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

I haven’t smell those 2 perfumes you mentioned.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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”.

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”

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

Well, of course I’m …
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
