MY REVIEW OF FAME
Okay so I was in the mall yesterday at Dillard's. I thought "Hey let me ask someone if I can smell Fame" (since it is out Wednesday they should have it somewhere)
I asked the saleswoman if they have Fame. She looks confused and quickly answered, "We don't have that yet." As I started to walk away, she asked, "Oh who is it by." I, of course, said Lady Gaga. She said oh yes we just got that in last week but it doesn't officially go on display until Wednesday but I can let you smell it early.
I was literally doing this gif in my head ---
She pulled it out from under the cases - the box, the bottle, the top, all looked like the pictures. And the black liquid looked so neat in the bottle. I died inside. She sprayed some on a small strip and I smelt it......
okay spoilers... are you ready? At first I was like OH, well, um, this is STRONG. It smelt nothing like I thought it would. I'll be honest, at first I wasn't really feeling it. It reminded me of a strong Elizabeth Arden perfume. I then asked the lady if I could spray some on myself. She said sure! After I let the perfume set a little I started to really like it (or was that the delusion in me, lol. It really did get better smelling) The sales lady scanned it and said it comes in that one size, which in 55 dollars and she said, "Wow, that's not bad for it being a special perfume." I said thanks and fan girled walked away with my little white piece of paper sample and my left wrist smelling like FAME.
THE SMELL:
The smell is WAY different than I thought it would be (not that it's a bad thing)
The smell, as i said is strong at first. It's like a musk smell and as it sits it begins to get flowery. I must say that being a female I have smelt/had many perfumes and this perfume doesn't smell unisex to me. It has a very mature smell, almost as something a lady Gaga's age or a little older would wear in contrast to Britney Spears' perfume or Viva La Juicy, which has a young, fun smell. The smell, however, does wear better on the skin/clothing rather than on test samples and strips.
