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)
