Paris Hilton

I wanted this fragrance for over 2 years now, however, the reviews here and on other sites really confused me, to say the least. Therefore, I decided to do my own little review here, since so many people are having opposing views on this fragrance. I have bought Paris Hilton fragrances for over 4 years now and I have always been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the products. As a Paris fan, I have no problem paying the cash for her products and I don't hide them as if they're guilty pleasures that I should be ashamed of. I ordered the gift set, which contains the 100ml perfume, the body lotion, shower gel and a little travel size bottle WITHOUT KNOWING HOW THE PERFUME SMELLS. Yes, crazy, right? Anyway, let's move on to the actual juice. The first spray was... odd, in the best way possible. I did not expect that. You do not expect this scent in such an early 2000s, pink bottle with black stripes. This is NOT a pink scent. If you want a pink scent, go buy Aquolina Pink Sugar or something. The first impression was definitely fruity-floral. A lot of apple mixed with a swift blend of white florals. As the fragrance developed on my skin, I could feel the aquatic, ozonic notes. They remind me of days spent on the beach, in the sun OR childhood days spent outside, in the garden. There is definitely a green feeling to the fragrance as well, and the base kind of comes through the top a little, as a sort of woody vibe. I adore musk but I don't smell it at all in this fragrance. Another important aspect is that this fragrance gave me a funny feeling in my stomach, like butterflies. We all know that Paris said she put pheromones in this one, so who knows, it might or might not be true. It comes across as a very easy-going, confident, aerial and addictive scent. The whole Paris Hilton brand is built upon having fun and not taking yourself so seriously, so if you can relate to the core attributes that I listed, you are good to go. Buy it and you won't regret it one second. As for longevity, it sits very well on top of a cream, so make sure to moisturize your neck and wrists before applying the perfume, as it is quite light and can fade away pretty quickly. I also enjoy spraying it in my wardrobe, I find it gives my clothes a very pleasant, almost soapy scent. All in all, this is fantastic for spring and summer, for a person who loves to have fun and who wants to smell sexy yet sophisticated.

I never watched anything to do with Paris and can't say I care for her, but I applaud her for venturing into her own fragrance line. Her perfumes featured in several articles hailing some of the best celebrity frags, so of course, I jumped at the opportunity to try them. I blind-bought Paris Hilton, With Love, and Heiress based on notes and reviews and have no regrets. I especially love PH and Heiress. My first Paris perfume was Siren and I gave it away because it smelled like something else I owned. While PH isn't ground-breaking or unique, it's such a beautiful, fun, sheer, and fruity floral that doesn't smell like anything else I own. It smells exactly as you would expect it to-- pink, girly, fruity, juicy, and sweet. PH has great projection and longevity. It stayed on my skin for most of the day and remains consistent on clothing throughout the day. The melon, peach, and apple are dominant in the opening. The peach and apple notes are prominent even past the dry-down. What I absolutely love is that none of the fruits, especially the peach, smell synthetic. I've not had the best experience with peach notes, which always smell cheap and synthetic in other frags I own. This is not the case with PH. All the notes are well blended and balanced. I love the middle notes (heart of the frag) because they balance out the strong opening fruits and stop this scent from becoming a cloying sugar bomb. That being said, I don't care for the dry-down. I love the sandalwood note but can barely smell it. What I get is more of the dominant musk, a note I can only tolerate in small doses. My hubby loves this frag on me. But because of its musky, woodsy dry-down, I don't see myself using it directly on my skin in hot weather. I think it will become screechy when combined with fruity florals. I'll mostly use it on clothing this summer and will see how it performs on my skin during cooler months. I'm pleasantly surprised by, and love this fragrance, and can see myself repurchasing it.

I just bought this for cheapsies because I've smelled it years (a decade or longer ago) and thought it was a darn good shampoo sort of fragrance at the time, and I'm pleased to say my memory of it was spot on. Because it is. It really freaking is. Millennials are cool, because we grew up with a lot of this sort of thing, and the DNA here is both memorable and iconic. I truly believe that these sort of fragrances will make a comeback in 10 or 15 years, although currently they're probably considered dated. Which works for me, I enjoy being an outlier, and I don't smell this sort of thing in public often anymore (but also, I don't smell much in public anyway where I live). This opens so freshly as you'd expect from the notes, but it stays that way. I really don't get as much melon as apple, but there's something sweetly citrusy too that isn't listed. It's a fruit bomb, but a crisp one with enough balance. It's not *calone* dominant at all, so if you dislike that 90s style fruit scent you might still enjoy this. Don't let "melon" as a note deter you from trying this. I've smelled Pretty as a Peach from B&BW a lot lately because my daughter is hooked on it, and I immediately smelled a similar peach note in here. It's again, crisp, and not the canned cocktail peach that often is included in modern perfumes. It's not a dry dusty peach either (like Tresor), it's somewhat tart. This is laundryish, and has a super clean drydown. The florals and ultra-white linen musk smells like dryer-fresh clothing. Even though the bottle is pink, this smells very light green to my nose. The combo of fresh apple, spring florals and musk isn't *pink* at all. I include this in an elite group of freshies that I've loved over the years, including Tommy Girl and CK Be. This has everything you need if you want to smell incredibly clean, and the lasting power is really notable for this class of perfumes. In fact, it didn't die outside in the cold damp air, which I thought was admirable.

Do not ignore this scent just because it’s Paris Hilton! This scent brings back so many memories from my teen years, back when I was a young gay, confused about sexuality, still dating girls, this was the scent my girlfriend wore, and she was an absolute doll. It’s so quintessentially mid 2000s, it literally feels like those years have just been bottled for us to enjoy forever. Walking through my local chemist and seeing this on sale for $20 I could not resist snapping it up, and it was just as lovely as I remember. It’s so sweet, so intoxicatingly sweet, and talk about a good performer, I sprayed this on when I went to bed and in the shower the next morning it was still lingering around me. It’s a power frag for the ages if you ask me. Paris is a bona-fide megastar when it comes to the fragrance world, she’s got how many fragrances now? Almost 40 or something, you don’t get to have that many fragrances if you’re not producing quality products, and this is quality juice. Obviously it is indeed for women, and it’s very feminine, but damn I’m gonna wear this at home and to bed and I’m going to enjoy the hell out of it. YAASSS KWEEN! That’s hot.

Pale-Green Fruity Vibe with Dusty, Floral-Woody-Musk Undertones... This gets a lot nicer as it's drying down. Before the spray dries it's sort of chaotic, but within a minute or two I'm into the opening of melon, apple & peach but already the freesia, mimosa & oakmoss are swelling through a little. The fruits in the top notes are a nice blend - not too sweet, and read like pale green fruit and something close to pear, although at times I can pick out all three distinctly. As it transitions to the heart, I get mostly freesia & mimosa but the other florals are there. Lily helps to continue the fruity facets, while tuberose brings a faint pwdery, green-banana note. The base notes are supporting players, and help to continue the pale-green fruit vibe with dusty, floral-woody-musk undertones. After awhile there is also a faint shampoo vibe in the background. To be honest, I did not love the starting minutes, but the drydown has grown on me considerably. This has been compared to Ralph Ralph Lauren, but in the drydown I also get reminders of Dolce Dolce & Gabbana (original) and Curious Britney Spears. This has won me over. Enjoy!
