Fragrance Reviews by lovelylavender

The basenotes remind me of Noa Perle Cacharel a lot. Although Noa Perle is my favorite, there is something about Femme that bugging me. Femme is a beautiful perfume, I believe. But she's constantly bugging me, especially the base notes. It's like she screamed, "Look at me. I'm beautiful."

This is my first contact with Annick Goutal's perfumes since it's not easy to get one of them here in Indonesia. Among what they have: Gardenia Passion, Passion, Eau de Charlotte, I pick this. This one make me fall in love instantly.

It is very simple, I realize. But this one also beautiful. Simple, flowery scent for everyday wear. I can imagine a simple girl, from small city, walking with flower print dress wear this one.

I really love Bali and when Estee Lauder put Bali's name as the title of their new perfume, what a dream come true! I though I have to do all the trouble getting it in the nearest airport (Changi perhaps). But lucky me, someone able to get it for me.

Bali Dream is opened with the mix of Orchid and Ginger (Which remind me of CK Euphoria Blossom.. love it). The mix is right and it will be easily loved. I can imagine a lot of people would give it as a gift (from Bali?). It doesn't smell like Bali too me but it's a crowd pleaser. Going to the heart I smell.... coconut. Wait. There's no coconut in the middle note? It said Pepper, Ylang Ylang, Cassia, Jasmine, Gardenia, Tagete, Plum, Tuberose. But how come I only smell Coconut plus something. As it going to the basenote, the coconut stay strong while the others already said goodbye...

I agree with the previous reviewer that this perfume is too tropical to be categorized as floriental. It's nice. It's pleasureable... but it just don't smell Bali to me. Estee Lauder could just write Coconut Island or Coco Dream or something instead of Bali Dream.

But I still give applause to Estee Lauder. I appreciate them in the same way the appreciate Bali. May more people come to Bali. ^-^ Now I'm waiting for 7:15 am in Bali from Kenzo.

Although it's listed as perfume for romantic moods, I don't think Style is romantic. It's not too girly or feminime. It's for a woman, smart, elegant, intellect. She's classy but not snobby. Really nice, but not my taste.

I don't enjoy the original Euphoria since it's too harsh for tropical area where I live. It is fresh at the beginning and slowly turn to be sensual.

This is definately one of the weirdest perfume I ever smell. For insect repellant, this will suit best. But as a perfume? I can't imagine what kind of person will want to wear this.
If people stop and ask you what perfume do you wear? I'm not sure it could be count as a complement. Maybe they will write Lolita Lempicka under THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T BUY FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD.

PS: Although it had terrible smell, the bottle is gorgeous. This is one of the cutest bottle I ever had.

After smelling so many perfume tester that I had (and got headache because of it), I never thought I would fall for this perfume. But yes, I am. It's all that I want. A not so strong perfume, not too powdery or too feminime, and yet smell so nice that you want to smell your wrist over and over again.
It's quite classy, simple, and absolutely beautiful. Perfect for daily work at the office without annoying your co-workers.

I got the sample when I'm purchasing Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely in Amsterdam.

The smell is not original. It remind me of another perfume which I don't remember. But I like the warm of the smell. It's not nice and clean fragrance. It's still flowery but there's a warm and deepness in the perfume.

If you want a flowery perfume with no innocent sweet smell in it, perhaps, this is the one. Good alternative to wear at night or rainy day.

Similar scents to NOA PERLE: Chloe, Cabotine, Claiborne, Nina, Nicole Miller

Once upon a time, this one my signature scent. It's sweet, nice, without too overpowering. If you want to send a woman a gift, this one is perfect for young woman. You can go wrong with this one.

I always feel pretty without offending anyone with the smell.

The only problem with this one is that too many people use this and I just want to find something new.

a nice pleasant fresh fragrance. It's trully classic and you can not go wrong with this one.

I like the smell, but I don't use it everyday. Somehow, it's so classic that make me older when using this.

another soft romantic floral. It's good, but I may not be able to recognized if it was on someone else. I buy this because I want to switch my Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely. It'a a good alternative, but won't be my signature scent.

It's really nice. The mixture of lavender and musk in a soft sweet way. In fact because of this, I want to stick to the genre, the soft floral subtle perfumes.

Too bad that my friend use this and everytime I wear this, it remind me of her. Not a bad thing, but I couldn't make this as my HG perfume.
