Ed Hardy Skulls & Roses for Her

I got a bottle of this I like the Ed Hardy perfumes for precisely the fact that I think he does fruity perfumes well. They can be worn by any age as they melt into your skin and blend with your chemistry rather than assult you like some fruity perfumes do and they don't vanish into thin air. The evidence is there because all age groups buy and enjoy his perfumes and they are able to ignore the whole tattoo, skull thing. The bottle is quite sturdy but I don't think the fake flower was executed very well it literally looks like a dollar shop rose shoved into it's mouth they should have used velvet or used moulded plastic and painted it but that gripe aside I like it. The perfume is along the same lines as his previous ones but I think it is very strong so only a little spray is needed I put far to much on the first time and it was a little overwhelming the spay comes out quite strong not in a mist so be careful. If you like the caramel and fruit themed perfumes forget the packaging and give this a try as it is nicely done it is similar to Niki Minaj Pink Friday but I think this one dries down nicer and it dries differently to hers it has the Ed Hardy dry down. I feel this guy can't win if he bottles his perfumes in cute butterfly bottles then everyone would be raving how lovely the perfume is but that is not what this label is about so it baffles me why people feel the need to straight away bang on about the skull bottle or the tattoos on the other bottles that is what this brand is people when will you get that. No one complains about Mariah Carey's butterflys because they know that is what she likes and often has on designs for her perfumes it is almost expected now to see a butterfly on her bottles. Just because you have a skull sitting in your wardrobe doesn't mean you will morph into a biker chick over night or it will chew out your eyes while you are sleeping. The people who follow Ed Hardy's style are nice girls too they don't all smell like road kill and start bar fights! They are feminine and like fruity sweet girly perfumes too. So they like tattoos and leather so what? The way people carry on about this brand you would think each bottle contains a potion from the devil and you will need to sleep with your bible just in case you are possessed and forced to get a tattoo. It's just a style people the people who wear these clothes and have that lifestyle sometimes can't stand Mariah Carey and wouldn't be caught dead listening to her music but they still try the perfume because so what if there is a butterfly on the bottle or the lid? Or people complain this just smells like Coach Poppy. Well it is a trend in perfume at the moment Coach Poppy doesn't decide who can design fruity caramel perfumes. Ed Hardy is a business they are just staying current and relevant what is wrong with that. I would be very concerned if one day he starts having bottles that look like butterflys but he has designed a bottle with a skull so he has stuck to the original style that the label is all about and made a juice that coincides with todays trend in perfume what is wrong with that? Some of the people who follow the cutesy Mariah Carey or Coach are nastier pieces of work than the ones who have tattoos and wear leather. If you buy bottles to collect I can understand if you don't like them then that's fine but there are a swag of people who are missing out on a good perfume just because they are scarred of a pretend skull made from plastic or there is a tattoo on a bottle it is not going to get on your skin you are not going to wake up one morning with a Harley Davidson parked in your bedroom. Really? I am surprised I didn't realise people reacted like this to this brand until I looked on this site it is hilarious some people are scarred of their own shadow. If you like Paris Hilton's Passport perfume you may like this to me this one and the Paris one are both sweet, caramel smells. Try the perfume it is like something Marc Jacobs would come out with it is nice it lasts it is inoffensive and it is affordable put the bottle in the draw or decant it and give it a chance if you don't like the smell fine but at least give it a chance:)

I sniffed this about two weeks ago right from the bottle and thought it was beautiful!!! Just broke down and purchased this because it was on sale for 20$ and got to spray it on my skin and I have to say this very well could be my new signature scent, I am IN LOVE !! it smells just like coach poppy with out the price tag! In my eyes is a tremendous plus!!! The bottle takes up a little more room than I'd like having 29 perfumes in my collection and running out of room I'm not sure how to make the bottle squeeze into place with the rest without being over looked lol but never the less I think many people would enjoy this scent its not loud or insulting what so ever, has the right amount of sweetness accompanied by florals and isn't to sweet to the nose it has a deep rich undertone assuming its the caramel but it doesn't drag down the sweetness of it. Like a sweet floral with a steady heartbeat I suppose. I just love this I don't think I could ever get enough! It works magnificently withmy chemistry. I hate to see so many people shunning this scent only because of the label or bottle such a shame!!! But it leaves it wide open to go on a good sale to people who dont judge a book by a cover like me :)

So, first of all I would like to say that I love skulls, I have many of them tattooed on me-I even have the "hear no evil see no evil speak no evil"....as a tattoo but rather than monkeys I have skulls! While I understand they may not be everyone's cup of tea, I LOVE them. I find it very nasty of people to judge anyone for what they like, many people on this review seem so full of hate because of the bottle...any who, just wanted to throw that it there. It was my love of skulls that drew me to this. Not expecting to like it st all,because I really don't like any of the Ed hardy fragrances....but I loved this. I'm not sure if it was because I love the bottle so much but I really love this scent. I don't find this sweet, I find it like a soft spicy scent, almost unisex! Because my husband and I both love skulls and actually have matching tattoos of a rose that has a skull face coming out of the rose, that we got shortly before our wedding...it reminds me of my husband :) he works away from home, gone for three weeks and home for one week....so often at night I spray this on a scarf and it reminds me of him

I've been looking for a strawberry scent; in fact I've been craving it lately. I tried Hanae Mori and although I don't dislike it by any means, the strawberry was not the star on my skin. I got a lot more of the sandalwood and almond, which was pleasant but not what I expected. I was really looking for a gourmand strawberries and cream scent. Well, my search is over because that is exactly what this perfume is - creamy caramel covered strawberries. The strawberry and caramel are the only two notes I can detect but they blend so beautifully. The sillage is about average and so is the longevity but I got it in a set and layered with the body lotion, this lasts a good 7+ hours. Plus, it's not pricey so I don't mind respraying if necessary. It may be a little weaker on me since I did buy it in the freezing cold weather and I am thinking the heat will really bring out the beauty and increase the longevity of this scent.

After reading the reviews I felt I needed to give this one a try. I love sweet perfumes and this is exactly what I was hoping for, but maybe not everything I wanted. Don't get me wrong, it's sweet, fruity, and does catch attention. Only problem I found with it is that the caramel I was hoping for is nowhere to be found. I could smell the strawberry right off the bat, strong, a hint sour, and very sweet. After a few minutes the floral notes take part in it, violet leaf really just exploding with freshness. The honeysuckle keeps the sweetness of the strawberry really flowing all the way through. Still, at least on me, I don't get caramel in the base. That does not make me regret purchasing this perfume, not by a long shot. The bottle is so cool and the fragrance is a great compliment magnet.
