Baby Phat Dare Me ~ perfume review

Kimora Lee Simmons Dare MeBaby Phat Dare Me perfume

I said the other day that I’d have a hard time calling one of Elizabeth Taylor’s fragrances hilariously vile, but Kimora Lee Simmons doesn’t rate the same kid glove treatment — she’s just one more celebrity of whose existence I’d be blissfully unaware if she hadn’t jumped into the fragrance business. I was, I must say, mightily impressed with her legs in that ad, but a quick image search in Google justifies The A.V. Club’s claim that Ms. Simmons may have used up what remained of the world’s photoshop resources to make those legs. They are darned nice legs, but they’re clearly not her legs.

Dare Me, which launched earlier this spring under her Baby Phat line, is Simmons’ fifth fragrance, and she’s joined a number of her colleagues in the celebrity fragrance world in going downmarket: Dare Me is in mass market stores instead of Macy’s and the like, and can be had for a song (relatively speaking, of course).

Kimora Lee Simmons Baby Phat FabulosityFabulosity is the latest fragrance from Kimora Lee Simmons' Baby Phat line. A representative from Coty described her first scent, Goddess, as “kitschy and over the top”; perhaps they were referring to the packaging and advertising, as I found it pretty standard fare: a fresh, clean-ish floral, fairly sheer yet still too sweet for my taste, and not particularly memorable (in fact, I believe I commented here recently that I had never tried it on skin, but I was wrong — there is a whole paragraph on it in my testing notes). Apparently, it “succeeded beyond anyone's expectations”*, so there you are.

Fabulosity is the one I'd tag as over the top. Canada's National Post recently described it as “…an out-of-control Mr. Soft Cone truck…crashing into a Kool-Aid stand”, and that's pretty accurate for the top notes, which are mostly sweet, syrup-y fruit over a megadose of vanilla…
