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.

Price: 5/5 ($3.92 for 59mL)
Effectiveness: 4/5
Strength: Medium
Lifetime: Medium
Time: Night time
Season: Autumn

BeyoncĂ© 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
This was a little sample bottle I had, I don't normally buy designer things, just to make that clear!

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
