Daring

I don't find it daring in the least. The name surprises me. Then again, so does the fragrance. I'm surprised at just how appealing I find Daring. It's so very pleasing to wear. And wear it I do, over and over and over, as I have recently realized. I'm so intrigued to discover what about it holds me close. Is it the Prada Amber Pour Homme-esque myrrh I perceive? The one HE wears tugging at me subconsciously? Maybe. I guess it could be the more feminine Mariella Burani-esque sandalwood. Possibly. It certainly presents with the same soft familiarity in Daring. I'm not sure I quite believe there's no heliotrope, no vanilla. Because it certainly smells and feels like the same Boucheron Jaipur Saphir-esque cuddle. It's not the coriander. Unlike most, I barely get a whiff of it in Daring, mercifully. Not in the beginning and not the hours and hours of wear which follow. SOMETHING is pushing my comfort buttons in this composition, but...what? What is it about Daring for me? Why such a reaction? Maybe that's the 'dare', being comfortable in the beautiful unknown.

I have been looking for a soft floral or floral woody musk for some time. I had and love Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden, but I wanted something different, something muskier. I found Daring by Isabella Rossellini for very little money and decided to try it. It is lovey, the heart is peony,jasmine and some flowers that I can't idenify. There is a loud top note,but it doesn't last very long. The honey is mild and not too sweet which I like and this means the scent can be worn all year round. While I like the heart the real beauty is the dry down. Musk and myrrh make this perfume soft and sexy, warm and inviting. This is a quality perfume and it last a long time. Soft,sexy,and elegant, I am so glad I bought this. It is a great addition to anyone's wardrobe.

Why do I get a feeling that it smells identical to Sunset by Naomi Campbell... Daring is perhaps on the top of my list of floral woody musk fragrances. It is sensual, sexy, deep and very much appropriate to go with lacy lingerie and silky robe. My partner loves it and I really have that luxury feel when I wear it, I am not sure if I can describe it better than this. Daring is seductive and according to me, evening time suits it best. Myrrh, wood, jasmine a a hint of honey does the job - it will work on your partner's senses, believe me :-) Daring is a great composition which although belongs to a middle-low shelf has the quality of a top shelf fragrance. Good silage, nice lasting power. Well done, Ms Lorson.

Watch out, it's a very nice perfume but ALREADY two of Isabella Roselini's perfumes I've bought was rancid. There is no excuse for this because I've bought them sealed! I had to return the one of them to the store and replace it with another bottle. This one I bought through the net and so I was -kind of- obliged to keep it. I had a decant from a swap and I knew how it smelled. I guess that Coty didn't do such a good job with those perfumes, since they are the first perfumes that I have and they are 'bad'. ABOUT THE PERFUME ITSELF: It smells divine! I like it very much, very feminine and ladylike, suitable for all ages but mostly for younger women (-45).

I am quite fond of Boucheron Jaipur Saphir, which is almost impossible to find now, so when I saw that people compared Daring to that, I decided to see for myself. YES! It is very close although not identical. It will give me an alternative for a little while, until this one is gone too.
