Hypnôse Senses

After reviewing the mixed responses on this scent I decided to toss my own hat into the ring. I love Hypnose Senses its one of my signatures. Im happy for the negative responses because it shows it isnt for everyone, I hate to be like everyone else! This must react well with my body chemistry. When I wear this perfume I feel empowered and sexy and am routinely complimented on my scent. I wear it when I run the floor in my department, I likr to thing that this is the lingering smell that identifies me when I leave the room. I can see similarities to Coco Mademmoiselle and Dior Miss Cherie, But to my nose there is something a little more exotic to it, not unlike the amber you find in Secret Obsession. if scents were a colour Dior and Coco are pink, obsesion is burnt orange and the hypnose is apricot, similar to the liquid within the lovely bottle. regarding the sillage, it lasts all day on me and the frangrance travels slightly from its beginning but stays recognizable from morning to evening.

This opens with a distinct weird plastic note. WTF is that? I was expecting citrusses and pepper. None of those exist to my nose. This smells like plastic candy... The kind of plastic I get is like a new kid's beach bag, those clear ones that are waterproof...I think it's the honey not meshing with things well. but.... This strange weird plastic note does dissapear after a few minutes and what emerges is a very cuddly, soft, cozy and innofensive floral perfume. It's romantic, think of eternity moment by CK. Think of a fuzzy musky boquet that's pink coloured. I love it! The fact that the base of this perfume contains patchouli and labdanum is confusing to me, this is not a resinous dark base...this is a puppy dog...cute..very feminine and comforting. I'm a fan! This has nothing to do with the original Hypnose, this is way more musky smelling!!! :)

Ooooo, this is lovely. I'm a floral gal and this is a slightly powdery 'warm' scent - I love it. This is everything I wished Chanel perfumes could be. There's no vanilla which is why I can wear this somewhat powdery, 'serious' perfume without any headaches. The opening and drydown are equally lovely. The opening is slightly pink peppery with a bit of tangy mandarin and honey. The dry down is slightly powdery patch, tonka, nice labdanum and osmanthus (I adore osmanthus). Kind of spicy, but not a true spicy scent. This works very well for the office as the sillage is average and the dry down becomes beautifully warm and full, yet understated. This is not an extraordinary perfume - there are many similar smelling ones out there - but I do love it. This is FBW once my 5ml sample is used up, especially when there's a good Lancome GWP.

I was about to get a new bottle of Magie Noir, when I tried this scent and had to have it. It is gorgeous with my chemistry - smelling like sweet flowers, fresh wood chips and honey .... mmmmmm honey .... My only complaint is that it doesn't last nearly long enough, but I will experiment with laying with the lotion I have, and the shower gel, and hopefully that will give me the extra time necessary to get through a day. I love this stuff!! I've been wearing it nonstop since I bought it, because I just love that sweet floral/honey/woodsy scent. It seems that this particular scent hasn't been well-received by many people - chypres can be a little odd, so please try before you buy, but don't let the negative reviews scare you off - remember, scents smell different on each of us, and it might be that you will love this also.

This was for me love at first sniff...I got a sample and I knew right the way that I need this fragrance urgently in my collection. I admit at first I was expecting something very close to the other Hypnose. They are not 100% different, you can find some similar notes in both like patchouli, benzoin and tonka. I love both fragrances, but I prefer Senses. Nevertheless, there are clear lines between the two, they suit to different seasons and occasions imo. Senses is feminine, sensual, sweet and alluring. Love the way honey, fresh fruits, oriental notes and roses blend. The main accords stand strong for more than 10 hours. I consider it a marvelous sweet honey-ish, ambery rosy fragrance that gives me positive state of mind every time I wear it. I strongly recommend it if you like warm oriental rose notes.
