The nice people at Harvey Prince gave us their Holiday Gift Set to do a giveaway on to some lucky commenters. I thought about giving it away as a group set, but decided since there are six of them, it would be more fun to have six winners. Six commenters on today’s post will be drawn at random and get one of the bottles.
These are 8.8 ml mini roll-ons of each of the following:
- Ageless: The scent that defies age. Crisp, inviting notes of pink grapefruit, pomegranate, luscious mango.
- Eau Flirt: The magical scent that flirts for you. Its warm, tempting notes of pumpkin pie & lavender are irresistible.
- Eau Fling: Light, casual, charming. Playful notes of pumpkin, jasmine, raspberry, black currant.
- Coupling: For making him all yours. Aromatic cinnamon, nutmeg, enchanting gardenia, fresh cucumber.
- Eau de Lite: The diet perfume. Crave-resistant rosemary, peppermint, green apple, sandalwood, fennel.
- Eau de Creme: The rush of your favorite scoop. Pink passion fruit, rum raisin, vanilla, dark chocolate.
I didn’t sample any of these because they are roll-ons, and I didn’t want to muck up what would be given to six of you with using it on me, that just seemed, well, wrong somehow. Not that there’s anything wrong with my skin, but I broke my arm when I was in 1st grade, and they had to rebreak it midway into healing because it didn’t set right, and I all too well remember the smell of dead skin under that cast that didn’t get sloughed off through washing. I mean, ew, I’ve a freak about dead skin since then. The scars of scent that are left on you in childhood.
But a quick sniff by uncapping them, they are light and seem really fresh and fun. According to their material, they use no animal testing, phthalates, parabens, sulfates, benzene, GMOs, or triclosan. A plus for sure.
But as I’m busying around today, trying to get some pressing things done and make it in time for the “Bring It On” musical tonight (yesterday when I was writing this), we’ll just have to talk about other things since my mind is completely blowing off in 3,000 different directions. And I am coming up completely blank! So how about a nice simple, what perfume is in constant rotation for you these days? Mine is, surprisingly, that Angel Taste of Fragrance. Even more weird when I hate Angel. I have to do a whole post sometime on how to wear Angel for people who hate Angel, or did I already do that?

I’ve heard so much about Eau Flirt…it sounds like the perfume I’ve been searching up and down for! Must smell amazing.
Eau de Creme sounds delicious too…I wish these perfumes were sold somewhere in New York!
Haven’t been wearing anything at all, but the Ageless sounds delightful!
Sweet Redemption has gotten me through some cold, snowy days lately. Eau de Creme sounds yummy!
“the diet perfume”? What a bizarre concept. Still, I’d like to try these!
I’ve been wearing a lot of Theorema — so lovely, that scent. I got the Ineke sample set for Christmas, and I’ve been trotting those out a lot as well. Evening Edged in Gold is wonderful!
Heavy rotation-Coco, Miriam(sample almost finished), Chanel #19 Poudre (gift from BF).
Would like to try Eau Flirt or Coupling…thanks for the draw.
I would like to try Eau Flirt. I tried Ageless and sadly it just didn’t work on me, nor do I look any younger! Lol
Lately I’ve been wearing Chantecaille Kalimantan. Though only because I had just recently found Vanilia by L’Artisan, fell madly in love, then found out it was discontinued!! Oh no! So, Kalimantan is pacifying me, but like a second class, albeit expenisve, mistress. ?
L’eau de Kasaneka is my heavy rotation choice right now. Also, Alahine! They both seem to suit the mood, for me lately. I’ve been curious about Eau Flirt, and never miss a chance to check out how a fragrance does pumpkin.
heavy rotation-Prada Candy, it’s cold and I need the benzoin
last very nice sample: Bottega Veneta which I like/love- do not laugh: where I live it’s impossible to find and I had to buy a sample in order to know what people talk about
thanks for the draw
This is so nice of you! I’d love to finally try one of these out – everyone keeps raving about them and I’d like to switch things up from my usual Prada Intense :)
Funny, I went through 2 bottled of Angel, back in the day. I recently gave it a visit at the perfume counter…kinda miss it a little. I don’t like the variations on Angel. A fresher, similar perfume is Nirmala by Molinard.
Lately I’m on a big tuberose kick – I can’t stop trying new ones!
Thanks for the draw!!
