Ed Hardy Born Wild For Women

I do not know how the nose managed to do this, but he/she did? Only a person with a keen interest in unusual plant species would pick this up. This fragrance smells exactly. I mean exactly like the 'Queen of The Night'. Queen of the Night is a tropical rain forest epiphyte, which I have incidentally been documenting over the past 15 years. It's not an easy plant to get to flower as it is fussy with it's preference for position and microclimate. Queen of the night puts out impressive blooms which flower only at night and once only, but at times there may be dozens of flowers on this moon motivated species, which for those of you not familiar with this plant. Looks a lot like those Egyptian Fluer Di Lis that one sees Pharoahs holding from thousands of years ago. It is silk like and iridescent capturing many hues although it is a white flower. The blooms themselves are huge well over 20 centimetres or so in diametre. I foot in the old imperial measurement. The fronds grow quite large and resemble a giant Zygo cacti. Or zygonium in techincal terms. Anyway the only way to describe this scent is it's flavournoid. Slightly akin to an over ripe banana. Yet ever so subtle, one wonders why the plant can reproduce at all? This is just a vague description. The unusual thing about 'Born Wild' as it reminds me of QOTN, and the fragrance seems to follow one and floats around one rather than on the skin itself. It can appear rather intoxicating, just like 'Queen of The Night'. I am not familiar with the other fragrances that similar so I really cant vote. My only disappointment is the longevity of 'Born Wild'. I wish it lasted longer on my skin. The fragrance in my opinion can be worn at any time of the day or night. Best suited to warmer months. I like the betty boopish design, yet find the over bottle design, not the art work, just the bottle a little awkward to handle. Cheers T.

Ed Hardy Born Wild falls into that guilty pleasure category in my fragrance wardrobe. The bottle is pink with a sense of humor, which is exactly how I would describe the fragrance. I do have to give the Ed Hardy label credit, their bottles are sturdy and interesting looking. Born Wild is an accumulation of blackberries, sweets and musk with a hint of sour/tart. There is a hint of floral notes, but the blackberries are center stage. Whenever I wear it, it feels like I am a little kid chewing bubble gum. It smells artificial, but in a pleasant way. This is one fragrance that I get consistent compliments on. I think that is because it is so accessible as a scent. Born Wild has a little bit longer than average lasting power with an average silage. I can usually smell it faintly around the 5-6 hour mark. I think it is a fun, cheerful scent that is a mood lifter. Born Wild is probably a safe bet if you enjoy simple fruity-florals with an artificial edge.

I was on the train the other morning and noticed that my pits where giving out something vile and malodorous. I had forgotten to spritz my stress alert deodorant on before leaving my abode. I only had a 10 mill flacon of this in my handbag. There was a rather plain troll, plain because she had to put the fragrance down as soon as sprayed a little on my underarms before alighting for the day. Just because she wanted her partner to think I was ugly. Sadly I'm sick of women doing this to me because I was given good looks from my genetic predisposition to have. There's nothing wrong with being pretty, there's everything wrong with other women who demean the good looking one's publicly and loudly. We are not deaf. As my father would say to all you bloody trolls out there. 'Go Root Your Boot'. Cheers T.

This perfume is so good and fruity that it almost smells edible! According to the notes it is blackberries that are that yummy top note, but to me it smells like candied cranberries, but either way it smells delightful. The berry scent remains throughout as you start to pick up on the magnolia, peach blossom, and lily of the valley, and then the drydown consists of predominately sandlewood with just a hint of musk. This is a rich fruity floral scent with slight woody undertones. Usually fruity florals are best in spring and summer, but I think this is an exception to the rule, as the candied cranberry scent puts me in mind of the fall/winter/holiday spicy sweet aromas.

This scent is so fruity & light, with a slight tropical vibe. I feel that this scent is perfect for Spring & Summer. It has only a tiny bit of sweetness, but is more of a fruity cocktail tamed down with light, airy flowers & light musk. I think this would be a great scent for a teen that is transitioning from body sprays to perfumes, or a woman who wants a break from strong scents. :)

Love, love, love! It has similarities to Sentiment by Escada except that it lacks the powdery notes that makes Sentiment what it is. The dry down is darn near identical to Sexy Graffiti by Escada. The blackberry is prominent and the musk provides balance to keep this smelling expensive and not like a candy sweet child's fragrance.

I love this and I don't care if I'm too "old" for it. It smells delicious and it's a nice change from all the patchouli/incense/heavy/complex perfumes that are so popular right now. I appreciate a good designer perfume, byt I also like things that just smell good. I bought a large bottle on ebay and I'm not sorry I did.

