    Hallie Berry is going to be pissed. But she shouldn’t be too mad, since these scents are so carefree and easygoing.

      LOL…but I would say she should be too mad because there are already so many perfumes with Orchid in the name, and if you don’t want other people to use similar names you should come up with something more creative ;-)

    What do purple orchids smell like? I’ve had both white and purple orchids before in the house (just regular ones from the corner flower shop) and I could swear they didn’t smell like anything… Maybe this orchid — used so often lately in perfumes — is some fancier variety?

      Maybe, or maybe it’s just made up like so many notes. Or maybe it’s a real orchid note but not really from a purple orchid. The possibilities are endless. (at any rate, there are a gajillion species of orchid, many of which are some shade or another of purple, and some of which are fragrant and some aren’t)

    Yum. This sounds pretty and for $25, you aren’t out too much if it turns out to be dull. And while the name isn’t exactly creative, sometimes perfume names can be too creative. I’m lookin’ at you, Womanity and Sexual Star. :)

    I still wear and love Acapella, which is quite similar to the original Divine but a good deal less expensive, if not quite as refined. It’s a gorgeous floral that has awesome lasting power and is one of my fave Mary Kay frags that’s of course been discontinued.

      True enough, although I’d rather save my money towards something I know I will adore!

    The picture has an Asian feel about it. So does the description of the fragrance actually. I wonder if they are in China.

    Am so envious of these fragrances that have matching body products. Why don’t other houses follow. More to the point, I want my Ananas Fizz Body cream back!!!! :-( :-( :-(