Wearing Dior’s Mitzah frequently since I got a nice decant for Christmas! Hope the draw is still open, I’d love to try several of these…Coupling and Eau Flirt sound very interesting! Thanks for the chance.:)
I have my cold weather beauties on rotation – Coco parfum, Theo Fennell, Jubilation 25, Rochas Femme and a rather lovely Chypre thing called Guadalajara that I bought from a weird little perfumery in Antwerp (In-Fine). All warm, rich and complex.
I can’t get off the Natori-go-round these days, nor do I want to! I love that juice. Badgley Mischka gets a lot of wear too. It’s been too warm and wet most days where I live to get out the heavy winter artillery ambers and Orientals.
I would love to be entered in the draw, thank you! :-)
Currently wearing Chaos a lot, as well as A Taste of Heaven (my sample is nearly gone…sob) and Costume National 21. Thanks for the draw- Coupling and Eau Flirt sound interesting!
Oh God I meant to say Eau Flirt, Eau FLING and Eau De Creme. Damn these Hands!!!!
I’ve been into the vanillas lately. Thanks for the draw! :-)
Eau Flirt and Eau Flirt and Eau De Creme sound gorgeous to me. I’m not really reaching for anything in particular lately. I’m wearing L’Artisan Nuit De Tubereuse today. Yesterday I wore Vincent Camuto (won it online)It’s not something I usually go for, but it’s not to bad. Day before I wore Honey and The Moon from Tokyo Milk. So I guess I’m Miss Eclectic. :0)
Hmm, haven’t heard of this line before…
I like Fantasy by Britney Spears
I’m heavily into Montblanc Femme Individuelle, Bvlgari Black and Encre Noir. All good stuff for this time of year, but I’m not picky about when I wear them.
The scent most in rotation for me? Right now, no perfume, just original Nivea cream, as my skin’s going nuts with the cold-warm-cold spells of weather we’re having where I live. I enjoy the scent of it tremendously, it reminds me of Christmases with my relatives :)
NP
Please don’t enter me in the draw as I’ve tried the Harvey Prince fragrances, thanks to their nice PR gal, Elle. ( FWIW, I liked Eau Fling and Coupling, found Ageless and Eau Flirt pleasant but uncompelling, and absolutely hated Eau de Lite and Eau de Creme.)
Have been sampling a lot of things recently, but Memoir Woman remains the “Wow, this is great – but why do I like it? It’s So Not Me!” scent I keep returning to. Other than Memoir, anything tuberose is keeping me happy.
(CRAP! Kept forgetting to update my sign-in info, until just now. This reply has the new blogsite addy correct.)
Lann-Ael and Douce Amere have been the go-to scents for the past few weeks; I’m in a sweet and sugary phase, I guess. Never thought I’d want to smell like fairy dust or orange creamsicle, but there you go.
Me and I Love Les Carottes have been inseperable through sunny winter days.
I just love Ralph Lauren eau de cologne. Smells fresh and manly.
I am not very perfume, I know. really weird for a woman, but I love me some Victoria’s secret anything smelling vanilla!
I adore fragrance and put it on daily! Actually,
I feel naked without smelling great…
Currently, I use Tresor, Romance and Princess.
Many thanks, Cindi
Coco, Black Cashmere, Pacifica Spanish Amber and Tibetan Mountain Temple are in full swing around these parts! It is FREEZING in NJ and I need these warm, comforting gals to snuggle up with.
Please enter me in the draw…never heard of this line.
I recently scored a vintage bottle of Bellodgia on the ‘bay and keep going back to it every couple of days. At this rate, I’ll blow through it in no time, then be sad it’s gone, but oh well. I love carnations and I love spicy scents in cold weather, so it’s been the perfect scent storm for me this January.
I’ve been revisiting frags I tried a year ago that I loved. Strangely, my opinion has changed slightly to pretty drastically. This draw sounds fun!
I got a sample of flowerbomb; it lasts two days so I dont need to reaply often!