Not every perfume is going to smell amazing on every person. This perfume, however, smells dynamite on me!! When I put it on, I don't get the blackberry top notes, I go straight to the peaches & magnolia, and end with this sexy, warm, combination that makes me think of being outside on a steamy southern night.

This is so adorable.....I'd feel as if I was mean to a puppy if I were to condemn this. I'm far too old for it but it fits my personality....childish! With hugs and kisses, I get "Oh you smell GOOD!" and never once have I gotten a reply..."You smell too young!"

I found this perfume at the Bay and simply adore the scents of edible dewberry and cassis buds blend with magnolia and peach blossems ending with musk/sandelwood base.Its really yummy smelling and I wear it casually during the day when im at school!

I just bought this off of amazon, and as soon as it came in the mail I just had to smell it. I loved it, just as I've always loved Ed Hardy perfume since I first received a bottle of it for a present on Christmas. It's fruity, girly, yet floral

I got a sample of this at Belk dept. store one day. i had never even heard of Ed Hardy. I tried the sample and LOVED it!!! A few months later I bought a bottle. I wore this every day in the spring and summer... Perfect summer fragrance!

As I was walking out of Carson Pirie Scott yesterday I couldn't resist the scent of the new Ed Hardy Born Wild. I just had to have it! I turned and looked at my hubby, he handed me his American Express credit card :) Gotta love him!

I love it and always have people ask what I'm wearing. I had a guy stop me yesterday and tell me that I smelled amazing. LOL! It's really a great smelling perfume and it's one of my favorites.

I love this perfume, and my boyfriend loves it even more. I had a sample of it in a gift set last Christmas but I used it all. Maybe I'll get a big one for Valentine's Day ;D

Ed Hardy born wild is one of my favorites next to villian and hearts and daggers. I love the sweet notes in this one. The bottle is awesome as well.

To me, this was a cavity waiting to happen. I like sweet scents okay, and fruits and florals together can be quite beautiful...but this-no way! What Calice Becker was trying to depict with this scent (warm sunsets, long walks on the beach, tasty cocktails) sound like the "likes" section of a Playboy Playmate profile! And I could see a buxom, bleached blond with that vapid sparkle in her eye wearing this. I mean to say this smells like bubble gum, for real...after spraying it on a paper test strip, and smelling deeply; I pushed it back across the counter and said throw this away! Those of you who "know me" as a regular reviewer on here, know that I give every fragrance I review the benefit of the doubt...so on my way back through the store to my car after shopping some more, I asked for the strip again. Yep! Still too sweet, too high school and way to feminine and synthetic pour moi! Sweet, sticky fruits, overpowering flowers and some woodiness surrounded in a cloud of very femme musk...not my cup of tea, or anyone else's I'd guess. This is more like kool-aid with twice the usual amount of sugar! Not really gourmand, just startlingly sweet with some hints of some edible sweetness...where are those tasty cocktails? I need to get this tatse out of my mouth...? Sillage: yeah, its got it... Longevity: ??? (had to get it away) Overall: 1.5/5 I am fascinated and curious at how someone like Christian Audigier (Ed Hardy et. al.)could make a stunner like Born Wild for men, and then turn around and release this for the women (especially after the CA for her in the red bottle-a masterful conmposition to say the least). I guess they think all the "wild" guys go for the hotties with no depth and just want their "girls" sweet and tasty...what does that say about how the Industry perceives us?

I got this as a gift for my co worker who told me she loves "teenage" scents (we're in our early 30's) after smelling my recent Tickled Pink purchase. I did a little digging and found that the Ed Hardy Scents had a lot in common with it so I suggested she try one of those since they are easier to come by. While I was out at Marshall's I spotted a 1.7oz bottle @$12 so picked it up for her. Once I got home I read that it smelled very similar to the Tickled Pink so I tried a side by side comparison on my arm. VERY similar indeed! Its uncanny actually. This however, is fruitier and stronger. When I woke up in the morning I smelled both test spots and Born Wild was still noticeable while TP had long since disappeared. I can SMELL that my co-worker has worn it daily since I gifted her. I am happy she likes it! I asked if she sprays a lot because the scent is so noticeable all day (but not annoyingly so) and she says she doesn't use much just few spays on her neck and chest.. So on her the sillage and longevity is great! If your taste lean toward the straight up fruity and "teenage", I would recommend this. It is not tropical at all nor is it syrupy sweet or sour...it just is. IMO its nothing special. Depending on the person it could be "loud" so you definitely have to like fruit in your scents to wear this. Not my taste even as a gift but on her it works.

