Pleasing Powdery, Vanilla & Woods Overtake The Leathery Florals & Spices
Seeing Adam Levine's fragrance I was intrigued. After all, the frontman of Maroon 5 is incredibly sexy (at the least to me) and I was curious what he would slap his moniker on and call his own in today's world of celebrity fragrances. Would it be sex in a bottle?
The first time I splashed it on , I did indeed, smell sexual skin. Was my mind deluding me? Perhaps. But this is a skin scent. I'd say it is the Indian Jasmin that's responsible for the animalic smell I was getting. There's a bit of leather going on here and Saffron is the culprit there. Adam Levine for Women is a pleasing, powdery, vanilla, sandalwood skin scent. Hours later, light sweet florals make their way in and announce themselves. The leather and florals may make an entrance, but they stay in the corner most of the time, talking to the spices.
The longer this sits on me, the more powdery and woodsy it becomes. It's not a fragrance to dazzle but more a perfume to relax with, to enjoy pleasantly and one to wear in cooler weather with blazers, open neck shirts and scarfs tossed nonchalantly.
It's soft and feminine and its projection is close to the skin. Share it at times you want to be close with someone. Its lasting power is quite good-minimal four hours.
Simple rectangular bottle with the name emblazoned across it with a pretty cap. Perhaps layering it will bring out the sillage, I don't know, but there are sets available. This is a designer fragrance that reminds me of Flowerbomb or Hypnotic Poison(not as spicy) on its drydown for me.

A Bargain Sandalwood Fragrance
On paper this smells just like, and only like, sandalwood to me. But on skin is when the transformation begins. It becomes resinous, spicy, a little floral, a little sweet, with a lovely creamy woodiness. Though I'm sure there is not a smidgen of real sandalwood here, I am very impressed with how natural they've managed to imitate that note. It's really just perfect.
Despite that, I still find the overall composition a little too low key and not as complex as something like vintage Samsara, which I prefer and is my standard to judge other sandalwood fragrances by. To be fair, I really haven't tried all that many sandalwood fragrances to be the best judge of that, but I do know what I like, and I love all the many facets of Samsara that is lacking here. While this is simple in comparison, I still like it, and think it will make a nice “I don't know what to wear today” dumb reach, (Oy, I have way too many of them already), as it is safe and sure not to offend anyone. It's also totally unisex and would work great as a layering fragrance too.
Though this perfume is very cheap, it doesn't smell cheap, and I was amazed with the packaging. It's very well done. The lid of the bottle is shaped like a microphone, which is a really cute touch and very fitting for a singer's fragrance. I've purchased much more expensive perfumes, some actually niche, that weren't nearly half as well thought out (and smelled plenty of niche perfumes that didn't smell nearly half as nice either). So, you are certainly getting a bang for your buck with this one.
Overall, while I'm glad to have tried this fragrance, if I had to do it over, I would take a pass on buying a bottle as I don't think I'll be using this much in the future. But since a small bottle only put me out for little more than the price of a sample, I'm not complaining.

Adam Levine for Women
I've tested this one out a couple of times now. I can't stand the men's version but I admit that this women's version is better than that one. I still don't see this fragrance as being anything really outstanding though. It's pleasant enough, but nothing really special. For some reason I can smell gardenia in this, yet it doesn't seem to have gardenia in it. I am not a gardenia fan by any means. I usually find it too strong and overpowering and I don't like that I'm detecting it here. There are very few fragrances who manage to incorporate gardenia just right so it blends in instead of standing out. This perfume seems generic to my nose and a tad boring. In a sea of sweet-fruity-floral celebrity fragrances, this one does stand out as being different but unfortunately something seems to be missing that could have made it totally unique and wonderful. For me, this one is not "full bottle purchase" worthy.
*UPDATE*
After additional testing of this one, my opinion has changed. Definitely suited for cold weather, gives off "niche" vibes but be careful on the trigger, too many sprays of this and you'll be choking everyone around you, including yourself!
You can buy a big bottle of this online for dirt cheap but it should be tested first as this won't be a crowd pleaser. I'm happy that I came back to it and gave it a second chance. Sometimes it pays to wait awhile and re-visit a fragrance after a first impression.

Budget sandalwood
It is a sweet floral sandalwood scent, but I'd prefer if it was heavier in the sandalwood. it becomes predominantly floral with time. The quality of the ingreients is not the best, but it is what can be expected in this price point.

Overall, quite good quality for the price, but the balance of the notes and accords in the aroma could be improved.

Dark, old church
This reminds me of a church from my childhood. Woody pews. Faint smokey incense with a hint of spice. Dim candlelight. Flowers that are slightly wilting. The organ playing softly. Someone nearby wearing too much baby powder.

Not really unpleasant, but not a scent I reach for. Best suited for the winter. Not blind buy worthy.

Lovely and rich. Smells more expensive than it is. Perfect for winter.

Surprisingly similar to "HARD CANDY", which is also (un)surprisingly dirt-cheap. This amps up the (effervescent, candied) oranges, though.
