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.

Just purchased this perfume in a set that included the 3.4 oz perfume, a .25 oz mini, 3 oz lotion, & 3 oz body wash. I have to say, that I really love the bottle, although many people think it is tacky. As for the scent, it's so fruity and beautiful...it had me at first sniff. :) My husband normally doesn't buy my perfumes (i buy them for myself), but he wanted to treat me to this one. He actually bought himself the men's version, which also smells great. Now we can wear our matching perfume & cologne and I'm sure we'll both get compliments on them. :) Edit: After wearing this perfume for a day, I do happen to agree with the others that say it smells like Coach Poppy. The only difference is the price tag. This was much cheaper than Poppy, so I'm happy. :)

So I have been in love love love love with this since it came out and it was first given to me as a sample when I lived across the country from where I am now and I got to experience it there-they did give me several samples! So I got to associate this perfume with all the cool and exciting times I had living in that part of the country and not only do I love the gourmand to it, but it’s not just as simple as a gourmand! I really do recommend trying this, it’s so beautiful! It’s lasts a long time, on skin and clothes! And I found the BEST deal on a pop up website-once it’s back up after Xmas I’ll share the libk

I have to admit that it was the bottle that first attracted me to this perfume. Its just so fun and different (yes, I am a bit of a goth). This scent must be the sweetest I have in my three figure scent collection. You are definitely hit with strawberries first and then the sweet honeysuckle and candy. It briefly kinda reminded me of the Cacharel perfume Lou Lou. I was not sure at first if I liked it or not but it has grown on me. It has average sillage and longevity on my skin. My other half loves this scent, which is a first. He was all over me! lol

When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised and for some reason it made my day to see a skull Instead of the same old boring bottle. The scent was a complete mystery at first I thought of red berries, sugar, patchouli and church candles. The smell in one word is sublime not only did it meet my expectations but the anticipation excited me. This gets a 10/10 rating from me on presentation and smell. PS my bf loving the way I smelt was a plus :)

This perfume is amazing! I was wearing it earlier and both my friend and her boyfriend commented on how good I smelled. So I really think it's good for catching peoples attention. In my opinion it has pretty strong lasting power and it projects well with just a few spritzes. I think in some ways it smells a little similar to mariah careys dreams because of the caramel but this is lighter better for spring/summer days.

I smelt this on a card and went "blah, no" but a friend convinced me to try it on, and boy am I glad I did. This starts off with a very tart fruit note, that really didn't do it for me at all. Once it begins to dry down a little, I can detect the ozotic notes. After about 20 minutes though the caramel notes really start coming out on me, and it smells divine. This lasts several hours on me too. Love it

One year later...and I'm still in love and haven't found anything that holds a candle to this. I still wish the bottle was smaller in a way and not as bulky as I have one in my car and on a DIY mirror cake stand type perfume stand but never the less this is still a well loved scent of mine and I couldn't imagine my life without it. I'm always reaching for it :) love love LOVE! a must try !!

The bottle is badass, if you think it's not maybe it's time to take the teddy off your bed and unicorn posters down. The first sniff from the bottle smells alot like Mystery flavor Stride chewing gum...(I guess The mystery remains)Try it and you'll see! I have never disagreed with the listed notes as much as I do with this perfume. strawberry???

This is just a sweet, nice perfume.. smells like strawberry and caramel... i layer this with vanilla bodybutter and its smells really nice.. Its fruity and gourmand.. i would describe this as girly, flirty, warm and romantic but still sexy sweet.. I really enjoy this, and the bottle is soo cute as well:)

I love the smell of this. I get a lot of cherry even though its not one of the notes, as well as the strawberry. Its very ligth and girly, and would be good for a younger girl. The bottle itself doesn't look to mature. This scent lasts forever and is definetly one of my favorites.

I love this stuff! Very girly and sweet but it smells amazing and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. It is refreshing and sugary but not overwhelmingly sweet. It's an inoffensive and overall a good fragrance.

Fell in love with it immediately and bought it in a rush and loved it more when my husband complimented ...unfortunately with my great sadness it is not available in Egypt anymore 💔

I absolutely love the bottle,the perfume smells exactly really good. I love it, its sweet, fruity and watery. Smells just like coach poppy, which I own.

I'm really confused, because I bought a 3.4oz Skulls & Roses tester (which is just the bottom part of the skull bottle, without the cranium cap) & the notes it has listed on the back are very different from the notes shown here! There's no strawberry at all. What's going on?? The notes as listed on the tester bottle: Top: Bitter Orange, Pineapple, Black Raspberry Mid: Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Orange Flower Dry Down: Caramel, Vanilla, Sheer Woods, Musk My Skulls & Roses smells somewhat similar to Villain, in that they both contain a sugar rush of luscious, juicy, mouthwatering tropical fruits against a sweet sultry feminine floral gourmand background. At the same time, however, the 2 fragrances contain different specific fruits, which makes them dissimilar enough to warrant trying both, if juicy tropical fruity floral gourmands are your thing. I can smell the fresh juicy watery orange & pineapple, sweetened with orange blossom, honeysuckle & caramel. The silage is ok, but the longevity is the same as all the Ed Hardy fragrances I've tried; sadly short. I love the fragrance, & the bottle (even though mine is missing a cranium.) I'm just not sure when or how (or why) the strawberry caramel scent became a pineapple orange scent. Baffling, truly.

Well,this was a gift,so I didn't pick this one out.I have been building an Ed Hardy collection,and so,the bf thought this would be an ideal gift.It was at Marshall's,for $25 for a 2.5 oz bottle. Anyway,let me start by saying the bottle is definitely unique! But,a little awkward to use.i saved the box,and leave it in there,a little less creepy lol! The scent itself is yet another fruity floral.I received many compliments on it,but personally,I found it a bit generic,indistinguishable from it's counterparts in the fruity floral category.Smelling it on a stranger,I would be hard pressed to name it.My first guess would be Fantasy,as it does smell similar,but fantasy is sweeter. It has pretty moderate sillage. and longevity is around 2-3 hours,which is ok,for the price.I get more longevity from most of my body sprays,sadly. If you are looking for something unique,aside from the bottle,you won't find it here.If you want something sweet,fruity,and work safe,then this one's for you.For me,it's a little too boring and unoriginal.It seems to me,the Ed Hardy brand has the market covered on sweet fruity florals.I like the original well enough,but the rest have been a bit too meh for me.