Got this for a bargain £5 in Sports Direct when I went to get new trainers , last place I'd expect to see perfume but they have a small selection, all v affordable. No tester so a blind buy. The first 10mins are extremely synthetic sickly and unpleasant and cheap smelling I'm sorry to say. However, after those 10mins in dries down to a very fun fruit salad summer scent. Just gotta get past the initial cheap blast . So many cheap frags have this issue. .. it is ok after the 10 min mark though. A good cheapie for the price. I ain't complaining for £5. Edit - It's now Aug 2024. I wrote this review in 2020. Out of interest I was looking at reviews/prices of Ed Hardy stuff, the clothes are back in fashion now with the Y2K trend (I've not stopped wearing my mint green bling cap by them since 2005 lol 😂 ) and I would of considered buying this , or other frags by them again IF the price is right. Good God there's 2 bottles on UK eBay right now . One is over £100!!... The other is £50. Still £45 too much lol... And £100??? Come on!!!!... Just goes to show the insane prices some sellers think they can charge for discontinued stuff. . . This is no VW Boudoir or vintage treasure. ... It's a cheap N basic smell. Ok for a £5r but £100. . Im scandalised!! Had to update and rage post.

well, I really like the other Ed Hardy scents,especially the original.I had been stalking this one,always waiting for a good price.Received it as a mother's day gift,and was so excited! From the notes,it should've been just my thing,blackberry,cassis and magnolia are a few of my favorite notes in fragrances.And it is nice,sweet,fruity,and not overly flowery. but it is a bit,generic.Smells much the same as other fruity/florals,nothing in it for me to say,oohh wow I really love this.Nothing to differentiate it,to make it stand out from the crowd.It's nice,with average sillage,and longevity,again nothing to make me want to reach for it more than the others.Safe,non-offensive,appropriate for anyone looking for a sweet,fruity scent,that isn't too harsh and cloying,but still detectable.It's just a bit too meh for me.Will finish up the bottle,as it was a gift.

I wanted to try this scent, but I didn't have any confidence that I'd like it, so I bought a bottle of Ed Hardy Born Wild Body Wash. I'm glad I didn't get the EDT; this is a girly, fruity, powerfully sticky sweet synthetic syrupy berry & peach blossom smell, & I am not a fan of wearing berry scents. I didn't really like Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift, & I don't love Born Wild, either. But if you like sweet, sticky, syrupy synthetic berries, this might be the fragrance for you. I can see why people like it, it's just not for me. The body wash is powerfully scented, but it also smells kinda plasticky. It doesn't bother me too much, & I assume it's not an issue with the EDT. I actually like this as a body wash scent; I can smell it briefly in the shower, but no one can smell it on me afterward, including me.

Well, Im no spring chicken but I like this. Yes, intitially you are hit big time with peach blossom, bubble gum and some blackberry. Sweet is the word. Thankfully when the alcohol has gone its more blossom than fruit. Yes, its girly but I like to wear it in the springtime when the fruit tree blossom is out. The cassia does a good job of giving a bit of edge to the scent that stops it turning into a childs fragrance. The lily of the valley also lifts the scent away from the bubble gum. Im pleased that the musk doesnt make its presence very obvious on me. I rate this highly as a pleasant fruit tree blossom scent to wear in cool conditions and only by day. Moderate sillage and longevity.

The first time I smelled this perfume it was the lotion, and I was surprised as to how powerful the scent was just for being a lotion. It was almost like I poured a whole bottle of the perfume on myself. I fell in love with the strength of the scent and just loved the smell so I bought a bottle. It is a clean, fruity scent, deffinetly a perfume to buy if you don't know what to get and want to make sure it smells nice on you. But its not a typical clean fruity fragrance, it is addicting, youthful and deffinetly summery. If you live in a hot or humid area this is a perfume that will do nicely on you and not have that suffocating affect because it is invigorating.

I tried so hard not to like it telling myself that the bottle is too childish,but I couldn't resist.after smelling a bunch of perfumes in the shop,I realized this one was the best one I smelt. actually judging by the bottle,I thought it would be a good gift for my 10 year old niece,but after trying it,I realizes it's a good perfume for me too! I think I smell pure strawberry,(ok,let's say blackberry).it's very fruity and mouthwatering with delicate flowers at the heart.I like the idea of pirate girl in description of the perfume and of course I like the nose behind it. for it's price,it's a very good perfume that no body would regret buying it.

