Firstly, I absolutely love the way the perfume is described on the packaging. It literally is described exactly the way it is.
The bottle is beautiful and the black perfume just adds to its beauty.

When I sprayed this liquid on my wrist, it immediately changed colour and I could immediately smell the strong fragrance.
When I got into my boyfriend's car, he looked at me and said "well hello Lady Gaga" :P

All over this is a great perfume, just a little pricy though.

Lilith.

This black fragrance claims to turn transparent when airborne, but when I sprayed it on my wrist, I could see some of the black liquid. I wonder what would happen to white clothing...

Anyway, it really has a pleasant, but unique floral sweetness to it, mainly because of its push-pull technology, which allows you to experience a delicate blend of all the special ingredients at once. It didn't last long though and wasn't as strong as I thought it might be. People may say that it is pricey, but I think it's averagely priced for a celebrity fragrance. It also reminds me very much of Gorgeous by Yardley.

I can't exactly say if I love it or not, but it definitely is very different and something worth trying. Perfect for those mysteriously mystical and subtly sexy women out there willing to try something new.

P.S. Big thanks to BB for sending me a sample. Really appreciate it. :)

Being naturally curious by nature, I could not wait to test-spray this revered, magic potion, which is as black as a raven's wing & it's contents as mystical as a witches brew. With a measure of trepidation, I took a deep breath & sprayed, as the mist cleared, a fiery, alluring and magnificent fragrance emerged. I am "hooked for life".lady Gaga has a winner.

Wow, I couldn't wait to review Lady Gaga's perfume. Its been an hour since I've tried it on and I'm so excited, it smells divine, its soft and sweet. I feel so fresh. I was not her biggest fan, and I was scared to try on her perfume when I got it, but I've changed my minds, and I want to buy it. This perfume is something that I wan to wear during the day and at night.

I'm so happy to have tried this perfume, I have been looking to add on my collection and I think in all the fragrances I have, Lady Gaga might be beating all of them...Lol, but I have to say, this perfume will see like hot cakes. I'm loving it and well done to her. Thank you Beauty Bulletin! You are the best :)

I must admit, I was not too enthusiastic about testing Lady Gaga's perfume, even typing her name sends a shiver down my spine *drama*, but I must admit, I was more curious about seeing the first ever black coloured perfume than I was about the actual fragrance.
On my first spray of the perfume, I expected a black liquid to be visible, bad sadly the excitement faded as there was only a slight, very slight tint of black which was quickly absorbed by my skin. The fragrance is surprisingly sweet, probably like Lady Gaga off stage and out of costume. It reminds me a bit of a very signature scent - Angel by Thierry Mugler - but it does not have that sickly sweetness to it.
My Husband actually joked and said that I should be wary of anything that comes from Lady Gaga, it might contain animal blood or a wart of an ogre. I laughed saying it was already too late while reading online what the ingredients were. And true to Gaga form this is what one website has to say about Gaga's new type of crazy (*caution when reading, some truly scary things*):

According to The Daily Mail, the mixture, which is black like the “soul of fame,” but quickly turns invisible when you spray it on your skin (also like fame,) contains some of Gaga’s DNA. You can literally wear her DNA on your body and in your hair!
“It was taken out of my own blood sample, so it’s a sense of having me on your skin. I wanted to extract sort of the feeling and sense of blood and semen from molecular structures, so that’s where [the rumors] came from. That is in the perfume, but it doesn’t smell like that. Actually, the perfume smells like an expensive hooker.”
According to the list of ingredients printed on the box, Fame smells like:
“Tears of Belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea, with a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot, and, the combinative essences of saffron and honey drops.”

You decide....

