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.

Stunning actress, Halle Berry's fifth perfume for Coty Beauty, is as unexpected and fascinating as the actual screen goddess.  Working with the perfumer, Jacques Cavallier, Closer, is an intriguing woody-floral that divides that delicate line between masculine and feminine to power attraction by way of this unique scent.

The opening notes flirt with the opposite sex with accords of ozone, wild raspberry, and water lily to provide smooth sweetness and yet there is a degree of tartness to give it an interesting flow. 

The heart notes reflect the getting to know you stage in a couple's relationship  with mimosa, violet, cedar, and fougere accord for warmth and depth for stimulating a sense of falling in love.

The base notes reflect the underlying desire and intimacy with vanilla pod and cashmere that softly beckon while mahogany and musk further seduce.  Though Closer has a masculine vibe of somewhat, it softens in such an alluring way in the dry down that it has raw sex appeal. 

I was surprised at how beautifully complex this perfume was and really liked it.   However, this is one fragrance you need to test yourself.  You need to try Closer and allow it to develop on your skin  to appreciate how undeniably sexy it is!   

Closer would make a great holiday gift for any lucky woman.

Halle Pure Orchid by Halle Berry is a sweet floral-fruity rush of pleasure that was created by perfumers, Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Christophe Raynaud in 2010.  This fragrance will color your senses with purple yummy delight when floral meets fruit for a happy marriage of orchid and blackberry.

Those that hate an overly sweet fragrance need not worry about Halle Pure Orchid.  This romantic scent opens with papaya, cactus flower, and amalfi lemon for an exotic tropical sweetness with a hint of freshness that gives this scent sparkle.  The combination is happy, almost glowing as it greets you.

As the heart ripens with blackberry competing with orchid and star anise,  the original floral sweetness takes on more on a gourmand feeling.   The scent becomes delicious, serving the wearer up like a fruity-floral treat to be enjoyed.

The dry down is deliberately soft and  warm.  Halle Pure Orchid takes it time to expertly seduce with the patchouli tamed by the tonka bean and sequoia to give it an undeniable allure and island flavor that will mesmerize those caught up in its radius.

If you happen to be a big fan of fruity-floral fragrances, then I definitely recommend checking this one out for you or as a wonderful Mother's Day gift, especially if you adore that purple lusciousness that only blackberries deliver.

Mysteriously haunting is how I would describe this classically feminine fruity-floral from Halle Berry Fragrances that I sent to review.  You can get a sense of Halle Berry's glamour, sophistication, sexiness, and warmth as Reveal Eau de Parfum takes hold of your senses.   

The fragrance opens with a  beautiful bouquet of plumeria flowers, neroli petals, and mimosa blooming against a backdrop of peach, red berries and  honeydew to awaken this scent and bring a wonderful freshness to this elegant and complex romantic perfume. 

Those fruit notes add a laid back juicy quality that gives it an irresistible, playful side.  Yet as the scent develops further that enticing smell becomes velvety as the honeydew and woods begin to mingle.

Once the iris warms with the cashmere woods, vetiver, and skin milk, this alluring perfume becomes seductive and takes no prisoners.  This is the perfect scent if you want a light sexy woody floral that you can live in day or night.

Even the bottle is to be admired like a small object of art, shaped like a four-sided teardrop.  A pink jewel-like cut cap crowns the top majestically.  

With the timeless beauty of this scent, it is hard to believe this perfume is sold at your drug store and not a fragrance counter.  However, it is not just my opinion of how exquisite this perfume is since Self Magazine also is in agreement naming Reveal Eau de Parfum as their 2011 Fragrance Award Winner.

Do look for Reveal fragrances the next time you shop because you will love it!
