Really, what else is there to say? ;) No, seriously...this vanilla is soft and sultry instead of the gooey sweet ones out there that smell like food. It's sensual and warm. Unfortunately, it doesn't last all that long but I get tons of compliments on it. The saleslady tried to sell this to me as 'inexpensive.' If you wear lots of fragrances, fine-it's $22.50. But it's only 1/3 the volume of an average 1-point 7 oz bottle elsewhere, so truly it's MORE expensive than most EDT, at $67.50 for the cost of 3 to equal it out. For me, since I am noncommital about anything other than Tom Ford, MV2 is an awesome choice.

This is the very distinct scent of Benefit. The entire Bathina line smells this way...soft, lightly flowery and musky. It's pretty timeless, but I'd have to say it's probably best suited for a woman under 40 as it is rather young smelling. Not at all cloying or tacky fruity like the strains of fragrances such as Paris Hilton and Vera Wang Princess. It's more sophisticated than that. Actually, that would be a great way to describe it. If you're around 25 and looking for your first grown-up scent, this is a really good transitional one. Men like it...it has an easy wearability that's warm like when you just get out of the shower.

This is an awesome moisturizing shampoo. It leaves my hair silky soft without the need for conditioner. I find that after a couple of days I have massive buildup on my hair. I would recommend this shampoo to anyone who doesn't mind switching between a couple shampoos every few days.

This is a very basic spray-in thermal protectant. It offers no change to the texture or sheen of the hair, which I thought was disappointing. I personally find it better to use a serum that will help blowdry faster, detangle, and add shine. 4 stars because CHI cmells great. Otherwise I really find this product to be useless.

No aluminum or parabens...hooray! Smells good, like tea tree oil. It does leave a mildly sticky feel...but you can use a little powder/cornstarch to remedy that!

Awapuhi is a softly scented, fairly gentle shampoo. It doesn't kick up a ton of lather but will get your hair nice and clean nonetheless. I don't recommend this for anyone with color-treated hair...I find it lacks the moisturizing properties that a color shampoo has. It is color safe, meaning it won't strip your hair. I'd recommend this shampoo for someone with natural hair (no chemicals have touched it). It's a simple, nice shampoo that delivers consistent results and won't leave build-up on the hair. It also makes a nice body wash.

I am a stylist. A gal at my local beauty supply gave me a sample of this, as well as the conditioner and the intensive treatment. It's fantastic. It's a little old-fashioned...it has a smell reminiscent of shampoos when I was a kid-but I dig that. The shampoo lathers well, and when used with the conditioner does indeed make your hair very soft. The regular conditioner is lovely if you leave it in for a few minutes-say, while shaving your legs! The intensive treatment...it's $20 bucks retails and I don't know that it's necessary given the effectiveness of the regular conditioner. This is one of the few lines that has lived up to the statement NO BUILDUP. I have traditionally been a Paul Mitchell girl and while I still think they are a great value---their smoothing shampoo made my hair and scalp greasy and eventually my hair limp and lifeless. Not so in the least with this. This feels very luxurious for the money.
