Lady Gaga Fame Eau de Parfum
by thehonesttruth When it comes to buying perfumes, I have to admit I'm very heavily influenced by bottle design. I want something that not only smells good, but is going to look good left out on my bathroom side or bedroom dressing table. And I do make cover judgements - I'll look at a bottle, and if I find it terribly ugly, I wont even bother with a ... tester spray. One perfume I have that not only looks gorgeous but smells it to is Lady Gagas 'Fame' EDP. I'm not normally on to go for a celebrity smell, but I will admit that all the hype and horror surrounding this before it came out only made it more interesting to me. There were so many rumours that this was going to smell of blood, sweat, and semen that it was a complete surprise to me when I first smelt it to discover it smelt very pretty, and not at all outrageous! The bottle is as you can see above, a sort of grenade shaped ball of clear glass, with a shiny metal 'claw' that acts as the lid. It's a very simple design, that really highlights the a fact that the perfume itself is black. The gold lid contrasts with the black itself wonderfully - I think it's lovely, clean and simple yet definitely attention grabbing. The lid is a good secure fit, and the glass is thick and quite heavy, it feels like it's good quality. The scent begins as a light and mysterious floral, before evolving quite rapidly into a sweet and indulgent fruity scent of arpricots and honey, all underlined with Jasmine the slightly heavier scent of orchid. I also felt like there was a sort of incense smell to it, giving it a smell that was a little more mature than your average fruity floral. There was also another floral scent to it I couldn't name - apparently this contains a scent inspired by deadly belladonna - it may well be this I can smell. I found the scent lasted well on my skin, and didn't need topping up throughout the day as other scents I have used do. The scent did change with where - the florals were more identifiable individually at the start, but by the evening it was the sweetness that was most identifiable. I found the overall effect warming and sensual. I did like that I could pick up and identify the notes separately- I usually struggle to identify a particular fragrance but it seems like this scent had managed to achieve a balance allowing each scent to stand out without dominating the scent. I was also pleased that despite the black colour, the scent left no marks on my skin or clothes. It is actually transparent when sprayed, and is apparently the first perfume of it's kind, with both the blackness and transparency used as simile - Black to represent the dark heart of fame, and transparency to indicate it's lack of substance. I think this is a lovely scent. Given the hype about it, I was surprised by how very wearable it was. Given the colour, I was also surprised by how light the fragrances was, I had perhaps expected something a lot darker and deeper. Overall though, I was just impressed by the fragrance, which was lovely - light but surprisingly indulgent, warm and rich, and sensual without being too adult. I think it's a lovely perfume, not one I wear everyday due to the richness of the scent, but lovely to get a little bit of warm fragrance on a cold day, and perfect for evenings out. I absolutely adore the bottle design, and actually think that with an RRP of £32 for 50ml, it's actually very reasonably priced, and certainly one I would feel no hesitation in purchasing again!

