   Top Notes: Citruses, Bergamot, Green Notes, Cinnamon, Plum.

   Heart Notes: Jasmine, White Flowers, Red Berries.

   Base Notes: Musk, Patchouli, Amber, Incense, Vanilla, Oilibanum.

   I am pleasantly surprised by this fragrance. I smell all of the top notes of citruses, bergamot, cinnamon, plum, green notes, and they smell delicious. Upon initial application, this parfum smells much more like an expensive parfum to me than an inexpensive celebrity scent.

   The top notes disappeared fairly quickly and revealed the heart notes of white flowers and red berries. Once again, I am surprised to be able to detect both heart notes as I do not have a very well tutored nose, but these two notes were unmistakeable.

   This parfum settled into a deep dry down in about thirty minutes which was somewhat disappointing as it would have been nice if the heart notes continued a bit longer. I mainly detect incense, vanilla, and patchouli in the base notes. I am not a big fan of patchouli, but in this parfum, it is blended quite beautifully with the incense and other base notes. I really like the patchouli in this fragrance. This is patchouli done very well indeed. “Warm,” “smokey,” and “spicy” are all very apt descriptors of this parfum’s dry down. It is a very pleasing fragrance to my nose.

   With only one good spray, Queen of Hearts exhibited excellent projection (it pretty much filled my entire bedroom) and sillage upon first application through the first thirty to forty minutes, but it does quieten down pretty quickly thereafter. Longevity is about three to four hours on my skin. After about five hours, it disappears altogether. This is a nice quality parfum for the price point. Both Queen and Queen of Hearts have been discontinued, unfortunately, so purchase them whilst they can still be found on eBay, Fragrancenet, Scentedmonkey, etc.

   Fragrance: 7/10

   Projection: 10/10 upon initial application. 8/10 after an hour.

   Sillage: 10/10 upon initial application. 8/10 after an hour

   Longevity: 6.5/10

   So sexy and warm. Smells close to the Givenchy lines. I like this better than Queen because it’s not so heavy in your face. It lasts all day for me. When I run out I’m buying more. Great price too I’m surprised it’s not an expensive one.

   I swapped for this, and received this in the mail today. I opened the packaged and immediately sprayed this on me. Wow! This is amazing!!! So sexy and warm! This will be my new everyday scent. Amazing!

   I enjoy writing positive reviews, not negative ones. I like to give accolades based on the successes of perfumers hard work. This was a blind buy based on reviews. But I couldn’t find match any positive reviews to what I found when I tried Queen of Hearts. This perfume disappointed me so.
   There was only one note I could find after hours of wearing it and it took my nose to the crook of my elbow to locate it. I finally smelled cinnamon-similar to the chewing gum cinnamon, albeit briefly, fleetingly. The only mystery I found is in trying to locate the different notes in this scent.
   The sillage is just not there on me after testing it numerous times in warm weather and air-conditioning. After testing it for a few days, I finally sprayed it as I would a body spray on my arms and body, just to see what what happen. Still nothing. Perhaps my body chemistry doesn’t allow for this scent to materialize into something bodacious as others have described. I literally could not get enough of a scent to declare this perfume worthwhile enough.
   Eventually, after dousing myself (literally), I detected in the drydown a powdery incense with some plum. But I’m not willing to douse myself with this because it’s not a body spray, it’s a perfume, or so it says.
   The bottle reminds me of a man’s after-shave decanter save for the heart in the glass, not one of my favorite designs. Very masculine.
   Some have compared this to Elixir des Merveilles, which I do have. I could not see the comparison.
   Back to the store it went.
   Top Notes: Citruses, Bergamot, Green Notes, Cinnamon, Plum.
   Middle Notes: Jasmine, White Flowers, Red Berries.
   Base Notes: Musk, Patchouli, Amber, Incense, Vanilla, Olibanum.

   I like this one. It has a fruity, citrus opening but dries down to patchouli, vanilla and cinnamon. It reminds me very much of Fancy Nights, which is why only 4 lippies – staying power not so good. Very cheap online atm

   Would I buy again? YES! This is way better than her first one it lasts and its very mature. This is how I’d picture middle eastern women to smell its warm, spicy, sweet, honeyish,incense, cinnamony with a hint of fruit. Its very nice and I want a 3.4 oz bottle when I finish this 1.7oz I bought. One of the best fragrances I’ve smelled in a while not a fruity floral that’s for sure!

   Ugh, this made me sooooo nauseous. I made the mistake of spraying prior to getting in the car for a long ride home. It smells very similar to me to the jasmine perfume from Lush – I’m not sure there was any jasmine listed, but this turns into a powdery jasmine/vanilla/iris maybe? mess on me. Does not smell at all like the original and pretty awful. Not a fan of the bottle, either.
