It used to be that if a celebrity had just a fragrance they would just create one signature scent and that would be it. Today's celebrities often create more than one scent and today I'm digging into my prize closet to offer you a choice of two scents from Parlux: Paris Hilton's fourth, Can Can or Jessica Simpson's first since her Dessert line, Fancy.
Can Can Paris Hilton was inspired by the Can-Can dancers of the Moulin Rouge. I'm no fan of Hilton's Heiress which is basically bubblegum in a bottle but this one is a little spicier with some amber and musk notes. It still overwhelms with a big presentation of clementine flower, cassis, nectarine, wild orchid and orange blossom but it settles into a fruity floral that it a little sexier and more grown up than Paris Hilton's other scents.
Jessica Simpson Fancy recently came out and like the Paris Hilton's scents it's more girly than womanly. The scent has notes of pear, apricot nectar, gardenia, almonds, vanilla and amber. This scent does echo the candy-like scents of the Dessert line but with an added dose of light floral. The scent mellows into a soft amber with a sugary vanilla core. It's not exactly complex but its sweet and uncomplicated nature reflects the woman it was created for.

You can keep em.
Is that mean? It's just they don't seem luxurious to me.
And who has won all those other prizes in the past? I've never seen a listing about that.

I would prefer Jessica Simpson's "Fancy" only because based on the names of the fragrances; I would want to smell fancy rather than the luring of the Las Vegas strip.

Why would anyone buy a perfume just because someone who gets their pictures in the paper has their name on it?

I would LOVE Jessica Simpson's Fancy because she comes across as so down-to-earth, sweet, and charming! Not to mention she is a fantastic singer and I love dancing to her song "Come On Over" when I'm feeling down. Fancy sounds like a super fun and super flirty scent -- perfect for someone like me!

Definitely would prefer Jessica's better.. Paris just seems too trashy to be nice about it, though Jessica's ditsy personality is something to be desired.. it is better,

My choice would be Paris Hilton's Can Can. You've done a great job with the descriptions and I feel my wife (who would get the Fragrance) would like my choice. No negative reflection on Ms. Simpson, it might suit a younger woman better. Now having said that, my wife will always be young in my eyes.

Hmm I could go for either one :) I agree that the Paris bottle is cute and that's why I like it. Yet, the scent of Jessica's sounds like it might be better :)
If I have to pick just one, I'll say Jessica, but you can sign me up for both :D

I'd love Paris Hilton's Can Can because I'm not a big fan of gardenia, in jessica's, and I like some of Paris's other perfumes.

I'd prefer Jessica's simply because I wouldn't touch anything Paris puts her name on, but also because I like the mix of undertones. *Thanks* for the giveaway!
