Love her Madly!

Revlon's Love Her Madly is a very popular fragrance here. It is inexpensive yet likable. Floral this fragrance certainly is. It tends to be soft and warm with a slight hint of powdery-ness. Love Her Madly does smell of roses, however these are powdery pink roses, rather like rose-scented talcum powder. The mandarin orange stands out for me in the top notes, and quite obviously the rose note dominates the heart. Lilac and ylang-ylang are subtle additives that provide a very feministic floral quality. I quite like the drydown which consists of musky sandalwood and vanilla. The musk in Love Her Madly is definitely not an understatement, it is indeed very musky, dusty in a sense. I find this rose fragrance suitable for anyone above the age of twenty. It has a soapy and powdery quality that makes it that little old-fashioned and quaint. I like classic, almost ancient type smells, so this fragrance suits me well. The lasting power is fairly average and the sillage is intimate rather than loud. Love Her Madly is for any lover of rose. And a cheap alternative at that.

Valentina Assoluto

Valentina Assoluto is one of the new fragrances by Valentino.  The perfume smells of white floral with a hint of vanilla. It reminds me of something from a mysterious land and transports you to a secretive and mythical time.

If you like fragrances by Valentino then you might like this scent, however it has deviated from the other scents that represent Valantino. The designer and creator of the fragrance, Olivier Cresp, designed this creation for evening wear, allowing for a perfect evening of fragrant bliss.

The packaging is as pretty as the smell and it represents all that is feminine. If you love perfume and enjoy your nights out, then this is an ideal wear!
