Beyoncé Heat EDT
I din't like this as much as 'Heat Rush'! It comes in a pretty red glass bottle with gold hardware and smells like red flowers and tart current.
It is a moderate sillage scent and lasts for a while.
When I was using it, it felt like it lasted about an hour.
Fragrantica says:
Top notes: neroli, peach, magnolia, orchid.
Middle notes: musk, honeysuckle, almond, macaroons.
Base notes: amber, tonka bean, sequoia.
I would guess the notes as: red florals, red currant, musk, woods.
I get NO magnolia.
This is definitely a afternoon/ night scent and would probably be best in autumn.
Ma's guess: Some sort of flower XD (she liked it though).
Price: 2/5 (rrp $69 for 100mL)
Season: Autum
Weight: Medium
Overall possum liking: 3/5

Versace - Versense - Eau de Toilette
To me, it has notes of lime, green foliage, woody notes and a little bit of coconut. This is a morning, spring scent to me, with only a short lasting time and small sillage.
Fragrantica places the notes as follows:
Top notes - bergamot, fig, green mandarin, citruses, pear
Middle notes - lily, jasmine, cardamon, narcissus
Base notes - sandalwood, Virginia cedar, olive tree, musk
Price: 1/5 (rrp $110 for 50mL)
Season: Spring (this is my own opinion in this section)
Weight: Light (I mean as in the 'weight' of the scent... does that make sense?)
Overall possum liking: 4/5
This was a little sample bottle I had, I don't normally buy designer things, just to make that clear!

Beyonce Heat Rush EDT
This EDT... amazing! It comes in a pretty orange glass bottle with gold hardware and smells soooo citrus-y!
It is a moderate sillage scent, but (unfortunately) it does not last long at all... When I was using it, it felt like it was gone completely in 15 minutes.
Fragrantica says:
Top notes: Blood orange, cherry, passionfruit.
Middle notes: Orchid, hibiscus, mango blossum.
Base notes: Teak wood, amber, musk.
I would guess the notes as: orange, lolly sugar, pineapple.
I get NO passionfruit, wood, amber or musk... it almost seems strange to suggest these, to me.
This is definitely a day scent and would probably be best in summer.
Price: 2/5 (rrp $69 for 100mL)
Season: Summer

Diamonds and Emeralds EDT by Elizabeth Taylor
When I first got this perfume, I was really unsure about it. I like softer scents and this is what I would call hard (not necessarily strong, but hard).
Fragrantica describes the notes as follows:
Top notes: Apricot, Orange blossom, Gardenia, Mandarin orange, Peach, White rose, Hiacynth, Sage, Water lily.
Middle notes: Magnolia, Carnation, Tuberose, Lily, Jasmine (a personal hatred of mine), Lily of the valley, White rose.
Base notes: Tonka bean, Amber, Patchouli, Musk, Vanilla.
What I think of these notes: I SMELL NO FRUITS! I don't get the vanilla, but totally understand the white flowers in this. It just smells like it has too much. Also, looking at these notes now, with jasmine/lily/lily of the valley, I should have realised why I don't really like this scent.... I hate those flowers! (I am not a clever (wo)man)
It isn't terrible though and I have used a 100mL bottle.
I would definately call this a winter scent as the heavy scent will match your wear and the flowers will remind you of warmer times.
Price: 5/5 (very reasonable!)
Season: Winter (this is my own opinion in this section)
Weight: Heavy (I mean as in the 'weight' of the scent... does that make sense?)
Overall possum liking: 2/5
