Signature For Her Parfum

When I first encountered this perfume, I twitched my nose a little, it seemed to me a strange, invasive and repulsive mixture of biting, sharp notes of soapy lavender, white flowers and powdery iris. The whole place smelled of some kind of detergent and laundry (both freshly washed and unwashed clothes). I understand what's going on with this washing powder. After subsequent tests, I began to appreciate the composition and the different phases that take place in it more, because it is a quite variable scent and therefore interesting, and, as it turned out, nice. The beginning is a spicy mix of pink pepper, tart-sweet rhubarb and cologne citrus. Aromatic, but raw and slightly masculine lavender quickly comes into play, accompanied by powdery iris. Signature is slightly spread out, the composition is very androgynous at this stage - feminine powdery iris and a more masculine lavender intertwine. Then come the white flowers, especially tuberose, which is loud, dominant and characterful. You have to like this flower to appreciate the white floral accord in this composition. In the Signature base, it visibly softens and sweetens. Tonka and sandalwood give the composition a much sweeter and creamier character, and amber introduces a lot of warmth. The ending, in which, together with the base ingredients, we can still feel a bit of white floral with a slight iris powderiness, is more feminine. I would describe the whole thing as unisex, slightly leaning towards the feminine side. However, I think a man can wear it successfully too. And if a woman, she is rather a strong woman with a strong character who likes slightly masculine accessories in her perfumes. The parameters are excellent, which is not often the case with Oriflame perfumes. The durability is all day long and the projection is very expressive. Over-application can be overwhelming. Visually, the bottle enclosed in a wooden frame looks very attractive and interesting, but impractical. It's better to take it off, you can probably use it as a photo frame, but I don't really see any use for it here due to its dimensions. A bit of an unnecessary gadget. The women's Signature is much more successful than the men's version, which is nothing more than a variation on the already hackneyed Aventus-style creations. 7/10

I have never bought a cosmetics or perfumery from the catalog brand. A bit of snobbery, I know. I love sweetly Burberry Brit Rhythm, which I didn’t understand initially and then understood. It is heartbreaking that it is harder and harder to find, so naturally I started looking into perfumes of the same type: clean, powdery and fougere, preferably with iris-lavender combo. So I found Signature for Her, immediately purchased. I dislike catalogs because it is not just a simple purchase, when buying happens inside the store. Consultants will not come to your home and ask you to try this perfume a little bit harder. To purchase from the catalog, you need to know somebody who is doing it. And it you know the person, it is very likely they will approach you again.. and what if you are really interested in only one item and that it is? Thank god, now we can use second hand retailing. Side by side comparison, Rhythm is dominating my senses. It is sweeter, stronger and lavender note is more prominent. But on its own, Signature has a great sillage. Its in the same vein as Rhythm, it is drier and dustier, almost salty at the opening. I would like more iris and powder in the heart, but well. Dry, cold, floral. The fragrance is long lasting and diffusive. Absolutely worth its price. I could see it on the shelf, because it is definitely more unique than army of current lux frags.

This is a surprisingly good one from Oriflame, no wonder if Olivier Cresp ( and his son) had something to do with it :) It is well balanced, has a timeless and ageless elegance, without becoming overwhelming or suffocating. I love the lavender - orris combo, and for my personal taste a bit more rhubarb tartness and a bit less tuberose (indeed, we see it everywhere and if it is stronger, it causes me headache, so it is a note I usually avoid). Interesting smell, it has something of almost motherly warmth and balance. I am not sure if this would suit me, but maybe I will consider buying a whole bottle later. Sillage and longevity are good too. Worth the price.

Bought a sample of this. Unfortunately I find it smells like a man. Cant understand that this perfume is made for women. Fresh citrussy opening but with a masculine drydown with lavender among other notes. Wont buy a full bottle of this even though the bottle design is stylish and unique.

I really like the design of this bottle, but the lid just looks so wrong. A mushroom, coolie shade rounded shape would have looked much more appealing (for me). Notes don't sound too bad, though at this point I'm really getting tired of seeing tuberose EVERYWHERE. Like the fruitchouli/patchouli laden fragrance days all over again. It's such a shame there must always be the dominant trends.
