My Place Or Yours Gina
Benefit (2009)

I enjoy Gina a lot. I lik all of the fragrances in the series by Benefit but Gina is my favorite because of how provocative it is! It is THE MOST provocative female scent in the universe I know...I don't smell any fruit really at all coming out above any other notes. I smell mysterieuse muscs blended in perfection with the sweetness. The muscs top the other notes though in the most wonderful way. I am looking forward to try the Summer Line! Gina gets 6 Stars from me. Its lika a dark brooding sexy cloud which follows for ages after I am gone!!!!

As one could suggest with the provocative name, My place or yours Gina is supposed to be the most seductive of the series.

I wouldn't call it a femme fatal, however I do find it very intriguing and in some ways, sensual.

My place or yours Gina tends to be all about the fruits. When I first smelt this I immediately thought dark, juicy black currant, tangerine and a touch of spice. The fruity notes are not lively or refreshing, they are somewhat dark and brooding. More like a fruity scent for night-time wear.

Vanilla and patchouli smooths out the scent nicely, adding a somewhat earthy, sweet component to the already rich and tart-like fruits.

If we must refer to this fragrance as being sexy, it's sexy in a conservative sense. Not nearly as wild as some may expect. I actually define all of the fragrances in this series as being slightly old-fashioned, like something one would wear way back in the 40's and 50's.

Although My place of yours Gina has been intended for a more mature crowd, I do believe that young girls will lap this fragrance up. Dark fruity scents seem to be all the rage these days.

I love the smell of this when I first put it on. On me, however, the scent is too linear and seems to intensify the longer I wear it (and I use it sparingly). It becomes headache-inducing. My suggestion? If you're interested in this one, try it and wear it for a day before buying it.
