The promised rose garden
I love single floral scents and Tea Rose is real rose essence. I started wearing this as a replacement for Avon's Roses Roses when it was discontinued in the 70's. The price is very inexpensive and the perfume never comes across as cheap smelling like an old fashioned air freshner. I wish Perfumers workshop had made the box a beautiful rose pink and tinted the perfume faintly rose colored...that would have been perfect for this lovely fragrance.

Complicated
I've tried Angel several times at the store. Every time, it smells different on me. I get many different notes wafting through, from caramel to cotton candy, then fruity notes, patchouli. The first hour I wear it is awful...but then in the dry down it turns into something delicious...the problem is, I don't want to endure it that long. Angel is like the mood ring of perfumes as I think it is entirely dependant on body chemistry and mood. Do not buy this perfume without trying it more than once.

Pleasant surprise
I didn't think I was going to like this based on the notes but the name intrigued me and people raved about it so I decided I must try this perfume. It's actually quite pleasant. I don't care for woody fragrances and the cedar is quite obvious in this. However it is softened by a musk that is more like white musk. Amereto is also a note that can go wrong for me but it is softened by the almond and white flowers. I was afraid the patchouli/cedar combo would make this a very earthy fragrance but it isn't. The patchouli is softly in the background. Over all this is a well rounded, well blended, creamy, and almost powdery sweet scent with a woody, almost nutty quality. I'm sure the benzoin, caramel, and chocolate lend the creamy sweet quality to this fragrance. It's amazing to me how they took so many notes I don't care for and crafted it into such a pleasant perfume.

Aquired taste
You're either going to love or hate this fragrance. This is not a safe blind buy at all. The scent has too much going on and reminds me of an old medicine chest of 100 years ago. I think the combination of geranium with corriander is what pushed this over the edge of being tolerable. On the other hand there is an abundance of plesant notes and this is a very rich aromatic and complex fragrance. It could become an aquired taste with some extended wear. It reminds me of Rochas Femme but with bitter herbal green notes

Do pheromones really make a difference?
I came across an advertisement for pheromones and was intrigued by the thought that fragrance could be a sexual stimulant. Back in the 80's Pheromone by Marilyn Miglin was widley talked about but I could never find it to test. I started searching for it and stumbled across Realm on Perfumemania.com. I went to the store to sample it and found it to be plesant, warm, and spicy with cinnamon and vanilla. It reminds me of a crisp autum day. I wore this to the mall to see how people would react. It seemed to be more of a mood elevator than a sexual attractant. Everyone noticed it and I received many compliments from both male and female sales staff. Something odd happened...everyone seemed to be going out of their way to help me and give me things like cupons, free samples, makeovers...While nobody came on to me I can say that people reacted more positively to me. Anyway, the drydown smells a bit like a mens fragrance and this scent is more mature...not for a teenager