It smells like strawberry bubble gum. And what exactly is wrong with that? Hell, I like strawberry bubble gum! It's not groundbreaking but it smells good. And honestly, for people who don't know about perfumery (like most men), this probably smells better than the pricey stuff. I have quite a few spendy perfumes in my collection and I know that perfumery can be a form of art. But sometimes, you just want to wear a tshirt and jeans and smell like bubble gum while you clean your apartment. And this is so cheap you don't have to worry about "wasting" it. I bought 3.4oz of this from TJ Maxx for about $15 and I have no regrets.

This is a light, fruity, floral scent. I can detect blackberry, soft peach and floral notes. It's nice at first, but fades quickly. This is definitely nicer than other Ed Hardy fragrances and is more mature. Born Wild is refreshing while other Ed Hardy scents are overly sweet in a synthetic way. Born Wild is an uplifting, pretty scent. UPDATE: Born Wild is great, paired with Bath and Body Works' Amber Blush Body Cream. The cream enhances the blackberry notes in the fragrance! It makes for a yummy combination!

I find it to smell like a headier and more rasperry-ladden fruit-pie-like Heiress... Reminds me of fieldberry jam , grape bubble-gum and purple vinyl. Go figure but I do love it! I wear it when feeling playful in summer (nice that it is uber fruity yet not overly sweet in a cloying way). Also nice as a nite scent (fruit do calm me!) . It might not have the longest staying power on me but it delights my senses enuf to enjoy it as the sweet gift it was! xxxx

reminds me of watermelon candy, very sweet and fruity like a watermelon flavored Jolly Rancher! perfect for the spring and summer and the lasting power is ok, about 4 hours which is good since I have no problem switching scents through the day, so many fragrances, so little time. if your up for smelling sweet and casual, I'd get this, it would look cool on anyone's vanity dresser

My husband really likes this so I tried it. It's nice, sweet and fruity but not overwhelming. It's a nice frangrance, but it doesn't last that long on me so I have to give it an extra spray. It won't be my signature fragrance as it smells pretty common to me, but I'll get some use out of it. It will be good to wear to work as it is light and fresh.

The opening notes smell like sickening air freshener (I almost given up on it) but it dried down to a very lovely flowery and strawberry bubblegum scent. So to wear this, I have to spray it and wait about 10-15 minutes for the lovely smell to come out. I enjoy this perfume but it is not my favourite

Beautiful scent but too light for my taste and lacks "personality". I was looking to buy it after I purchased the amazing Hearts& Daggers Love Kills Slowly but sadly this one isn't as long lasting and perfectly designed. Zero lasting power and intensity.

It may have been Born Wild, but any wildness has been tamed out of this girly fruity sweet perfume. It's nothing groundbreaking or complicated...it just smells good and is easy to wear. And some days that's all I'm looking for in a scent.

I have this perfume and I love it. In the beginning it smells like fruits. Then at the end it smells like soap, a good kind of soap. But that's probably just because of the fruits mixing in. But other than that it smells pretty good.

I would say this is a very fresh beautiful scent. If you know of someone who loves Rue21 scents, even loves celebrity fruity scents, then this is a great choice as a gift. Good for ages 14-25, the more I wear it, the more I love it.

Wouldn't say I'll wear this to go out to a Very special Occasion... maybe to wear if I'm going by a friends house? I loved it at first but then it's like an okay perfume now.

Fresh shampoo-like hyper-feminine fragrance. Dark berry, aquatic aromatic floral and breezy woods. Great for hot weather, clean and flirty.

Sexy, tart and sweet, like a drunk raspberry.

Smells like Paris Hilton's first perfume

Okay, I really do not understand why this perfume is called BORN WILD?? From the image of Ed Hardy AND the name of the perfume--born wild..i expected something a bit edgier...a scent that a rocker chick would wear. BUT this scent is more like bubble-gum barbie type of girl. Its very fruity and sweet...and not surprisingly--its very generic. I'm not saying that it smells bad, its quite pleasant actually, its the type of scent that many people would find un-offensive and its likable (again its very generic). So yeah, I have more of a problem with the misnomer more than the "just-another-fruity-sweet" scent of this perfume. I mean if Ed Hardy was intending to create a fruity-tropical scent..why not just simply name it Tropical Paradise or something like that. The motto of this perfume is “Let this daring fragrance take you on an adventure as impossible to resist as the woman wearing it."---There's absolutely nothing daring about this fragrance!

