Katy Perry Killer Queen roll-on perfume

If you’re searching for a wonderful stocking stuffer, let me suggest a roll-on fragrance. Unlike a bulkier bottle, these can be particularly convenient for tossing in a handbag or packing when you travel.  

A good possibility is Katy Perry’s Killer Queen Roll-on Eau de Parfum for those on your list needing an energy boost. This fruity-floral gourmand scent is fun, sparkling with wild berries, dark plum along with juicy bergamot until it warms in the heart with velvety red flowers, jasmine and plumeria, adding a soft romantic element to it.  As it dries down in the base with cashmere, patchouli and liquid praline, it invites a stylish, sweet seduction.  

Read my earlier detailed review of Killer Queen Eau de Parfum Spray to better experience this scent.

Whether you prefer a spray or a roll-on fragrance, there is a Killer Queen variety to suit your needs.  Look for it because it is quite a unique fragrance.

Adidas Born Original for Her Eau de Parfum can help you get a fresh start for Fall!

Though we may just have started Fall, I know how you can easily make that Summer feeling last.  All it takes is a fragrance that helps you relive the season every time you wear it like Coty Beauty’s recently released fruity-floral, Adidas Born Original for Her that came out this Summer 2015.

This fragrance has notes of bergamot, apricot and orange zest to give it that fresh, happy burst of bright energy as it opens.  The blend is like experiencing that ideal Summer morning that is warm and breezy, and yet still clinging to its morning dew as it awakens for a new day.

As the fragrance warms further in the heart with notes of exotic coconut, candied apple and jasmine, the scent begins to beautifully soften as it steals some of that fresh citrus thunder.  In its place, those sweet fruits and floral notes give it a luscious, romantic element that captivates.  

The further the fragrance continues to dry down in the base, its notes of tonka bean, cedar and olive wood add that warmth and a certain appealing charm that make Adidas Born Original for Her delightfully intriguing as well as easy to wear.  

If this sounds like your type of fragrance, do check out Adidas Born Original for Her Eau de Parfum ($30) and get a whiff.  I know that you will love the scent once that you sample it in person.

Katy Perry Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum Review + ($30) Giveaway!–Ends September 11, 2015

Disclaimer:  This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.


Royal Revolution Perfume.jpeg
Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum


Superstar singer, Katy Perry, knows how to make a fun, but dramatic impression whether on stage or with her fragrance line done in conjunction with Coty Beauty.  For her third perfume’s release in 2014, she made sure to take no prisoners with this unique, creamy fruity-floral perfume created by perfumer, Pierre Negrin, with her Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum.

With top notes of pink freesia and red pomegranates, the opening is sweet and juicy.  This combo seems to sugarcoat the floral note with its red fruity essence instead of contributing an element of freshness as you might expect.

By the time this fragrance warms in the heart, the notes of sandalwood, orange flower and jasmine petals take ranking precedence for an alluring hold on the senses that is unexplainable in how it effortlessly captivates.  

However, the real magic to this fragrance happens in the base.  The note of blackthorn in particular seems to cast a spell of crushing resistance like an initial weapon to break hearts before the rest of the notes of vanilla orchid, leather, and skin musk emerge,  arriving to finish what it has won with its dominating power. Making sure to take no prisoners, Royal Revolution is creamy, sweet seduction that you wish would never stop with an unexpected powdery twist within its depths.

I enjoyed this fragrance very much.  My only wish is to make its lovely blue diamond bottle to stand instead of needing to lie flat so it could take less space on my crowded vanity.

Have you tried Katy Perry’s Royal Revolution perfume yet?  If not, you owe it to yourself to check this fragrance out.

Lady Gaga's Eau de Gaga 001 Perfume Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Lady Gaga Eau de Gaga 001 perfume.jpeg
Lady Gaga's Eau de Gaga 001 Perfume


With a celebrity like pop singer-songwriter, Lady Gaga, you never know what to expect when she comes on stage.  The same is true with the release of her second unisex woody-floral fragrance, Eau de Gaga 001, that was done in collaboration with Coty Beauty and her Haus Laboratories with perfumer, Ursula Wandel.

Trying to find the right words to describe this scent is difficult because of the way this one develops.  This scent has an explosive citrus start from opening notes of lime and bergamot that come off strong and forceful with a masculine edge.  You don’t know exactly where this fragrance is taking you until it warms further.  