I was VERY biased when I received this perfume. If there is one celebrity perfume I didn’t want, it was Lady Gaga’s. I am not a huge fan, and I imagined the perfume would be very strong and masculine. But how wrong I was! When I sprayed it on, I was immediately surprised by the soft, sweet scent. Unlike many other perfumes (with a base, middle and top note), the scent does not change, but stays the same and just settles to a softer fragrance. I couldn’t believe how feminine it was. It’s sweet, but without offending the nose. I risk making perfume-purists angry when I say it reminds me of Hoity Toity! It stays on quite long, and even after I took a bath, it seems a whole new burst of fragrances erupted! It is definitely one of my favourite fragrances. (By the way, just an interesting fact: Belladonna is considered one of the most important of the homeopathic remedies. It's excellent for the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and nervous system.)

I wear perfumes regardless of whom they are marketed to, i believe a lot of fans buy celebrity fragrances as a token of commitment or just a souvenir, reports had it that she wanted her fragrance to be based on blood and semen, well this lovely fragrance doesn't smell like blood or semen at all, have to give her credit for creating a unsuspected rather interesting fragrance that will be the talk of the town in celeb ville, this is only my opinion, i don't know why but i was expecting a very loud type of smell, but what a wonderful surprise to discover that this fragrance has a devilish naughty musky smell, it reminds me of flowers, incense everything that has a erotic smell, i personally think this amazing black juice was created to bring out the naughty side in a women, and to be honest in a way if you think of it a women has a musky smell to her, so maybe that's where the semen part comes in. I will definitely purchase this fragrance, as for longevity it lasted 8 hours on my skin so you are going to get value for your money investing in this wonderful fragrance. My rating a definite 5* Fragrance and comes with my recommendation.

The moment has officially come for me to give my review on Lady Gaga’s Fame perfume.

When i saw the images on the internet, I was veryskeptical, to say the least about this fragrance. For the hype Gaga gave it, it seemed that the perfume was just ooooook, not what i expected from a dark celeb

Fame is the first “black” perfume, when sprayed, will go on on your skin clear. According to the Sephora website:

“Embrace Lady Gaga Fame, the sultry, black eau de parfum. First of its kind in fluid technology, it is black like the soul of Fame but invisible once airborne. This black fluid exudes a lustful, floral, fruity essence for fabulous little monsters.”

As for the fragrance itself, there is no “blood and semen” as Gaga originally claimed there would be. It’s your basic fruity floral with a hint of sweetness. If that’s your thing, you will probably like this fragrance. For all the hype it’s really not that special.

Get it if you want to get in on the cool Gaga Factor, but don’t expect anything special. Even for those that like fruity florals, this one is pretty standard fare. If you are like me and like “bigger” fragrances this is definitely not going to appeal to you.

THE LADY GAGA FAME:

The innovations in this perfume goes beyond the black-to-clear fluid. It has a unique fragrance with floral and fruity elements, which give this perfume a signature scent. With that said, this is my journey with FAME:

I collected my parcel at the post office and sprayed a bit on my wrist. Fruity vapours surrounded me, then slightly sweet and powdery waves with a hint of spices. It was definitely feminine, in fact, it smelled a bit like a few other perfumes released in the past few years for women and girls. REALLY??! This was it? I was a bit crestfallen, but decided to give it a chance anyway. There was something lurking sensually and somewhat darkly underneath: nothing as sinister or “noir” as the black fluid (which does dry clear) and vaguely alien talons alluded to, but something enticing and deliciously dirty that was not blatant, but did make me feel as if someone had just came off with a rather witty double entendre.

After having a bath that evening, I sprayed it again, it smelled much the same as the scent strip had. Only now the generic fruitiness was more berry-like with whispers of booziness. The floral aspect that appeared as sugary violets (earlier) bloomed into a scorched orchid and haughty jasmine combination. I wear perfumes regardless of whom they are marketed to, but this was definitely on the femme side of the scale…maybe too much. It came to my attention that this was constructed without the typical “scent pyramid” (no base, heart or top notes) and used a “push/pull” technology created by three accords: a lighter one, a darker one and a sensual. I also learned that it could be changed by “rubbing it out”. I figured why not?

