    I shall – I’m getting lots of requests for a review of it.

    try D&G light blue is amazing =] just a lil pricey for me

    Well, of course I’m flattered to hear that, but also want to encourage you to use my reviews as a guide & not as the be-all, end-all law. & if you get compliments on The Beat, those are the best reviews of all!

    Since I posted this review, I’ve come to realize that there aren’t many fragrances out there that fill the spot that The Beat does: a subtle, spicy-woodsy-tea scent that isn’t sugary sweet like most teen-oriented perfumes. & it must be commended for that.

    Light Blue is on my to-do list

    i really like your …
    i really like your reviews and as silly as it may sound, i only buy fragrances that you approve of. i bought this fragrance before seeing your review, and it does smell almost like a generic magazine strip.. i still like wearing it because I get many compliments on how pretty i smell. I suppose it smells less generic on me.. lol. Can you do a review on Dolce and Gabbana’s light blue when you get the chance? I would appreciate it!

    Mona, it’s the ol’ “thrill of the chase” scenario. I’m the same way.

    I really liked this perfume when I sprayed myself at Macy’s and bought a bottle, but it isn’t so exciting and amazing smelling now that I have a huge bottle =( lol

    Heh! Some guys are stuck in their caveman tastes: “mmm…pretty…bleached blondie…boobies…smells like candy…me likeee!”

    @raddestqueen

    I always wondered about that! My boyfriends always turned their noses away at my favourite perfumes but drolled when I got harassed by the perfume spritzing maniac at the mall dispensing what can only be described as a rotten fruitbowl drenched in strawberry koolaid…

    I do try to give a …
    I do try to give a very descriptive overview of the scents I review, & my images and metaphors are unconventional, but I try hard to bring the smell to life.

    I actually enjoy most of the fragrances I discuss…you can see my “thumbs up” reviews under my “Katie’s Favorites” playlist.

    Admittedly, The Beat wasn’t one of my faves, but I’ve since come to acknowledge that there’s really nothing else like it on the market that hits that spicy, not-to-sweet spot. So I give it credit for that.

    It seems like you don’t like any of the perfumes that you “smell”.

  15. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    Hmm, “product”. That’s funny.

    As you now know, I have zero smell-ability.
    Once I asked a boy what Baby Oil smelled like.
    He said, “Product”
    This review is so much more enlightening and I can imagine “Chemical” as being producty / synthetic. “Turn the page”

    I thought it …
    I thought it smelled alot like peony flowers, watered down, like I could hardly smell it. I was dissappointed too, I like to think of this perfume as hipster catnip; lol

  18. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    I’m finding Lola a …
    I’m finding Lola a little harsh and woody and annoying. I prefer the new Nanette by Nanette Lapore a nicer version of that woody/spicy/floral thing.

    If you love The Beat, I wonder what you’d think of D&G Anthology #6, L’Amoureaux? I’m trying to figure out if they hit the same spot.

  19. SamMCee says:

    Could you do a …
    Could you do a review on Lola by Marc Jacobs? I’m wearing it today, but I’m not sure how I like it. Apparently it was really successful in Europe and has been around for a long time.

    The beat is a wonderful perfume I always get compliment when I’m wearing it . :)

    Go figure!
    Go figure!

  22. raddestqueen says:

    lol The perfume …
    lol The perfume that I get the most compliments on smells very generic to me– it’s by Candies. Guys go crazy over it, but I feel like smells like every other magazine sample out there : / Weird!

  23. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    Hi Aubrey – Glad …
    Hi Aubrey – Glad you got a chuckle out of Kanye interrupting me. He’s everywhere!

    I haven’t smell those 2 perfumes you mentioned.

  24. girl123interrupted says:

    Hey Katie have you …
    Hey Katie have you smelled Guess Gold and Burberry Brit? what do they smell like? I liked your Kanye West “best perfume of all time” vid ha ha

    It’s not a bad odor, just a very distinctive one. It smells like vanilla plastic.
