Choose Chi Chi - Eau de Parfum - French Rose

This is a straight rose scent. 
Some will call it 'old lady'-ish, but I find it nice.

This doesn't have a Fragrantica entry.

The official website does list the notes as rose (yes), gardenia (no), ylang ylan (nope!), amber (where?!), and musk (nope!).


Price: 5/5 ($19.95 for 50mL)
Effectiveness: 4/5
Strength: Moderate
Lifetime: Moderate
Time: Daytime
Season: Autumn

Rexona - Impulse - Romantic Spark - Body Spray

This  is a nice woody, floral scent that isn't overbearing.
However it wears off so fast! :(

Fragrantica lists the notes jasmine (nope!), grapefruit (maybe just a touch), violet (yes), woodsy notes (yes), vanilla (yes), musk (yes).

Price: 5/5 ($4.99 for 75mL)
Effectiveness: 3/5

Essence of Beauty - Secret Woods - Body Mist

I picked this up when I was in the U.S. a while ago.

The scent, while being called 'Secret Woods' is mostly vanilla and musk.

I was expecting more aquatic notes XP

Fragrantica lists the notes as: 

Top Notes: red apple (no), pomegranate (no), quince (no)
Middle Notes: jasmine (no), violet (maybe), chocolate (no)
Base Notes: vanilla (yes), musk (yes), woodsy notes (yes)

Only listen to the base notes, the rest make no sense.

Time: Night time
Season: Autumn

Same Product, Different Scent - The Body Shop - Smoky Poppy - Eau de Toilette

The Body Shop - White Musk - Smoky Rose - Eau de Toilette

This smells like musk, rose and a hint on incense.

It is a really nice floral smell without being overbearingly floral (a concept I don't personally understand).

Fragantica lists the notes as

Top Notes: bergamot (nope), pink pepper (maybe), black currant (nope)
Middle Notes: tobacco blossom (no idea), black rose (yes), immortelle (yes), orange blossom (nope)

Versace - Crystal Noir - Eau de Toilette

This is quite a unisex scent!
It is very heavy in green notes, with green florals, musk, incense, sap, some spice, and lavender.

This is a Autumn night in a well-cared for garden.
This is moths dancing around a street lamp as you move from one great party (for +25 year olds) to the next.
This is that spark of electricity in the air when the weather turns.

It is a strong scent as well.

Fragrantica lists the notes as

Top Notes: ginger, cardamon, pepper. (agree with all of these)
Middle Notes: orange blossom, peony, gardenia, coconut. (agree)
Base Notes: sandalwood, amber, musk. (agree, but it has smokiness)

Price: 1/5 ($140 for 90mL, I have a tiny sample bottle!)
Scent: 5/5
Season: Autumn
Strength: Strong
Time: Nighttime

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

Vera Wang - Princess - Perfume

This perfume is so lovely, even my mother likes it! (and she usually doesn't have strong feelings about many things)

To me, this purple delight, smells of vanilla... just sweet vanilla

Fragrantica lists the notes as follows:
Top notes - apricot, mandarin, apple, water lily
Middle notes - tuberose, guava, dark chocolate, tiare flower
Base notes - amber, vanilla, woodsy notes

I would say this perfume lasts a moderate amount of time (longevity), is of moderate strength (sillage) and would suit autumn and/or the afternoon the best.

This is such a beautiful scent... I am so tempted to repurchase it!

Price: 3/5 (rrp $89 for 100mL, but you can often get it for ~$30)
Season: Autumn
Weight: Medium
Overall possum liking: 5/5
