Radiant

I wish they hadn't discontinued the rollerballs of these scents--they were super portable and convenient--also re-fillable if you are determined!I really love Drew as an actress and she seems like a person I would like and relate to--(My family is full of attractive, insane drunks, too!) I liked the Sparkling Garden and Radiant enough to buy them---I find Radiant to be just that--some folks on this thread find it too chemical and not lasting, but the silage is crazy for me and I love the wet, cool, clean green-ness of it Yes, there is rose but not an obvious or cheap one--but a cool, fresh one. I think this is a perfect work scent, as it is clean and non-threatening. It's is NOT an emotional fragrance, it IS coll and detached and, as an Aquarius, it suits me just fine. Thumbs up!

This is your Chloé dupe, but better. While Chloé stays more white floral, Radiant Flower focuses more on a spicy rose. I almost smell a black peppery hint with how strong the rose is. This is a rose perfume, first and foremost. This is so much cheaper and lasts a lot longer than Chloé. While other roses have an almost sour note, like in Idôle, this powers on a sharp green note. Really beautiful, and for the price, an easy buy for a night out.

I went to test this at the discount store, since I have been curious about Drew B. & her FLOWER Cosmetics line for some time now. I promptly found that the tester bottle was glued down. I can't imagine anyone being tacky enough to steal tester bottles of perfume, but I guess that possibility worried someone. I thought the nozzle was directed towards my skin, but apparently, it was flipped about. My poor husbands shoulder was in the direct line of fire, so he and his nice dress shirt took a hosing. There was not much he could do about smelling (Radiantly) like a flower for the rest of the afternoon, so I am glad he laughed it off and was a great sport, taking one for the perfume testing team. I did manage to get some on my skin as well. This is a VERY strong floral, with a chemical smell that comes right out swinging at the beginning, but it fades off in about ten minutes. I can envision Fran Fine whining about the synthetic "Calone" water molecule note, inadvertently annexing the entire scent~ "The cologne! Oh my goooodnesssss, the cologne!" I do think this could smell rather amazing, classically french, and even like old money on some people, but it did not work for me. It felt jarring to my nerves to smell for the remainder of the day, yet I kept wanting to get more of that floral scent wafting around. I think I will blame the Magnolia for that. Some people picture Southern charm, white chiffon, grace and softness when they smell Magnolia. I’m learning to love Magnolia. She js my red lipstick of perfume notes. She is the friend that talks a bit too loudly, tends to give people slight headaches...the one you had to post bail for, yet you still utterly adore her because she is committed to whatever she does or says, is unique & exciting, and doesn't give a flying you know what about what anyone thinks. There were many other notes that were coming off as uber soprano on my skin and his shirt and we could smell this six hours later. Score yet again for another drug store scent with incredible staying power. If you like the smell of: *Surf Laundry Detergent *Bounce Outdoor Fresh Dryer Sheets *Avon's Rare Pearls, or *Chloe EDT Chloe and you want a strong smelling, long lasting floral alternative with a similar vibe, I would highly recommend this. As for me, I guess I would rather just enjoy this on someone else or their shirt. :) P.S. Nice bottle with a sweet, befitting cap.

I didn't know what this was when I bought it. It was in a case with no info. It smelled nice and looked pretty. I was in a hurry so I bought it to look it up here. Lucky me! Radiant starts out as a nice blend of roses and watermelon. Perfect for hot days. But the dry down on me changes seasons 180 degrees. It becomes a cold rose. If you have ever walked into a home at Christmas time and seen Winter roses near the Christmas tree you get the idea. They are almost surreal. They don't belong. But they do! They are classy and unexpected among the traditional greenery. Radiant is a very cold, aquatic rose with plenty of green to it. I normally don't like aquatic, but this is different. A rose out of place in Winter but still a rose and always beautiful. This will be fun to wear in the snow. I'm guessing that it will mesh perfectly with all the wood fire smokiness and spice smells the season will throw at me. I can't wait to see. Sillage is moderate and longevity on me is 6+ hours which is very good. Not a bad buy at all.

So I finally nabbed a box set on super after Christmas clearance at Walmart of this and am laughing maniacally about it. Finally my trio is complete! Ahem... For the actual perfume, I must say I'm a bit underwhelmed. It smells very much like an Escada perfume I have. Mostly fresh cut grass, citrus and water. So light I literally have to press my nose against my wrist to smell it. It will be nice for work, but it definitely needs something with more... Umph to back it up. Maybe something with a spicy fruit note... I'll have to play with it. Definitely one to layer. Almost no staying power. Sigh. I really wanted to love this, but it has no real heart. It needed something endearing to it. Maybe a pear note or something. It's too calm to feel sporty but too green to feel like a floral. It doesn't have enough personality to it, kind of like a dryer sheet.
