Elie Saab Girl of Now Forever
I picked this one up for 19.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart here in Canada, which I knew was a good deal. I figured that if I didnt like it, I'd just pass it on to someone else and I wouldn't be out too much money.
This scent just didn't work for me. It's far too sweet and cloying for my taste. It's not terrible, it's just way too much. There isn't much development. It's linear, it dries down as the same scent that you first spray on. It literally does smell like straight-up raspberry lemonade but it's sharp and just not smooth enough for my liking. The bottle itself is so pretty, I just wish that the perfume itself was as nice as the bottle. I ended up giving my bottle away so I'm happy that I didn't pay too much for it.
*UPDATE*
5 years on and I re-visited this. Much better in cold weather, it's quite nice in Winter, the sweetness becomes much more toned down with more layers of depth. Wearing this in the heat makes it an unbearable mess.
