How Is Halle Berry Like Jessica Simpson?

Today, I found myself at Kohls and I wasn’t wearing any perfume. Hey, I thought, this would be the perfect time to try out something new. I’d been wondering about the new Halle Berry scent, Halle, and there it was. I tried it on one arm and The Beat for Women on the other. Guess which one I liked better?

It’s not that Halle was unpleasant, because it wasn’t. It’s that it smells so much like any other celebrity fragrance out there. It smelled just like Jessica Simpson’s Fancy, to me. I looked at it and here is a comparison of the notes:

Fragrance Notes – Halle, by Halle Berry
Top: Fig, Pear Blossom, Bergamot
Middle: Mimose, Hibiscus, Freesia
Base: Cashmere Musk, Sandalwood, Amber, Incense

Fragrance Notes – Fancy, by Jessica Simpson
Top: Pear, Apricot Nectar, Red Fruits
Middle: Gardenia, Jasmine, Toasted Almonds
Base: Sandalwood, Vanilla Creme, Amber

Both are a Fruity Oriental. Nice, but why can’t they come up with something new and exciting and different?  Berry is a gorgeous bi-racial, Academy Award-winning actor, who had a baby well into her 40s with a super-hot younger man.  She’s so intriguing to me, so very original and unique. I guess I was hoping for something original and unique in terms of her scent.

The Beat for Women, well I loved that stuff. I’ll write more on it later.
