Giorgio Glam

I'v always loved heavy, strong orientals, but when I purchased Glam I was looking for a change. I tested this on my wrist at the department store. It was in January and it was new and I hadn't heard of this fragrance yet. I often wear Red by giorgio beverly hills and loved it. So I shopped for a while after I sprayed Glam on me and I had no idea of the notes in this at the time but I definetly could tell this was not my typical oriental I usually favor and that it was floral of some type. Florals usually turn me off but there was something hypnotic and addictive about this one for me. Fragrances varies from one individual to the next. Thats one thing I find so fun about them. I can see how one would view this as a light fragrance. It did have a aquatic touch to it to me. But for me, it also had sunshine type of warmth and I was surprised to find its sillage on me was further than I expected. My kids and husband could still smell it from several feet away from me but not in a offensive or loud way but a very pleasant way. And the longetivty ended up being for about 4 hours which for me is good because for some reason even the most longest lasting fragrances typically never last longer than that even with layering. Im really hot natured person so maybe that has something to do with it, idk. I don't think gardenia is listed but I seemed to smell it. It doesn't seem like a very complex perfume but I still loved it. I was feeling down the day I tested it and it really did lift my mood. I usually don't feel sexy with florals or anything with any lightness to it but this one made me feel very sexy, feminine, and even seductive with its sweetness of jasmine and fruity florals. The florals in it reminded me a bit of the florals in Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds and the fruity like the fruits in Elizabeth Taylor Lustre which are two of my all time favorites. So it was a bright feeling fragrance but since my chemistry responded well with this one, I also felt awesome wearing it on a evening out. My husband loves this on me and I feel so romantic when wearing it. I received many compliments from men and women. It might NOT smell this way on everyone but I encourage to at least give it a test, you might be delightfuly surprised like me. IMO its not a sex vixen type of sexy but a romantic goddess of love type of sexy.

Years ago, in middle school, I received a (knockoff) perfume I had asked for. I'm not sure what it was a knockoff of, but it was called "Free Dream". It smelled amazing and isn't manufactured anymore. I never thought I'd find anything like it...until I found this. The bottle is gorgeous, and just my style. I actually only own the mist currently, but even on the plastic tube-shaped bottle, I fancy the pink & purple ombre colors, gold disks, and gold writing. The design has an '80s or 1990s feel, yet the bottle itself looks modern, like something by Guess. The scent seems slightly different than what the packaging would have me believe it was (I was imagining something akin to Guess? Girl or Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy), but I enjoy it just the same. For me, the most obvious note would have to be magnolia. I would say this is my favorite magnolia scent. I do smell peonies blended into that though. So yes, it is technically in the floral family, though there is a bit of powdery-ness (*that's how jasmine tends to come off, with my body chemistry) to the undertones, which keeps it from being super girly in the way that, say, a Paris Hilton or Victoria's Secret scent would be. It is 'girly', but not in a saccharine way. Strong florals, blowing through a robust breeze...perhaps on an early spring day after a heavy rain. That's what this smells like to me. It also calls to mind the power-femininity of an ambitious woman working at a prestigious fashion boutique in California...which is ironic because it comes from a perfume house originally based out of Rodeo Drive but, coincidentally, I know this is considered a "bargain fragrance". Well worth the money, in my opinion. Magnolia is high on my list of favorite fragrance notes. I bought the body spray edition of this at T. J. Maxx for $5, but I've seen it in the past at both Wal-Mart and Kohl's department store. Silage is decent on the spray, as is longevity, so I imagine it's even stronger on the EDT/EDP.

truth be told I am not a fan of Giorgio Beverly Hills and I find most of the fragrances I've tried from this particular brand to be too old-fashioned and outdated for my more modern preferences, I have tried about 7 of their perfumes and so far I dislike most of them, there are only 2 perfumes from this brand that I actually like and this Giorgio Glam is 1 of them, the other being Giorgio Blue, because these 2 perfumes are alot more modern compared the most of their other perfumes which are more classic. I love flowers so I love the blend of different floral notes in this, it's a very prominent floral fragrance with a hint of fruity scent from the plum note. After my previous bad experiences with this brand in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by just how beautiful this fragrance is and its longevity on my skin is very good. This has become 1 of my favourite perfumes to wear.

Here I have a beautiful designed box and bottle of fragrance that is 1 FL Oz. The box was sealed in plastic wrap but once I took that plastic wrap off the box I could smell the fragrance. The box is really pretty I like the design on it. There is a NEW fragrance in most fashion boutiques on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Oh My, with each spray of this fragrance you can smell the blend of florals, fruits, and sensuous woods.

100 mill EDP $14.99: A Bargain. Something herbaceous comes out in this fleetingly assailing my senses and I don't really enjoy this mutation, however as doesn't last too long I don't mind the multiple personalities of Giorgio 'Glam'. 'Glam' is relatively long lived and does initially smell grandly glam and on me and is hugely floral nearly capturing the powerhouse vibe of the 80's nearly. I reiterate, this potential is completely destroyed by the changeable personality of this fragrance, as it burns off notes more rapidly than a Grand Prix engine leaving one exhausted with the changes that eventually dry down to merely musk and nothing more. I love the top notes, so multiple applications maybe the order for my enjoyment of this fragrance. The bottle slash flacon is presented in a heavy magenta toned and tinted brick like vessel. Very Glam indeed. Mimicking other bottle designs of many contemporary fragrances I have noticed and noted, fitting in well if one has these fragrances on ones shelf. I find on my skin that this a multiple personality fragrance one I layer to avoid the dirty middle note that is acrid on my senses. This layers well with fruity and rose scented fragrances. I have received attention and compliments when wearing this out.
