Grandma’s makeup bag

When I sprayed Lipstick Fever it immediately reminded me of my grandmothers makeup bag with tiny samples of Avon lipsticks. She’d allow me to try them on. I didn’t realize it at the time, but they had a very distinctive smell to them.
I smell raspberries and a hint of vanilla. It’s a nostalgic smell, but not one I think I’d wear on a daily basis. I bought a 9 ml bottle, so have enough to play with.

Longevity four hours. Sillage is close unless I spray a lot.

Enjoyable on occasions.

Lipstick fruity scent

My favorite perfume from the Discovery set! What does it smell like? Well, what it promises ... Lipstick but the kind that smell good, the kind my mother and grandmother used when I was little. It also has the fruity touch of the raspberry that gives it a sweet spot and makes it more addictive.

The performance is very moderate, something that I have found in the entire line of the brand that I have tried, but in this case it compensates me with how much I like the smell. I would use it during the day at any time as it is sweet enough to sweeten winter days, but with a fresh and fruity touch that can help make summer days better.

As for quality, I can only repeat that it gives what it promises. It is certainly quite a synthetic scent, perhaps more reminiscent of designer perfumes than niche lines, but the lipstick effect is so successful that, at least in my case, it manages to make me forget all that and just want to go back to smell it more and more.

To finish, just comment that although certainly the color of the bottle, the name, the brand and the notes may suggest that it is a very feminine perfume, I see it perfectly wearable for a boy. Of course, knowing that you are wearing a perfume that is on the border. But for those men who enjoy fragrances like Dior homme or Gentleman by Givenchy I would encourage you to try it.

Slightly fruity lipstick scent

This is such a fun concept for a fragrance with a great execution. The raspberry brings a bit of sweetness and lift to the composition but isn’t tart or candy-like. It really does have a waxy feel reminiscent of a scented lipstick. I normally don’t like berry/fruit notes so I appreciate that it’s present but subtle. The real star here is a buttery orris, the perfect powdery lipstick-y kind of iris that I love. It feels ladylike but still fun and appropriate for just about any occasion. I actually like this better than Lipstick Rose, which was lovely but more rose than lipstick for me. I never had the chance to try the mythical Lipstick On but for now this has satisfied my lipstick fragrance cravings.

The Visit of the Old Lady

In search of a fitting title for this comment, I initially had "the whispered kiss" in mind due to the repeatedly mentioned weak sillage and longevity.

Then I tried to engage in free association. Lipstick Fever…Lippenstift Fieber…and I already had the image of one of those old ladies in mind who feverishly want to keep their younger selves visually alive and sometimes unfortunately overshoot the mark. The following appearance comes to mind: neatly to strikingly poppy dressed, with a blow-dried wave in hair that has more than a slight violet tint and boldly presented makeup. The lips are so heavily made up that their actual outline, due to multiple applications of lipstick and presumably also due to a less steady hand and sharp eye that comes with age, rivals today’s Botox practices.

The eponymous tragicomedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt was just another step in association, but apart from being the title giver, it plays no further role in this comment.

And I certainly do not mean to imply that "Lipstick Fever" is in any way old-fashioned or outdated.

About the scent:

As a member of the "Lipstick" affinity group here in this forum, I have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of my sample ;-) and have read the initial descriptions with great curiosity. After 3 days of personal testing, I can relate to almost all previous comments.

The similarity to "Replica - Lipstick On" is striking in the initial phase of the scent; I would even consider it a twin, although "Lipstick Fever" is, in my opinion, less waxy and a bit less sweet (which I am glad about), but more powdery.

A connection to Malle’s "Lipstick Rose" was also mentioned in a forum thread. The common denominator here, in my opinion, is the violet-powdery-lipstick projection throughout the scent. The Malle differs due to the prominent presence of rose and a vintage charm; both are absent in "Lipstick Fever".

The presented lipstick note is very authentic and quite wonderful at the beginning, but unfortunately, like all lipstick scents, it does not last very long in this form.

I can smell a slightly fruity raspberry at the beginning, but as it develops, I only perceive it as pleasantly light in projection; on my skin, it completely disappears, leaving nothing behind. The scent, when this lipstick-berry note wafts around me, somewhat reminds me of "French Kiss", although that one is much more intense and fruitier.

When I sniff directly on my skin after some time, I can unfortunately no longer perceive any lipstick scent. I then experience it more as a powdery-spicy violet/iris scent, as already described by @Serduszko. Another Guerlain scent came to mind, namely "Cuir Beluga". "Sweet" is only a minor note here, and the scent is absolutely unisex from that point on.

And I can also locate the piercing note described by @Baerlie, although I perceive it more as an unpleasant tickle in my nose.

With the slightly woody note that comes in later, it reminded me more of "Armani Privé - Rose d'Artiste" than "Liquid Illusion". The latter had a quite pronounced synthetic note for me, which, fortunately, does not exist in "Lipstick Fever".

In the projection, I can also perceive something pleasantly creamy from time to time; it smells very well-groomed and like good makeup.

