Xperience

I used to be a big fan of Christina Aguilera many years ago and I like many of her fragrances, but this one is my favourite fragrance from her, I love the combination of the floral notes with the refreshing citrus note of the bergamot, they complement each other so well. This is a lovely fragrance that smells so nice and so pleasant on my skin and the longevity is quite good. And Chemist Warehouse typically sells Christina's perfumes for about $29.99 for 50-60ml bottles, so they're very affordable too.

It ́s embarrassing how they always recycling same pics of Christina from different perfume commercials. This look was already used for "Definition". They did same with Woman and Touch of Seduction. Even they used for Glam X commercial a sneek peak from Christina ́s Woman commercial for introducing this perfume. How embarrasing, we can see Christina in her "Glam X" commercial with a bottle of Woman perfume...Xperience deserve a new commercial and new promo. I hate how lazy this fragrance company is.

It is much prettier than I expected! Reviews were lukewarm so I thought it's going to be a boring ordinary sweet perfume, but it reminds me of a perfume I used to adore as a teenager, I think it was one of Kylie Minogue's perfumes, the one in the white/pearly/lilac bottle, which got discontinued and my heart broken. Longevity is average-low as usual with Aguilera's perfumes. But the scent is really something else! I like it much better than the rest of her recent perfumes! I will be happy to purchase it and wear it in spring and summer.

Xperience has the same lovely powdery floral hawthorn note that you can find in SMN's Fieno. If you're not too fussed about respraying, enjoy hawthorn as a note and perfumes that are a little aloof (the peony/lotus combo does make X feel a little cold) then you should be happy making Xperience a part of your collection.

**FOR ALL THE USA RESIDENTS INTERESTED IN GRABBING THIS. IT IS NOW FOR SALE ON FRAGRANCENET! JUST LISTED IT A FEW DAYS AGO. ALONG WITH A REFRESH OF THE MAJORITY OF HER FRAGRANCE CATALOG!**

Nice and pleasant (but nothing special) Smells fresh/clean/ slightly sweet. Inoffensive. Suitable for the summer during the day. Sadly, too weak. It fades away after less than an hour.

Refreshing, maybe evena bit of coldness in it. Slightly sweet undertone to balance it out.

The opening is sweet (not too much so) and fresh and it almost reminded me of a watermelon. The heart is almost all lotus and a cold floral. It settles into a sweet, warm amber that is pleasant though generic. It wears close to the skin. You can easily skip this one out.

This one is very different from the rest of the Christina line. To me it's woodsy & citrus. The only wood listed is Mahogany & for citrus it's Bergamot, so I think that's mostly what I'm smelling. Bergamot is the ingredient that defines Earl Grey tea, & as a tea drinker it's kind of cool that this note is very present here. This is not a very sweet smelling perfume. I'm not great with recognizing individual flowers as I don't know what each of the ones listed smell like so I'm not really sure if the Hawthorne, Lotus, Frangipani, Peony, or Orange Blossom are coming through, but overall I would say this does not smell floral to my nose. If you are getting any hint of sweetness perhaps it's from the Frangipani? I believe that's a sweet smelling flower, but not positive. I'm really mostly getting wood & bergamot. It's very different for the line, but I find myself liking it. This is definitely not my usual perfume preference- I like my perfumes on the sweet side. But somehow this works. It's woodsy & a bit fresh (from the citrus probably). Earthy perhaps. I'd say inoffensive, even if it's not everyone's taste. It's mild with not a huge projection, which works for this scent. It's not something I would normally purchase, but I collect the Christina's and I'm glad it's in my collection for when I want to reach for something different, tame, & a bit earthy.

Warm, a bit powdery and generically sweet. I don't know what Christina wants us to xperience with this fragrance. What i experienced was boredom and disappointment. In the last years, Aguilera's scents have lost quality. Nowadays there are many cheap scents that are good, so celebrities have to start producing better stuff. Final note: 4/10
