Christina Aguilera 'Christina Aguilera'

The top notes blend head turning exotic fruit sorbet with sparkling, succulent tangerine and intensely fruity blackcurrant tea. The heart note is floral, and super feminine. A bouquet of pretty peony and jasmine is tempered with a deliciously ripe plum note. The base note is sexy and seductive. A whisper of amber, addicitvely creamy vanilla and musk tones lend the base a provocative personality.
The perfume has incredible holding ability; having applied it to your person the scent remains for several hours, blending into an even more gorgeous, subtle smell. There is uninamous praise that this is an incredibly feminine, sensual scent which no matter how much you apply; there is no overpowering sense or sickly tendency. The bottle is reminiscent of the curves and form of late hollywood screen sirens.

Jennifer Lopez 'Live'

With top notes of scicilian lemon, orange and pineapple; heart notes of redcurrant, violet and peony and base notes of white musk, vanilla and sandalwood the impression is that this is a rather light, citrusy summer scent. However the base notes quickly seem to overpower the top notes and provide quite a heavy, for some - sickly scent but one that is perfect for a distinctive everyday scent. It could be considered a 'young' smelling perfume - perfect for anyone between the ages of 16-30, If sprayed ever so lightly over the body it will provide a more subtle, long lasting scent - rather than an overpowering, sickly one. The bottle is original and is aesthetically pleasing with a beautifully coloured exterior and doesn't tend to leak if slightly 'manhandled'. This perfume is, in conclusion, a great smell and a long lasting scent perfect for everday use.

Summary: light citrusy, summer scent which only needs sparse application to become noticeable

Advantages: has a very distinct scent, bottle is feminine and pretty

Disadvantages: Can become overpowering and sickly ever so easily, if over-applied
