Fairy Dust

I think people are just so ridiculously snobby when it comes to what name is on the outside of a perfume box. Who freakin' cares! Me personally, if it smells good, I like it. It's not like the celebrity/designer who made it personally put their DNA into every bottle and it's going to contaminate you. It's not like she sat down and mixed every bottle. A perfumer made it, she ok'd it, and she and the perfumer/perfume house share the profits of the sales. I know all of the bad reviews on this fragrance are most likely simply because it's a Paris Hilton fragrance. Slap a Chanel label on the same stuff and half of you would be crooning about how marvelous it is. That being said, I think this smells great. I am a Fruity Floral, Oriental Vanilla, and Gourmand kind of girl. I have ventured outside of those olfactory groups from time to time(I have tried straight florals and aquatics),only to be terrified and running back home to the sweeter things. This is a very pleasant, and non offensive everyday type of fragrance. I'm not really good at picking out individual notes, but to me this smells like sugared sweet roses, which is right up my alley. At work I sit at the desk in the front office that everyone has to walk into to enter the building. All day people kept walking in and exclaiming "oh wow, it smells so good in here!". I told one lady it was Paris Hilton and I saw her kind of give that look like "ew, really?", but she said "well it smells amazing!". Case in point right there. The lasting power is amazing, and the price is unbeatable. I do admit that the packaging and bottle were a little bit of a letdowm. A perfume so sweet smelling should have had a more elaborate and less cheap looking bottle. The etched fairy on the front is just tacky. But again, it's the juice you'll be wearing, not the bottle or the designer. People should have more of an open mind about fragrances. You may be missing out on something you may really enjoy because you're so preoccupied with whose name is on the label. Who cares if it's a celebrity fragrance, or a "drustore" fragrance, or "cheap" or whatever?! On my dresser, I have everything from Revlon's Fire and Ice to Creed's Love In Black. Realize that when fragrances are expensive, it is not neccesarily because you are getting a more quality product. You are just paying for packaging and advertising for a big name. Stop being a snob, cause you're missing out, people!If it smells good, wear it!

I still have no idea why everyone hates this so much! I own all of Paris Hilton's perfumes, and I dearly love her since meeting her back in 2008 showed me how sweet and human she is. I find her fragrances to be incredibly top-notch since they provide complex, unique arrangements of notes for fabulous prices. Aside from Dazzle, you could probably find a 3.4oz of any of her fragrances for less than $30. Fairy Dust is one of those fragrances I bought for the collection, but I always forget about it when I"m choosing a fragrance to wear...today was a very warm, humid, rainy day where I live, and after getting drenched in a thunder-storm, I needed to reapply to enjoy a nice, cozy evening at home. For some reason, I reached for Fairy Dust and doused myself with it since I have such a huge, unused bottle...and wow, I really don't know how I could forget about this one! Everyone screams about how generic it is, but I really don't see how this could be considered "generic" since everything out these days smells like chocolate, lollipops, and cotton candy. This isn't just a white floral...there's something a bit deeper under there that makes this truly beautiful. Don't get me wrong, gardenia is truly the queen of this fragrance, dominating it from start to finish..but the musk and the patchouli creates this beautiful, powdery sheen to the gardenia. My favorite aspect of this fragrance is how the peach really makes this sparkling and fairy-esque, by giving a slight, juicy tinge to it that strikes the nose every now and then, which is reminiscent of high-end nail-polish to me. This is a beautiful, underrated perfume, and it's a shame to see so much hate for it. You have to take it for what it's worth. Paris isn't known for producing masterpieces, so why is everyone holding her line to that standard? Appreciate this fragrance for what it is: A fresh, powdery, fizzy, sparkling gardenia perfume that lasts three to five hours with mid-length sillage.

