Frenzy

May 2019 - So it comes up in my rotation again, and again, it's such a gorgeous scent. Unique, sophisticated, and fairly universally pleasing . . . not something you find easily these days. It's an amber scent for sure. That is what really holds the whole thing together. I am not getting any patch really. Some cassis leaf, perhaps, but the real star is the orange, the amber, and the florals. Particularly the ylang-ylang softens the masculine edge of this one to the point that it certainly can pull feminine. But I still think it's quite a unisex scent. To me, this is the olfactive epitome of champagne, Warm, bubbly, sparkly, light, and intoxicating. For those looking for a lovely and unique all-weather scent, I'd jump on this while it's still fairly affordable. I believe I managed to snag mine for $14.99 on the Perfumania clearance shelves. Now it's a couple of times higher than that on eBay. Do yourself a favor. Get this for summer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - March 2015 - I'm in love! When I was younger I loved to wear men's and unisex cologne because I loved that sexy clean smell. I sprayed this on and almost gasped at how beautiful it is. It was a clearance buy (not "blind," but only tested on paper) from Perfumania. Clearance? Seriously? What a shame. As previously mentioned, the drydown is NOT masculine, but it COULD be (if that makes sense). It's smooth and sweet (but not sugary) and has a sophistication that I adore. Someone mentioned that this is a winter fragrance, but I would tend to wear it in warmer weather because it is fresh, and because of the moderate silage. I would not blink if a man chose to wear this, but it has a delicate feeling that makes me think of lace and dressing room tables!

I actually got a smaller size of this one for free from Perfumania at the mall when I purchased Vince Camuto for me and YSL for the boyfriend. I think the woman had given it to me since I had said I loved woodsy/patchouli scents. I sprayed it once and put it down to never pick it up again. Meanwhile, over the next several months, I searched and searched for similar perfumes to Hollister's discontinued August (citrus, white floral, driftwood... I'm sure you can see the similarity here). I don't know what changed in me, but as of this morning, I love this scent now. To me, it smells like a more sophisticated version of Hollister's August. It almost pulls out that generic Hollister/Abercrombie smell and replaces it with a spicy, sophisticated warmth. I think I'll be grabbing a bigger bottle of this soon just to keep in on hand. For those who are searching for August, it seems like it might have not been so appealing to me before because I had tried it in the warmer months.. August had a woodsy/musky smell, but it also had coolness... like ocean water. Frenzy is definitely warmer, I don't think I can see it for summer/spring.

Special thanks to Conifer lover for the sample! :) I had smelled this before but forgotten how beautiful it was. Sadly, the department stores where I live no longer carry this gem. Frenzy is like a warm, cuddly sweater, but it also has some sex appeal. The top notes can be a little on the masculine side, but just let it settle. It becomes very feminine and wearable, but with good longevity and moderate sillage. On my skin, the patchouli and ylang ylang are very predominant. I've actually already ordered this online and I can't wait to get it. Very underrated perfume indeed!

Nicole Miller doesnt seem to disappoint. If you like darker, muskier scents (I do!) she doesn't seem to miss the point at all! I wouldn't say this is unisex as it is more on the floral side, but it has that earthy, musky scent I love in Nocole Miller. Definitely for the older, mature crowd - very sensual, warmer - the dry down is amazing, my wife and I have had some incredible moments together while she's wearing this...i just sit still like a little puppy at her command while she wears this, i'm not kidding Lol 10/10

Got it today from a fellow perfumes lover. It smells nothing I have smelled before. Is deep and volatile, playful, provocative and ceducing, inviting... I'm thrilled to explore it. Loving the way it is developing on my skin. My man says it smells like lavender and tobacco to him. I can't detect any of the listed ingredients. They're mixed in a genius way and leave me me breathless. Frenzy. That's it. The perfume lives up to its name. It's divine and poisonous, you'd almost wanna die in in its embrace.

I was lucky to receive a sample of this in a generous RAOK. I wore it for an hour or so then looked up the notes. I could detect gardenia, orange, cedar, possibly patchouli (which is a bit hit-and-miss with my chemistry) but....amber? Normally that's a nightmare on my skin turning sour and harsh, but not here. It's creamy, well blended and perfect for this cold autumn day. It's a shame it's so rare :"( I have tried to source some but it's all in the US and not able to be posted to the UK. Feeling sad!

Frenzy by Nicole Miller is exactly what I look for in a patchouli scent! The way the cedar blend with the patchouli makes this spicy instead of dirty. The orange adds a citrus freshness and the amber makes this deliciously sweet! I really like the smell of oranges and was looking for a fragrance with a spicy kick! I love Frenzy and the bottle is wicked cool!

This fragrance is a delectable blend of orange blossom, amber, gardenia, and ylang-ylang, with just the right touch of patchouli added in, and it all melds together so smoothly that you can't really detect a single note, but rather a rich smooth creamy blend that will fill your senses with delight. Moderate sillage, and longevity.

