I like to wear perfume but for some reason I don't like buying it myself so always ask for it at birthdays and Christmas. I'm not sure why, I think its perhaps because I always received them as presents when I was in my teens so it's not something I associate with buying myself. For this reason, I have received some random perfumes over the years, some that I haven't even heard of until that point. I would assume, it's because they were on offer etc., but I wouldn't like to guess! One of these gifts was My Queen fragrance by Alexander McQueen. I have obviously heard of Alexander McQueen before, but I hadn't heard of this specific perfume so I was eager to try ...  Read the complete review

The late Alexander McQueen was a British fashion designer. He passed away earlier this year. *~*My Queen*~* Many fashion designers have released fragrances and Alexander McQueen was no different. My Queen was created by master perfumers, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo and was released in 2005. My Queen was developed with the intention to "embody the diversified nature of perfume and a vision of the women of his dreams". My Queen is claimed to be "miraculous, wonderful, mysterious and seductive". My Queen is available in an eau de parfum with a matching shower gel and body lotion being available to layer the scent on the skin. A ...  Read the complete review

My wife is a bit of a perfume junkie, she doesn't drink or smoke but has an addiction to anything that smells nice which comes in pretty glass bottles. Over the years she has tried many of the celebrity fragrances that have launched, used them up and quickly moved on to the next new thing without looking back. However, there are a couple of perfumes that she has stuck with over time and one of them is My Queen by Alexander McQueen. Created and launched in 2005, this scent is described as: "Suave notes of sweet almond and violet open the scent, which settle into an accord of orange flower absolute, white musk, heliotrope and white flowers. ...  Read the complete review

My Queen Eau de Parfum by Alexander McQueen isn't one of those perfumes that is easy to get hold of anymore - although I am aware it can still be bought online. My partner bought me a 100ml bottle of it from www.theperfumesuperstore.co.uk for £35.00 but I'm fairly sure it can be got a little cheaper if you shop around. I've not seen it in the high street stores for absolutely ages - but luckily I do have a bottle sitting on my dressing table courtesy of my lovely partner (they're in my good books at the moment....I'm not always as complimentary!). This perfume comes in a small bottle that is an unusual shape. It is almost egg shaped (with the narrowest part ...  Read the complete review

My Queen is a very feminine smelling fragrance with its light, airy and very wearable qualities. Alexander McQueen gains inspiration from royalty and theatre hence the name of this perfume and his others including Kingdom. It was created in 2005. The bottle has a great design, McQueen is a fan of glass art and so, the bottle design reflects this with its elegance as well as McQueen's desire to make the bottle comfortable to hold in a woman's hand (I have to admit, it's easy to hold and spray). The perfume was designed to make any woman feel like a Queen. At first you can smell the blend of almond and violet until it settles and smells more floral ...  Read the complete review