This perfume smells identical to Juicy's Juicy Couture for Women perfume. I used to wear the juicy one a few years back but had run out and didn't feel like spending another $45 dollars on a small bottle. I wanted to try one of paris' scents and decided on fairy dust because of the advertisement commercial that I found on youtube. It was a complete blind buy and one that I am so happy with! I was so surprised when I first sprayed some out and smelled such a familiar scent. If you love the original Juicy Couture scent than you will absolutely love this one. The only noticeable difference to me is that this scent seems a little bit boozy or alcoholic initially although that part of it blends in quickly with the rest of the notes. If you don't want to spend the money on the Juicy one or want to try it before investing more money into the Juicy fragrance definitely try this one. The bottle is kind of eh to me. While I like the blue sprayer and the clear top that covers the bottle I do not really like the bottle itself. If the fairy wouldn't have been printed onto the bottle it would have been like one of the vintage bottles that women displayed on their vanities back in the day. The addition of the fairy imprint makes the bottle seem sort of weird to me though because it is not really playfully designed so it just seems out of place. The bottle is too serious for the fairy image and not playful enough for the theme of the fragrance in my opinion. It isn't a big deal though and is cute enough for me to want to display. Overall I love this perfume especially considering the price point and how unique it is considering it is a celebrity fragrance. Definitely worth a smell at the least, 5/5 for me.

Although I am surprised that more people have not given Fairy Dust thumbs up, I completely understand why some people dislike it. I have found that Fairy Dust can act as a chamelion on my skin. At times I get choked out by thestrongly everesscent opening that reacts like aldehydes on steroids, but I think is only how the bubbly Processo accord reacts.Speaking of which: What happened the Processo on the breakdown of notes?? That part clears fairly quickly, and what remains is the sweet tartness that reminds me of those sweet wine coolers that were so big back when I became of age. I didn't like being reminded constantly of being 19 again spilling wine coolers on my concert t-shirt on a booze cruize in Boston Harbour. This scent plays your senses, at once smelling strongly chemical, while other times developing very beautifully. When that happens, the flowers take front center stage. Those are the times the fragrance smells fresh and summery and comforting. This is because thankfully, I don't get that musk an patchouli listed above...can't stand either!!! I would give Fairy Dust a 3 out of 5. It is ahead of some of the big ticket department store offerings (That's you, Chloe Love Story, you chemical bomb). It's that Paris Hilton did not market it to those who understand just because it is an aldehydic floral-does not make it "old-lady"

I am most proud to say that this has been in my collection for years! It is one of my grab-n-go’s . I have been through several bottles, so I rack up on them when I see them being sold. This smells just like the Original Juicy Couture scent for women. So, if you are looking for an inexpensive DUP of that scent (Juicy Couture, Juicy Couture), then Fairy Dust is for you! Weirdly, every time I visit our local gas station to get gas, I am complimented from wearing this scent from both GUYS and GIRLS. Some look shock when I tell them what the scent is; others are getting out their phones looking it up to buy. LOL funny. This can be classified as a mature scent, however, anyone can pull it off in my opinion! I wear both men and women scents. It depends on your body’s chemistry what you will get from this magical elixir. Tuberose, Creamy Vanilla, & Clean Linen is what I get from this one, and its last a long time on me. I suggest, chunking out the notion that this is an “old lady” scent and dare to be different. All fragrance adjusts to your natural body scent. If it makes you happy, wear it! Who knows, you may discover and new favorite in this one. After all, fairies are full of magic and wonder.

I put that this reminds me of Gale Hayman Delicious Beverly Hills. It might seem totally like no at first but I just received both these perfumes today and realized they both have a similar thing about them did a comparison and I'm pretty sure what I'm smelling is the Gardenia and Patchouli because that's the only notes they have it common. but very significantly. Differences I sense is that Fairy Dust has strong musk (which I feel is a tiny bit tooo strong) and that peach note which is absolutely delightful, I wish it were stronger. I also wish the vanilla was a bit stronger too. I suppose one could layer this with a plain vanilla or peach fragrance;body spray, lotion or something..... Fairy Dust is a Brittney Spears type of perfume. I call it the "hott sexy fun party girl smell". Perhaps one step below Victoria's Secret perfumes. I am glad that the fruit in this is peach. i really like that. I just got this perfume today so I need more bonding time with this. i will update it when able. :)

I really don't understand why Fairy Dust isn't loved by more perfume fans. The formula really isn't bad, No cat pee or other kinds of pussy cat odors. Paris Hilton's name is on it is all that needs to happen to turn many noses. Fairy Dust is strictly a summertime scent. The Processo is bright and sparkles and next the peony blooms. The florals are true. They smell like the first party of the season getting underway at your beachouse on Cape Cod. The warm sunny breeze mingles the scent of sparkling punch with the flowers blooming on your back deck. All of a sudden, lotus fills the air. I dream of finally traveling to Cambodia. Last summer experimented layering it with Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, and I created the scent of paradise.. A compliment magnet. As with any fragrance with less than long-lasting longevity, I wish a few spritzes would last all day. Sexy, giddy and youthful!

