a sweet fragrance, that could suit younger teens as well as an older audience. Unfortunately on me the sillage is very poor right from the get go and it is very much a skin scent. Fades aways altogether after 5-6 hours.

I AM HOPING THIS FRAGRANCE WILL SMELL BETTER AND HAVE AND INCREASED SILLAGE AND STAYING POWER . NOW IN WINTER IT FADES QUICKLY AND STAYS CLOSE TO THE SKIN. wILL UDPDATE! But as for the fragrance itself: wonder of wonders... I don't find it girly.. to me this is a dark fruity and mysterious scent found in the woods. I can smell the coconut but ever so faintly. Pehaps a cold is impairing my smelling aptitudes lol , shall update! but all in all , i do love it!

Smells a bit like Escada Ibiza Hippie to me (I suppose it is the fruitsplosion so don't get too excited, I haven't sampled many full-on fruity scents) but not as cool and refreshing, I could see how this would get cloying. I have a feeling that it indeed has been done a million times, as stated in many comments below, but it is pleasant enough. For sure not something that I will make room for in my collection, though.

How much I wanted this perfume and how dissapointed I was when finally got it.. Fragrance itself is very nice, fresh and sparkly but .. It doesn't last on my skin even an hour!!! Only putting my nose close to the wrist I can smell something almost shower fresh and nothing from sweet berries... So pretty much I enjoy it about 30 min and then it's compitely gone, how sad.. The first note promised to be so good..

When I first smelled the opening notes I thought "Oh, another one similar to Viva La Juicy." But that quickly changed. This is much smoother, slightly sweeter, and just overall more appealing to me. While I can pick out the blackberry, amber, and wood, overall the notes blend softly. This is high up on my list of favorites, and it lasts for hours. Thanks Jillzilla for sending me a sample! :D

Great scent, very fruity, the pomegranate and berries smelling very yummy when you first put it on. It has no staying power though. After a couple of hours, I can't smell a thing. I got a kit with the full bottle and bonus purse size, which is a good thing because this needs to be reapplied every couple of hours.

At first whiff, this stuff reminds me of Clinique's Happy with coconut and smokiness added.... Sandalwood?But this feels like a much more expensive and sophisticated affair. I get juicy orange and smokey sweetness, coconut and a faint chocolate donut impression. This perfume gets me compliments!

This one is pretty unremarkable to me. Generic fruity scent, smells like Amor Amor mixed with water. Sometimes I think this smells like Juicy Fruit gum. I bought this for the supposed pomegranate note but I don't really detect it, just fruit and sugar.

it's a pleasant sweet and fruity scent that is not overwhelming. unfortunately it doesn't last long on my skin but i like it a lot for summer. i must like it. 2 bottles later and still going strong.

I love the bottle and like the smell.A bit too much sweet vanilla and coconut. I can't find any woodsy note here.Beneath a lot of berries I found something nicely sour .

I get no woodsy, I get no coconut and I definitely get NO amber. What I get is fruit. Lots of fruit. Berries, yes. Tangerine, yes. Pomegranate, yes. I can smell the magnolia and orchid notes but then, that’s it. Inoffensive, sweet, summertime scent best suited to ages 16 – 26. Like so many other candy scents that seem to have become so popular over the past few years. Definitely not for me. Gave it to my daughter. Predictably, she loved it. Silage? Mneh, not so much. Longevity? 3-4 hours? Maybe.

Does not work with my chemistry. Started out with a beautiful and fresh fruitiness, then quickly morphed into a synthetic chemical smell. As the fruitiness subsided the chemical fume got worse and lasted till the next day. It was like spraying fragrance-free hairspray. This happened to me with other Audigier fragrances before. I like the opening but something in the ingredients hates me.

