Incanto Charms
Incanto Dream is one of my top five favorite fragrances, Jax had some pretty positive feedback on Incanto Shine, and neither of us thought that Incanto Heaven was terrible. So of course, I naturally wanted to try Incanto Charms.
CLASSIFICATION: Spicy, every so slightly fruity

Paris Hilton Heiress
NOTES: passion fruit, orange, peach granita, champagne mimosa, star jasmine, tiare flower, ylang-ylang, honeysuckle, dewberry blossom, grenadine, violet leaf, vetiver, tonka, blonde woods
All celebrity jokes aside, the original Paris Hilton fragrance is one of my favorite perfumes, ever. I took it upon myself to sample her collection, and Heiress was the second fragrance I purchased in her line. While I was not nearly as impressed with Heiress, I wasn’t terribly disappointed, either.

Absolutely Givenchy
NOTES: Apple, Passion Fruit, Sweet Pea, Musky Woods
I purchased a mini of this scent from Fragrancenet.com during their last free shipping (no minimum purchase required) sale. I had absolutely no opinion on what kind of scent I would be receiving, as I had never actually read any kind of review. Has anyone ever tried this?
CLASSIFICATION: fresh, with a fruity opening, and a floral heart
AGE GROUP: Perfect for any age

XOXO
NOTES (as listed on fragrantica.com): musk, sandalwood, passion fruit, white apricot, bergamot, tahitian vanilla
Yet another good ol’ impulse buy, the cute pink box of XOXO was what really drew me to it. I knew nothing of this fragrance, having never read reviews, and there not being a tester where I bought it (it was purchased at the same time as my Roxy Love; see two entries back from this one).
CLASSIFICATION: clean, unique, very slightly flowery/floral
AGE GROUP: college

Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine
NOTES (as listed on sephora.com): Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Freesia, Peach, Cedarwood, Amber.
Another perfume purchased on a whim. A friend of mine had purchased another Incanto, and despite being apprehensive, I decided to give it a go. The list of notes is short and sweet, with nothing shocking or unidentifiable. Plus, the bottle is SO cute.
CLASSIFICATION: Feminine, floral, fresh, fruity
AGE GROUP: Perfect for anyone
