Short on identity and quantity, 4 Oct. 2015

Starting with the box, I was less than impressed because the bottle of perfume literally fell out before I'd had a chance to try and open it, and it was just luck that I caught the bottle before any damage was done. The internal parts of the box are weak and insubstantial. To be honest I have a strong feeling that I was sent a 'pre-owned' example; it's hard to say if the perfume itself had been used, but the box looked second-hand, outside and inside. So immediate impressions were disappointing but in fairness I was probably unlucky and this is not something a buyer of the product can expect to happen.

Much more important, of course, is the actual product. It's quite small and even a bit slippery to hold, easy to drop I would imagine. And 50ml seems a bit mean given the current price - the box gives the impression that you get more than you actually do. The three ladies in my family were in agreement on the smell of the perfume - lacking in any defined character and the...

Almost 50 and i loved it, 5 Oct. 2015

I was really excited to be offered perfume to test, but was put off by all the reviews on it so far, however reviews are subjective and for me i dont agree.I am almost 50 and i love this, i cannot sit here and bang on about top notes, base notes, bblah blah because apart from a professional nobody could tell you the notes in anything, its ridiculous, all i know is that it smells of vanilla and the faint hint of jasmine and thats all i can smell, however as they are 2 of my favourite smells that makes me happy.Mine lasted a good 6 hours, and i kept smelling my wrist i liked it so much. On me it smells sophisticated and sexy, now not everyones skin will like it and not everyone likes vanilla, but it suits me very well.Very impressed and would buy again. Thanks Katy and Coty :)

One for the kids, 3 Oct. 2015

I have tried most of Katy's perfumes and what I have found is that they all have quite a sweet base in common, they are all what I would class as a young girls perfume, being around twenty quid , sweet smelling in fun packaging with a funky design to appeal to a younger audience.

The smell of "mad" is nice, full on vanilla and sugar, a little bit like custard if I'm honest, however the problem is that it fades very quickly.

Now if you are 12 and love playing with the funky bottle this isn't a problem because you will love the excuse to spray more perfume on, if you are older and looking for a perfume that will last the day so you can put some on in the morning before you head to work and forget about it -this is not the perfume for you.

Pros

Nice sweet vanilla smell

Cheap

Cons

Scent fades very quickly....a couple of hours max.

The bottle looks very pink ( it's the perfume that makes it look like this as the actual bottle is frosted...