It is in the heart with notes of white violet that there is a subtle blending of floral sweetness that gives wonderful contrast to that harsh electrifying lime.  At this point, the combination of notes becomes more feminine with a fresher sweet vibe to it.

As it dries down in the base, this fragrance changes yet again as the leather notes kick, making it more unisex with a raw sexy appeal that might pleasantly surprise your senses.

I don’t think this fragrance will be for everyone, but I did like Eau de Gaga 001 for how different it was. Do give this fragrance a chance to see how it develops with your body’s own chemistry before you rule it out. Otherwise, you just might miss something that could help single you out from the crowd.

Lady Gaga’s Fame Eau de Parfum Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

fame-perfume.jpeg
This is a bold, but sexy fragrance.



Lady Gaga’s first fragrance, Fame launched Fall, 2012 from her own The Haus Laboratories Paris and in conjunction with Coty Beauty.  Just as theatrical as the singer herself, this fruity floral is meant to be just as boldly shocking as the performer on stage to attract attention.


This fragrance is about walking on the wild side and the price of her stardom both sweet and glorious as well as the dark, destructive aspect of fame. Thus, the color choice of the perfume of black for the liquid (that does change to clear on the skin), symbolizing the dark side of her pop stardom to the gold detailing and cap that represents the light side, sweetness and allure associated with it.

Fame is based on three accords so it comes off differently with a “push-pull” sort of effect than utilizing top, middle, and base notes.  The dark accord is composed of the Belladonna notes, and the sensual accord consists of the honey, saffron, and apricot notes, and the light accord covering the Tiger Orchid notes to create it.

Though I do not find Fame as cheap or outrageous as I was led to believe, I do feel this fragrance is quite unique and mystifying with how the fruit, floral, spice, and musk merge almost at once as it seductively plays against the skin.  There is a mild sweetness from the honey and saffron that has been kept in check by the apricot, but I would label this more of an oriental floral than a fruity-floral due to how the belladonna weaves through this fragrance to intensify the floral. And yet, the incense adds to its intriguing allure and sultriness due to those deep musky tones.

If you like a floral fragrance steeped in mystery, I think you would enjoy Lady Gaga’s Fame for yourself or give as a holiday gift.  The 3.4 oz. eau de parfum retails for $79. Do check this one out.

Review: Halle Berry's Exotic Jasmine Eau de Parfum Takes You on a Whimsical Journey!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Halle Berry Exotic Jasmine parfum.jpeg
Exotic Jasmine Eau de Parfum

Academy Award-winning actress, Halle Berry's sixth fragrance for Coty Beauty that recently hit store shelves this 2013 is a bouquet of dainty floral beauty.  This fragrance is fresh but not overly sweet with a lovely air about it that is whimsical as well as enchanting.

Exotic Jasmine opens with notes of the violet leaf and airy cyclamen.  The mix is so soft that it is almost floating as it encounters the neroli, washing that sheerness with freshness. 

Jasmine sambac, plumeria blossom and fluid hedione are the notes that cause this joyous awakening in the heart.  Swirling around each other, those floral notes unfold with beauty of romance and sweetness.

Unknowingly, this fragrance has the power to innocently seduce at the same time from notes of white cedar, soft vetiver, and skin musk as it dries down in the base.

The longevity of this fragrance can last for several hours before you will want to reapply.  

This is a gentle floral that can bewitch any floral fragrance lover.  I do recommend looking into Exotic Jasmine.  You can find it at Kohl's, drug stores, or Halle Berry Fragrances.

An Ideal Gift for a Perfumista--Guess Girl Belle Fragrance Set (Review)

Disclaimer:  This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.



Guess Girl Belle Fragrance Set.jpeg
Guess Girl Belle Fragrance Set


Trying to buy the perfect fragrance for a perfumista can be a challenge with all the beautiful scents on the market.  My advice is to consider the fragrance family she wore or to associate her with for the best possible match.  

If she tends to favor brighter floral scents for today's woman that are sexy, fun, and elegant over heavier spicy ones, then the new Guess Girl Belle fragrance should please her to no end.

The top notes are a bubbling pink champagne, golden delicious apples, and a juicy mix of berries that delightfully tease, dripping over the scent with a happy, energetic radiance. 