The first time I put it on my skin was three years ago when I went on vacation. I just loved it, and my mom (that barely never likes a fragrance) loved it too! The bottle doesn't matter, what's important is the content of it, it's like a book (btw I love reading) I don't judge it by its front, I judge it till I read it... Personally, I carried a Britney Spears perfume in my suitcase, but I decided to buy "Fairy dust" because it really suited on me and everyone around me liked the scent. And it surely has a lasting power! I put it on me during the night, and in the plane you could still smell it, and when I arrived to the airport, there was the scent! (8 hours trip) Beach plus a nice aroma = Amazing vacations :) I truly recommend you all to go to a store to first smell it, there are many people who dislike it, but, there are a few (including me) who love it.

I do not look at celeb perfumes as inferior, and as a result of that mind set I have quite a few of them in my wardrobe. I bought Fairy Dust from fragrance.net for less than ten dollars. I was hoping for something wearable, but I had minimal expectations. I sprayed it and realized that I actually liked it a lot more than I anticipated. Maybe it is because it has that "old lady" vibe to it that others mentioned in their reviews. I do not know nor do I particularly care if it old ladyish or teenagers-ish. I find it quite nice, cozy and wearable. The sillage is moderate and it last for at least four hours on my skin, and for ten bucks that is fairly remarkable. For me the floral notes are well blended with the patchouli and it has a loud opening but a smooth and quiter dry down. I may not buy a back up bottle but I will definitely enjoy this one. .

Warm, bubbly peach wine and vanilla- yum! I truly love this now but that wasn't the case initially. Peach-patchouli-musk unexpectedly dominated and I found it far too heavy. After having been sprayed several times, it's as if the remaining liquid woke up, fresh and lighter. I find the the overall scent to be so comforting. It may be reminiscent of Juicy but it is not the same. I have both and prefer Fairy Dust. Loving the dessert-wine quality! *This is now nearly straight vanilla on me. Deep vanilla with peach slices, a touch of faint flowers and soft musk add nuance.. I can't help but love that. It's not for everyone (what is?) but when it works, it works, and it is beautiful. I laugh at the comments saying this is a grandma perfume. :) I will be one great smelling grandma! ♥ *Now springtime, the dry down on my skin is gardenia and vanilla.

I don’t understand the amount of negativity on this Fragrance! I think it’s because it’s by Paris Hilton but as someone said before; if this was a designer Fragrance there wouldn’t be so much backlash on it. It is a PERFECT dupee for Juicy Couture for Women, the only difference is that Fairy Dust dries down more musky as opposed to a more sweet caramel like Juicy Couture. This was a blind buy for me and I am so impressed by it! I don’t have to spend $70 on a bottle of Juicy Couture when something so similar is only $8 with literally the exact same smell and Sillage. Though I will always buy Juicy Couture because I enjoy prestige and quality, I can easily go to Paris Hilton’s if I can not afford the other! GREAT BUY! would recommend for someone ages 25-45 years!

I got this as a gift many years ago and hated it at first. Then I grew to really appreciate its sophistication. It’s a classy scent, kind of mature a night perfume that can be worn year round I think, but especially a spring or summer perfume. I, being typically into sweeter perfumes and in my early 20’s, appreciated this perfume which really has an old school vibe. I wish I could find my bottle. I would rebuy a small bottle of this as it’s a classy scent for the price. Edit: I found my bottle along with several other perfumes I was missing. It is very harsh at first spray, then develops into a lovely sophisticated floral. So glad I found this. I also smell peach in the mix.

