Just about everyone has a fragrance these days and Halle Berry is no newcomer in the beauty world. With four signature scents under her belt she recently released her 5th and newest fragrance”Closer” which is a  fresh floral fragrance that blends the traditionally masculine fougere accord with tantalizing floral notes. The result of this fusion is a woodsy floral fougere that’s ideal for the fall season. Utterly beguiling and seductive, Closer by Halle Berry marks a rare, unique approach to women’s fragrance.

“I wanted to create a unique fragrance for women that would also appeal to men,” says Halle Berry. “Scent is very closely linked with desire and attraction and I love the idea that a fragrance can bring a man and a woman together. Closer creates a new level of intimacy through the power of scent.”

Fragrance Notes Include:

Top: Wild Raspberry, Waterlily, Ozonic Accord
Mid: Fougere Accord, Violet Flowers, Mimosa, Cedar Wood
Dry: Vanilla Bean, Mahogany Wood, Cashmere Musk
Fragrance Genre: Modern Fresh Floral Fougere

Closer by Halle Berry


Glow: I like the packaging, it’s elegant yet very simple. I’m not a fan of overly intricate packaging or bottle designs because I think it draws away the focus from the product and some are just awkward to use. I love the minimalist approach of the overall look of the fragrance. The scent is strong but not overwhelming and I like the inspiration behind it which was to create something that would be alluring for both men and women. It’s also very calming.

Glare: As I mentioned it does have a strong scent and reminds me more so of a cologne than a woman’s fragrance. I personally prefer softer scents because they work well with my body chemistry. It smells pleasant but there is something about it that just doesn’t wow me. It’s definitely not an everyday type of fragrance in my opinion.
Would I Recommend It? Not if you’re someone who prefers soft floral scents as opposed to woody fragrances. Although it does soften with wear it still has sort of a masculine edge to it.