I reapplied again “rubbing it out” and, to my great surprise, it WAS different! A smoky silken incense came to the fore and the saffron was readily apparent. A deliciously naughty musk flirted with my nostrils and the tart berry accord of the previous wearing had somehow magically morphed into a more golden honey drizzled apricot accented by a bitter green (deadly nightshade?). There was definitely more to this perfume than first meets the nose. It was still sweet, only now it was more unisex and oriental-as opposed to the usual fruity floral that I had first been rather disappointed over. It seems this perfume has revamped a rather tired and trite classification and gave it it’s own trappings and unique style. Brava!!

FAME, has broken no new ground. It has, however, taken some old ground and created a rather interesting arrangement with it. Breaking the mould of the typical celebrity scent structure, creating a really interesting flacon and juice that echoes with feelings of fame, and how it’s perceived while also creating something that has two very different aspects to it. I have worn FAME continuously for the last 24 hours, which should say more than these words ever, could. It takes a while sometimes for people to really “grasp” (completely understand and appreciate) something but when you finally do…all the time spent makes it worthwhile. Will this be an instant classic? Maybe. Is it worth the money? Absolutely!

I've always been a good girl and have never been one to go out and misbehave. But Lady Gaga's new fragrance 'Fame' changed all of that.... When i finally used some of the scent, I wasn't the normal angel that I've always been, my wings broke and i became a Sexy dark Goddess.

When the first news of Lady Gaga's new fragrance, 'FAME', was released it was rumored that the fragrance was going to smell like blood and semen, ingredients that can influence and create little monsters all around the world.

The flavors, however, boasts of Apricot, Orchidea and belladonna, which brings out the sexy, dark, sweet and mysterious side in you... exactly like an angel fallen from heaven without her wings. The unique fragrance makes you feel exotic, toxic and slightly naughty, as if you are able to bewitch those around you with your new found confidence. The fragrances in 'FAME' all represent a different aspect of this bewitching scent. The 'tears of Belladonna', with its haunted characteristics and toxic traits, brings out the bewitching darkness from within a person. Whereas the sweetness of the apricot, incense, honey & Tiger Orchidea calms the strong toxic scent of the Belladonna.

The dramatic oval-shaped bottle which conceals this bewitching black liquid is black with a golden claw covering the top. The first glance of the liquid is very disturbing, as it is a shocking black colour. But after applying it on a yourself, it is clear. This is only due to the amazing technology which is used by Coty in the development of 'Fame', which allows the black liquid to turn clear when it's airborne.

I do not usually purchase a perfume as exciting as this, but i would definitely consider getting this fragrance and would recommend it to anyone who is interested. This is a powerful scent which does not fade very easily, even after a shower you are still able to smell a slight sweetness from the scent. This truly is a fragrance for any occasion.

The look and feel of the bottle may fool you into thinking that there's evil inside but what comes out is all sweetness and an absolutely divine breath taking experience. As monsteress as Lady Gaga may seem her EDT is a really classy scent that sure would sweep any guy of his feet. Perfect scent for any occasion, its well worth the buy.

A mixture of curiosity, excitement and skepticism was what I felt when I opened "Fame". The black bottle, which makes it impossible to see the liquid inside, made me nervous as to what to expect. After spraying the perfume I expected something weird or even funky.

But to my absolute pure delight the smell that came out of the bottle was fantastic! The sweet smelling perfume is a great twist with the pure black bottle. The only word that I can use to describe this perfume is "unique". And don't be alarmed by the black colour! It goes clear on the skin and no one will know that it's there.

This unique sweet smelling perfume is long lasting and not heavy. Perfect for day and night. Gaga nailed this perfume, inside and out. Little Monsters worldwide will be running to get their paws on this!!!

I expected a funny smelling liquid aimed at “Monsters” who used it to try to be unique or different. I was pleasantly surprised. Its sweet, and fruity and so summery.

I was completely fooled! I suppose this is the unique and different element that Lady Gaga used in this product.

