The Body Shop - Italian Summer Fig


I don't know if the person who formulated this has ever encountered a fig before.
This smells like coconut.


COCONUT!

Not fig, it isn't even fruity.
It is a good summer scent (coconut is known for this).

But all it needs is a sharpie to fix it:


Done!

Price: 4/5 ($36.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 1/5 (not fig!)

Time lasts: 1-3 hrs
Strength: moderate
Season: Summer
Time: Daytime (11 am - 4 pm)

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

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
Weight: Medium
Overall possum liking: 4/5