I bought this on a blind buy the other day, and I have to say I'm not super impressed! The main note in this fragrance is an overwhelming berry. I personally dont really like fruity scents, so take my opinion with a grain of salt if you do! After the inital blast of fruit and berries, it starts to show some floral undertones, which, unfortunatly, make it smell like a fruit-scented shampoo. All in all, it's a polite, nonoffensive fruity floral scent (that dies down REALLY fast to a musky floral). I'm not a fan of it personally, but who knows! It could be exactly right for someone (maybe).

This is my least favorite ed hardy fragrance so far! It just smells so generic. And this actually does smell like the tattooed by inky perfume dupe. I'm not impressed with this at all. EDIT 9/3/2012: I think I'm allegric to this scent. When I put this on the last time (when I did the previous review), my throat started aching like I was having a cold or something. And it only happens when I wear this scent and the tattoo by inky perfume dupe. Hmm weird... Obviously I will not purchase this at all and I think I might even throw away my sample.

Nothing "wild" about this fragrance. It's nice and sweet, fresh smelling for hot weather. On me it was nice at the beginning then turned to a soapy bitter mess an hour later, which is quite common for me with most florals, so don't let this discourage you from trying if you are looking for something sweet and fresh. If you are going for a unique and edgy fragrance, however, this is not it.

This reminds me a little bit of DKNY Candy Apples Juciy Berry. There are a few differences though. This perfume is interesting, and something I wouldn't usually wear. Ed Hardy is one of my favorite makers of perfume. To me it smells like grape soda, which I really don't like. The smell isn't horriable, it's just not my cup of tea. Overall I give this perfume a 6/10.

I tried this in a shop the other day along with Hearts & Daggers. I can't remember which was which but one smelled like bubble gum and the other was sickly sweet like dewberry. Neither for me. I love the tattoo design style of Ed Hardy stuff and for some reason thought that the scents would be more exciting.

Extremely young, smells like my first fragrance (as alittle girl) I received a play perfume and bubble bath set. I would never suggest this fragrance to anyone over 16. However.'it would work well for a very young niece or daughter's first fragrance.

i tried this one today .i dislike it very much,i do not get ANY fruit at all!just an artificial citrus followed by a choking floral blend finishing in a cheap musk scent.i dislike very much and will never wear this again.

For me this is a rather boring and very drugstorelike scent. Fresh floral like so many others.

Bought this as a blind buy on clearance and ew. Nope. Smelled cheap (which it was..)

I have a little collectors box of these Ed Hardy perfumes and have been trying them. This one is extremely strong on first spray and it is strong on the blackberry which on me smells like cranberry and has the same overpowering effect that Daisy Oh So Fresh has for me. It is just so strong and so sweet. I had the same issues with Yves Saint Lauren Parisienne edp just too much. As this settles it smells like bubble gum and strawberry for some unknown reason. I think it is nice but not as nice as his other ones and inevitably I was going to like some more than others so I have to say this one is a little too much for me it doesn't have the smoothness or creaminess that his other ones have. To be honest it got on my nerves as it clung to my skin all day and seemed to get stronger and stronger as I moved around. If I liked the smell it would be worth the price to me because it lasts so long on my skin but it is just too sweet for me and I am not sure why as I like sweet perfumes when I am in the mood but this no not really. I may have sprayed too hard so I will try a little spray on one spot on the back of my neck so it is not so under my nose and see how I go. Nice perfume though for those that do like this sort of smell. It is very fresh and sweet and a real blast of blackberry on first spray very uplifting but you have to put up with it for seemingly hours as it doesn't change a lot. I am attracted to this brand as I like the way they blend the fruits with a smoothness and this one just doesn't do that for me.

As predictable as this fragrance may be, I can't help liking it. Born Wild for Women is your typical, run-of-the-mill fruity floral, with tons of sugar and a hint of shampoo. I first tested this fragrance whilst out shopping for some cosmetics in a local pharmacy. The pink, rectangular bottle, with its tattoo design caught my eye, so I reached over to the tester and sprayed some on my arm. I was nonchalant at first, not overly thrilled by what I was smelling, so I continued focusing on other things. However the more this fragrance settled, the more interesting it became. Born Wild for Women is a really pleasant fragrance. The blackberry and cassia are only very mild on my skin, not nearly as juicy as I feared they would be. The sweetness doesn't bother me whatsoever, although I must admit that Born Wild for Women does smell a little juvenile. For an inexpensive fruity floral, Born Wild for Women is relatively well done. I also enjoyed Ed Hardy for Women, another fruity floral from this brand. This fragrance would make a safe gift for any young woman. It's not an imposing or irritating scent at all. The longevity was so-so, and the sillage average. I didn't expect much but I ended up liking Born Wild for Women more than I thought I would. I will probably revisit this fragrance again once the weather warms up.