Apart from the scent, the colour of the liquid is like no other. The little black droplets turn transparent in moments and it’s just another special, fun aspect of this perfume. Watching this happen, and then getting a whiff of the sweetness makes a few moments in the morning a tiny experience, and not just a part of a dull routine.

The entire product, chosen by Lady Gaga is completely out of the box, and while the scent is easily loved by all, the uniqueness is 100% true to her. There will be no mistaking it.

Love it!

From the depths of the ocean, far into the amazon jungle comes a fragrance unlike any other, 'FAME' by Lady Gaga. Just like in her music, Lady Gaga has outdone herself again with fragrance and ofcourse it being the first black eau du parfume ever make it even more special. It's fun, funky, crazy and beautiful just like her. I am totally 'GAGA' over this fragrance.
The smell is so unique; at first 'scent' it invigorates my senses, lifts my mood and whisks me off to a place of nothing but 'FAME' and pleasure. In the words of Gage herself 'You will smell like an expensive hooker'.
I simply love this fragrance. 'Fame' is for the woman on the move, loves tp be adored and naturally beautiful. Cannot wait to get my hand of the 100ml version. Thanks everyone

Gaga was involved in everything: the bottle design, the colour of the juice (black), and particularly the fragrance notes. Usually you have a pyramid: a top, middle, and base note.But Fame has things happening all at the same time the ingredients interact together to highlight different notes at the same time without the need of the traditional fragrance hierarchy.So her personality is reflected in it.

3 smells are present.First you have : madness, which is the belladonna/saffron/incense business you smell on first spray. 'Belladonna is a tiny, shiny fruit. You can eat the fruit, but the seeds are poisonous. And the saffron and incense create darkness.' Then there's 2: pleasure, which is a combo of honey and apricot. 'This is not the typical sweetness you see all the time. It's a little bit like skin.3: glory, a creamy jasmine and orchid situation, which makes Fame especially feminine.

Initially their were rumors about blood,gummy worms and semen notes but they were just rumours.
The smell is dominantly fruity with a hint of floral, citrus and musk.Its slight muskiness makes it versatile and unisex.
Just as Lady Gaga is a mix of light, darkness, and sensuality, so too is her first fragrance Fame. The Fame fragrance represents the pleasure and madness, glory and decadence, power and anger, freedom and obsession of Fame. Fame speaks not only to Lady Gaga's millions of little monsters, but also to the young women everywhere who seek to experience new technology and glamour and femininity of and extremely wearable and unique fragrance.
The bottle is designed egg shaped with an gold claw top, which is meant to resemble a paw. "Paws up" is Lady Gaga's way of saying stand up and be proud of who you are, so the paw not only a clever design, but a symbol for her fans as well.

It's a black liquid, the first of its kind, that chemically transforms to be clear after it is sprayed. it also does not stain white clothing as i tested that out.
The lasting power is not great as the scent faded after 3 hours and i had to put my wrist under my nose just to get a light faint smell which is not what you expect from an EDP but rather a EDT so reapplying it is neccessary. I love perfumes but am really fussy about which ones i like. i dont really like it as i like sweet smelling or floral or powdery scents and tend to stay away from the fruity or citrus types which is the category it falls into. I would not go and purchase this but i am sure if you are a lady gaga fan this will definately be something you will buy

Based on the modern, dark and sexy packaging and the edgy Lady Gaga persona I was expecting a heavy, smoky and dark fragrance. Lady Gaga Fame is not at all what I was expecting, its sweet and girly with a subtle hint of incense and saffron. It reminds me of a younger fresher version of Agent Provocateur. Its really pleasant and easy to wear for day time. The initial spritz is sweet and floral and as it warms up I get more spicy incense notes. The sillage is not bad but at the end of a 12hr day the only note remaining is that of honey. This is a great perfume for spring and autumn but I would prefer something less sweet for the summer heat and a fragrance with more depth and intensity in winter. The black fluid is very interesting and I'm still amazed every time I spray it and goes from black to transparent. If this perfume really describes Lady Gaga's personality then there is much more to her than meets the eye.

