Falling In Love
Notes (as listed on sephora.com): Vanilla, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Musk, Blackberry
I have always wanted to try Philosophy products; whenever I see the body lotions and shower/bath gels in the store, I admire them from afar, but I never made the plunge and actually tried any… until I received a Sephora gift card for Christmas, that is.

Lolita Lempicka
NOTES (as listed on sephora.com): ivy leaves, aniseed, amarena heart, violets, iris roots, vetiver, tonka bean, vanilla, musk
As soon as I saw the beautiful bottle that houses Lolita Lempicka, I couldn’t wait to get a whiff. I knew ahead of time from other reviews that this was not my typical cup of tea, but I still went into it with an open mind.

Notorious by Ralph Lauren
NOTES: black currant, pink peppercorn, bergamot, chocolate cosmos, white frost peonies, carnation, patchouli musk, vanilla, iris
Being completely honest here, I would not under any circumstance sample this perfume when I was at the mall on a random outing. Everything about this fragrance points to fragrance that I do not like. However, as it is featured in September’s edition of Glamour magazine, I decided to give it a try, because hey… you just never know.

Escada Sexy Graffiti
NOTES: Wild Strawberry, Raspberry, Pink Grapefruit, Blackcurrant, Muget, Red Peony, Violet, Cashmere Wood, Vanilla, Musk
Escada launched their limited edition summer scent, Sexy Graffiti, in 2002. Hailed as a young, fresh, and fruity fragrance, I took it upon myself to sample it. I do not have much luck when it comes to the Escada line, and that’s probably for the best; as most of their perfumes are limited edition, purchasing a full size bottle of one of their perfumes no longer in production may just set you back $100-$200.
CLASSIFICATION: Feminine, fruity, fresh
AGE GROUP: Perfect for anyone

Coach for Women (featuring the sold-out limited edition collector's bottle)
NOTES: mandarin, guava, lily, violet leaves, Genet flower, mimosa, jasmine, honey, amber, sandalwood, vanilla, iris
As a fan of Coach purses, I couldn’t wait to try the perfume by Coach. Actually, I must have been living in a bubble, because I wasn’t even aware that such a delicacy existed until a few days ago. I immediately found my way to eBay.com to purchase a sample vial, and the rest is history.
CLASSIFICATION: Feminine, floral
AGE GROUP: Perfect for anyone
SIMILAR SCENT(s): Perhaps can be associated with a classier, way more appealing version of Estee Lauders Pleasures.

Aquolina Pink Sugar
NOTES (as listed on sephora.com): Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Licorice, Strawberry, Red Fruit, Cotton Candy, Vanilla, Caramel, Musk, Wood, Powder.
Upon the discovery that there are gourmand fragrances that appeal to me (i.e. Hilary Duff’s Wrapped With Love, 2008), I decided to purchase a sample vial of Aquolina’s Pink Sugar with my last fragrancenet.com shipment. I was counting on hating this fragrance, and let’s just say that I was definitely not disappointed.
CLASSIFICATION: Candy. Baked goods.