Smells like Bubbleyum Watermelon flavored bubblegum. I love that smell, nostalgic for it even, but I'm not sure if I want to wear anything that smells like it. If anyone grew up chewing it like I did, you can recognize that scent instantly. This is that smell in a bottle. Yummy! But not for me.

this was a blind buy and not a succefull one. there is one top note that sticks out and that's one I don't like. Havn't figured out wich one it is. The scent stay's long with you so that is a good thing about it, and the price is reasonable. I would not reccomand this to a friend.

I feel like this is the kind of fragrance a young woman wears to drive the men in her life especially crazy. I can imagine a man leaning in to give his date a sweet kiss after a pleasant date, then, upon smelling this flirty, ultra-feminine scent, being unable to stop kissing her. The fragrance itself is innocent enough, but like Lolita, it has the capacity to drive men wild. I have only tested it at home so far, so I haven't seen its actual effects on men yet, but I don't think I'll be wrong in my theory (I plan on testing it out this week!). Coconut is there from the beginning in this delicious fruity cocktail of a fragrance. I get yummy citruses like mandarin as well as berries. Sometimes I find berries a bit overbearing (especially raspberry) and even obnoxious, but the berries here are just plain yummy. Pomegranate gives the fragrance a light and sparkly quality, and there is some creaminess, too, probably from the coconut, but I feel like there could be gardenia as well (not listed in the notes). I really like this, and this is coming from someone who doesn't even really like fruity fragrances. The fruits in this aren't as synthetic smelling as most others in the mainstream market (though they are a bit for sure). This perfume really blooms in the heat, while leaving me underwhelmed in colder weather. I think this is a nice youthful fragrance that would be perfect for a first date with someone you really like. I'll be wearing it when I'm especially in the mood to flirt.

I can't help liking this fragrance even though I find it synthetic and way too overpowering. There is something very addictive about Christian Audigier for Her. While I don't find too many similarities to Viva La Juicy, I can certainly agree with the Amor Amor by Cacharel references. Both this fragrance and Amor Amor share that sweet orangey tang which is either a love it or hate it in most cases. Christian Audigier opens with strong, sweetened fruits; tangerine, blackberry and pomegranate. At first this is best smelt from a distance because up close it can be rather headache inducing. Eventually the florals emmerge, balancing out the scent. The coconut is very dominant here, but I disagree that it adds a tropical feel. It serves as a sweetner alongside the florals and the subtle fruity notes. The drydown is unfortunately too basic and predictable for my liking. Subtle remnants of coconut prevent the base notes from becoming too boring, however the sillage at this point decreases dramatically. I find the lasting power to be excellent and sillage beyond words in terms of strength. While I believe that this fragrance will ultimately become a popular buy, the tacky bottle and slight syntheticness of the scent disturbs me somewhat. But then again, that is just my personal opinion.

This smells exactly as I expected, a stereotyped commercial fruity-floral with some harsh woods in the base and slight aquatic and plastic notes to top it all off. I don’t know whether the sample I have is the men’s or women’s version, but it probably doesn’t matter much since I suspect they’re both completely run-of-the-mill scents made from the same industrial vat. It’s not the worst fragrance I’ve ever smelled, but it really has nothing to recommend it other than the fact that it’s not an immediate scrubber. However, given that it is one of those scents designed to bond permanently to the skin and emit linear mega-sillage until the next shower, it will have to be scrubbed sooner or later. Very conventional, not my style.

Decided to try this due to an excellent online purchase and reading the reviews here. I smell the magnolia and the sandlewood and I swear a hint of pepper when I first spray this on. And at that first spray I also get a sharp alcohol wiff that thankfully goes away in seconds. This stays soft on me for hours. I do not get the candy sweet scent that others posting here speak of. Very pleasant and I find myself smelling me so I can enjoy that pleasant scent. So this is a everyday win-win for me. But not my go-to scentwhen I really have a need for something special to wear. And I like the ruby red bottle with its tacky gold crown. Adds to my perfume decor.