The heart notes are so romantic with pink peony, natural jasmine sambac, and violet, lending a fresh floral beauty to those luscious fruits.  Guess Girl Belle turns you into a captivating goddess with admiring eyes glued to your every move as this fragrance warms.  

Yet, the base is a slow seduction that taunts with Australian sandalwood, sexy musk, and vanilla, layering this carefully orchestrated fragrance with a powdery graceful beauty that can bewitch!

Of course, you can buy the 3.4 Eau de Toilette for the suggested retail price of $62.  However, the Guess Girl Belle Fragrance Set  that I was sent is a real deal for just $4.00 more because you get the 3.4 Eau de Toilette Spray, Rollerball (10 ml), Shower Cream (2.5 oz.), and the Body Cream (2.5 oz.) for $65.

Hot Holiday Male Fragrance Gift--NEW Guess Night Fragrance Set for Men (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Guess Night Fragrance Set for Men.jpeg
Guess Night for Men Fragrance Set


Ladies, if you're still coming up empty-handed on what fragrance your guy might like this holiday season, then Guess Night for Men that launched this Fall, 2013 from perfumers, Antoine Lie and Francis Kurkdjian, may be just the sexy, but modern male scent to please you both.  This warm woody fragrance has an exciting youthful edge that is bursting with a confident energy and underlying sensuality that are very appealing.

The top notes of hot pepper and elemi make for a dynamic peppery opening charged with freshness from sparkling grapefruit.  The unstoppable energy and daring as those notes merge into their own are instantly apparent.  

The heart is where this fragrance becomes deep and seductive with warmth from cedar and vetiver.  You can already pick up the heat, but it is the geranium that brings sophistication to its bold confidence.  

The fragrance dries down with such fuzzy finesse from base notes of patchouli, labdanum, and black vanilla that ends just like a soft and sweet, sexy invitation that a woman can't say no to.  

I do not consider this a unisex fragrance that you will want to borrow, ladies, but I do think it is one very hot male fragrance that definitely should be on your radar when holiday gift shopping for your man.

The Guess Night Fragrance Set can solve your male fragrance dilemma so do look into this great gift.   This includes a Guess Night for Men Eau de Toilette Spray (3.4 oz.), After Shave Balm (2.5 oz.), Shower Gel (2.5 oz.), and Deodorant Body Spray (4 oz.) for a real value with a suggested price of $68!  Trust me, but you both will love this choice!

Guess Girl Belle Eau de Toilette



Guess Girl has a new addition to their original scent that launched September 2013 in with Guess Girl Belle.  This fruity-floral is sensational for the tantalizing way it elegantly flirts and seduces with its bright sensuality. 

This fragrance is far from shy and opens beaming with confidence with notes of bubbling pink champagne, golden delicious apple, and mixed juicy berries.  You can feel the excitement  and anticipation of something glorious about to unfold as those top notes meld together. 

Yet it is the movement of the pink peony, natural jasmine sambac, and violet in the heart that make this fragrance undeniably flirtatious and inviting.  The scent is fresh but romantic.  You feel adored and desired wearing Guess Girl Belle like there is no one else but you to gaze upon the more it warms.

There is no rushing the seduction in this fragrance.  It is slow and deliberate as it dries down with Australian sandalwood, soft musk, and vanilla to lend a powdery delicate beauty that is hard to resist.

I think Guess Girl Belle is one of the best Guess Girl fragrances yet and I loved it.  It is a very girlie floral fragrance that is bright and lasting with a delicate modern femininity.  The 3.4 oz.  Guess Girl Belle Eau de Toilette retails for $62.  If you have a special woman in your life and you are looking for a wonderful holiday gift, I do recommend picking this one up because it is just as extra special as she is!

A Fragrance That Will Have You Ruling His Heart--Katy Perry's NEW Killer Queen Eau de Parfum Spray Review and ($59) Giveaway!--Ends October 31, 2013

Disclaimer:  This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.


Killer Queen Perfume Spray.jpeg
Katy Perry's Killer Queen Eau de Parfum Spray 

Superstar singer, Katy Perry, recently launched a third perfume in conjunction with Coty.  Just as exciting and unpredictable as the stunning songstress in the flesh, Killer Queen, created with the perfumer, Laurent Le Guernec, is a dynamic fruity-floral gourmand with a wild spirit that fires up, captivating you in its delicious warmth and burning with more of a mature seductive appeal than her previous fragrances.

