Advantages: Nice smell, good for summer
Disadvantages: a rather confusing change of name

...For starters there is now some confusion about Burberry London - the product pictured is the old 'Burberry London' - launched in 1995, it is now sold under simply the name 'Burberry'. A new fragrence in a bottle covered in checked fabric similar to the 'Burberry Brit' Bottle was released in 2006 called Burberry London, the new fragrence is heavier and more musky, closer to 'Burberry Brit' in smell. This review refers to the old 'Burberry London' - Now just called 'Burberry', it is in a red box, in a bottle with an eye shaped base, with a silver lid. The eau de toilette is applied by spray nozzle, as many EDT's are. In my opinion this gives it longer lasting power than the splash on varieties. Burberry as a brand is often derided for its association with the Chav culture in Britain, many forget that it has been a very high... Read review

Advantages: The smell lasts. Very 'sexy' smell
Disadvantages: More women attracted to him. The price.

...No, really. Forget the title. The aftershave doesn't smell that bad! Just so happens my dog is called Jazz!! Anyway, Live Jazz, made by Yves Saint Laurent, is an Eau De Toiletter vaporisor for men. Costing me £25 for a 50 ml (1.6 fl oz) bottle, I think it's worth every penny! Although I tell my partner to only wear this only on special occasions, I find myself drawn to the cabinet to spray some on him! It comes in a black and white box, with the bottle itself is clear. The smell isn't strong. It's a subtle, sweet smelling fragrance, that leaves the person smelling refreshed, and the women drawing to them like a magnet! Take last night for instance. We decided to go to bingo. So, into the bathroom he went, and out he came wearing just a tad of 'Live Jazz'. Only a small amount is to be applied to the skin to make him... Read review

Advantages: Miss Sixty Eau De Toilette Spray
Disadvantages: Miss Sixty Eau De Toilette Spray

...Miss Sixty Eau De Toilette Spray I do love my perfumes and I think my friends and family are pleased that I am so easy to buy for at birthdays and Christmas. I often like most perfumes and find that each fragrance has a particular time of the year or time of the day where it is suited to. I do of course have my favourites and this Miss Sixty perfume is one of them. I have used up I would say at least 2 or 3 bottles of this stuff since it came out about 3 years ago. This means I must use quite a lot because I have such a wide variety in the bathroom and these Miss Sixty bottles hold a fair bit of the perfume. I am mostly bought perfumes from people and don’t end up having to pay anything for them and I think this bottle is no different. I know that you would be looking at paying between £20 and £20 for a standard... Read review

Advantages: Unusual, unique fragrance, light and stays fresh
Disadvantages: Too light, or too green for some, not very masculine, not very feminine

...fragrances that don't lose their vigour and crispness, this fragrance might be for you whether you're a lady or a man. I do get bored with this scent smelling it all day, but I think, it's me, I never liked watery and entirely green fragrances. A female friend of mine loves Eau de Cartier Concentree though that is a more rounded, stonger version of the scent. Overall, it's a fresh green fragrance, something I'd call a fresh woody aromatic. It's an unusual, unique blend that stays light and clean throughout and is not at all overpowering. This scent only has a sillage in the first couple of hours, then it will stay close to the skin and will be last until 5 - 6 hours. It is an Eau de Toilette so it may not last for the whole day but does last through a shower. Price / where to buy This fragrance has been around since 2001 so... Read review

Advantages: light enticing scent
Disadvantages: turned darker in color after a year

...Cacharel Eau De Eden Eau De Toilette Spray was created by Jean Guichard in 1996. It was launched the same year. Eau de Eden is a lighter version of Eden, that was launched two years after the original scent. I liked Eden a tad more than this. I like the light flowery scent. But its too light i guess to stay on long like lou lou or anais anais which are also cacharel scents. It has the usual Cacharel flowery box but the bottle looks too plain for me. I have a wide array of perfumes so i tend to use a diffrent one every day. I noticed that the liquid inside the bottle turned darker in color after a year. I threw the box and I am not sure if i saw any manufacturing date on it. It could have been an old stock at the shop i that i bought it from. Other than that, I can say that i got what i paid for in buying a bottle... Read review

Advantages: This will make you smell irrisistable
Disadvantages: None i can think of

...you for ages. Here is a little interesting fact. The length of time that a fragrance lasts could also be down to the oiliness of your skin. For instance the more oily your skin the longer it will last as the oils in your skin absorb the fragrance. The ways to make it last are to spray some behind your ears and on the back of your neck. A light spray on the hair also makes the perfume last as we all now hair contains oil. Hope you like this! The bottle looks like a blue packet that has been frozen in ice. It is trendy, innovative and unique. The cologne is in the blue container that is set in the glass ice. (plastic at the back). The overall shape of the bottle is square with frosted glass and the spray is at the back of the container. The bottle was actually based on the work of Laura de Santillana's sculptures of glass...

Advantages: Extremly beneficial plant extract oils.
Disadvantages: Not a particularly femine fragrance.

...~ CLARINS EAU DYNAMISANTE ~ Clarins Eau Dynamisante is a rather unique Eau de Toilette. I tend to go for the much lighter perfume normally, but this was a gift, and you know what they say...Don't look a gift horse...ahem... Eau Dynamisante is presented in a clear, deep, ruby red bottle, rather masculine in appearance, but expensive looking and sturdy. To the top you have a white lid with the word Clarins raised in gold, and gold banded to the bottom of the lid. The contents is 100 ml/3.4 FL.OZ. 77%VOL. Now this is rather an unusual fragrance, being both a perfume, and a skin treatment. It contains plant extracts to soften, energise, and hydrate the skin. It also firms, tones, and revitalises. This is quite an innovative range, and all the essential oils contained within this fragrance... Read review

Advantages: An expensive smell
Disadvantages: Cologne type fragrance.

...--- CHRISTIAN DIOR EAU SAUVAGE.--- Eau Sauvage Eau de Toilette comes in a rather nice bottle. It has swirly ridges all around the glass. To the middle it has a silver band with the Eau Sauvage written in black writing, along with the maker Christian Dior, Paris. To the reverse you have the weight of 50 ml and parfums Christian Dior Paris. Made in France. The lid is silver and mottled in effect, which is also on the silver band around the centre of the bottle. This is a good quality bottle, as you would expect from a top fashion house such as Christian Dior. Very distinctive, and it is a nice bottle to keep once the after shave has run out. Perfume bottles are highly collectable and it would be worth keeping good ones such as these, as they appreciate in value greatly. Christian Dior do an impressive... Read review