No draw for me – just stopping by to say hey! My perfume choices have been crazy, most limited to what I can smell – Iris Poudre body cream is a clear fave right now….:-?…ditto Epic body cream and Carnal Flower….you guessed it…BODY CREAM…
what’s with the body cream? Seems it slickers the fragrance around better for me, makes it easier to smell.
xo >-)
I wonder if you could smell that new Opus Oils scent?
a couple of folks asked me that when I first posted….dunno..:-? the strangest things flicker in and out…wore Portrait of a Lady creme day before – VERY present. But can’t smell the perfume as easily. Wearing new Ubar today – very faint, like it’s been diluted in water… it almost smells like an aftershave..weird
xo >-)
So happy you found some things that you can easily sniff!
so am I!
xo >-)
Oh I’ll bite and enter the contest.
On my rotation lately has been Prada L’Eau Ambree.
I’d like to hear about angel for nonangels too. I had a quick sniff of the gout concept and was “attracted”. Lately been wearing FM Musc Ravageur and Givenchy’s Organza Indecence…..both foodie spice fests..
OJ Woman and Bottega Veneta seem to be the most common with SDV before bed.
Lately it’s been Neil Morris’ Scrumptious. It smells like its name and is one of those anytime, always-appropriate fragrances.
Weather here can’t quite make up its mind – 70’s one day, 30’s the next. In my rotation are Ormonde Jayne Woman (cold days) and Tocca Bianca (warmer ones).
How funny, I hate Angel and I wound up liking and wearing Angel Taste of Fragrance too — it’s sooo good, until it turns into plain Angel the next day on your clothes. They should make a Febreze for department-store patchouli drydown.
SDV is in high rotation. Tasty.
These sound interesting. Very cold here in Ohio and no sun (of course), so I usually am drawn to my spicy and somewhat gourmand fragrances. I made a blind purchase of Roberto Cavalli Oro last year and have worn it many times and have gotten compliments on it. I just saw a lonely bottle at my Marshall’s last week.
Eau Fling sounds like a lot of fun! These days, I’m a Mugler girl, too. Mostly Alien Liqueur de Parfum, and the Chocolate Angel, which I love to wear at night, gives me good dreams. I bought the latter unsniffed, but am so happy I did! It’s my favorite of the Angel family. Even my DH, who loathes Angel, likes this one. The new Alien with caramel is lovely, too, though much lighter than the Angel,and I haven’t tried the chutney Womanity.
Masha:
I have the Angel Liqueur de Parfum, and would love to try the Alien LdP; when Swapmania comes around, could we swap samples?
Unfortunately I am a wear something different every day person. Please enter me in the draw.
I’ve been using Joy a bit lately (just bought a small bottle) and also Chamade. I’m usually such an oriental/spice person, so what’s going on here?
Thanks for the draw. Some of them sound lovely, and the names are cute.
Seeing as how I’m probably the oldest person that reads your blog, I’ll put a plug in for Ageless! Seriously, it sounds nice to me. I have been wearing L’Artisan Poivre Piquant lately, I think because it’s kind of mindless, nice and inoffensive and I’ve been stressed, so don’t want to think too much about what perfume I’m spraying.
I don’t need to be entered into the draw, but wanted to add my ascent for the angel for non-angel wearers post!
I’ve been in a total patch phase, it seems to be the only thing that can stand up to the cold. Heavy rotation: Coromandel, Prada Amber, Tabu.
MMMMMMMMmmm Tabu! I may have to pop some on (after some sorting of my fume wardrobe prior to the Swapmania-Tabu is so enveloping that it would be a bit hard to evaluate anything else!)
It’s cold, I’m ultra-busy and undergoing the general harrassment of event planning, so I’ve worn my Amouage Lyric for Women twice this week.
Thanks for the draw – these sound fun.
I’m in a patchouli phase at the moment and have been esp enjoying Prada Intense. I’ve had a sizey decant lying around for yrs and just found it not long ago. Very nice.
I have been layering Candy with Passage d’Enfer to give it more sniff time. Its pleasant enough but did not blow me away on its own.
I will put on some Angel today thanks to your post and wish I had samples of all the flankers. They do seem like good ideas, they just never made it to a top spot on my to try list.
Flirt, Coupling or Creme sound good!
Keiko Mecheri, Confetto, Bois d’Armenie, Cuir Beluga, SDV and all my beautiful Guerlains I have fallen back in love with! (I even wore LPRN 2, which I had bought blind and was disappointed in, yesterday and was surprised how nice it was (dh even loved it). I thought it very underwhelming the first several times and have not touched it for over a year, but maybe it wasn’t such a bad purchase after all!
