Promise Me

This is so unexpected, it doesn't smell like a trendy clothing store release at all! I read the notes quickly at Ross and assumed it would be much sweeter, but a 50ml bottle was only $7, so I took a chance, even assuming I would probably hand it off to my sister who likes fresh things with sweet underpinnings. I have a lot of fragrances like that in my collection already. Well, I don't have a dang thing like this. And I'm REALLY impressed. This is simple on paper, yes, but it has interesting angles to it. The tea isn't really that sweet whatsoever! It's spicy, colonge-y, fresh, herbal...and slightly spicy. The gardenia is *actually* gardenia (two of my very, very favorite fragrances contain gardenia), it has a composed quality. The gardenia lends this a cerebral personality. Anyone could wear this of course, but it leans unisex. It's not an inviting fragrance at all, it's aloof and smells like someone who has good boundaries...if that even makes sense. It's introverted, but not at all insecure. There's a slightly bitter (not bad), realistic quality to the tea that I truly, truly adore. It smells like real tea leaves, particularly after it sits on the skin for an hour or so. It has the olfactory quality of tannins. I initially thought it would be more of a summer fragrance, but this morning has been chilly and I love how it's performing in the air. I think it would be perfect on a rainy, moody day in March or April. I really love this, I'm utterly impressed! The name sounds romantic and all, but this isn't anything of the sort. It's kind of kick@ss in a green, herbal, reserved way. If this were presented differently (the bottle I have actually is different than the one shown here, it's square) from a well-regarded brand people would pay good money for this. It's not going to be for everyone, it's on the bitter side, but it would strike the right chords in certain people. 🍵 🌿

This stuff is fantastic. It’s clean, crisp and attractive. Hands-down, my favorite scent to smell on my wife. Clean with an airy alluring effect to it. It's inviting and intoxicating. It’s hard to describe the primary notes (many reviewers smell different notes out of this). I was shocked when I asked my wife to get more and found out this was a $20 fragrance from Aeropostale. I don’t feel like this is a young person‘s fragrance necessarily. It does not contain the sweetness and bubblegum notes that mark many modern feminine scents (which I don't really care for). This is the only fragrance I’ve ever sprayed on a pillow or a piece of her clothing to keep the smell around when she’s not with me. The approachable price is a huge bonus. The performance isn't great, but its a light floral and tea scent (those are never going to be performance monsters because of their scent profile). I might be a unique case but this is10 out of 10 for me.

one of my all time favorites! very fresh I remember wen this first came out in 2007 I was 13 years old at the time! I remember sniffing this for the first time and thought "WOW!" and I just had to have a bottle it smells amazing I believe it is one of a kind! So here's what happens with this scent.. it always gets discontinued and then comes back (eventually)! They have it back in stores 2017! get some before it gets discontinued again I sure did! got myself a couple of bottles! the design is different than the one pictured it's kind of a shame because I really liked the old look and still have an empty old bottle. The bottle is now more square simple plain and modern also instead of a Small:0.5oz an Large:1.7 the sizes are now Small:1.0oz and Large:2.0oz.. but anyways those of you interested in this again this is NOW BACK AT AEROPOSTALE! not sure how long it will be but grab it while you can!!!!!! :)

This is summer in a bottle to me! Notes here are clearly wrong. This is like a fresh-fruity women’s version of Nautica Voyage With sweetness. Smells like I want to drink it. Also the reviewer comparing this to men’s fresh shower gel with a fruity twist is right on. This does have a unisex vibe. I detect watermelon and another tangy fruit (more like kiwi than green apple), watery notes, and light woods. Hubby says this reminds him of a frozen yogurt shop! ? So yes, all the things I love about a nice fresh aquatic men’s cologne, but made for a woman. I can’t get enough of this one! This will be my vacation and summer staple. Don’t get this unless you like very fresh fruity scents. I’ve never tried an Aeropostale perfume before and am impressed with the quality. Lasts around 5 hours on skin/all day on clothes....

I love that this is a trend in the reviews, that for the most part people hate Aeropostale but enjoy the scent. I too was an emo kid and turned my nose up at the brand. But I got a free sample, and wow. I was obsessed. Fresh apples, a not-too-sweet gardenia, and green tea. I have bought and hoarded it ever since. Doesn't last very long, but it's great to spritz on right before something for a mental boost. You feel confident, clean, and while it leans feminine it tiptoes on the edge of it. Will always remind me of being a 12 year old lesbian who was trying too hard. My signature scent in spite of myself. It's a little sharp, a little spicy, and I inhale it like a vacuum.
