Silhouette

I got this as a sample on FragranceNet.com (they send samples with every purchase), and I'm glad I did. The tonka, musk, amber and benzoin are the stars of this show, but the red currant, orange and green apple make it *just* sweet and fruity enough to "want to eat". I get no rose or green here. It's seductive. VERY seductive. Playful, but not "girly". It doesn't even walk that line. This is a must-have in my book. --- For those looking, you can get a .33 oz sample on EBay for $6.95. -I also review perfumes safe for migraine sufferers and this one has not caused one, though I am unsure if would aggravate a headache that is already brewing.

tonka, amber, benzoin, musk and black currant that give a patchouli vibe that smells like other frags I can't place my finger on; dark, warm and rich

Ahh I can’t decide if I like this one or the Midnight flanker, better. They smell so amazing and cozy. Perfect for chillier weather.

Similar to MFK BR 540, minus the animal notes and longevity.

I received this as a sample from beautyspin. As tracy.debloistalley reviewed, it is soft, very soft. I literally poured a bit from the sample vial right onto my wrist and back of hand and spread it around with the dabbing stick. The dabber itself was not applying enough to get a good whiff. It is seductive as you get closer. Now, a good 45 minutes in, I can sense some wafting up as I type. Amber and citrus dominate to me, and the rose tends to be some spicey. The citrus is not a bright tang, it is mellow. I think the sweetness is not too sweet, although I clicked Yes on Reminds Me of BS Fantasy . That was my first reaction, a faint BS Fantasy without all of the sugar, or the strong blast the BS Fantasy comes on with initially. I find it rather well balanced in a lot of aspects. I see Oakmoss in the notes listed, but not as noses have detected. I love Oakmoss , I can usually detect it right off, but with this - no, I do not pick it up. I do like this very much, as soft as it is. Too soft to be worn as a dressy big occasion scent, in my book. I imagine this in a intimate setting. I imagine this worn with lingerie, or jeans. The longer it`s on, the more I am loving this . It is indeed sexy. I had no clue it was as pricey as it is upon applying. I figured it was a cheapie free sample :/ I guess I am ignorant of this designer. Boo for me - this might end up on my 50th Birthday Perfume Gift List , after weighing the price in with other loves. I would, however, trade this in ( figuratively ) for any of my amber/citrus/Tonka type `fumes. Scent for me 8/10 Longevity ?? About 55 minutes now and detectable Silage 6/10

I just purchased this scent and also Christian Sirano's Midnight Silhouette. I'm totally in love with Midnight Silhouette, which is a deep, resinous and very rich fragrance. It also strongly reminded me of the tobacco my father used in his pipe. I don't know where that tobacco accord was coming from because it's not listed in the notes, but that's how it smelled to me. It also has fantastic silage and longevity that garners compliments galore; majority coming from men. I've just tried Siriano's debute perfume, Silhouette, and right off the bat I can tell this is another well made fragrance. I'm loving the black currant note which is almost giving this a dessert or cordial accord. This perfume is rich like a cordial too. While a little sweet it is not overwhelmingly so and lessens as the fragrance progresses. So far, I've only done the one spray on the wrist test, but it seems like another deep and rich scent. In fairness though, I need to give this a really good wear so that I can get the feel of it. At this point of first impressions it's a like but not a love, though it has potential. I'll be back with a better review after I've experienced this scent some more. Edit - I've since given this to my teen neighbor. She fell in love with the scent and I really think it is more appropriate for someone younger than I am as it is a very sweet, fruity floral. It really suits her too.

Reserving the right to change my opinion, but I ordered it from Kohls during a big 30% sale, sight unseen, strictly by the description of green and cassis, vanilla, heliotrope, oak moss......and when I received, I instantly LOVED it. I almost swooned it was so intoxicating and exactly "me." A couple hours later, I thought I could smell a musky sweet smell on myself way different from the opening, but still very good! Since then, I've worn it twice, neither time dousing myself, and don't notice it past about an hour. :-( BOO. I'm hoping it's just a mistake and I'm preoccupied or something and it will return to the sweet musky smell the next few times I wear it I REALLY hope it because after the first squirt, I ordered a 3.4 oz full size edp, shower gel and body milk from Beautyspin.com!!! I absolutely could drink it from the bottle, but agree (unfortunately) with most reviewers it is neither loud or lasting. I kept thinking it reminded me of something I used to wear and was thinking Christian Dior Addict (the original) ....and after looking up that perfume I discarded years ago, decided the descriptions were similar, and it could very possibly be the one I was thinking smelled familiar in Silhouette. It is also a bit pricey considering the silage and longevity, but just to have in my collection if only for the first fragrant and dreamy 20 minutes, it is worth it.

