Rock! by Shakira

i hate it when people comment without even sniffing a fragrance.....i thought this would suck big time, and then i saw it on the shelf and then after ignoring it i had to try it out both on paper and on my skin......first thought is YUCK garbage like citrus...but then after 5 seconds it begins to shine fresh citrus with just a little sweetness but so good i could not believe it for that price to be so good and so long lasting...i can still sniff it of my wrist after 5 hours....it doesn't change like other stuff but it is a great scent for day or evening all year for both guys and girls...this is nothing complicated, it's simple but very good (it's like a light version of eau de gaga 001)...i will buy it in the future btw i'm a tall masculine 21 year old guy but don't divide fragrances by gender (it's just stupid in the 21st century) and please stop correcting me on the "perfume is for girls scents and cologne is for guy scents", it's the same thing and what do you call the unisex ones....perfume is a nice word and i'll stick with that

If I had to use one word to describe this perfume, I'd say it's "electric." It's ideal for parties and if you're wearing maybe yellow or something bright/ illuminous to put yourself out there. I bought about 2 bottles in a Spanish airport, there was only like 2 bottles of it left so I'm not sure if it's discontinued. I do like it, but I can't view it as a signature scent. It's only worn for occasions.

I blindbuy this one, because it cost only 20 euro at Amsterdam airport at that time. This perfume is fruity alright, the citrus and the passionfruit, i think the smell is faithful to the pyramid, and it was a great bargain, so I don't regret it. It smells nice, and I think this one is more unisex even though it is marketed towards female.

I have seen that this gets negative reviews, but if I were to smell this on a girl I would definitely appreciate it. I find it very attractive.

Hmmmmmm. <-- That is how I feel about this fragrance. It's kind of pleasant...kind of unpleasant. I can understand why this is not a "crowd pleaser" generally speaking. I've read tons of reviews stating how this doesn't really smell so much like a perfume...as it does like a car freshener or air freshener. But on the contrary...that actually is what pushed me to pull the plug and blind buy this as the very soapy, or "clean-categorized" fragrances I usually really love. Some examples are Jennifer Aniston's first fragrance, has a beachy-detergent like vibe. David H's Cool Water for men is very aquatic, clean cotton type of smell. Versace Crystal Noir - A very gardenia centric soapy smell. All of the above fragrance I absolutely LOVE! So what most people were "on the fence" about with this one is what MADE ME BUY IT. In addition to that...I have and absolutely LOVE Shakira's Elixir and Wild Elixir so needless to say, I had high hopes for this one despite the very "mixed reviews." But I must be a straight shooter as Wendy Williams says...and say I am somewhat let down. It's very confusing. Some days I think it's pleasant, other days I don't like it. And as mentioned below me...it does come off as very "sharp." VERY sharp actually. I know the top accords say white floral and citrus but somehow...it almost blends together to smell like a mixture of banana...and one of those "piney" car fresheners. It's hard to describe but that's how it comes off. Like a mix of green pine and banana. It's somewhat sharp and screechy so I'm extremely surprised to see "sweet" as a main accord...because it is not sweet. NOT AT ALL. We all work hard for our money so I don't only write reviews to describe my experiences with fragrances...I also like to warn all of you fellow fragranticans as to whether a fragrance is a safe blind buy in my opinion and this one is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE! Some will like it, some will not...but SMELL THIS FIRST! It is absolutely NOT a crowd pleaser for the masses. It's odd and confusing. Like I said, sometimes I think I like it, other days I absolutely do not. And some days I think it's better utilized as a room spray or something to spray on fabric or on your couch. Longevity - Decent. About 5 hours. Sillage - Also decent. About 2-3 feet for the first 2 hours and tapers in closer after that. Scent Itself - Im going to give it a 6. Confusing fragrance. Overall Rating - I couldn't be more unsure about this one. I'm gonna say a 5 or a 6. Again...biggest point here that I cannot stress enough is...DO NOT blind buy this.
