Wanted

Oh this is pretty... I am definitely not a blind-buy kind of girl, no matter how inexpensive something is at the discounters. I need to test and feel a product before I decide to purchase it for myself. What made me want to try this was the fact that it was created by two well-known perfumers Dominique Ropion and Carlos Benaim so, I felt that the result would be, at least, interesting. The perfume kicks off with magnolia and ylang-ylang and then smooths down to a beautiful combination of iris, vanilla, and a dash of cedar and sandalwood for an earthly tone. It is a beautiful, elegant, classy blend. “Wanted” is lovely on its own merits, and it gets bonus points for not being fruitchouli or sugary pink, and having a classy bottle too. “Wanted” has a bit of a 70s vibe although, it does not feel like an “old smell” and it strikes me as a good go-to perfume for those times when you’re not sure what to put on but want something pretty, polished and dependable, not overly fresh and not too warm. I will purchase it again. Enjoy the perfume quest! Josephine

I have this beauty in my collection and never use it until today. Many years ago this was said to have a lot of hype. Unfortunately, in the US we don’t get HR products for some odd reason. this is a scent profile that I have smelled before but I can’t put my finger on it, none of the “remind me” fragrances listed are the it! Excellent for spring and summer very floral and Ylang Ylang comes right to the top. It can start out loud with the Ylang but once it settles it smells amazing and softens with citrus and woody notes. I love Dominque Rippon fragrances and have many. This is a keeper and I wish they would sell it here in US or bring it back. Ok now I remember this reminds me of “The Key” by Justin Bieber. Almost the same unfortunately they are both disc.

All You've ever wanted is L'Instant De Guerlain minus wanilla. Wnated is a perfect winter fragrance, strong on florals, especially on ylang ylang which is rather dominant from the very beginning till the dry down. Magnolia is very subtle and is more of a ''complementary additive'' to the fragrance. Base is pleasant woodsy, not dry, nor bitter - it is soft and very comforting. Overall, the fragrance is of a high quality, it possesses good longetivity and silage. Perfect for office wear, great for a job interview, elegant and enveloping. I like to wear it in winter/fall time, although spring would seem to be also an appropriate time of the year to wear it. Feminine and smart. Thumbs up. A must have for ylang ylang lovers.

Beatrix, I couldn't agree with you more. Habanita, please, do us and yourself a favor and sort yourself out. I understand we all have different tastes but most your reviews seem to be all negative and sometimes even insulting for perfume noses, they rarely bring anything constructive on board. You moan and groan and seem to dislike or hate not only perfumes but apparently yourself, as well as the whole world around you.

This perfume is the fresh sister of Galliano EDP. I actually would say, it would have been a better interpretation of the EDT Galliano than the actual EDT Galliano. The EDP being really purple gothic, this one is more fresh and I would say there is something fruity in it as well! It is a bit zesty too! I really love this one VERY much!