I requested a sample from the Christian Siriano website when I heard about the launch of the first ever fragrance from this designer. It arrived promptly in the mail and I tried it out this morning on unscrubbed skin. The start is crisp green apple but it twists almost immediately and I caught a huge surge of sugar. Perhaps its my untrained nose but I could not place the sweet smell...it was not identifiable as any particular type of berry or fruit. It is pleasant sweetness just not distinguishable. It changed again within 20 minutes to a strong wood with a hint of rose. Must have missed that "green". I feel this is sexless and would be easy to wear for either men or women once the final notes arrive since the initial sugary tutti-frutti passes so quickly. I wish the green apple/sugar twist lasted longer. A pleasant, easy fragrance.

If I were to go in for a hug and the person smells like this, I would wanna keep hugging them. Although, it does not project any further than a close hug. This fragrance does smell lovely. I never pick up on any of the fruit notes. To my nose it is a comforting, sweet floral scent. Nothing bold about it, but all fragrances don't have to be bold. Personally, if I'm going to invest in a bottle, I like it to make more of a presence, and this just does not. I sprayed my skin and clothes and the skin scent is beautiful, even more so on fabric. After the 4 hour mark, it's hard to detect any trace of the fragrance, though. This is perfect for a super non-offensive work wear, for hanging out at home close to your spouse or kids, or if you don't want to smell any perfume while eating. 6.5/10

Cheers to Christian Siriano for a wonderful debut scent ! Soft and just slightly sweet Ambrette ,Tonka bean and Amber are stand outs and make it very cozy , it reminds me a bit of Hugo Boss Deep Red . Nice for anytime . Sillage and longevity are not great but I just love it anyway :) The bottle is Gorgeous to ! This could be Unisex as well .

Ooooh, this is pretty! Very sweet, gooey, heavy amber scent. Definitely NOT for hot weather unless you want to choke people out, but it shines in the cold! It reminds me simultaneously of Ariana Grande Cloud and Viva la Juicy Gold, but it's bolder and more assertive than either of those.

I got this sample for free. I smelled stronger body sprays on my girlfriend. It's great for an hour, but then it vanishes it's a few inches above the skin. No more after the hour, it's on only the skin. But if you spray it on your clothes, then it's a bit better.

It reminds me of a spicy, more woody version of V&R's Flowerbomb. Definitely a favorite for me, I just wish it lasted a bit longer on my skin. I'd say longevity is about 4-5 hours on my skin.

An outstanding first fragrance by this designer. Tonka, resin, and musk create a rich, enveloping cloak of fragrance.

This has a Givenchy Play vibe to my nose.

I liked this. But the staying power was meh. 3-4 hours. You really have to over spray. And by the time I did that the tonka bean killed me. I hate tonka bean. I tried to like this and it’s much more soft than some other offerings. But. She got returned.

Krásná vůně, ale vůbec nevydrží.

I do not like this perfume at all. It lasts for 20 minutes before completely vanishing. I honestly have never had a high end fragrance do this. When you first apply it is doesn't really smell much either, it's very soft, so soft I can barely notice it. I tried putting more on and nothing. It's not a dud either, I checked another bottle and same problem. Top notes are green apples, grapefruits, red currant, mandarin orange, and green notes. Frankly this is all I notice briefly for about 5 minutes, then nothing. Middle notes are rose, jasmine, and freesia. Barely notice these at all. Base notes are musk mallow, oak moss, benzoin, tonka bean, musk, and amber. I don't smell these at all. This is fairly pricey for what it doesn't do as well; $70.

When I think of Christian Siriano's designs, I think of timeless, elegant and bold, yet refined dresses. This fragrance captures none of his brand's essence for me. It's too safe, to the point where it becomes generic. The sillage isn't great and the longevity is just not there at all. Disappointing!

I got a sample of this with a recent beautyspin order. I knew who Christian Siriano was and I remember seeing this frag debut. For some reason or another, it just never entered my mind to try it. Honestly, this is actually quite nice! It does start off a little sweet, but the dry down is dark and sexy in a subtle way. This is by no means a powerhouse perfume; it is soft, but nice nonetheless. I agree that the tonka, benzoin and orange and amber are the key players. On my skin though, the tonka and amber really stand out. Other than in the opening, I don't get much of the fruit. Even though it sits close to the skin, I found that I really enjoyed the scent, so much that I ordered a bottle. It's not overpowering, so I can wear it to work and not overwhelm my patients or coworkers.
