Sexy 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk

This has been one of my favorites for years. I love that it smells luxurious as well as sensual. The blackberry is not overwhelmingly sweet, and the patchouli mellows it some on my skin.

Freaking gorgeous. blackberry at its best!!

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice? Not necessarily! At least not in this blackberry laden fragrance offering. It's sweet alright, but not obnoxiously so. The sweetness is natural, fruity. It lacks the synthetic, intense artificial sweetener sometimes present in fragrances. The fruitiness is accompanied, by a heavy doses of both vanilla and musk, providing both comfort and something I can't quite put my finger on, but I wouldn't describe it as typical musk "sexy", not even sensual. It's comfortable and slightly creamy. It doesn't present as warm, more room temperature. The florals are fleeting at best, but I can detect an unlisted pinch of cinnamon. As usual for me, the patchouli grounds all the notes nicely. NOT so usual to me is the overall feel of the combination of vanilla, blackberry, musk, patchouli. Sexy 9 is strangely thick and doughy to my nose. It's what is the most appealing about this fragrance to me. The dough is more reminiscent of pie than a child's play-dough. Maybe that's by design, something the perfumer cooked up? :)

Oooh this is delightful. The first spray is a somewhat synthetic blackberry and vanilla. But this rapidly dries down and softens into a velvety, almost shampooey cashmere vanilla. The result is a subtle, soapy, skin scent. It is soft, clean and cozy like your favorite sweater. I love a good blackberry fragrance and this is one of the better ones I've tried. However, I must also note that this fragrance is quite fleeting. I've had it on for only an hour and already it just smells like I'm wearing nice lotion. This may be a good thing for people who love subtle and intimate fragrances.

TM Sexy #9 goes on very sweet (fruity, flowery, SWEET), but once it calms down the notes of sandalwood, musk and patchouli help the scent develop into something rounder and richer. I like it, but it doesn't seem "special" and it does not last a long time.

I am currently using this perfume when I am not going anywhere, just to use it up (I hate wasting perfumes). It is not terrible but it doesn't give me good vibes. I don't put it on and get a wow feeling. It is ok basically but not for me. I can't even decipher the aroma. On first spray, it is sharp citrus that hits me, which does calm down but then I'm left with a muddling mix. I bought the perfume whilst visiting a well known store in London and when I went to get it out of the box, the spray had unscrewed from the bottle so the contents could have easily spilled out everywhere. I was surprised to realise the spray was screwed on and the bottle felt cheap.

I ordered this from television and was very disappointed. I am a fan of oriental and spicy scents, but this one was too much vanilla or blackberry or both. It was just too strong. I gave it to my niece, who wore in in the car with me one trip and I about gagged. Note to self: Don't give perfume you hate to your relatives! :)

A sweet, natural, gourmand, dessert scent, and a little generic feeling. A pass because of the sub par performance.

This is a very wonderful delicious scent. This is defiantly a Unisex scent. In fact when I bought it from Blue Mercury the Trish McEvoy representative was there and advised that this was indeed marketed as universal. It is sweet but a masculine sweet. I love how it smells on my skin and get lots of complements, however if you are a man who refuses to smell a bit sweet....then this is not for you. At first spray it is all blackberry, but quickly dries down to a berry/vanilla musk. It lingers for a very long time. I will catch a wiff late in the day or the next morning if sprayed before bed. Well worth it. A great quality Fragrance. Scent: 10/10 Delicious For a women: This is a perfect. For a man: Perfect if you are into sweet scents that are not typically marketed for men. Sillage: 8/10 Projects well. After dry down stays close to the skin. Longevety: 8/10 Lasts long. at least 8 hrs. Price 6/10 A bit pricy but worth it.

This is my second wearing, having a sample from Nordstrom's....In contrast to the review below, I find this scent to be incredibly fleeting, perhaps the fastest dissipating scent I have encountered, and very mild during its short life span to boot. While present, it is a nice natural fruity, slightly woodsy, musk - I don't pick up the vanilla, though perhaps on me it just doesn't have the chance to develop as the whole show is over so quickly. It's a nice fragrance, not particularly unique; I can see this being the 'sexy' scent that some might be looking for, it has a fun flirtatious quality and certainly smells good. To give you a sense of the 'longevity' on me...I sprayed this morning around 7:00, 7:15am. It's just 10am and I have to attach my nose to my wrist to get the barest hint. And at least since 9:30 I've been wondering 'where is it?'

Sexy 9 is a pretty fragrance for the first 30 minutes before patchouli kicks in and it goes from comforting and warm to rank. This would have been stunning had patchouli been left out.

I first got this in 2012 and it was spectacular 10/10 fragrance. I smelled this recently and its a SHADOW of what it was. Completely diluted to a cheap mess. Tragic.
