Giorgio Beverley Hills Red Eau de Toilette 90ml

Product Information

Now, I never did wear RED that often, in fact, I probably could count on one hand, the number of times I reached for her and gave her a go in the first 6 months that I had her. She was the STRONGEST and LOUDEST perfume that I had EVER smelled at that point in my life (and I came of age in the ‘80’s people..so that’s sayin’ somethin’! LOL). Always Red was the first perfume I bought with my own money, so it will always be special for me. I blind buy most of my perfumes and this wasn't any different. The perfume bottle looked very attractive to me but I wasn't sure about the notes as I was just a newbie who knew nothing about notes. I gave this a try and I immediately fell in love! A lot of interesting things were going on all at once. When I first bought it and tried it on my skin this smelled floral and powdery, the rose note was prominent. Today, when I sprayed this on myself again, it smelled fruity and jammy. Definitely got the hint of orange, rose, plum, and quite unusually pomegranate. I dunno if it's my body chemistry or I was just a noob in the perfume world.

While it does smell a bit more on the sweet candy side of cherry, it's still pretty good. For comparison, it's not as lollipop candy-like as Sweet by Lolita Lempika, but not as boozy deep as Lost Cherry or Zara Cherry Smoothie. It's somewhere in between, maybe like a less sweet maraschino cherry. Slightly boozy as well but I find that dissipates through dry down. Whoa, 80's powerhouse indeed! Crimped hair, bright makeup and stone washed jeans! Actually, this is more the bitchin feathered hair, tight fitting dresses with big shoulder pads (think Dynasty, i.e. Joan Collins). It's still a powerhouse perfume and I love it for that! Same notes and that same beautiful, gorgeous and sultry fragrance I always remembered. I suppose the bottle I have is not the new Elizabeth Arden's version, since it says Procter and Gamble and is made in the UK. Well, it is one of the strongest fragrances I ever smelled. it is only EdT but smells as strong as if it were pure perfume. Personally, I am not very fond of carnation, and for that reason I do not find the scent marvelous. But I do like it a lot, since there are other things I do appreciate a lot in this fragrance: as well as the strength, it is dense, very complex, one can smell distinctly lots of notes at once, and there is a very good balance amongst the notes so that carnation scent is not really overwhelming. Together with carnation, the notes I feel more intensely are myhrr, sandalwood, amber, tuberose jasmine and hyacinth. It is at the same time dense and sweet from amber and jasmine, harsh from carnation and myrrh, powdery from sandalwood and tuberose, and still has a metalic edge from Hyacinth. I can feel those four textures at once, which is quite unusual. I think it is quite a good fragrance, and also find the bottle very beautiful.Until now, Im still in love with this perfume and no other perfumes have the same smell of RED. Very unique, classic & extra ordinary... I reminds me of SI, BUT NOT THE SAME. Anyways, this fragrance is a grown up dark, intense fruity-sweet fragrance. The ONLY thing that restrained me from buying one off the bat was a familiarity with Kimmora Lee Simmonds "Seductive Goddess," which I have in my olfactory arsenal. So then I figured I could use that and leave buying this for a little later. However, I hope it does not disappear off the shelves while still on my 'to buy list' I HATE it when that happens. Its starts really "red", reminds me red berries and..plum? possible! Somehow I would compare this fragrance with Cafe Cafe Intenso or Cacharel Amor Amor.

I get the lactonic accord and the light intensity from these notes : Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Almond, Sandalwood, Pink Pepper. |Seductive Red by Guess is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women. Seductive Red was launched in 2021. Top notes are Cherry, Almond and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Cherry Blossom, Violet and Magnolia; base notes are Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Sandalwood.

SweetRoses: I don't think you're allergic or that the bottle has gone bad on you. What you describe was my first impression as well, spot on! Burning (it actually felt like it was singeing my nose from the inside out), peppery, sharp, spikey - that's how Red opens. I hated it at first too. Very well-blended, it wears beautifully in the cold. I cannot wait to try once it gets warmer, I think the blood orange and rose notes will stand out much more. I imagine it will read a bit 'fleshier fruity' (thanks to the blood orange) with a smooth rose finish. Like many reviewers, I'd describe Always Red as smelling fairly dense and jammy, a bit boozy, quite deep and in some ways intense but not to hugely stink bomb levels. I disagree with many though who compare it to Si which I've sniffed a few times in department stores and I don't recall it smelling at all like this! As mentioned above though, it definitely reminds me of Alien in some ways but to me is a lot more likeable and (no pun intended!!) is far less alienating! Another perfume it reminds me of is a Chopard one I blind bought over the internet a few years ago which was in a heart shaped bottle but I can't remember the name of it and it since went AWOL (and it may have since been discontinued). That perfume also had the intense fruity 'jamminess' of Always Red but was less likeable to me. A very good take on the colour red....lends itself to a richness, the myrrh, the rose, the woods, the oakmoss, the tonka and osmanthus.... is everything I desired in a fragrance. It makes an impact with the spiciness in me - red! sangre! heat! spice and resin! and the bottle is astute, like "here I am Odette. I am for you too!"
