TO BE The Queen

I tried this yesterday and I am very excited like I haven't been for a long time. After all those long months or searching, I have finally found a fragrance for summer. Ironically, outside it looks like fall right now. Now that doesn't mean this is a fragrances suited for summer. It could be more of a fall scent for someone. I'm just that kind of person that likes heavy fragrances. I always have a problem with finding summer fragrances because frankly, all those fragrances designed for summer are too boring for me. I'm looking for something fresh, but not plain, strong and classy but not too heavy, original and with very good staying power for more than 7 hours. That's exactly what TO BE Queen is. After the first spritz on my hand, it was so fresh it hit my nose. Unbeknown to what the actual notes are, I have thought it's something like peppermint and oranges. Turns out it's actually petitgrain, patchouli and oranges that hit me in the opening. After a couple of hours all the freshness became subtle and vanila started to play it's role. The kind of mild soothing vanila, not synthetic, in your face vanila. I cannot exactly tell what's the ending of this fragrance like, because I went to bed. That's how long it lasted - more than 7 hours. But I can assure you that nothing went wrong with it. Just the freshness disappeared completely and was replaced by mild woody notes with vanila still lingering. This is definitely a must buy for me. Some of you might not be impressed by TO BE Queen, but something like this that works with my chemistry (which is more suited for orientals and florals)is a keeper for me.

Very synthetic beginning to end, but in the best possible way. I do get the fruity dry pineapple note. I also do get the patchouli, though I have to say I find it by far not as strong as some other people. I own(ed) quite a few of Mugler fragrances, which albeit mesmerizing really relentlessly punch you in the back of your nose with concentrated patchouli from beginning to end. In comparison this one has just a few leaves for garnishing. Other than that it is quite powdery. Sweet, yes. But rather muted. If I had to describe what it smells like I'd say it's a freshly opened bag of marshmallows where somebody mixed in some chunks of dried pineapple and a few leaves of patchouli. The sweetness here is really much like that powdery dusting on marshmallow type candies. It does give me a nice scent bubble without being too loud. Longevity could be better - I get 3-5 hrs - but at the price I don't mind reapplying all that much. I have to say I was not instantly in love with this one. I found it pleasant from the start, yet a bit too synthetic. It took me a few months to really learn to appreciated. Now I really love it as a cozy uplifting day fragrance. Soft, feminine, a little playful. Also, my husband loves this on me. It never fails to get me a compliment from his side. Nevertheless, as it seems to be a little bit on the polarizing side, I'd only recommend a blind buy if you want the fragrance no matter what just for the bottle. Else try to test it first. Again, it's very very synthetic and thus potentially just not everybody's cup of tea.

I blind bought this scent, let it sit for a few weeks after some initial gasoline note I detected and after this time it is a total love for me. Somehow it occurred by skin projects pineapple like crazy, devouring all the other notes in fragrances. Given this, To Be The Queen is purely pineapple on me, definitely with no prominent patchouli, which just gives it some nuance/depth. It's natural smelling, very wearable, fresh and delicious on me, with remarkable longevity for the price - I guess my skin chemistry is in agreement with the juice and takes what's best in it. I'd say this is your spring/summer version of the Star by Mauboussin, if you're a pineapple lover. How I perceive it on my skin, I wouldn't agree it's for younger audience - fresh and sweet fruit is just genderless and ageless experience, especially for summer.

So much sharp, sweet, lovely pineapple! The citrus does indeed explode. It's very sweet, but saved from being cloying by the sharp, fresh fruits, I'm not usually a fan of patchouli--or indeed fruitchoulis, which this definitely is--but in To Be the Queen it all works, somehow, and for once I find the patchouli intoxicating. Maybe the violet and vanilla and musk ground it just right. I swear I could catch a hit of unlisted aniseed or basil, too. Surprisingly complex and multilayered, strong, long lasting, amazing. I am finding the To Be line consistently startling, not at all what I managed, and all kinds of wonderful.

I absolutely adore this perfume! The smell is like a perfect blend of vanilla and fruit with the pineapple being a stand-out note. It has instantly leapt to my favourite daytime perfume spot and is such a cheap price for such an amazing perfume. It seems to last for hour on me too which is brilliant! The only downside I've found is that the bottle has a very plastic feel which is a shame but for that scent it could've come out of a water bottle for all I care! Seriously 10/10!

I had never bought from this brand before, but the bottle was super cute, the price was super low, and the notes looked like something I would wear or at the very least layer. I was so surprised at how much I actually liked this. I get so many compliments from both men and women. The women want to wear it and the men want to wear ME! A few sprays last all day!

Oh my god! This is one real beauty! Sweet, strong, very fruity, but finds the perfect balance between the vanille note and the fruits. Kinda strong one on me, so after a day of wearing TO BE Queen, I can easily say that the sillage and the longetivity are amazing! Only two sprays last 12 hours, and it's not even gone yet! Wow, I LOVE it!!!

