Hair: Thick, medium texture, and prone to flyaways due to lots of random coarse strands; currently dark golden brown

Eyecolor: Hazel

Age: 31

Skin Tone: Medium fair with yellow undertones

Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

Usher for Her Eau de Parfum

What They Say: "Mysterious and addictive, this fragrance imparts a mouth watering sensation with a sexy heart. Voluptuous florals add sophistication and femininity. This is a floral scent for the woman who exudes confidence and sexuality. The fragrance reveals its intense allure with captivating amber and rich woody undertones.

Notes: Red Currant, Pink Freesia, Apple Blossom, Frangipani, Apricot Nectar, Blooming Jasmine, Passion Rose, Amber Wood, Sensual Musk, Cashmere Wood, Vanilla Orchid, Incense.

Style: Sensual. Confident. Enigmatic."

Melissa Says: Historically, I haven't been a huge fan of many of the fragrances that have been released under the name of various random celebrities. They seem to fall under a large hit-or-miss umbrella for me. I was pleased to realize when I tested this that I actually kind of like it.

I hesitate from raving because the initial notes aren't typically those I lean toward, but it's hard to deny how many times I found myself sniffing my own wrist throughout the day as it developed from a more crisp, dark floral to a smooth, sexy combination melting those florals with alluring depth. This would be a great scent for someone comfortable in her skin, who likes to imagine herself having an air of sophisticated mystery.

*A word of caution: a little goes a long way, so be sparing to keep it from being overwhelming in any way.

Retail Price: $52.00 1.7 oz (at Sephora.com and select fragrance counters)