The top fruity notes are playful and bright.  You can sense the energy immediately with juicy bergamot accords until teasing begins once the notes of wild berries and dark plum emerge adding richness to this sweet fragrance.

With romantic heart notes of velvety red flowers (Celosia), jasmine and Plumeria, Killer Queen becomes creamier as it warms  The floral notes sprinkle a powdery softness over the lush fruits that is beautiful with its delicate cover, waiting for the proper time to make an entrance.

The base notes of cashmere, patchouli, and liquid praline lend an enticing sophistication to this composition as they begin to seduce.  You feel the fanning flames as the fragrance begins to dry down, drawing you helplessly to that burning heat as it rages until you are made its prisoner and consumed with desire.

Don't think that Killer Queen is another celebrity fragrance with nothing special to offer or even vaguely close to Katy Perry's other two fruity-floral perfumes.  That assumption would be a mistake.  This complicated fragrance is seductive and an intriguing scent with class and style that will surprise you as much as it will delight you.

I loved the warmth and spicy aspects of Killer Queen, which is even more enjoyable to wear especially now with colder weather.  The only thing I find wrong about this perfume revolves around the red-ruby shaped bottle with its own golden pedestal.  You won't be able to stand this bottle upright.

The 100 ml of Killer Queen Eau de Parfum Spray retails for $59.  It also comes in the 15 ml, 30 ml, or 50 ml.  Do check this one out!

Guess Seductive I'm Yours Eau de Toilette Review--Unmistakably Sexy in An Elegant Way!

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**


Guess Seductive I'm Yours Eau de Toilette.jpeg
Guess Seductive I'm Yours Eau de Toilette

A scent that perfectly captures the essence of a playfully seductive minx is Guess Seductive I'm Yours.  With all the sassy confidence and fun-loving spirit of a relentless temptress, this lush oriental fragrance developed by Pierre Negrin in 2010, is an unexpected combination of sultry and flirty that is so appealing.

Although there is a gourmand element going on, I would hardly consider this one as fruity sweet as Guess Seductive Sunkissed that I previously reviewed.  On the contrary, this is more sophisticated and bolder in composition due to expert blending of delicate floral, stirring woods, musk, and succulent fruits that enable it to taunt and still smolder as its notes develop.

The fragrance opens with notes of Tirare Tahiti Flower, peony, and passion fruit lending an exotic edge to it that is delicious in the lively way it greets you.  

Whereas, the heart is about romance with magnolia, while lily, and vanilla orchid warming under that hot tropical sun, beckoning with a bit of naughtiness.   Dripping over the floral is an irresistible softened fruity sweetness by the time it meets the base notes.  

With patchouli flower, haunting woods, creamy musk, and vetiver, this very feminine scent becomes velvety with  woods and floral against that delectable, peeled back layer of the fruity ripeness.  

Those that appreciate a soft woody-floral scent with a yummy tropical twist would find this fragrance to their liking.  Furthermore, I think this beautiful blend is timeless and suitable for women of all ages for how it develops with its many sides.

Personally, I happen to love Guess Seductive I'm Yours.  If what I described sounds like your type of fragrance, I highly recommend trying it because it is, indeed, lovely.

A Scent With Sunny Sensuality! Celine Dion's Pure Brilliance Eau de Toilette Spray Review

Celine Dion's Pure Brillance

Fresh and very feminine, Pure Brilliance by Celine Dion in conjunction with Coty Beauty, is as polished a fruity-floral as the emerald-like falcon this jewel of a fragrance comes in.  Working with Harry Fremont, the perfumer of Firmenich, this scent of 2010, is a sheer blissful melody of tempting fruits, delicate floral, and haunting warmth that elegantly captivates with its effortless sunny sensuality.
Celine Dion's Pure Brilliance Eau de Toilette Spray.jpeg
Celine Dion's Pure Brilliance Eau de Toilette Spray

Slightly tart Granny Smith Apple pleasantly dilutes the sweetness of the pear in the top notes along with a mix of beautiful freesia and green leaves giving the fragrance supreme brightness.   This combination fills you with pure joy inhaling its fruity-floral aroma.