Gorgeous. Luxurious, deep and voluptuous. Very sensual and rich and sweet and earthy - divine.

just lovely; mainly amber with orange and patchouli and some ylang to add sweet and fruit

This is special ya'll! Dare I even say, one of the BEST quality fragrances of its low price point? I'm saying it! I got this because it was on clearance at Perfumania for $9.99 and I needed to spend another 5$ or more to use my huge coupon. So in my typical tendency toward impulsivity, I meandered over to clearance and without even asking to test it I said, "That's a pretty bottle! I will take that!" FATE. I tell you it was fate that this fragrance and I find one another so unplanned and effortlessly. I honestly had zero expectations for this fragrance. I wasn't sure if I would like it at all and was pleasantly surprised to find it quite lovely! Frenzy is a creamy, luxurious, classy, warm, and confident woman's fragrance. It smells so divine. It progresses in stages, revealing itself slowly and elegantly. It is earthy at times, a kick of spicy-ness, yet somehow also clean, rich and dark all at once. It sounds like a giant oxymoron, but it is VERY well executed. And that bottle is to die for! One of the prettiest I have seen actually. Especially at such a low price point. The bottle is heavy, thick glass with frosted "shoulders" and a golden Celtic knot-work design rests beautifully on the front. It looks like it could be $100+ bottle easily from a distance. Upclose you realize the cap is plastic and the knotwork on the front is also, but still pretty. If you have a Perfumania near you, or find this online, Check this beauty out! A underrated gem in my opinion. Some reviewers have mentioned a bit of a "masculinity" about this fragrance. I guess I could see that. The patch is super earthy and the freshness combined with that patch could possibly give that impression to some. I personally have been layering Frenzy with a 7$ oil called "Water Goddess" by Kuumba. It is SO good. It adds a very light, cosmetic type, feminine powdery element and amps up the creamy factor of frenzy. I highly, highly, highly recommend this combo. Just one quick swipe of the rollerball in each spot you intend to spray frenzy. The result is fantastic! I've gotten many compliments on the combo.

I don't usually wear fragrances like this one (as a rule I'm not keen on patchouli and ylang-ylang), and I didn't think I would like it, but I actually do. It's feminine, creamy, a tad exotic, definitely floral oriental. It's blended so well, that separate notes don't really stand out: the ones I detect for sure are patchouli and amber with something nicely green, probably a currant leaf. Frenzy projects well, and can be overpowering if sprayed more than one squirt. I would be wearing Frenzy in cold weather, otherwise it's too much in volume of sweetness and patchouli. The boozy note in Frenzy drydown is very similar to the Curacao note in Guess Marciano. Maybe this is why I like Frenzy!? UPD: No, not my scent after all. Something bothers me in Frenzy. Similar situation as with Alien - I like the scent but cannot wear it, something in it is just too annoying. Will be getting rid of the bottle.

This perfume is perfect for the fall, with it's orange and amber notes and unusual, almost unisex composition. Very powerful, one spray seems to be enough. It is warm and spicy, and just a little sweet. It strikes me as a more "mature" type scent, and not well suited to the workplace. It reminds me a bit of Queen Latifah, but this is much nicer. I am surprised this is not more popular, but I will admit it brings back a lot of memories of what perfumes used to be like in the 60's and it may seem dated to some people. Nevertheless, I am pleased with this blind buy and especially at the low price. 7/10

I cannot believe that this gem has gone unnoticed. I purchased this earlier this year from Saks. It was an impulse buy, but I dont regret it. I love this fragrance. When I smell the opening notes, I always think that this fragrance is just a stone's throw away from being a man's scent. Not that it matters, but that is my impression of it initially. Then after it dries down a bit it becomes a bit softer and more feminine. I really like it and it stays on my skin for a good 6 to 8 hours. That's impressive in itself!!

Just to edit my review, I wore this today and at least 10 or 12 sprays were needed to smell it just a little throughout the day. It may hold better on my clothes than on my skin. I enjoyed it, but honestly, this is no EDP, its more of a body spray- just like many or most scents in its price category. Nice enough, but probably would not repurchase due to poor quality.

Holy fruitchoulli! I was quite surprised to find that the drydown of this is very similar to Black XS for Men by Paco Rabanne. If PR ever releases a summer version of BXS then Nicole Miller Frenzy is a great prototype.

It ́s nice but unfortunetly sillage and longevity is weak ( at least on me). I smell amber with orange, some patchouli and littlebit gardenia. Luckly aldehydes are not existing on my skin. Not bad at all but I wouldn ́t call it extremaly wonderful. It ́s mild chypre, good for spring, autumn and not cold winter.

Is it a fragrance for men? I thought so when I sprayed this on my neck! It smells very respectable and regal! Like a spanish royalty prince. It smells very masculine and old. Even as it dries down! I dislike this and wouldn't wear it again.

I like it except the amber make the smell awful and old.
