Wild Essence

This was a blind buy. I bought it confident that I would like it because cotton flower is one of my favorite perfume notes. Sure enough I really love this! I have made it my daytime signature. It's just zesty & fresh. Very clean like a garden after a light rain. Not wild at all but very natural and lightweight. It's got a salty breeze feel to it. Granted the lasting power is not as good as I would have hoped but it makes this really easy to wear. Especially if you work in a sensitive setting. It's not going to overwhelm anyone. It sits very close to the skin. I really want to try more of Halle's perfumes now. She has probably the least popular fragrances on the market and I'm not sure why as I really liked this one. I recommend this is if you don't like overly fruity, candy sweet perfumes. This is a natural, clean, skin scent.

I really love this smell. But unfortunatly, I can barely smell it on my skin 20 minutes later! I'm glad I got this on sale, otherwise I'd be even more disappointed.

It's enchanting, entangling, slightly mysterious but not dangerous. It reminds me of a walk in the botanical garden in Morocco on a cool, misty day back in the eighties (and such days are a rarity in the summer) - the air is fresh but full of plant essential oils and the mist from the ocean - just wonderful! It's green and woody with delicate floral notes. Musk is hardly present (which is great), just as an amplifier, not as a key ingredient (thank goodness!). The scent is not aggressive, quite safe in fact, but really mesmerizing! Here, with Wild Essence, you must go and get the whole line - shower gel, body lotion, deo spray and perfume and use it for a few days - then this "mist" will become your mysterious and delicate aura.

A reviewer below mentions nivea lotion. Not sure exactly what nivea smells like but I can say that this one smells like a mellow floral but mostly lotion-like scent. Probably like nivea. Pleasant enough. Smells clean and calming.

There are the same notes as in Celine Dion's Simply Chic! I like both fragrances. It is a warm floral, pleasant scent, but there is nothing "wild" in this Essence...