Fame, the excitement that lead up to the review of this perfume caused high expectations of the product itself. Without a name or even a hint of the type of fragrance I was expecting I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
Firstly the bottle, the elegance that one sees when looking at it encapsulated one of the elements in the fragrance itself. The simplicity of the gold and black contrasts represents an effortlessly beautiful woman.
When one thinks of lady Gaga, not simply her appearance but the demand that goes into being a performer can be tiresome. However, this fragrance is for powerfully mobile women of the 21st century. Furthermore one of the most important things when it comes to a fragrance for me is that it needs to last long. So I did a test.
The application was done at 11am and well into the evening around 10pm to be exact, my friends and family were still noticed that I was wearing a fragrance. That being said the fragrance itself is vibrant and flowery, but with subtle tones of night time elegance. And therefore can easily be taken from day to night time wear.
I’m really a lotion kind of girl but this fragrance makes it easy for me to feel naturally beautiful and fresh, throughout the day.

The first thing that came to my mind when I sprayed this on.....
I feel like I'm relaxing in a Turkish bath smelling the luxurious soap they use and having candy on ropes swinging around :-)

Then I had to spray it again and see the black fluid on my skin change color to nothing LOL

Went shopping and felt on top of the world, sniffing the scent in. Rushed home to spray on more and relaxed on my bed enjoying the moment.

I LOVE IT

Its not overwhelming and doesn't make me sneeze.

IT'S FAME and it's GAGA's FAME!

The bottle design is super sexy. I have to get one to add it to my collection ASAP!

Fame is an aromatic representation of Lady Gaga: shocking in appearance but sweet to the core.

Not overbearing in the least, the apricot, saffron and incense notes make it the perfect fragrance for summer. It's definitely moved the top of my must-buy list!

Most celeb fragrances fail to impress me, they almost always are overly sweet, have a short-lived intensity and turn into a faint sour smell after and hour of two.

After all of the outrageous statements Lady Gaga made regarding the development of her first personal fragrance, I mean who could forget the "blood and semen" comment, this perfume is surprisingly grown-up.

I love that she still did something "out there" and different by creating the incredible black fluid but didn't compromise on the actual scent.

All at once the notes hit you, sweet (not overly sweet or icky though) apricot notes intertwine with stronger, more masculine notes (incense) and the delightful saffron and honey give off a richer, more sophisticated ambiance whilst the tiger orchidea lifts the entire fragrance.
It is well thought out, balanced and a very intriguing fragrance. I really do love it and believe that this is not just for Little Monsters but will have a large appeal to women of all ages.

The look and bottle is elegant, beautiful and a little different.

This is one of those perfumes that I could spray on my clothes and just sniff myself all day! Its not too strong or overwhelming - It smells almost pretty. Its the perfect balance between fruits and flowers but not too sweet at the same time. It has definitely exceeded my expectations (with rumors of it being dark, I almost expected it to be Musky and Harsh). I cannot wait for this perfume to hit the shelves so I can get myself a bottle!

FAME is all it is set out to be and more! It is exactly what you would expect from Lady Gaga. No it isn’t a dark over powering smell, and no it doesn’t spray on black. It has a dark seduction yet sweetness that surrounds it. It has a sexiness undertone because of the orange blossoms that come through. It is absolutely lovely to be worn during the day or with evening wear. This scent is for the lady who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go out and get it! I am definitely getting me this delectable perfume!!

I love the branding for this product. The use of words in the description of ingredients and the icons, for me make the product more interesting and appealing. The smell of the perfume however did not remind me of what I percieve Lady Gaga to represent. I was expecting more of a darkness to the smell. I got a very floral and citrus aroma with a hint of spice and a soft powderey after smell. It was quite strong when I put it on but as it oxidised on my skin I got a softer more feminine smell which is lovely. I would definately wear this frangrance again.