Lady Gaga Fame Eau de Parfum
by MikeBorry ~*~*~ Lady Gaga - Fame ~*~*~ ~ What is it? ~ This is a celebrity scent and it is by Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga is known for her somewhat shocking and bizarre appearance and this perfume and bottle are no different with its egg shaped glass bottle and golden claw like lid. The perfume inside the bottle is ... coloured black! ~ The Scent ~ I expected this to be a deep dark scent, much like Lady Gaga herself and it was for this reason that I didn't expect to like it very much. I thought it would be too heavy for me but I was actually pleasantly surprised. Don't let the black liquid put you off as the scent is actually quite floral and sweet. ~ Notes ~ Honey Apricot Incense Orchid Jasmine Sambac Belladonna Saffron This scent rather having the usual top, middle and base notes has push-pull technology and is based on three accords - Dark, Sensual and Light. When these come together they form a sweet, fruity, floral scent. ~ Longevity ~ I don't think this is one of the most long lasting scents you are going to come across, when I wear this it lasts around two maybe three hours before I fail to be able to detect it anymore. However you don't need to apply to much of the perfume to your skin so topping up every now and then isn't going to break the bank. A 50ml bottle costs roughly £30 and it can be bought in the usual places, such as Boots, Superdrug, etc and can also be bought as part of a gift set along with shower gel in the matching scent. Blurb taken from Superdrug.com - "Lady Gaga Fame; an opulent, crushed-floral fragrance that's black in colour like the soul of fame but transparent once airborne." ~ My Thoughts ~ With all the hype surrounding this perfume, with Gaga reportedly wanting it to smell of blood and semen I wasn't exactly swept of my feet! I also thought it would have a darker, heavy scent so I didn't buy this. It was bought for me as a gift for Christmas so I thought there was no harm in trying it and if I didn't like it, at least the bottle would still look good on my dressing table! I was a little skeptical of the black coloured liquid and fully expected it to leave some sort of mark on my skin but nope is does become clear once airborne. I do think this is a unique and funky point which does scream Gaga! It was the scent that surprised me the most as it was completely different to what I originally expected, the sweetness of the honey is what I detected along with a fruity hit, I was really impressed with it. I would describe it as a floral/fruity scent that is good for everyday wear rather than keeping it for special occasions. The bottle is more apt to Lady Gaga than the scent I have to admit, the claw designed lid is really funky and I feel that it fit her look very well. I expect that being a celeb scent this is aimed to be marketed at all women so I think that is why the scent has been kept sweeter rather than heavy. Not many teens like heavy scents so I think they have gone down the right route to keep this more a generic perfume rather than aiming it at those who like heavier scents.

Lady Gaga Fame Eau de Parfum
by AbsintheFairy I don't usually bother with celebrity perfumes, but I got a free sample of Lady Gaga's new fragrance Fame in a recent Boots order, so was happy enough to give it a go. I never turn down a freebie! ***Bottle*** The full-size bottle for this fragrance is black and egg-like with a gold-coloured top: apparently this is meant ... to be a claw. To me it looks rather alien-like. It is interesting and different and fits with Lady Gaga's image. I like that it doesn't have her name plastered all over it. My sample came in a mini black 1.2ml atomiser inside a cardboard case. ***The Fragrance*** This has been promoted as the "first ever black to clear eau de parfum", an opulent fruity scent. It is inspired by belladonna, the famed deadly nightshade, and this scent is mixed with incense to create a dark, deep fragrance. Honey, saffron and apricot nectar form the middle notes, creating a sensuous aspect, while crushed tiger orchidea & jasmine sambac bring a lighter floral aspect to the scent. I certainly found the description of the scent intriguing. ***My Experience*** I was reasonably impressed with this fragrance when I first sprayed it. I thought it smelled fairly unusual and sophisticated, not simple or young like many celebrity fragrances. I don't know enough about perfume scents to be able to identify individual notes, but I thought it smelled warming and, for want of a better word, moreish - I kept smelling my wrist! The fragrance wasn't heavy, however, and I didn't find it too strong, which is good as super-strong fragrances can sometimes be headache-inducing. It smelled to me something like a woman of any age could wear: light enough for a teenager but sophisticated enough for an older woman. As the fragrance dried down, I thought it smelled lighter on my skin. It was sweet like honey, and I could detect fruitier and more floral notes too. However the darker aspects of the scent were still present. I found this to be an interesting change from most perfumes, which tend to go from light to heavy rather than the other way around. The perfume doesn't have the best longevity. I find it lasts around two to three hours on my skin, which isn't great, but then again it's not a particularly expensive fragrance. ***Price and Availability*** The perfume is very reasonably priced at £32 for 50ml. It is widely available in the usual perfume stores, and is also available in gift sets. ***Conclusion*** I'm not one to go for celebrity fragrances, but this one is pretty good. It has a pleasant scent with an unusual concept and aspect marking it out as a bit different to most perfumes out there. I like the bottle and the general design too. It doesn't cost that much, for a perfume, and is generally a fragrance I recommend. Read the complete review |
