Stilettos on Lex

Like others have said, at first this is a sweet powdery pear with a hint of floral. Personally, I don’t get much of a lipstick scent from it. After a couple hours on me it turns into a very subtle powdery/sweet/musky skin scent. I love it but I wish the initial scent lasted longer. It has decent projection for the first hour but fades way too quickly. I’m torn between wanting a full bottle and thinking it’s not worth it because this one’s not cheap enough to respray constantly.

The more I use it, the more I truly admire it. The notes are accurate but it’s one of those scents where the mathematical whole is more than the sum of the parts. It’s somehow architectural, but not in a heavy way: very airy, intelligent, logical and transparent. It isn’t an « easy girl », not a Marie-couche-toi-là, she won’t sleep at first and this one needs to be deserved. Take your time. Yes women have a head and a heart, and seduction is not always naked sugar. And?

I am lucky enough to have received a FB of Stilettos on Lex this year. Thank you, Santa!!! :) Although I really liked it when tried it in a sample form, I ADORED it when I had the real thing in my hands!!! It is one of the most - if not THE most- luxurious, refined, elegant presentation and perfume ever!! From the exquisite scent to the heavy glass bottle to the gorgeous Travel Spray to the presentation case, I am conquered!!! All the way!

This is just gorgeous, lush and dewy. I can't pick out the individual notes but they mesh so beautifully together. If I had to, I'd say it's the perfume of a woman in control; a powerful woman. It lasts for hours and hours on me and I keep going for it even though I only have a decant of it. Edit June 19th-I had to buy a full bottle. This is definitely signature-scent territory!

Woooow, I get such a late 90s-early 2000s flashback smelling this! I can't put my finger on what it reminds me of, but I swear I've smelled this as a child and I feel like it must have been a hair product of some sort.. Definately detect lily-of-the-valley and carnation along with soft pear and lots of clean musk. Very feminine and fresh. Love it!

My most favourite fragrance ever! Pure beauty! So elegant, so sensual, so extraordinary feminin. I absolutely adore it and though I have a huge collection of rare niche perfumes and I seldom buy the same perfume two times, this one is among the very few ones that i want to have always!

what a beautiful pear ! flowers growing behind. smooth, elegant, sofisticaded. love it. it reminds me a little diorella and parfum de therese, but instead of melon, it's pear. I'll buy for my wife... this is what women should smell !!! but i'll use it too. "perfumes has no genitalia"

Tested it once, and realized, that I need a ful bottle! Very elegant, very romatic - pears here are juicy, fresh, slighty powdered and decorated with flowers (I mostly feel iris flowers and violets), while plums give some kind of deep accords to the scent. Absolutely love it!

Very powdery. I find it hard when the scent turns out to be incongruous with my preconceived image, name or list of notes. This does not smell edgy, chic or sexy to me. It smells innocent, floaty, powdery and motherly. In brief, Stilettos on Lex smells like pretty powdery pears. The bottle and presentation are nice but I’m glad I purchased for about half off retail. I’ll wear this when I want to smell wholesome and classy like a pretty mom. This does not conjure stilettos on lex but instead a classy mama pushing a baby stroller in Central Park. 7/10 scent 7/10 longevity 9/10 bottle/presentation Yes, definitely the same vibe as Forever and Ever Dior. This is a bridal or new mom scent. Anyone can wear this of course but the vibe is undeniable. I like it. PS I sold this and now wish I hadn’t. It is a nice powdery pear...classy

Wayward and womanly is the essence of this big little lady. Hellokoi nailed the review, but I’ll attempt a few words here myself... Stilettos opens rather cloyingly with a sharp citrus-pear one-two punch. Then the rose joins the ring, teeth bared, the portrait of aggression. Here I can definitely smell the resemblance to Tresor. It’s a rather brutal olfactory experience for the first 30-60 minutes, all knees and elbows, after which the warmongering floral-fruits return to their corners and the sweet powdery vanilla emerges almost as an apologetic afterthought intended to soften the damage. Overall, a bit spastic for me. But it’ll certainly stick with you, whether you ultimately want it to or not; sillage softens considerably once the vanilla phase begins. Nice, but nowhere near remarkable enough for the €230 price tag.

This fragrance opens with what i believed to be a sour pear. Not until i looked at the notes did i realize there was a lemon ingredient involved. Musk as smooth as cashmere envelopes the composition backed by floral violets and lilies. Definitely the kind of fragrance that you're able to pretty much smell all of the notes. Basically, this is a feminine fragrance as explained by the reviewer below; however, i feel very comfortable wearing this. Decent longevity(6hrs), not too ridiculous with the sillage but respectable. Not as predictable like most spring/summer perfumes, I give this fragrance a B+.

This is a rich smelling perfume, I like it a lot. A new brand to try for me and everything about it is interesting. I sense it as powdery, floral, spicy and fruity at the same time. It's a strong and long lasting scent. Very very nice, I am quite amazed by it. This is not just some everyday scent, it's a signature one! What I like the most about it, is violet leaf, very nicely done. Too expensive for me to even add to the favorites, but I keep it in mind. This perfume could be described as sexy in my opinion.

What a surprise. Right now I sprayed Jul et Mad Stilettos on Lex on the right hand and Thierry Mugler Pure Havane on the left hand. Stilettos on Lex smells expensive and rich. The character of this fragrance is almost rouge thanks to plum and heliotrope. There is also a freshness going on here. By the floral notes this fragrance becomes more feminine. It ́s a dandy fragrance for women. Similar to Gucci PH II.

I got a splash-sample and its a mild Pear-Violet-Musk-mix on my skin. A bit skinclose and a bit sweet. Very nice and I like it alot. Worth trying.

Smells like a powdery pear. Projects within an arm length.

I like this one, it is a Flower by Kenzo territory.

A delightfully girlish peachy powdery floral!

This fragrance triggered a very strong scent memory for me of woodland walks in the spring time - in the woods near where I live in the UK violet leaves and flowers start to bloom in spring, and that's exactly what this perfume reminds me of. The violet note is so prominent and true to life. I appreciate how realistic and fresh it smells, but I'm not sure it's something I would personally want to smell like. I have a sample and will see how I get on with it - I might change my mind after a proper wear!

It's fine. Somewhere deep down it reminds me of YSL Paris, probably owing to the balance of the pear with the slightly aquatic florals. Perhaps this is just that it's of a soft and subtle style, but Stilettos on Lex fails to hold my attention through a full wear (plus I feel I have to spray heavily). Still, I'd say that it smells very good and would suit someone who likes light and breezy-soft fragrances.

Very mature and elegant. My grandma would adore this type of scent. Powdery, sweet and great projection. Sadly not my cup of tea .
