Dance

Best Shakira perfume! I used to be a fan of Elixir and Wild Elixir, but now they smell cheap and like alcohol to me. This one does not, despite the fact that it is super cheap.

this is avery exotic and beautiful perfume, the scent is a bit synthetic so not something to smother your body in. Its perfect for a finishing touch

It's quite peachy, fresh peach a bit like Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger. I don't get much caramel to be honest it's sweet flowery peach for me.

Summary: As usual with Shakira fragrances, smells more expensive than it costs. Pretty, not groundbreaking but a very solid option. Compares favourably to to several 50 euro perfumes both in how interesting it smells and how generally pleasing it is. Can be worn by women of any age, in my opinion, and is both office-safe and discreetly sexy. Needs re-spraying as it lasts 4 hours. Update: wears differently according to how many sprays I apply. Few sprays: sweetish floral. More sprays: the caramel comes to front, and I have to wait for it to dry down in order to enjoy the soapy floral part, which I prefer here. I am lucky when the caramel does not last strong in my skin (stays strong for 15-20 minutes, then the soapy floral notes take over). Still, the caramel is well done and not nauseating, as the woody notes somewhat balance it. --- Interestingly, this one is mostly a warm clean soapy pink floral in my skin. Wears close to skin. From the notes, I was expecting not to enjoy it much as I am very, very picky with caramel. I am lucky that my skin makes this caramel almost disappear. I do smell the caramel notes but after drying up the caramel stays discreet, like a hum below, just adding a hint of sweetness but not overwhelming the notes. Instead, upon dry-up I smell a watery/airy clean and soapy pink floral. An airy/watery pear note, strong and delicious peony, vague musk and floating white flowers, not of the intoxicating/indolic type, but of the perfumed soap kind, with something very hazy and watery and serene. Lovely! Layers beautifully over skin lotion and sunscreen, and also layers well over white musk. Smells feminine and pretty with just a hint of warm sensuality. Office-appropriate, while it can also be sexy in a cute girl next door way. In my imagination: spring dresses, happy laughs and a picnic in the shade. Reminds me of CH 212 if the fresh green cactus note had been replaced by a discreet warm sweet note instead. Well done!

A perfume where you can't smell individual notes. It's nothing amazing... it is a pretty scent, though very youthful. When I first sprayed this I pictured a 14 year old girl wearing it as she navigates through her first year of high school. You smell citruses, florals, and the sweet accord. As weird as it is...I don't smell caramel specifically. I just smell the sweet accord which actually smells somewhat powdery. It smells more like vanilla and amber mixed. Caramel ALWAYS stands out to me when it's used in perfumery. Some examples being "Viva La Juicy" and Jessica Simpson "Fancy." This however....does not smell like there is a stand out caramel note involved...just the "sweetness" is there as a whole. Anwyay...I voted above with a like because it's pretty. It however, is not something I will wear often. A great gift option for your teenage daughter though as the sweetness will appeal to most in that age demographic, it's playful and youthful without being provocative or sexy, and it's price tag is great. Longevity - About 4 hours but only projects about 1-2 hours of that. Projection - About 1-2 feet for the first hour and a half or so. Overall Score - 6.5/10. Side Note : I saw her "Dance Alegria" perfume in the database (and saw almost no reviews) and when I searched it on Amazon...it was literally their LAST one. So I ordered it as it was only about $30. Will review that one when it arrives in 5-6 days from now. As for this original Dance...I voted above with a like since the scent isn't anything to complain about. It just isn't my personality. But a solid like nonetheless. I spray my pillow with it sometimes at night as it has a sweetness and warmth that is quite nice. In my opinion...her best yet is still the original Elixir with her debut perfume "S" being a close second.