I was so excited to learn that Beauty Bulletin had once again chosen me to review one of their new exciting products, but i was overjoyed when i learnt it was Lady Gaga's new fragrance, FAME. So, imagine my horror when i collected my package only to find a small sample...ungrateful you might think, but no, the only reason why i was horrified is because i wanted MORE!!!!! :)

I was expecting something very dark, musky an unusual just like the pop queen herself, yet was quite surprised when i sprayed it on only to find it light, citrusy and very elegant, probably one of the most flattering fragrances i have smelt to date. and, in true Gaga style, she has managed once again to shock everyone and do the unexpected to what she is known or thought to do. From her elaborate and very weird ad showcasing her new perfume, to the bottle, even to the initial liquid inside which is black of colour yet leaves no stain or residue on your body or clothes, this is the complete opposite to the pure smell which comes from the bottle.

All in all, a unique, unexpected treat from the queen of crazy and i look forward to seeing what else she comes up with in the future.

and obviously on that lovely smelling note, all i can say is i went "GAGA" over this fragrance :)

Thanks Beauty Bulletin

A dark fragrance delivering pure results, waking that inner sexy tiger in every woman with every spray.
This delectable fragrance takes you on a journey to Hollywood, standing on the red carpet amongst all the stars in their glitz and glamour making you feel nothing less than a princess.
Lady Gaga Fame is the first ever black Eau de parfum which turns clear once sprayed leaving no colour stains on your skin. Scents of honey, saffron and apricot nectar are prominent yet subtle leaving your skin smelling gorgeous from morning till night
The bottle is clear, showing off the black liquid inside while the cap boasts a bold and beautiful gold metal design which resembles something alien like.

My skin was fine in terms of color, so it does spray on clear, but I think this is just a marketing gimmick. As for the fragrance itself, there is no “blood and semen” as Gaga originally claimed there would be. It’s your basic fruity floral with a hint of sweetness. If that’s your thing, you will probably like this fragrance. For all the hype (apparently Gaga’s released some risque video ad campaign in support of the Fame), it’s really not that special. You could probably get a similar sort of fragrance from Britney Spears (and don’t be down on her. Curious is an awesome fragrance).Get it if you want to get in on the cool Gaga Factor, but don’t expect anything special. Even for those that like fruity florals, this one is pretty standard fare. If you are like me and like “bigger” fragrances like Chanel No. 5 or Bond No. 9 Nuits de NoHo, this is definitely not going to appeal to you.I have to say it isn’t what I expected from Gaga at all. I thought perhaps it would be something overwhelming and awful. Something I couldn’t or wouldn’t want to wear. It’s actually not as unique as I thought it would be either. It’s not to say that Fame will not appeal to YOU but personally I don’t really like it for myself since I navigate to very sweet fragrances.

Why all the hype?? It’s just a perfume... right? Wrong. I have learned quite a bit about perfume lately, and it seems that FAME definitely is one of a kind, not unlike Lady Gaga herself.

I expected this fragrance to be very overpowering and in-your-face. Lady Gaga told the press that she wanted her scent to smell of ‘semen and blood’… huh?! Don’t really know what to say about that one! So I expected something heavy and dark that would probably not suit the norm. But to my surprise, FAME actually smells quite pretty. The floral and fruity elements surprised me. I think this scent will appeal to both young and old. Well, you do design a product to sell don’t you? And I don’t think a scent that reminded you of an ‘expensive hooker’ would be a winner in the mass market.

I personally like the scent, even though I’m not really into floral fragrances. Maybe it’s the Belladonna that appeals to me (not that I have any idea what that is suppose to smell like!)?

Now, my favourite part: the black fluid! FAME is the first ever black eau de parfum that sprays clear and becomes invisible once airborne. I think that is just so cool! The black fluid represents the soul/heart of fame.