This is such a beautiful bottle! I have never seen it anywhere.. Ed Hardy fragrances I have run into on many occasions at discount stores (the packaging on those is pretty cool).. How interesting they are related to this perfume, the presentation of which which gives a totally different vibe! After seeing the image of that bottle in the recent reviews category I instantly googled it - even before looking at the notes.. Looks like it's hard to find considering the inflated prices. Would love to see that bottle in real life. It's the kind of thing I would normally blind buy in a heart beat.

To say that CHRISTIAN AUDIGIER is "not original" is to emit an understatement of gargantuan proportion. The truth is that this sugar-spray fruity floral with a sweet, lightly woody drydown is about as redundant as they come. I'm wondering why this was even produced, as its territory is covered by many, many overlapping fragrances known to my nose. For what it is, it's fine. And for people who stumble upon CHRISTIAN AUDIGIER and have never sniffed the dozen or so perfumes that got there first, well, this might be just what they thought they were looking for!

I really love fruity and sweet fragrances. I find Christian A. Fragrances to be strong at first but once they dry down they smell great and last very long. I get compliments all the time when I wear it. I guess it works with my body chemistry. Which is very important because some frag's that smell great on other people may not on you. But for me this one works. I do agree it reminds me of Viva la Juicy but it is not as sweet. I wear this fragrance alot but I do think its more appropriate for an evening wear or romantic occasion. A great buy

Stick this in a diamante round bottle and it could be any one of Britney's Fantasy fragrances. It's sweet and fruity, but slightly juvenile and cheap. I get a lot of the coconut and fruit out of this and it slightly reminds me of J Lo's excellent Miami Glow. This is a fragrance for a sunkissed babe in cutoff denim shorts and rayban wayfarers - not a 5th avenue It Girl. But hey, if that's your thing then there's nothing wrong with this, it just smells like it's been done a million times before.

perfect for summer! the black berry is predominent on me! The Tangerine and pomegranite add their sweetness! The orchid and magnolia makes it soft and feminine! The coconut add some exotism! The amber and santal wood add some depth in it and sensuality! All those ingredients mixed together create that special scent! Sweet,fruity,sensual! Those who loves: amor amor,viva la juicy,in control,golden goddess will love this one!love it!

As mentioned in previous comments, this is an inoffensive generic sweet fragrance. Projection & longevity is average, a couple of hours at best. Bought 2 bottles for £10 each a few years ago, wear occasionally to run errands. Interestingly, as its discontinued prices on resell website are in the region of £150. Absolutely laughable! Demonstrates how insidious the ‘rare’ & ‘hard to find’ fragrance market has become.

To me this one smelled similar 2 Heat w/ its black coconut and its woody,ambery dry-down... Look at color of the bottles also and note use of gold lettering on the boxes of both... Maybe sum1 was taking pointers from Audigier...Honestly I prefer this one over Heat because it seems more expensive smelling and more well blended...

I'm a sucker for tacky opulent flacons. Audigier got -that-aspect of this fragrance correct...however the scent is utterly underwhelming. Its one dimensional...just a bag of jelly fruit candy on a very warm day. Nice for those into fruity/sweet scents, which just isn't me. It needs a warm spicy kick in the pants.

I could really smell the pomegranate! Love Love Pomegranate :) Very nice! Doesn't last long 3 hours TOPS :( It's nice but I wouldn't buy a FB just because of the lasting power is so weak if they could reformulate it to make it last a couple hours long then I would definatley add it to my collection.

I love the woodiness of this!!! Usually wood puts me off, it smells too masculine to me, but this had a nice soft wood under the sweet berry and cream scent it added to my skin. I get the pomegranate, I get the tangerine and I wish they lasted longer but other than that, no complaints.

i totally agree, this one is identical to juicy couture viva la juicy. the only advantage is that you can buy this one for less money. however, i like them both, but both seem to be a bit too sweet and strong to me, so i am undecided whether i should buy one of them or not...