My daughter has and wears this fragrance, we bought it together from DM I love it on her... It's warm, cosy and flirty For a 12 year-old is perfect Longevity on her is more than 12 hours on clothes (although I think she spritzed once or twice on hair, too); sillage more than great

I only got this 💀 👑 to be a queen 🤍white skull,along with to be a king black 🖤 skull to display against each other on my dresser as a theme&decor,so I didn't really care how it smelled, However this smells better to me less masculine than to be a king, this smells like a fresh uplifting mango with background woodsy notes,even though mango is not a note,it's a fresh good smelling mango to me&my chemistry,not bad okay for casual scent fruity freshie,harmless &more for a casual day,more of a skin scent ,lasts 3-6hrs on skin longer on clothing,at price that's okay&love my new decor,haha,but it's not bad. I'm happy I don't get 🍍 &that the fruits other notes just made it a mango paradise for me♡great for cheapie. UPDATE◇After owning this awhile it now has a nasty metal smell?¿? Anyway thought I'd update,got for the bottle,so no loss.°•°•☆•°•°

There was one very popular fragrance when I was in my very early 20s. I go out there it is, I go to shop there it is, university there it is...but I didn't know the name. Now I know...10y too late 😂 I liked it then (it was somehow cozy and familiar) and now I like it because it reminds me of that great time of my life. It's fruity, sweet (but not too sweet) and light. Ideal for day and all seasons. I wouldn't recommend it to 35+ woman because it's scream youth and madness. If you are looking for a great present for your daughter (not too young daughter) this is perfect.

I wasn't at all impressed when I bought it, even after several tries. I have no idea what happened, but when I gave it one last go six months later I loved it! Pineapple is one of my favorite notes and I'm a patch lover as well. This isn't very sweet, something I adore. Will certainly buy a bigger bottle! Update: sorry Police, but after venturing into niche territory I am back to not reaching for this anymore. If you like TO BE and love pineapple as much as I do I would highly recommend you to try 1804 by Hdp!

Aloha!! Pineapple overload to begin with... Lots of Citrus and Petitgrain that adds a sharp edge note of peel and green orange blossom leaves. Peach Brandy for sweetness and a hint of cough syrup, that must be the Red Berries. As it warms up there are rising notes of powdery Violet and sensual Patchouli. Finishing notes of Cedar, Vanilla and Musk, round this fragrance off perfectly. Fantastic. delicious and totally wearable.

I'm changing my mind on this one. At first I didn't like it but now it's really grown on me. I'm getting mostly patchouli with tropical fruits but it's definitely more on the sweet/synthetic end which would probably still stop me from wearing a lot of it, but the scent itself is actually a lot nicer than I remember. I'd also like to add that for its price, the atomiser on this thing is amazing quality.

Blind buy. I really just wanted the bottle for my vanity. I slapped some thick gothy eyeliner on today, and needed something dark and serious to wear with it, but not as dark as L’agent. This was perfect. Spicy, citrusy, darkness. Summery, but with a bite. It’s a touch masculine, but the citrus brightens it up. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about wearing this all day, but I love it.

Pineapple and patchouli bomb for sure. It opens up with some fresh fruity scent and turns into a dry, artificial pineapple scent mixed with tons of patchouli and a lil bit of powdery scent. But hey, it last for good 6-7 hours on me! If you're not a big fan of patchouli, better to stay away from this one. Will I repurchase this one? No, I like To Be Exotic Jungle better than this one.

So I'll admit that i bought this for the bottle. (At £10 for a bottle, it was a good blind buy.) It was in clearance at Superdrug last winter, so I bought 2; one as a Secret Santa present for a skull-loving colleague at work! She loved it. It's pretty sweet and fruity, like sweets at halloween... a bit of fun for the dressing table. It can't always be serious perfumes, after all.

Bubbly, plastic-y (synthetic) patchouli. Initial spray is a floral blast to my nose but calms down within moments to a nice unisex spicy-sweet patchouli. Again, plastic-y/synthetic, but I quite like this. This is a scent I will gravitate towards more during summer months. EDIT: the late drydown is reminiscent of powdery cosmetics/lipstick

I find this deep, warm, musky and cedary (I know it's not a word but you know what I mean) on me. I completely understand why people find this masculine. Having said that, that's not an issue at all for me - I love it. On my skin I find it reminiscent of Womanity. If your after a light sweet fruity scent , this is not it.

Do not hate in first smell!! I hated this perfume even tho i like angel but i let it rest and smelled it after a month. It smells a lot like angel now. (if you dont like patchouli of course you wont like it) I reccomend this very cold winter days but its not blind buy safe definetly.

I'm really tempted to get this. I love the orange and pineapple with the powdery-ness at the bottom. Five minutes in, and it does smell a little male or at least unisex to me. I wish the tang of the fruit lasted a little longer. In terms of value it's a gorgeous smell for the price.
