How To Marry A Millionaire

This fragrance.. OMG! Gives me endorphins!! I expected zero, when purchasing it. I’m a huge Monroe -fan , always was, so I just thought I want this cute bottle in my collection. I didn’t even spritz it on my skin first, but used a piece of paper.. first sniff and I was transported to the beach, instantly. This literally smells like bronze, warm, yummy skin and sea salt. I honestly would vote this as the best celebrity fragrance! It doesn’t smell cheap. It’s not sugary. It doesn’t have a urine stench. It’s not cloying. It doesn’t smell like alcohol or hair product, instead this scent seems surprisingly complex and stays delicious for hours. Give it some time, though. I cannot believe why nobody ever talks about this little gem. If I had to make comparisons to other perfumes, I’d say it’s like a much lighter and -to me- more pleasant version of Paco Rabanne’s ‘Olympea’. If you hate the complete DNA of Olympea, I wouldn’t blind buy this one! But if you enjoy Olympea, but maybe think it’s a bit much, too sweet, too cloying, too mature.. then this baby is for you. This is summer, beach, salt water, sunshine, and bronze skin, all day long. I wouldn’t say it’s an aquatic smell, bc it’s a very warm scent. I only perceive gourmand (like caramelized sugar + vanilla) a bit of coconut and salt. I don’t smell florals at all. Also the juice is caramel brown NOT yellow as pictured in the photo.

I bought the 50ml bottle simply because I don't like the design, but it looks quite cute and inoffensive in the smaller size. I'm aware there are variations in the colour of the liquid from online reviews, with some having a fairly clear colour and others nearer to amber (possibly all go this colour as it darkens). Mine is the darker version. My first impression was that it was a bit overwhelming, it has a very strong ''seaside'' smell, like crushed seashells and even aquatic crustaceans. However, as this develops it is such a gorgeous and ''expensive'' scent. There is a strong aquatic salted vanilla composure that becomes more creamy & delicious as it dries down, with very well blended mandarin and perfectly light jasmine notes. I have not smelled Olympea but if that is, as people suggest, stronger than this then it would be too much for me. Despite its fairly signficant sillage, this still wears as a reasonably carefree beachy fragrance but is a little bit thicker and more ''dressed up'' than a daytime beachy scent. Think more early evening sunset in a light, evening summer dress strolling down the promenade of a glowing, warm, relaxed beach and you have this lovely perfume. Very distinctive and, to me, classy and different to my usual perfumes.

This is good! Basically, this is a common combination of orangeblossom, jasmine and ambra/vanilla, but the salinity gives it a great marine nuance that undoubtedly brings to mind some Olympea scents of Paco Rabanne. On my skin, that salinity is strong, even so that I taste it in my mouth. That salinity lasts on my skin just as long as the scent anyway. Admittedly, my skin chemistry loves salt notes! This has a great sillage and longevity is good. This is powerfull, I think this can even cause headaches or nausea for some. In previous reviews, someone said this performance is poor and I was left wondering if her juice was turned around? I notice about a half year after opening, mine has darkened, but at least I don’t notice a difference in the scent itself. Salty jasmin, just lovely.

This was a blind buy but I glad I did! In my opinion is a gorgeous comforting sent. Love at first spray! I don't care about the celebrity herself but the perfumes is what I like! Is a Long lasting perfume...reasonable silage.. I can sense the sea notes, green mandarin, jasmine and the salted vanilla. I have received a lot of compliments yesterday when I wore it again. I love this so much that I purchased another bottle ( my first bottle still a bit full). The dry down is even better by the way. Is more subtle soft smell as the first spray feels a bit strong but not bad at all. The bottle is even more prettier in real life, especially with those diamantés ( good for collection),. I well recommend this one!

I have this perfume and I LOVE it ! It's a dark brown color in my bottle and it smells great ! Perfumes with vanilla turn brown as the vanilla in them ages. That's completely normal. Color does not affect the scent at all but it does make the perfume last longer and feel richer. This perfume is exactly like Olympea by Paco Rabanne. When I wear this Millionaire perfume on one wrist, and Olympea on the other, nobody can tell the difference, ever. How To Marry a Millionaire lasts on my skin and on fabrics forever until I wash it off. It would make a terrific signature scent for a sexy, pretty female of any age. I'm so glad I bought the largest bottle ! Ordered backups, too ! It's a classic for sure !
