Adventurous

Funny enough, I don't get ANY green, caramel or sweet notes from this. But boy do I love this one. I find the name "Adventurous" fitting. No, it's not exotic as in "wow, this smells like coconut and sunscreen" but rather "wow, this smells like an african safari AND a weekend in NYC at the same time". It has this universal "urban jungle" feel to it. It's light and fresh but turns warm on my skin, as if I'd been in the sun all day. I'd say it's a woody floral that would suit a woman at any age. Transforms well from day to evening :)

Sweet little summer fragrance, which unfortunately isn't long lasting. At first Adventurous is a bit too green and sharp, and therefore it burns the nose. Then it turns into a fruit-juice-spilled-on-flowers kind of smell. Nothing new, and nothing adventurous for that matter, however it is likable. I also like the bottle, sleek simple design with coral and golden and that's all that is interesting about Adventurous.

I tested it today and liked it. To me it started off with a strong toffee note. I guess this was the caramel element. It reminded me a bit of Kimora Lee Simmons Golden Goddess. It doesn't have the sweetness you imagine with caramel and all the sweet scents. It's more a grown up scent. Unfortunately the staying power on my skin wasn't that great.

Pretty bottle, but misleading. Based on the advertising, this should be a warm, tropical perfume. However, upon spraying, you are whacked in the nostrils with sharp greenness. It really stings. This initial blast does wear off, and then inexplicably I am smelling toffee mixed with white florals. At some point, fruit comes into play. Talk about whiplash. I did enjoy parts of the dry down, but it wasn't anything earth shattering. Not worth sitting through the olfactory equivalent of a roller coaster.

I found this one very strange,not gourmand and all,more floral-green...

I agree with the urban jungle adventure like previous reviewer explained it. A little bit of sophistication as for the city and a lot of strong fruity notes as if in the jungle or on an afrikan dusty safari ! I think the top notes doesn't really go a long well and I usually get that feeling when red currants are in the blend. And together with the green notes, whatevers been put in.that note /word, makes this a kind of strange start...probably that is why so many pushed the not like button - they have stopped here and probably scrubbed it off. This is were the lovely adventure starts ! Yummy heliotrope jasmin and lotus a lovely combination. Softly rolls into a soft blanket of musk caramel with the slightest touch of creamy vetiver wich lets you have a nice rest under the full moon of the african night.

Actually This is my second review here .. I deleted the 1st post because I discovered that I judged so quickly on this perfume .. This perfume needs from you to try it twice .. at the first I didn't understood the notes of caramel which are not over sweet or gourmand ,, that was a new thing to my nose to smell a classY,balanced and strong caramel note at the same time, I don't smell fruits here but I can notice vetiver & musk .. The bottle is masterpiece for me with it's golden stopper & slim design which is so reasonable for travelling & trips .. The lasting power & sillage are normal .. just apply more if you want a concentrated smell .. That's so interesting !

Just tested it at an airport duty free. It's a very delicately balanced floral/fruity/gourmand blend, in the sense that none of these three elements stand out, but altogether they produce a rather charming summery and delicately feminine effect. Because I need to 'live' in a fragrance for a full few hours before I can make a decision to buy it, I boarded my my flight without having bought Adventurous, and I regret it now! It's not yet available in the stores here in Moscow... Will wait...

Tested Adventurous yet again at another duty free yesterday. I agree with NathalieZ - there was something sharp and scratchy in the fragrance that started to protrude after an hour or so - I even thought it was some sort of unpleasant spice, but I know now it must have been the vetiver! Didn't buy it - could not imagive using up the 50 ml bottle in a million years.

Adventurous to me smells a bit exotic, a suntan-lotion type of scent without typical coconut and tiare. I think it'll ba a popular buy in the duty frees all over the world in the holiday season. Nice, but nothing innovative. Estee Lauder plays safe, not adventurous. Decent sillage, staying power of about 3-4 hours.

My colleague came to my room and showed me this perfume. It is sweet and thick, I think it would suitable for women at 30+. Nice perfume but should be very feminine person should wear this fragrance, not my cup of tea though :)

I don't get this as fruity gourmand. On me, it is straight floral. Starts out green, I thought I could detect gardenia in the beginning. As it dries down, it gets softer and a bit sweeter. Then it gets soapy and musky.