The scent is very special two me it does somthing for my stress. It has the power to relax me ..before i even new that sleeping in perfume was something other people did. i started two with this fragrance. it can be over sprayed i say around 4 or 5 is good for me even less depending on how i feel. It lasts very well on me and has a good non overpowering sillage.. I dont like to use it all the time just randomly here and there but i do love this stuff very much. I have all of paris scents this osnt my favorite Tease is ...but this white floral oarnge blossom scent is very good id it was made by a fashion house i could see this being like the new younger Chanel no5

I love all the references to "old lady" in these reviews. I guess everyone has their own idea of what constitutes an old lady perfume. To me, I'd say something like Chanel No. 5 or Emeraud screams "old lady". This perfume, Fairy Dust, reminds me of being in my 20s (I'm turning 40 this year). With my chemistry, the smell is quite peppery and deep, and it lasts all day. I would definitely call it sexy and ... well, not necessarily mature... but old the enough-to-know-better, kind of mature. It smells the best in the middle of summer. Deep and syrupy and delicious. I will wear this one for the next 20 years if I can.

This was a blind buy for me. It was down to $5 a bottle and I can't resist a bargain. I am not a fan of Paris Hilton and never bothered testing her fragrances and of course, when this was on special there were no testers to be found. I was initially disappointed, as on first spray all I could smell was fly spray! Within a short time however this fragrance settled down to a mature white floral that I am really enjoying. Completely unexpected, I guess I thought, 'celeb scent, therefore sweet and sugary'. How wrong I was. Longevity and sillage seem pretty good and I will stock up before I can no longer find it again.

This is not Fairy Dust... Smells nothing like what I imagine Fairy Dust to smell like. This is Fairy Farts... If Tinkerbell lived on a diet of Gardenias this is what she would smell like. This would have to be my favourite Gardenia fragrance, it is gentle, a little bit shy but it is all Gardenia with the added sweetness of Peony. Only lasts on the skin about 3 hours (I can still smell it on my clothes the next day though), the scent stays a true gardenia, this is no fading flower. Absolutely Gorgeous, I am surprised by Paris Hilton's taste, she comes off as a pink girly girl but this is all woman.

Not to sound too much of a cynic, but I hate this perfume and everything about it. I think I'm going to chalk it up to bad chemistry with my skin or my dislike for certain notes because if everyone smelt it the way I do, noone would ever buy it and it would be used to scent glad trashbags. Too far? Maybe. The gardenia is cloying and obtrusive. My nose is trying to recover and I can't seem to find any patchouli or basically anything not found in Windex. Sorry Paris, I don't think fragrance is your thing. Maybe stick to your reality show "Paris Hiltons Next BFF", oh wait I hate that too.

I love this perfume. It was a blind buy. No sample bottle in the shop. I've resisted buying Paris Hilton frags but the name Fairy Dust intrigued me. What a wonderful surprise when I sprayed it on. A beautiful burst of orange blossom yes strong and sweet but it settles very quickly to gardenia. I love anything gardenia. It reminds me of hot heady nights. I was definitely sold. The patchouli is gentle. This is a fantastic buy to add to my frag collection. Who knows I might even buy another Paris Hilton frag. I have read good things about Siren. Any thoughts from anyone?

This is probably my all time favorite fragrance. It so pretty, delicate, and feminine. The gardenia speaks to my inner Southern Belle. The other notes play 'supporting character' roles to the gardenia star, and for a minute you might be swept away to an evening walk in a southern estate garden. That being said, this scent is not for everyone and just like any perfume it smells different on every body. My only complaint is the bottle design, and that is simply horrible. But I do hope you will see past that and give Fairy Dust a try.

I love this....and I mean LOVE! Take that Luca Turin! He gave this 1 star and a humorous 'fruity terror' label. Haha! It's the lotus. The lotus is why I love Britney's Curious (another Turin 1 star fragrance!) so much also. It rises above any other note on my skin which is perhaps why this one is not 'grannyish' on me (gosh that's a term I dislike on these reviews) It transcends the gardenia, it's still there but is a creamy background note. Fruit syrupy lotus, unashamedly cheap and cheerful. I'm here for it.
