Forever

Blooming Green Tea with Vintage Touches... If you imagine a glass teapot filled with steaming green-tea, and the kind of tea that features blooming aspects where a carnation comes to life - rehydrated before your eyes. Opens with a fruity-floral burst with green nuances that deepens into a yellow & white floral heart with rosy touches, resting on an amber woody base. Overall I get a green-tea & carnation vibe, like a blooming tea with some vintage touches. This isn't a dupe of anything, but you will catch reminders here of '90s fresh floral scents like Splendour Elizabeth Arden, Eternity Calvin Klein & Something Blue Oscar de la Renta. Average or slightly above average performance for a spring-summer wearing experience. Contrast to Eternity Calvin Klein: These are different, but there are some similarities. Performance is roughly equivalent for these two. Forever is more yellow floral forward, while Eternity is touchier to wear and can pull dill/ onion on some skin types. Contrast to Something Blue Oscar de la Renta: These are different, but there are similarities with green & yellow florals and narcissus. The openings are different, but they get more similar both as they dry down and as they age in the bottle and the woody accords come more forward. Roughly equivalent performance. Overall: slightly above average performance, and a beautiful floral-green scent profile with vintage touches, this is the perfect scent to wear for an garden tea party. Enjoy!

This is one absolutely beautiful scent (sorry I can ́t pick up any notes) Unfortunatelly, on my skin this beautiful scent makes its appearance only after 3 hours of wearing. But the first three hours...oh gosh....I tried to suffer throught and learn to love it several times because of this amazing dry down but I just couldn ́t. Headache inducing. I felt so uncomfortable and without any self-confidence when wearing it...so I sadly don ́t wear it anymore. Sillage and lasting power are great!!! EDIT: Who knew.... after 4 years of being invested in perfumes and getting my noise trained I finally can appreciate this fragrance in all its glory. Basically what I have written above is still valid but forget the part about the first three hours being horrible because they are not. Basically I agree with what was said about this fragrance being floral, green crispy yet very feminine. It is very well blended and quality fragrance. If you search for sillage and longetivity, this fragrance DELIVERS.

This is one of my very favorite fragrances of all time, hands down. I first smelled it in 1996 while I was in college. It was a magazine insert. I got my first bottle of this as a gift from my grandmother, or as we affectionately called her, "Mema". I have been hooked on this ever since. This is clean, fresh, green, and floral - yet it also has a nice musky note on me as well. It lasts a very long time on my skin, which I love. I always get compliments whenever I wear this. This is the fragrance I wore on my wedding day and just about everyone of my family members and friends that hugged me that day commented on how great I smelled! I am so happy that I am still able to purchase this online. I also find it sometimes in my local TJ Maxx, so whenever I see it, I make sure to get a bottle or two so I always have some on hand. This is a classic and I would never be without it! Very feminine, beautiful, memorable scent!

Literally the only perfume I've ever bought twice. (I like to try new things!) I first bought it in about 1996, at 14 years years old. It was love at first sniff in a dutyfree shop while traveling to Italy, and my mum kindly bought it for me. Then I bought it again about 10 years later. To me, it seems quite strong when it first goes on, but manages to remain feminine at the same time. It lingers several hours and softens. I see a purchase of a third bottle happening in the not too distant future... I do find it fascinating that it's the one scent that I still love after all these (20+!!!) years. Now that I think back, it probably wasn't exactly an "appropriate" scent for a 14 year old, but I've never played by the rules anyways ;)

The lilly of the valley is very prominent to me in the initial burst. It definitely reminds of E.A.'s Splendor, Lalique's Fleur de Cristal and MAYBE even a little of the original Lalique EDP which I used to love and wore for so many years. Sadly I cannot entirely recall the latter. Will need another sniff but it does make me think of Lalique EDP, so in my head there must be some sort of a connection no matter how faint it may be. Forever Alfred Sung to me is a mid-weight to soft feminine fragrance that requires no parental guidance nor age restrictions.