As has often been observed, I can perceive the scent better and longer the more often I wear it. The mini-sprays from the original sample unfortunately do not provide much, and I can imagine that the scent sprayed directly from the bottle or from a pen shows much more substance and longevity.

Overall, I find the scent quite pleasing. It is certainly a pleasant companion that offers different facets around the nose and therefore does not become boring quickly. It beautifully balances between lipstick, slightly berry, powdery-spicy, creamy, and makeup-like. So none of it is new or particularly special (not meant negatively), but if you like these directions, you are probably well served.

To revisit the painted title image: unlike the lovable old lady with her makeup, you can’t really go wrong with this scent.

And considering the appealing red bottle, I can well imagine that the scent will find a place in my collection.

Oh yes, and I will order the lipstick-scented candle "Marilyn Candle" along with it. @Behaviour has made me very curious about that. Maybe it will bring the lasting lipstick wafts that the entire "lipstick faction" here dreams of ;-)

Addendum 2.6.2020: the bottle is very beautiful and high-quality. An extremely fine spray can be dosed. And another nice surprise: the silver writing shines iridescent in rainbow colors when it comes into contact with light.

Addendum 11.6.2020: I ultimately let the bottle go with a heavy heart because the scent was unfortunately indeed too weak for me and also too woody in the base.

Lips Are for Kissing

Hello you fragrance fanatics and welcome to my new scent report. Today I tried Lipstick Fever by Juliette Has A Gun, a brand I haven't tested in a while.

Lipstick… yes, there are quite a few fragrances that smell like lipstick, even among men's fragrances there is Dior Homme, which reminds me a bit of lipsticks (or at least something related to makeup). Personally, I absolutely love Dior Homme; it’s one of my favorite scents, especially the 2011 EDT version and the Intense.

Anyway, let’s see how this fragrance smells. Lipstick is always something nice, especially on women, aaah… now I have to think of all the girls, including saleswomen in the cosmetics or fragrance departments… they always have such great lipsticks on that practically scream “Kiss me!”… *sigh* If only one would dare, argh :DD

With my "luck," it would probably be some fury like Juliette with the gun who would chase me down or something, assuming of course I tried to kiss her! But since I wouldn't dare to do that, I would somehow be on the safe side? A blessing in disguise, so to speak? :D Bah, on the other hand, I could go on and on about how you girls are completely nuts anyway, no matter what a man does, but okay, I’ll leave that for now… he he. Alright, enough rambling and digressing. I’ll apply the fragrance and then see how it smells.

The Fragrance:

Right from the start, I am greeted by a very intense raspberry scent, which is fruity and sweet. There’s also powdery iris, probably mixed with violets.
Even later, I still smell a lot of fruity notes, as well as the powdery scents of the iris and violets. There’s a bit of patchouli in there, but it remains rather weak and never really becomes intense. This might be because the vanilla becomes more intense over time. Since vanilla is also a sweet, powdery scent, usually with a strong projection, it enhances the powdery scents of the iris, resulting in a soft fragrance where the patchouli only seems to come through occasionally.
Now and then, a very light synthetic note seems to appear, but I find this rather unbothersome, as it is weak and doesn’t smell awful; besides, it hardly appears later on.
Towards the end, the fragrance continues to smell vanilla-like and powdery, but the fruity notes have now disappeared.
All in all, a nice fragrance that doesn’t seem to have any particular strengths and mostly just smells nice and vanilla-like.

The Sillage and Longevity:

The sillage is moderate to okay; especially at the beginning, I think it will be quite noticeable before it starts to weaken a bit later on. The longevity is quite long, but this is due to the vanilla, and for more than half the duration, you mainly just smell the vanilla.

The Bottle:

The bottle is cylindrical and has a wine-red gradient from top to bottom. On the bottle, you can see the typical JHAG logo printed, with the name of the fragrance underneath. The cap is chrome-plated and, like most JHAG bottles, somewhat trapezoidal. All in all, a nice bottle with a beautiful color.

Conclusion:

So… now that my brother's wedding celebration is finally over, I can occasionally test a few fragrances again, at least as long as I have interesting samples or am in the city at a fragrance store where I can also test newer scents. In other words: Once I’ve tested a few fragrances again, I’ll be back to annoy all of you regularly as usual; I hope you enjoyed the time I was a bit less active here without me,… but now I’m back! Mu ha ha ha! Well, somewhat at least :D

He he, so I found this fragrance quite okay. Nothing extraordinarily exciting, but rather nice if you like sweet, fruity, and powdery scents, and of course also like vanilla, because in the end, it only smells like vanilla. You can wear it for going out since it smells pleasant, even if it has a slight synthetic touch at the beginning, which I don’t find too bad, and later you hardly notice it anymore. Seasonally, the fragrance is an all-rounder for me since it’s neither too heavy nor too light.

So, you can give the fragrance a try. It’s not a must, but you won’t go wrong if you “sacrifice an arm for it.”

That’s it from me again; have a lovely evening everyone, and see you next time :)
