Sparkling, delicate, refreshing, and refined
Guerlain's Teazzura is a gorgeous, sparkling iced chamomile-vanilla tea with huge wedges of fresh lemon served with joy by the gracious hostess of a breezy, warm Mediterranean Summer brunch. Everyone is laughing under the warm sun, the scent of delicate chamomile tea blended with the sweetness of a sheer lemony vanilla wafting about in light-hearted beauty. There is a warm green to her that I find charming and delicate.

Fragrance: 9/10
Sillage: Soft to Moderate (if applied to textiles/ hair as well)
Projection: begins moderate and winds-up a skin-scent after a few hours (I don't mind reapplying though)
Longevity: A few to several hours (not bad for this type of scent, I might add)
Bottle: 8/10

Delicate and charming, if you're searching for a beast-mode fragrance that screams "look at me" to everyone in a ten-mile radius, this may not be your cup of tea (see what I did there?)
Though I find the fragrance VERY fleeting on skin alone, it seems to last and LAST when applied to hair and textiles.

Value = Superb. Found mine for about $40 brand new (4.2 oz).

I prefer her best in warmer/hot and/or humid weather.

She is absolutely beautiful, an instant favorite.
Starting with the bottle: it's gorgeous! It does look reminiscent of a jeweled turtle in a way; at any rate, the bottle alone is divine.
And now to the fragrance:
AHHHHH, gorgeous! I'm glad that this was gifted to me as I likely would never have thought to buy it myself had I only found FF here and seen the notes pyramid first. And I would have missed out! This fragrance is lovely to me. I agree that she does read more as a woody-floral than an oriental as neither the pink pepper nor the incense is domineering; none of the notes are out of balance, in fact. I adore the spicy, warm, sweet and floral fragrance!
Regarding the gorgeous, spicy pink-pepper, if Lancome's Miracle works for you, you might give Fendi's Furiosa a go.
This is a very well-blended, beautiful and warm fragrance, just gorgeous! I was already wearing Shalimar EDP when I received this on Christmas Eve and found that she melded right in beautifully. Now that I'm wearing her on her own, though, she's even more beautiful. FF sweetens as she dries down, soft,warm, closer and as comforting as combed cotton.
I'm gobsmacked that FENDI fragrances are (albeit recently) discontinued. (It's face-palm-worthy).

Fragrance: 10/10: woody, sweet, spicy, elegant, feisty, unique, gorgeous!!!
Sillage: Soft to Huge, depending upon application.
Longevity: Moderate or better, also depending upon application.

ETA: THIS is my new heroin. I'm devastated that she's been discontinued and am praying that SOME company (looking at Elizabeth Arden and Parfums International) will purchase the license to continue creating this elegant masterpiece of inimitable, flawless perfumery.
You know that frantic, panicky "I must get as much of this as I can!" feeling? Yeah, I have that going on with specific regard to Fendi's Furiosa. To the point of tunnel vision, and will likely select backups of this as my anniversary present.
It's THAT good. In fact, I'm kind of reticent about sharing the experience for fear of this unicorn disappearing from store shelves far too quickly.

Marlene Dietrich in a bottle.
This is a wonderful, different, refreshing fragrance! I find the tobacco light, sweet, unsmoked, haylike and fresh; the jasmine is a little dirty and blends beautifully with the tobacco effortlessly. In short, Etat Libre d'Orange's Jasmin et Cigarette is, to me, Marlene Dietrich in a bottle: bold but soft, unapologetic with an almost androgynous appeal and nod to vintage flair.
This smells wonderful on my better half, too (perhaps even better than it does on me).

Gorgeous, Modern, and Unique
I've owned this fragrance for about two weeks now and since receiving it have worn little else, I'm so in love with the combination of notes. I get a cloud of soft vanilla, pungent salt, and sweet/salty ambergris hovering above the floral and woodsy notes. The sillage is moderate, as is the projection; long-lasting, I find that I can still smell this in the morning when I wake, about 24 hours after application. The bottle is stunningly to-die-for gorgeous, in rose-gold and glass like a museum-quality sculpture, and the value, no matter what you pay for yours, is right on the money.
This immediately became my Summer Signature scent and I can't imagine ever being without Olympea now. I hope that she remains in production in perpetuity!

Yummy, gorgeous modern Tuberose at your service
Now wearing this gorgeous scent which opens (on my skin) as a honeyed-peach-tuberose-amber-vanilla/tonka bean delight. This fragrance begins to show her complexity as warmed by the wearer's skin, seeming much 'simpler' from just a bottle sniff, but the simplicity is an illusion. The predominant note to me is TUBEROSE and this one is sweet, waxy, very creamy, with the other notes wafting up in delicious, surprising little cameos.
Fragrance: 8/10 easily.
Sillage: 5/10 - you can afford to be more liberal with this one than others from its time for sure. Get your clothing in application and it will last a LONG time.
Longevity: average, perhaps a bit better. Takes a few to several hours to become a skin scent for me.
I think this is a definite "must have" for tuberose lovers.
