Review of Liz Perfume for Women, by Liz Claiborne

A long time ago I used to have to pay full retail price for perfume. However ever since a Marshall's opened up in town, retail prices were prices that only an idiot would pay. Every week Marshall's has something new, and every week I pick up yet another designer fragrance.

When I picked up Liz, I had no idea that this was a designer fragrance. I got it for $12.00, brand new, and sealed in its box. I figured it was a lower end fragrance. After looking closer though, I noted that Liz, was actually made by Liz Claiborne, and that my $12.00 purchase, usually comes to around $20.00 to $30.00, depending on what size bottle you pick up.

The Bottle:
 
When I got this one home, I was not sure what to expect. The bottle came packaged in a plain lavender and white colored rectangular shaped box. Nothing really stood out, besides the name that was etched at the bottom of the box.

When I opened the box, I pulled out a long and slender rectangular shaped bottle, with weird little groves pushed into the sides of the bottle. I suppose it's added so you don't drop the bottle, the groves give you some grip.

Although the bottle is interesting, it is not one I would keep once the perfume is all used up. It's a mediocre bottle, and nothing worthy of collecting as far as I'm concerned.

The Scent:
 
I spray of Liz Perfume for Women, by Liz Claiborne, and I immediately liked it. I was not hooked, nor was it a scent I would go crazy for. It's just a likable scent.

The first note that hit me was a refreshing one that reminded me of pears mixed with sugar. It's like a floral scent mixed with a honeysuckle flower that has been doused in powdered sugar. It's semi juvenile, and one that I recall smelling as a teenager.

The only difference is that this scent will actually last much longer than some body spray I remember from my teen years. I got nearly 5 hours of recognized notes from Liz, and for the price, that's really decent wear time. I know of high priced perfume that does not even last half that long!

Overall:
 
For $12.00 I would definitely buy this one again. I like having it on me, and carry it in my bag. I don't worry about the bottle breaking considering the low price I got it for. It is perfect for day wear, and a scent that many would associate with Spring.

Where To Buy:
 
If you have a local Marshall's try to find it there. If not, check online for really low priced deals on Liz.
