Sexy for Her
Beverly Hills Polo Club

This is a nice fragrance. I smell the tonka most in base notes...It reminds me A LOT of Karl Lagerfield's Sun Moon Stars from the 90s! Perhaps with a lighter cologne vibe and more tonka. Maybe this is where others are calling this out for its VINTAGE qualities!? But overall, this one is a nice, sophisticated scent. Not a good blind buy, but a good one nonetheless.

Oh, my darling little ugly duckling. How misunderstood you are! I've read such unkind things about you: you're "masculine", "old", and a blatant "who wears this?"

Well, I wear this, and have been wearing it for years. Despite all outward appearances (tacky bottle, cheesy name, and bargain basement price tag), this is a lovely fragrance: warm, cinnamon-kissed patchouli, a smattering of rose, and a beautiful dollop of tonka bean. Simple and linear, but deliciously distinctive. I find this mix to be very relaxing, and have often thought it would have more success marketed as an aromatherapy scent.

It may not last as long as a powerhouse, but I carry a mini in my purse for touch-ups. Many times, the EDP is packaged with a body spray, but the body spray is not a good representation of the scent (it's almost all alcohol). The bar soap version also smells very different from the EDP-- it's all about rose.

No matter. This Ralph Lauren knockoff-looking bottle holds a sweet secret inside. Shhh. We all know that too much hype drives the prices north, so let's keep it under our floppy hats.
