Perfume for Women Review: Fairy Dust by Paris Hilton

Fairy Dustby Paris Hilton is one of the latest fragrances in her collection of scents. With any fragrance collection by a celebrity, they either win or lose. 
 
I bet you are wondering where Paris Hilton's Fairy Dust stands.
 
I know many of you hate her, but there is still a huge following of fans, and personally I like her, and I have over the years enjoyed the fragrances in her collection.

When I first saw Fairy Dust I wanted to try it immediately. On the shelf at my local Target and priced fairly I added it to my Christmas wish-list and waited for Santa to come.

The bottle of Fairy Dust is did not really strike me as anything fairy-ish, it came in a simple transparent bottle that has a remarkably similar style to her Siren bottle. The bottles topper is blue, and its appearance made me think that it would smell like a beachy fragrance.

Fairy Dust comes with a small fairy etched onto the transparent glass, other than that though, there is nothing fairy about it.

It's a bottle that I'd probably throw out after the perfume is gone. I usually save perfume bottles when they appeal to me or are unique. Fairy Dust though, nope, to the trashcan she shall one day land.

The Scent:
 
Fairy Dust has a very powdery floral quality to it. Initially I smelled hyacinth and gardenia. The scent was nice, flowery and something I'd associate with when thinking of fairies. The perfume contains other notes; so it claims (prosecco accord, pink peony, orange blossom, gardenia, peach nectar, water Lilly, patchouli, cashmere musk and vanilla cream), but in all sincerity all I get from it is a quick powerful dash of gardenia and hyacinth.

Fairy Dust though is not very original, I've smelled the exact same smell before, and seriously if you went out and bought some gardenia oil, and burnt it in an oil burner you'd get the same scent for a much lower price. You could honestly buy gardenia oil, and apply it to your temples and you'd have the exact results of Fairy Dust, only the oil would probably last longer because Fairy Dust barely lasts a few minutes.

The scent fades away into nowhere-ville very quickly.

Overall:
 
Yes Fairy Dust is a decent perfume, but its totally been done before, and it's totally overpriced.