I also love the bottle – simple, elegant and classy.

In nutshell: FAME is not as ‘out there’ as I expected, but it is a lovely fragrance that I think will appeal to many. Try it, you will probably like it.

Little Monsters, get ready for the ultimate smell sensation! After all the hype of the sexy, sultry and provocative print ads we finally got a taste of what has to be the most anticipated fragrance of the year and boy, was it worth the wait! True to Gaga style, Fame is a bold and dangerous liquid that sprays on black but then quickly turns into a fruity, floral and transparent perfume rich in belladonna, jasmine and honey with hints of apricot and tiger orchid. What instantly grabbed me was the "trampoline structure" of the scent, this means that the smell changes throughout the day, leaving you constantly surprised and inevitably wanting more, rather than the typical pyramidal structure of most perfumes we use today.

This daring, different and decadent perfume is a must for the season!

wow i really do love this perfume,i will only use this it smells devine

Lady Gaga Fame, perhaps one of the best celebrity fragrances I have ever come across. The gorgeous yet dangerously elegant bottle alone draws you in while the mix of honey drops and saffron, pulverized apricots, belladonna tears, incense and crushed heart of tiger orchidea make a luscious mix that literally intoxicate your senses with sophistication and fervour while making you think of warm nights filled with excitement. This mix of delectable scents gets more and more hypnotising over the day. It literally makes heads swivel in your direction with the passionate scent oozing style, class and mystery lingering behind you. Lady Gaga Fame is a must for every confident, gorgeous person who wouldn’t mind the attention. Scintillating, fresh, wicked, decadent and unique, Lady Gaga Fame makes you feel as If you are being devoured by just that, Fame.

Fame is a light floral scent and is not very sweet. The first time I tried it on, my mom exclaimed 'It's nice' and I agree with her. It's not overwhelming and doesn't affect my sinus. Although the perfume is light, it lasted all day on me.
Gaga definitely shocked every one with this scent. I think it's is a great fragrance for the spring and summer as it is light. I also feel that because it is feminine and versatile it would be liked by many women, and would therefore be a great Christmas gift.

When I first heard about the launch of Lady Gaga Fame I was expecting a fragrance that was loud and a scent that was strong. I was so shocked and spell-bound when I tried it for the first time; it wasn't loud at all but rather sweet and sensual. The scent is floral and fruity and so very feminine. It's long lasting and hypnotic. I'm gaga over the new Lady Gaga Fame fragrance; it's my new favourite fragrance. I cant wait to get myself a full-sized bottle.

This fragrance startled me. It was not what I was expecting and I have been falling in love with it for a week now. The first bouquet to greet you is a sweet mix of orchid and belladonna. The incense is also detectable straight away which leads me to suggest it as a warmer scent more atune to winter and nights out.

Having warn it for some time I have come to realize that as it moves into its second phase of scent, as it evaporates over the day, that apricot, saffron and honey make a most unusual and refreshing combination that is light, with a wicked twist. This scent was made to intoxicate you in every season and in every hour.

I would recommend this as a staple in any woman's life.
It is irresistible.

Tears of Belladonna - I like this description.

It smells fruity and flowery. A pleasant mix of Tiger Orchid, Apricot, Saffron and Honey. It lasts surprisingly long and according to Lady Gaga should make you smell like "an expensive hooker" - a strong statement, but one that I hope will help women to become more confident and as in love with their bodies as Gaga is :) I think we all could do with being a bit more confident in our bodies, having more Gaga in our blood.

It might be a bit pricey, but for a perfume that is black in colour, it is worth it(producing perfumes that change colour once they become airborne still strikes me as something unbelievable) Hopefully this will lead to more awesome, colourful perfumes to come :) - exciting times ahead girls!

Fame was not at all what I expected it to be like, firstly the name is not very "Gaga-like" she comes off as rough, and always wanting to stand out but FAME doesn't suit that persona. That being said the black and gold bottle plus the invotive "black/grey" fluid is definitely very gaga as well as all the marketing for it!

