Queen of Hearts

I own and like queen latifah's queen,the red one and I find it warm,boozy,classy and cozy.unbelievable quality for it's price.I didn't know what to think about queen of hearts by it's notes.incense,patchouli and spices aren't among my usual favorites and it's almost nowhere in my country,when I found a 3.4 oz for 27$ I couldn't let it go and now I'm here with another great job from queen latifah Queen of hearts is exactly what I expected and wished belle d opium to be.it's all about cinnamon grounded by smokey patchouli,spicy amber and vanilla.it's so well blended that non of the notes shadow the others.spices are grounded so there's nothing sharp here and it's warm and sweet balsamic base,prevents smoke and spices to make it manly..it's mature and complex and has a personality but it's also soft,inviting and pleasant.to be honest it's nothing you'd expect from a celebrity perfume or a cheapy.I find both queen latifah's perfumes more complex,unique and expensive smelling than 80% of more expensive ones from high end brands It's the first day of me with this perfume so I can't talk about it's lasting power or people's comments about it,I just know that I like it and it worthes much more than it's price Edit: Stays for 5-6 hours on my skin and alot more on clothes.sillage is more than moderate,almost huge at first but it gradually reduces to moderate,all in all projection is acceptable,better than lot of expensive perfumes and it IS a compliment getter mostly from perfumistas and my +35 friends,I think mature noses can appreciate it's beauty more As mentioned before most of it's dominant notes aren't my faves but I love cinnamon and amber and vanilla and it's more about these notes on me.lots of cinnamon in a resinous, balsamic base,delicious and warm and inviting, a little dark,but also soft.it reminds me a softer organza indecense which I love A lovely fall,winter scent, very different from the red one but both are warm and mature and I truly appreciate their presence in my collection ❤❤❤❤

This is the perfect perfume for the season. Tonight, she's going to shine, and her message of love and strength is exactly what's needed. There are some lovely reviews here below me, and I recommend you read what Queen Latifah created here, in her own words, above, as well. She hit her target with this, and if you think you're going to like this, you're likely going to love it. For its price, this voluptuous royal is top shelf. "Commands" is the perfect word for her, as Apathy Angel said below. The Queen of Hearts commands. The moment I smelled her, she reminded me of LE BAISER DU DRAGON (KISS OF THE DRAGON) by Cartier. Smells so similar, I'm shocked the Dragon isn't in the slide show of "reminds me of", up above. There is a difference, The Queen is much more respectable in her ways, she just blows you that kiss. She is a lady, afterall. She's up there with my fairest lady, ORGANZA - INDECENCE (vintage/original formula) by Givenchy as far as that whole showcasing her powerful, "je ne sais pas" bathed in spice, rich oils and smoke goes. These are some of my favourite perfumes. They stand alone on their own shelves, but The Queen of Hearts sits on her throne amongst the other perfumes on the "Alice In Wonderland" shelf. She was a much needed addition to my little collection, and she was so AFFORDABLE! If only she would last longer.. These are the kinds of perfumes that make you wonder, "what other gems are out there for us to discover and experience?". Makes you want to shout it from the roof tops - "Come! You must smell this, at once!" But hesitant to share your secret, lest the last of their kind be picked up and gone forever... Yes, those other gems are discontinued and getting more difficult to find, so their prices are absolutely absurd. Blessed be! Long live The Queen of Hearts... Long may she reign! ❤️ 🔥Queen Latifah🔥 🙌 I adore your message. You are a gem. Love you.

