Name: Believe
Brand: Britney Spears for Elizabeth Arden
Size: 1.07oz
Price: 48$
From Elizabeth Arden’s website:
Sensual and warm. Delicate and feminine. A sparkling blend of exotic fruits, soft florals and seductive amber. For an added personal touch, a lustrous silver plate engraved with Britney’s signature rests on top of the bottle.
What I liked:
- smells nice
- the packaging
What I didn’t like:
- although the scent is lovely, it’s not unique
- doesn’t last all day
Believe is a floral, fruity fragrance. It has top notes of guava pulp and golden tangerine, a heart of honeysuckle and linden blossom and a dry down of patchouli, amber and pink pralines. The fragrance is sweet and wearable. It is quite strong at first but not overpowering and calms down after a short while. However, there is nothing distinctive about it. The staying power is just ok. It only lasts for several hours.
The packaging is gorgeous. The green bottle is very modern, unique and fierce.
Summary:
Overall, this is a nice fragrance. It’s not very expensive, the packaging is beautiful and smells lovely. However, there is nothing distinctive about it that makes it stand out from the rest. And the staying power isn’t that great either.
Rating: 3/5

Haha, I could never wear it just because it’s Britney Spears! Same reason I wouldn’t wear Maria Sharapova’s perfume (I can’t stand her!)
I replied to the comment about Sleek make-up, and will let you know when I manage to take proper swatches of everything & have done a proper review. Am totally excited about them though ;D
I could never understand why Britney Spears is that popular. She can’t sing, she can’t dance, but I do have to agree she’s pretty. Her sons are cute too!
Britney Spears is popular because she’s pretty. Makes me wonder why Jade Goody is popular, considering she’s a talentless moron who hasn’t contributed anything and looks awful.
I think the real “celebrities” ought to be Cancer Research doctors and Nobel Prize winners. I’d buy their perfume.
Anastasia, thanks for the reply to the comment, I’ll go and check it now. I’m really interested in Sleek cosmetics, they seem great!
I don’t really have a problem about wearing celeb fragrances. I’ll wear it even if I don’t like the celeb, esp if it’s free. I found a website where you could request a sample of the perfume for free and thought why not? It took ages to arrive though. I am not going to buy it anyway, smells nice but it didn’t impress me.
I have to say I like some Britney songs but I agree that she can’t sing and so shouldn’t be so popular. But at least, love her or hate her, she has released a few albums. What has Jade Goody done apart from appearing on Big Brother years ago? She isn’t pretty, talented or interested and I can’t understand why people still talk about her. I agree with you Anastacia, doctors and Nobel Prize winners should be the real celebs.
