Pros: Sweet smelling and reasonably priced for 3.4 oz. Bottle is pretty.
Cons: lasting power is not long and it is not a unique fragrance.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this fragrance as far a price is considered. It is an average scent, not terrible, but not that incredible. LLike I said, it is an average scent.
nancy1972's Full Review: Realities Sweet Desire Perfume by Eau De Parfum Sp...
My review on Sweet Desire by Realities Eau de Parfum 3.4 oz spray.
How I came upon this fragrance:
While browsing in Macy's one afternoon, I happened to spot 2 fragrances from this company, Sweet Desire and Realites. I sprayed each on a different wrist and went home to decide which of the two I liked better. The Realites, I felt was just a basic floral, nothing too special about it, but I had liked how Sweet Desire smelled on me. I didn't check out the prices in Macy's, so can't tell you how much it cost there. A few weeks later, I decided to check out prices for this fragrance on the web and see what it cost. The prices for Sweet Desire in 3.4 oz were pretty reasonable, to say the least. I purchased my bottle from Overstock.com for $18.90 and they were having Shipping for $1.00, so I took the plunge and went for it.
Description of the bottle:
The bottle is really very pretty, featuring frosted flowers on the bottle. The glass is a purple fushcia that is dark on the bottom and the color lightens up at the top. The cap is a basic clear plastic cap. It looks very nice on my dresser. It is available in 1.7 oz size and 3.4 oz Eau De Parfume.
Description of the fragrance:
Sweet Desire is classified as a oriental Floral.
Top notes are: Lichi, Black Currant, citrus, & bergamot Middle notes are: Mimosa,orange blossom, rose, & Jasmine Bottom notes are:Honey, Sandalwood,Amber, Patchouli, musk, & Vanilla. It was introduced in the market in 2007.
My impression of this fragrance:
I have this fragrance for about a month already. I found Sweet desire to be sweet, floral and a fruity fragrance. I would say this is a light to medium weight scent. It's lasting power is so-so. I would say 2 -3 hours tops. I apply the scent rather generously and the scent would disappear on me. I was hoping that since it was an Eau De parfume, (which has a higher concentration of oils than an Eau de Toiliette) it would have a longer staying power, but that did not seem to be the case with me. It isn't really a unique fragrance. Given that it was inexpensive, I don't regret my purchase and will use, when I want something not long lasting. The bottle is really nice to look at.
I suggest this fragrance for Fall use. It is also suggested for casual use.
Prices: Prices on this fragrance varies. Like I suggested in other reviews, if you want to save money, I suggest testers. In this case, I bought an original, so it came in a purple box and the cap. A tester in this scent would come in a plain cardboard box and no cap. I have seen a tester sell for $13.90 in 3.4 oz size in this scent.
I purchased my from Overstock.com. for $18.90. I have seen this retail from $12.99(for a tester) to $55.00 at a department store. So please shop around before you make your purchase.
