Look Vera Wang 2008

This is not very nice. It starts very soft, caresses the nose with powdery, flowery notes but becomes stronger and prickly during the development. On my skin!

Something irritates my nose. I react to lily, even though I can not differentiate the smell here. It seems to synthetical. The development is quite fast. The base jumps out at me, but not so much the patchouli, which I like a lot, it is more a distinct and tart fern-moss-greenish tint, that produces itself here. Some of the Dzintars mens colognes have these ingredients but not as loud.

I like the dresses that I’ve seen from Vera Wang, but what she’s had mixed together here is not compatible with my perception of beautiful aroma.

This should be worn by modern, self-confident women who are complex and luxurious?
I’d rather stay old-fashioned and one-dimensional, thank you.

Fresh and strong I would say green perfume approprate for summer and spring. Sweetness comes later after half an hour while green notes appear mostly from the very beginning. Long lasting and quite unusual. Bottle and package simple. I think this perfume will never let you down during the heat of the summer. Good choice in a rather competitive price. My first V Wang perume. Overall satisfied even if bought unsmelled.

I can't say that I like this. Look is so unbelievably odd to my nose. I feel as if I've been offended by an overpowering fruity musk.

The apple and litchi make quite a sharp opening, that once settled on the skin, irritates me. I wanted to wash it off as soon as I applied it.

I decided to give this fragrance a chance to develop so I walked around for a bit trying to ignore its strong presence which followed me with an incredible amount of sillage everywhere I went.

The drydown was the only aspect of this scent that I could only just tolerate. I felt uninspired by its mediocre vanilla, musk and patchouli blend.

Unfortunately this fragrance has missed the mark. It horrifies me to say the least.

Today was another sniffing appointment at the perfume dealer.

All the delightful scents of the East and West were spread out on the little tables.

After securing one of my "staples" - No. 19 - just in case it might run out, a bottle with the orange label "Look" was vying for my attention.
It was almost a command, which I obediently followed.
Ms. Wang had already seduced me with Princess - and Look is also worth a glance or a sniff.

My friend joyfully brought her nose to my wrist, nodding eagerly.
And I too let out an appreciative "Look at that!"

The lychee-mandarin opening is so beautifully sunny and bright that one might forget the gray sky.
Freesia and jasmine are as clear as a pond on which a water lily gently floats.
The patchouli adds a soft smokiness, gently warmed by the vanilla.

Autumn sun peeking through the red maple leaves.

Look brightens the mood and even the drizzly weather - and comforted us over the forgotten umbrella.

...this is what this wonderfully summery-light fragrance radiates for me! The mandarin in the opening is beautifully soft, citrusy, and bright on the skin, it takes the sunbeams by the hand and cuddles right into my nose....this is the "scentified" summer for me! No clouds in the sky, blue on blue, as far as the eye can see, the crickets are chirping and there is a pleasant, dry warmth that does good for the mood and simply everything! I would love to have it like this for 10 months a year ;-) the lychee sneaks in just a tiny bit in the background alongside the mandarin, but it can definitely be sensed......this dreamy top note stays very long and pleasantly on my skin...after that, it flows seamlessly into a bouquet dominated by freesias and cooperating with jasmine...I honestly can't find the water lily, but it doesn't matter! My beloved musk-patchouli blend gives it a deep, slightly cozy aspect, the vanilla is hardly noticeable to me, which doesn't bother me since I'm not a big vanilla fan and LOOK thus remains wonderfully unsweet from start to the beautiful finish! The fragrance is rather close to the body, which is delightful on hot days, I can't say anything about the longevity yet, I hope for a long one...One should not overdo LOOK, as it can become slightly biting! Conclusion: a brilliant summer companion that radiates joy of life and extends the most wonderful season a little! Positive side effect....it is available at sensationally low prices, no one knows why that is, but it doesn't matter.....
