100% Frozen METAL - WITHOUT QUESTION.
Ignore literally EVERYTHING you see in the notes pyramid.
The notes are: METAL!!! #1 = pure, sprayable, frozen metal. PERIOD. In the extremely-distant background, some citruses are detectable. Removing "METAL" from the notes pyramid is A BALD-FACED LIE because Al Rehab Silver IS SPRAYABLE METAL, PERIOD. I stake my LIFE ON IT.

Elevated and Delicate
Paris Hilton Ruby Rush EDP will surprise your olfactory palate, presenting as a genie inside her kitschy, gaudy bottle that's just as silly as any blushing young girl, but once you apply this, you're met with a delicate, other-worldly hibiscus cream-puff created by and for the divine only.
"Ruby Rush" is so uniquely beautiful that you almost want to feel guilty at such indulgent beauty, such sweet and innocent pleasure that transcends space and time, keeping you aware of happiness itself with cranial/ emotional room for nothing else.
Ruby Rush, this delicate floral cream puff extradorinaire in the tastelessly adorable bottle, deserves a place in any sweetly diverse collection and then some.
Light to moderate in sillage, projection, longevity.

Subtle and Sublime, a thousand percent gourmand
I received this one (a 100ml, full) from a swapping partner and, at first, though I've loved the fragrance itself from the first moment, at first, this subtle beauty was too soft and gentle for my preferences (to wit, I typically prefer far heavier, louder fare such as La Vie Est Belle, et cetera). So I wore it one night after a shower, and then ignored it for a week until I found myself inexplicably drawn to her again, pulled in by the beauty of that gently, masterfully-nuanced confection.
So (for me) she opens as a sweet, buttery pastry and holds her strength for about twenty solid minutes before turning into a coco-nutty milk skin-scent (which, though close, then lasts for many hours afterward).
Therefore, I appreciate this confection for what she is: subtle. gentle. artfully-nuanced. cozy. sublime. perfect.

Sunshine in a bottle!
I first had this fragrance about three years ago and, though I liked it, for some reason, I gave it away. However, three years later it kept crossing my mind because, as extensive as my massive collection is, nothing else smells quite like this one.
Now, the notes here are lacking the one called "Solar Notes" - a note that is very prominent here indeed. That note, combined with the fruits, meet to create what is to me "Sunshine in a Bottle". It's just glorious! So sweet, juicy from the fruit, and uplifting, Hollister Wave for Her is optimistic, youthful, bright, and beautiful. Light to moderate performance in all regards; right now in the US it's very inexpensive! If you enjoy sweet, fruity fragrances, then this is probably a safe blind-buy for you. I don't ever want to be without it again.

La Vie est Belle, or "Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication" - DaVinci
I felt a review was in order as LVEB has become my signature fragrance.

I guess you can say I like the basics; basic like a string of pearls, a well-tailored black suit, and tasteful black leather stilettos. This is the type of "basic" that I perceive of La Vie est Belle.

The composition opens with an enveloping sweetness that somehow manages a concurrent delicacy; like a dancing ballerina, she seems frail but her bones and musculature are strong and true, vibrant and ready. Don't mistake her dexterity for mere frivolity; on the contrary: feminine, sweet, rich and decadent, if you're looking for a candied personal scent cloud, give LVEB a go. This composition is very artfully, masterfully, and deliberately engineered to be precisely what she is.

I heard a YouTube reviewer say in description of this fragrance, something like "La Vie est Belle is basic but it's basic done to perfection". I concur with her wholeheartedly; this treasure has conquered me completely and I say that without shame, dazzled by the sheer beauty of this simple, yet iconic fragrance.

If she loves you (as she loves me - my chemistry, that is) - she will love you passionately and completely.
Fragrance: Still a 10/10.
Performance including projection, sillage, and longevity: 10/10
Value: Superb. To me, worth so much more than present asking prices, I'm grateful to have fallen for this attainable, simply beautiful basic.

I am eternally mesmerized.
