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.

Bought the EDP as a blind buy for 20 dollars Canadian. On my skin, it comes on very flowery at first, almost too sweet. I am guessing it is the peony. It then slowly fades in the sweetness, and I smell musk in the base...yet musk is not listed? Must be the sandalwood mixed with something else..the amber or iris perhaps? It is one of the rare frags that I can smell on myself for an extended period. I have owned perfumes, expensive ones, that I could only detect on myself for only a few moments after spraying. Highly recommend to those who enjoy florals with longevity, especially if you get it on sale.

In the top, a very synthetic peony, cyclamen and heliiotrope with some sandalwood; light and bright for spring. I like it but don't love it.There are others in the genre done much better. But, since I paid about $6 for this, I can really like it. As it dries down, the florals come together. It is very nice for spring.

i went seeking fragrances yesterday. found this at kohls. i did the charles gross thing of spraying it on my wrist and going shopping. fast forward to-- couldn't stop smelling my wrist. does anyone but me smell oily gorgeous red roses in this? wow, lovely perfume. recommend. wearing it now

This was a blind buy last month. I sprayed it on in the car and didn't really like it and was going to give it to my daughter. I put it up and forgot about it and decided to try it again. Don't know why I didn't intialy like it but I'm loving it today. A really nice sweet floral.

Unfortunately, it smells like drugstore shampoo and nothing more. Too bad.. 'm not exactly surprised, since I paid $9 something for it. Oh, well. The colors of the bottle made me decide to buy it, and I expected something better, because I have had other inexpensive perfumes turn out to be great blind buys.. But this one is a complete waste for me..

Giorgio Glam opens with magnolia, just the tiniest bit like Britney Spears Believe. Peony appears next, and while I agree that peony has been way overused in cheap fruity-florals, it's nice in this one, not screechy. Plum sets Glam apart from others in its genre because the plum here is surprisingly dark and brooding. For a while it doesn't quiiiite get along with the peony, and there's a tension, a point where you expect it to turn into a jammy shrill disaster, but it never does. The plum gives softness and heft to this. There's an oddball grassy floral smell which is likely the cyclamen. The heat where I live just fries cyclamen, so I am not familiar with that note. Overall the effect is that of a dark peony/magnolia fragrance. It's more unusual than I thought it would be at first. Kind of a nighttime version of Red Door Revealed. Plum does not always work on my skin, so sometimes this comes dangerously close to smelling like apple butter mixed with grass and some flowers on me, yet I still like it a lot for everyday wear. I won't insult it by calling it "office safe," yet I doubt many people would be offended by it since the sillage is moderate. The magnolia comes and goes, keeping Glam from being linear. Very likable and easy to wear. Better in fall and winter than in summer because of the plum.

This is currently being sold in the US at the HSN (Home Shopping Network) website for $42-$72. From the product website: "Embrace the sophisticated extravagance of Beverly Hills with this bold, captivating fragrance that evokes the modern glamour of Giorgio. Opening with sparkling floral notes, the scent ends with rich sandalwood and golden amber, adding a touch of opulence and sensuousness. Because luxury isn't an option; it's a necessity. Top: Sparkling floral notes of magnolia, wild cyclamen and peony Mid: Fruity notes of stephanotis flower, iris, plum and jasmine Base: Woody ambery notes of white heliotrope, golden labdanum and sandalwood" Hope that helps for some who are looking for it...

If J'adore had a sassy younger sister with an attitude, her name would be Giorgio Glam. They share similar notes (magnolia, jasmine, and plum), but GG is less refined and not as subtle. I do not detect powdery or rose notes at all. I enjoy the scent and the price, it's very affordable (I purchased my bottle with Kohl's cash), but I feel this fragrance would be more appreciated by and more appropriate for someone younger than me. (I'm closer to 50 than 40.) I wear this just for me on days I want to conserve my bottle of J'adore, but it isn't what I would choose to wear for outings or special occasions.

Great blind buy for me because I got a awesome deal through HSN: 1.7oz edp for only 17$! Shipping and handling free! I figured if I didn't like it I could always give it as a gift. It is definitely not for perfume snobs, this one is on the "cheap" side...If you like any of the Viva La Juicys by Juicy Couture, you'll like this one. Sillage is almost non-existent, this is mainly a skin scent. Also, not long lasting at all, maybe an hour or two. Very pleasant, I can see all ages wearing this scent. Would I repurchase? No, only if it was at massive discount.

Even though longevity and sillage are kind of lacking, I can't help but like this one a lot because cyclamen and heliotrope are really prominent here in Glam and those two are among my top favourite notes. Peony help them stay fresh and although musk isn't listed, I kind of get a musky sense in here somewhere. I'm a heavy sprayer too so I don't mind at all refreshing Glam a few times throughout the day. The bottle helps Glam live up to its' name, it really is glam, looks beautiful on my table. For $18 I'm not sorry I bought it.

Walgreens stores are carrying the $39.99 size bottle. This stuff is Gorgeous! The first time I sprayed it, I loved it, but could not point the notes out. The second time, I realized, there is a slight background of the original Giorgio, but not enough to scare me off. It reminds me of Charlie Express, long time discontinued favorite. So glad I stumbled across this little gem!

Wow.....an HSN offering? And at 72 dollars, I'm not certain if I want to take the plunge. The notes look wonderful. I wonder if HSN also had Gold at one point? I haven't found that one yet anywhere. I think I am going to have to hold off and see what others think first. Hopefully it will still be around if I decide to buy it.

Nope. I tested this yesterday it is very white floral in a synthetic way a bit like glam by Kim kardashian. It is quite matronly and very noticeable. I have read people mention the plum but all I could smell was something like soap shampoo and deodorant it has a bit of the blue Giorgio in it. It did last very well though.

I was wandering around Walgreens/Duane Reade looking for something else and I came across the small tester of this with the original Giorgio BH. Giorgio Glam reminds me of something from the past that I once wore. It does not smell like the typical release for 2017. Definitely smell this in person.

This reminds me of Electric Youth by Debbie Gibson!! Love it! More floral though. Update: OK, I've had owned this perfume for about a month now. Now it just makes me think of straight up roses! So if you love rose scents, you will love this one. It's wonderful!

I just saw our local walmart had this on their shelves. I am pretty sure they do not set their own perfume shelves and they have a 3rd party vendor do their "high end" shelves. Unfortunately like most big box stores there is no testor. Price was around $28.

Seems I got myself a great deal on this! It’s a 1 oz EdP and 8oz body spray gift set for $7.49!!!! I do really like it but I am having a hard time figuring out how to describe the fragrance....I’ll be back tomorrow lol

I'm not getting my hopes up for ever finding this one. I've been looking all over for the Gold, and cannot find that either! Where are these being released???????

Bottle not the greatest, scent is like something Liz Claiborne would put out. Bright, piercing floral similar to Jadore.

Giorgio in Victoria Secret. Actually the bottle is the one of Prince scent.

Yes I would love to have this too!! The bottle looks fabulous!!!
