   The fragrance is soo beautiful. I think it need to be a parfum not an eau de parfum as it doesn’t seem strong enough. I carry it with me to keep refreshing it. I have to say this is my favourite new perfume ever as I am a stickler for the classics and love all of the traditional designer brands. This is something a bit different and I really like it. Good job Gina!!!

   I’ve recently gone to Chemist Warehouse and smelled this incredible perfume Gina has recently released! When I saw her on The Real Housewives (as it is my favorite show) and saw that Gina was making the perfume I got so excited that I counted down the days to when her perfume would be out. When I smelled the perfume I fell in love with it, it’s now my favorite perfume! I love the musk smell and the way it reminds me of the light pastel pink that’s on the ad for her perfume. the smell just sums Gina up like how strong an independent Gina is! She is such an idol not just for me but for almost everyone! I’m only 14 years old and I hope to see more incredible people and perfumes like you.

   Being a huge RHOM fan, I was looking forward to smelling this debut fragrance from Gina Liano – she has a big personality, and I expected an amazing warm scent…she had mentioned in an episode that a warm woody scent would be what she was aiming for before the perfume was in creation.
   Unfortunately this perfume is nothing but boring and cheap. I am not sure why she approved such a scent that you would expect from someone like Justin Beiber or One Direction.
   What does it smell like? Flower pollen, if you smell hard enough. It is extremely weak, but it smells just like flower pollen.

   Aussie review only I’m afraid.

   Gina Liano is a minor Australian celebrity who appears on Real Housewives of Melbourne, and also appeared on a season of Celebrity Apprentice.

   She comes across as brash, loud, overdressed and over made up, so you’d guess that whatever perfume she created would be in the same vein. Actually it’s nothing like that. Although I can’t find the official notes anywhere, to my nose it smells like a white musk with peony and rose. Basically it smells almost exactly like Narcisco Rodriguez L’eau for Her, only much MUCH weaker.

   This is definitely a wrist sniffing skin scent. it starts off with a blast of cheap alcohol which only lasts a minute, and then smells like a rose tinged white musk. I’m sniffing my wrist to detect it within less than half an hour. After 5 hours, if I sniff my wrist, I can still faintly smell it, but now it’s gone a tiny bit sour – this often happens on me with fragrances featuring rose.

   It’s available at Chemist Warehouse for $39.95 for a 100ml bottle of (supposedly) eau de parfum. Honestly it’s so weak you’re going to go through it really quickly. This alone makes it really bad value for money. If you enjoy a musk skin scent but want one one at a reasonable price, just go for Lovely by SJP. You can get this at Chemist Warehouse for $29.95 for 100mls, and the lasting power is much greater.

   You could also try Ebay for a white musk oil, or try a China Rain or China Musk oil instead. Different brands have different formulations, but both the China Rain and China Musk oils tend to feature white musk, with a mixture of light florals and either woody or green notes. Impossible for me to give you a particular seller to try.

   All up, a very disappointing product, and one of the many watered down celebrity offerings that have flooded stores in the last 10 years.

   Edit: I have now tried this three times, just to be fair. My original review still stands – weak as piss Narcisco Rodriguez rip off.
