Herve Leger

I tested this fragrance on paper about a year ago and was not impressed at all & had not-so-very-nice things to say of it. Last weekend, I was in a Nordstrom with a really pushy sales rep and she made me try it on my skin...so I did... I TAKE IT ALL BACK! This perfume is absolutely gorgeous...extremely sexy...very inviting...it is precisely what I imagined Allure Sensuelle would smell like, only it didn't. The balance between the vanilla and sandalwood hits that perfect mix creating the desire to eat your arm and simultaneously roll around on a velvety floor like a kitty in heat. This is definitely more of a skin-scent on me, as the apple & orchid only make fleeting appearances here and there with warm and sexy intrigue. While sweet and gourmand, the orchid & apple do give it just enough of a kick, or tartness, to keep it from being heavy and cloying. I just LOVE this! And it's purple juice...what girl doesn't want purple juice?!

Easily one of the most lovely perfumes ever. It has the ingredients that I just love and it is a feminine fragrance in the truest sense of the word. Not a fancy scent in terms of having 68 different ingredients or one that you will have to work to 'get'. Nor is it necessarily groundbreaking. Rather, it is simply lovely with a beautiful blend of sandalwood, vanilla, amber and musk all combined just perfectly. I don't think this is a scent that would be offensive to anyone as it is not loud or overbearing. It is not a floral scent, nor is it cloyingly sweet in a foody way. It truly is a woody oriental and a gentle one at that. Absolutely worth trying-a scent you can wear to work but also wear with that certain someone when you want to feel sexy.I don't understand why this one isn't more popular because it should be. It's an overlooked gem. If you enjoy simple and feminine scents, I think you will love this one.

This has been my signature scent for the pasy ten years or so, and when I ent to Nordstrom today I had no idea they'd brought it back. I was so excited I took a picture of the shelf and sent it to my best friend (of 27 yrs) because she had begun to wear it also. Its a slightly different color, more blue-ish than the purple I remember. I had resigned myself to doing without after ordering several bottles on ebay that didn't smell right. Does anyone know if this is the same formula or if it's been tweaked somehow. It still smells amazing, the perfect scent for me. Now I just have to reorganize my budget so I can buy a big bottle! I hope they will keep it around permanently this time.

This perfume has been my "soulmate"....I have worn it most days and nights for the past 12 years and am below the halfway mark in my last bottle. This is the perfect fragrance IMO. I don't get any of the fruit, just the cozy, comfortable, sometimes sexy, feeling that I smell like "me". What's a girl to do? How to start the search over for that perfect chemistry between my skin and the new fragrance? Any suggestions are welcome.

This is a soft, sweet and subtle fragrance. I wouldn't have called it oriental at all - to me it's gently floral with a hint of vanilla, which dries down to a base that is woody with just a touch of musk. I think it's very sexy but in an elegant and understated way that means it's not too extrovert to wear every day. Lovely! I haven't seen it in the shops for a while and I'm just hoping that doesn't mean it's been discontinued.
