Cosmic Radiance is a celebrity fragrance by Britney Spears, I have the 100ml bottle which looks very attractive in its chunky glass bottle with large gemstones in a monochrome design for quite a 60s appearance.

The perfume is very strong when first sprayed and has a very floral opening, it's not at all subtle and hovers around me when I wear it so the perfume isn't suitable for all occasions. I think it's best for evening wear but to be honest I prefer to use one of my classier perfumes when going out with my husband. It would be nice to use it on a girls night out or to make a statement at a coffee morning, I will wear it to work if I'm visiting one of my younger ladies but am very aware that this is the type of perfume that some of my older clients would not appreciate.

Top Notes: Mandarin, Lychee and Pear.

It's odd that the perfume smells so floral when it has such fruity top notes, I can detect the citrus mandarin but this doesn't come through as a top note as I've worn the perfume for some time before anything other than a strong jasmine fragrance comes through.

Middle Notes: Gardenia, Night Blooming Jasmine, Tuberose and Peoney

These are the true top notes of Cosmic Radiance as I've said above, the jasmine is the only one I can smell and it's very synthetic but very nice. I think the other florals mix with the lychee and pear as the mix is a pleasant one and gives the perfume a youthful attitude.

Base Notes: Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla and Musk

The vanilla is the main lingering fragrance of Cosmic Radiance and this is very sweet and girly, the amber and sandalwood are there as a soft woody base and this tones the vanilla slightly to create a long lasting warm sweetness.

I think this is a nice perfume, there are others I prefer but sometimes I'll spray Cosmic Radiance for a change. I'm always pleased with how long the perfume lasts, you don't need to use too much to give you a six hour minimum fragrance and it can be smelled on clothing for even longer than this.