That was not the only surprise I had, I was truly expecting a potent smell that would give me a headache and I would want to wash it off BUT wow what a lovely surprise the smell is amazing, so soft and sweet. Even though it is soft, it is bold enough to recognize the different notes of Honey, Saffron and Apricot.

I got the sample for this and will definitely save up for a bottle!

For such a risqué star to have created a scent I was extremely excited when I was chosen to review this product.

With all the rumors going around that it was going to smell like blood and semen it was a pleasant surprise when I sprayed it on for the first time. It fortunately smelt like neither.
Rather a delicious and fresh combination of fruity and floral tones came through. Also, Gaga stated that different notes would appear when the perfume is rubbed into the skin.

Like all perfumes, it translates differently on different people. With that being said, I really resonated with the scent and felt like it fused beautifully with my body. The scent lasted for about an hour before it started to soften.

I was so curious to see this black fluid and as I sprayed it I watched the dark grey mist turn translucent within seconds. In that sense, Gaga has definitely lived up to her reputation of doing things for the first time, in very edgy manners.
The black liquid is a ground breaking phenomenon within the perfume industry. The curiosity in that alone will leave people very intrigued and will drive them to the nearest store to try it out.

The packaging is very bold. The black and gold contrast make the bottle look very chic and edgy. In terms of on the shelf differentiation, I think it will definitely stand out among the other products with its over power statement of dominance.

The price isn't overindulgent and for this innovate product I think you definitely get your monies worth.

The perfume without a doubt lives up to the brand she has created for herself and any Gaga fan will most likely fall in love with the product.

A burst of fruity and floral aromas awaken my senses as I spray Lady Gaga's brand new fragrance "FAME" on my wrist. The fragrance is light and not overpowering for an Eau de Parfum. It's a bit toned down from what you would expect from Lady Gaga, but you can always expect the unexpected from Mother Monster. The packaging is dark on the outside, but the fragrance itself is soft, delicate and the epitome of the word feminine. The fluid technology is the first of its kind, much like Lady Gaga herself. If you look closely when spraying the fragrance you can actually see the black fluid transform and become invisible. Lady Gaga has done something completely different and innovative, which is SO Lady Gaga, even incorporating the poisonous Beladonna plant into the fragrance. Derived from Italian “bella donna” means "beautiful woman", how fitting. The bottle is beautiful. Black and Gold are both elegant colours and this fragrance is just that, elegant and classy. Lady Gaga has done well for her debut fragrance "FAME". I love it! My overall opinion, it's a fragrance suitable for any occasion and the perfect spring/summer time accessory to compliment any outfit. I'm eagerly waiting to see what it will be priced at. I'm sure all the little monsters will be waiting anxiously too.

Once upon an innovation during medieval times, the dark black fluid Fame was invented. The hypnotic floral sweet aroma contrasts its dark mysterious packaging. Lady Gaga used Fame to send a very specific message to the masses “it’s black like the soul of fame, but invisible once airborne”.
I absolutely love the floral fragrance of Fame. The perfume fuses well with one’s natural smell and lasts whole day! Gaga once again did not disappoint in terms of presentation. She proves that she truly is a trendsetter with this sweet black fluid!!!

Golden claws ominously clench a glass grenade of leering black elixir that dissipates on your skin as a whisper does in the dark. This sumptuous, fruity, candy-saturated scent instantly injects itself into your veins, bursts and bleeds out images of opulence, debauchery, ferocity, sensuality and absolute brazenness. Plump pearls drip from pale hands bound in black lace, bright crimson burlesque skirts bloom like dark red rose buds, grapes so picture-perfect taste of deep purple decadence, liquid gold champagne glitters and froths from the lips of crystal glasses, white-hot light bulbs violently blind then break, weeping opaque pirouettes of smoke and it feels as though the memory of this scent has been burned into my senses – every cell infused with Fame.