In the heart, more refined beauty is what emerges in this romantic fragrance once the honeysuckle, lily, muget, and peach stir to life, showering it with warmth and confidence.  Graceful and charming, this is being glamorous and sexy without trying.  Think of an attractive and real woman at her best to describe the allure experienced at this stage.

The base notes of blonde wood and musk reflect its earthy sensuality that is bewitching without being overpowering.

This is a delight to wear, especially if you love Celine Dion's fragrances as much as I do.  I must tell you this one has more fruit to the floral that her others that I have tried.  Nonetheless, it is a glorious expression of sparkling beauty that is perfect to wear day or night.

Do sample Pure Brilliance and let it brighten your day!

Playboy's VIP for Her Eau de Toilette Spray

You will surely make a statement when wearing Playboy's new VIP for Her fragrance.  This fruity-floral is hardly what you expect from a bottle sporting bunny ears.  You will find this a well-thought out scent that has high-end sophistication for one with an inexpensive price.

The joyful opening is a celebration of orange flower, peony, and bubbly nectarine.  As each of those top notes come into their own, you can't help anticipate the excitement that is about to unfold. 

Confident and glamorous, this romantic fragrance arrives in style in the heart with notes of love apple, juicy red fruits, and heliotrope that also reflect a playful spirit.  A bit of crispness from the apple as it merges with the red fruits seems to toy with the heliotrope to produce a taunting sensuality at this stage that captures attention.

Yet, what makes this fragrance more interesting is what happens in the base.  Once the sandalwood, cashmere, and musk heat, this gorgeous scent has a delicious sugary coating to the fresh floral that is soft and irresistible!

Do get a whiff  and then next experience the magic of Playboy's VIP for Her  fragrance whether in the eau de toilette as I had or in their line of body products.

Beyonce's Heat Perfume


Though I am familiar with several of the other fragrances from Beyonce for Coty Beauty, I had never tried her first scent of Heat that launched in 2010.  Working with the house of Givaudan perfumers, Claude Dir and Olivier Gillotin, this is the wildly successful sexy,  fruity-floral fragrance that started it all and later branched into new additions to the Heat line.

From the advertising campaign, I had expected a heavier oriental scent.  However, I was totally surprised because this is a complex blend that does not bombard your senses with any overdose of woods and spice.  Instead, you are slowly enticed through lighter notes of fruit and floral that eventually meets the intriguing warmth brewing in the base from flaming woods and amber. 

Heat Eau de Parfum opens with red vanilla-orchid, magnolia, neroli and peach that pleasantly dilutes that sweetness.  A lushness of floral beauty  surrounds you like stepping into an exotic garden and inhaling after summer rain has hit the ground.

Just as if the dew on those flowers and fruit have lifted, the heart is romantic with notes of honeysuckle and  almond, gradually warming as well like the sun evaporating that moisture once the creamy musk emerges. 

The kindling warmth inevitably catches fire in the base due to sequoia wood, tonka and amber.  The effect is  taunting smokiness that is demurely sexy at the same time.

Heat is ladylike and but full of passion without jumping all over you.  This feeling is what I loved most about it.  The warmth is controlled in this fragrance that gives it that exceptional elegance to the sensuality it possesses.   My suggestion is experience this scent from Beyonce Parfums because it compelling.

Gorgeous talent, Katy Perry, knows how to energize an audience with her amazing voice and bold lyrics.  Therefore, it should hardly come as a surprise that once she branched out into beauty that her special spark of lively excitement had to emerge in her first fragrance, Purr.

Developed by Firmenich perfumer house in 2010,  this riveting fruity-floral has a bright, youthful edge.  The composition is as unpredictable and unique as the beautiful star herself.  

Purr opens with a blast  from citrus and green bamboo against peach nectar and apple for a perky fresh take to the sweet fruits that uplifts it to delightful new heights.  

The floral heart is all feminine and softly romantic with jasmine blossom, pink freesia, and Bulgarian rose, balanced by vanilla orchid for a very pretty way to make an impression.  

The base is sheer and powdery temptation of white amber, sandalwood, coconut, and musk to give it a warm creamy feel that makes it entirely enticing. 

What I especially appreciated about Purr Eau de Parfum was how it held up to that unique freshness without making it too sweet or fruity for just the purr-fect balance of notes.  

Expect the unexpected when it comes to a fruity-floral fragrance in this one because it definitely it is worth looking into with its fun twist!