I never thought I'd ever own this fragrance, I love Queen Latifah but I wasn't aware of her fragrances. I was so extremely lucky to find a lovely lovely woman on kijiji selling a bunch of perfumes for peanuts, bought a full size EDP of Sofia by Sofia Vergara and Queen Latifah Queen of Hearts 100 ml for 30 Canadian dollars total, she even gave me some samples! So lovely. So, obviously, I was off to a good start with this little pre-birthday gift to myself :) Now, I love oriental/balsamic/aromatic fragrances (a bit like Tom Ford ones), but I always look at them like a child looks at their mom. I often feel too young, I have a babyface, and I just feel like I am wearing something outside of my personality and looks. I am a very simple, no make up, natural blond hair, a college sweatshirt and a pair of jeans kinda girl. Yet, sometimes I really long for that incense/balsamic potion kinda perfume... I owned Nirvana Bourbon in the past and loved it, although longevity was very poor, but finally gave it away as a gift since I didn't use it much. I wasn't ready to invest a lot of money in a perfume I wouldn't use that much, but this one was so cheap I gave it a go. So glad I did! Queen of Hearts smells very sexy, aromatic, balsamic, and unisex to me. This can definitely be a man fragrance, it reminds me of my dad's oils from the United Arab Emirates that he uses after shaving. This could easily be a Tom Ford or Amouage fragrance and I'm sure people would actually buy it. Yet this can be found for extra cheap. The bottle is also very nice and appropriate for the scent. I really love this and it's perfect for those cold mornings when you want to douse yourself in something cozy. I love this one. I hope to try Queen soon. Edit: finally remember what it reminds me of!!!! Noir Extreme by Tom Ford!! Maybe not exactly but that same sweet boozy sexy vibe.

Just received this today, originally wanted her 1st one but got this one when I found it sooner. Still plan on getting her 1st, especially now. I could tell I would probably be pleased based on some of my favorite notes being in it (musk and amber). Yes I am a guy, just a disclaimer. I pretty much only wear female or unisex fragrances due to both an allergy and, well simply put, cologne smells bad on me. I learned this when I was a teenager and got into my Grandmother's White Diamonds, and was the "rave" at school from all the compliments. Something about my chemistry turns almost any of these scents into a male scent for some reason and have never once been accused of smelling "Feminine" and always produce shocks when or if they discover I'm wearing something labeled as "A women's fragrance".. (Of course flowery/gardenia/strong powders ect are exceptions). When I began air testing this, passing it slowly and letting it air out, doing some face passes and finally some skin tests. I was blown away. Smoky indeed! This one just took me away into some night time moon light escapade on the shores of Bermuda or something. The notes that stood out on my skin, even after several hours were the musk and spicy incense. The fragrance was very warm and felt like I was wrapped in a sultry balmy night. I found it rather exotic and perhaps even a little "Classy erotic". I really am glad I tried this one, and cannot wait to try her 1st fragrance. I'm always slightly afraid of Patchouli but it did this one no harm, the light top notes provided initial whimsical freshness, but quickly settled into it's darker mid and base notes. Though not a fan of her music/genre, I adore her as an actor in almost anything she does, I had a feeling she could produce an amazing scent...I was not disappointed.

Oohhh wow... this fragrance is beautiful! I bought it for practically nothing on Ebay. I had read reviews that compared it to Jessica Simpson's Fancy Nights, and while I am still on the fence about whether or not I like that one, I loved the idea of it. Queen of Hearts seemed like a logical buy, and for the price I couldn't say no. I have to say that I instantly liked Queen of Hearts. While I could sense the white flowers a little bit, the scary sharpness they sometimes bring to a fragrance was tempered by a lucious plum and just a bit of smokey incense. I also really liked the patchouli in this. The cinnamon added some spicy body to the fragrance, but it wasn't TOO spicy. Best of all - this fragrance is ALL female! It is full bodied, confident, beautiful, not unlike Queen Latifah herself! This perfume really is gorgeous. As I just got it and have only been wearing it a few hours I will most likely have to update later with more details, but let me say that for the price if you are thinking about trying it, DO IT! It is entirely worth it, IMO. PS - for a great review comparing Queen of Hearts and Fancy Nights, scroll down a bit to sherapop's notes on the fragrances - really good, and helped me decide to give Queen of Hearts a go! Also showed me that it might be the papyrus note that gives me trouble in Jessica Simpson's perfume... :) UPDATE: This may very well become one of my favorite perfumes!! It lasted for hours on me, and even longer on clothes, and it has such a beautiful, lightly sweet vanilla-amber drydown with just a memory of the smoky spicyness from the beginning. (BIG bonus for me that the amber doesn't overpower everything!) Fantastic. I might even go buy some back up bottles just in case, since they are so inexpensive right now. :) LOVE LOVE LOVE
