Be Ready To Get Munched On!

Yesterday I finally decided to pick this one up, 125ML for a bargain. The chocolate, vanilla and orange notes listed made me want to try it, even blind, since the store doesn't have testers for this scent. Luckily for the price/value/amount I don't mind trying a blind buy. I have liked/loved every Elizabeth Arden I own so far.

When sprayed it's a bit harsh for a minute or so, than the most soft praline smell wafts from my wrists. Hmmm vanilla is teaming up and jasmine, freesia and musk join too and complete the happy dance on my wrists. I like it! I have also discovered that this scent is divine when layered over the chocolate or coconut body butters from The Body Shop.
Gourmand heaven with a floral garden in the middle! *YUM* As mentioned below, to my nose too, it is similar to Bvlgari Notte. And for a steal of the Bvlgari price!

The name 5th Avenue Nights might give the impression that this is a scent to go dancing or enter the night-life with. Well, of course one could -the scent is very yummy and attractive to others as well- but to me it's more of a comfy cozy date scent or sleep-over ;-) scent. I guarantee you will be 'munched on' with this chocolate/floral beauty. Thank God I have 125ML!

Silage is: "You have entered a bonbon store with a huge vase of seductive florals in the middle" - Longevity depends on how many sprays: on me 4+ hours with 2 sprays.

PS

I know some people find the Avenue bottles ugly, I don't. They remind me of a modern version of the square art deco Chanel model. Not that the bottle matters THAT much, but the eye (and my vanity table) like to enjoy the fragrance experience too : )

Shopping tour fragrance

Some fragrances don't suit your taste, style nor chemistry, but you can still appreciate it has to offer, and 5th Avenue Nights was such one for me. A blind purchase based on a few less reliable 'reviews' elsewhere, it was different from anything I had chosen as my personal fragrance till now and required some time to get used to, but within a year, my nose and I had become accustomed to it and even like it.

At initial spray, I was hit by a strangely plastic smell, followed by sour citrus which stood out on the creamy, milky background, not as smooth as I had expected from the feedbacks. Fortunately, the plastic smell subsided after the first minutes, leaving it all for the vanilla, musk and white chocolate to create a heady, lemony milk (almost butter) cream scent with sprinkled coconut flakes - coconut isn't listed, but there is some fatty tone underneath the vanilla sweetness like that of coconut fruit.

However, despite such edible notes, this is not a 'gourmand' fragrance, and those looking for such would be disappointed: It is a musky, clean white floral (taken from the original 5th Avenue) with a twist of fluffy, creamy vanilla, never losing a certain edge, be it by cyclamen which isn't my favourite and tends to be perceived stronger.

Although discontinued, this is a nice everyday fragrance while it still is around, an affordable, non-stuffy casual floral with good longevity of over 8 hours on my skin, and longer on my clothes.

On a side note, the 'modern' type of musky cleanness in this fragrance for me does really recall some shopping tours in polished, perfectly air-conditioned department stores - so, while the 'Nights' part of its naming may not be fitting, the 'city flair'-allusion is met indeed.

The Queen of the Night

During my first test, I thought exactly like Ingepetra. I just sprayed a little on a test strip. Now I let it touch my skin - and was rewarded. I am very enthusiastic.

At the start, it smells very zesty and sweet. Then it becomes more floral. In the base, you can still perceive it subtly, but the scent develops wonderfully creamy and warm. The vanilla is only slightly noticeable, which I find delightful in this case. I keep sniffing myself - I could just kiss myself right now...

I am very taken with the scent and find it by no means boring. In my opinion, the fragrance is very elegant and timeless. Normally, I am skeptical when there is a "Night/After Dark/Very Dark/Even Darker" version of any perfume, because I think this rarely succeeds: you take the original perfume and make it significantly sweeter. Voila - the night version is ready. In this case, however, the experiment has turned out very well. A noble drop!

My Non-Office Office Scent :-)

Today, I was once again struck by the blind-buy frenzy. At TK Maxx, the perfume prices can be so tempting that you just HAVE to seize the opportunity! Normally, I quickly check the offered fragrances on Parfumo via my smartphone to see their ratings and ingredients, to avoid falling into a trap. But today, unfortunately, the battery gave out. So, I gathered my courage and simply bought the 100 ml for a mere €16.95 :-)
And this time, I wasn't disappointed. The scent isn't particularly extravagant, but it's not ugly either. For me, the white floral notes clearly dominate, with the woody notes only making an appearance at the very end. The fragrance is neither too sweet nor too overpowering; it has something clear about it, but also something impersonal. It strongly reminds me of Noah, which I used to like a lot.
If I were to wear perfume in the office, I would probably say it's perfect for the office. But I don't, because it would distract me too much and probably others as well. Just imagine if my Addict cloud mixed with my colleague's Angel cloud, and the Angel cloud with another colleague's Samsara cloud, and so on and so forth :-)
So, it will simply be my unobtrusive summer scent for chilling.

not extraordinary

I just tested it at Rossmann, it's on sale this week.

Well, let's put it this way, I really expected more from this name.

Yes, it smells good, also subtly, but it's nothing special.

The top and heart notes quickly fade away, leaving only a subtle: sweet

Unfortunately, it didn't blow me away, which is what I had actually hoped for.

I recommend it to ladies who are reserved and don't want to stand out.

It's not suitable for very young girls, it lacks the zest, the pep.
