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.

I fell in love with this scent during the late 90”s when it was gifted in a sampler set . To me ,it’s so Classy & timeless but also young and fresh at the same time . Truly lovely, my friends would always ask to spritz some on before a girls night out . Very Nostalgic to me also , if the notes appeal to you then I can’t recommend it enough !!A must try & Safe blind buy

So sad nobody talks about this. I finished the bottle in about 4 months. Super simple floral and very feminine. Lasts about 2 hours on me, I usually sprayed it in the morning, really sets the mood for a productive day. Doctors friendly. I gifted it several times and my less perfume obsessed ladies were very pleasantly surprised.

I've gone through two bottles, two lotions, and am using my third bottle of Forever. It lasts a long time on me, is a very calming and centering fragrance - delicate and pure. Excellent sillage for what some consider an unremarkable perfume. I've never found another scent that compares to this. It is unique and beautiful.

This Sung is a lovely one. Clean, green soapy and fresh. performance is very good too. reminds me of Paco Rabanne Metal. Like you just stepped out of the shower - gorgeous.

Forever a soapy clean fresh scent. I feel part together wearing this. I'll sweeten Forever with Hard Candy's Coconut body spray. 8 hours later both going strong.

LUVely....along the floral lines of Cabotine but not as refined...still, could be worn by all ages. The price is right 20.00 at Overstock.com for 4 ounces!

At first I didnt even like Forever. Now love it what a change mood lifter comforting exciting.

Such a beautiful, fresh floral scent. I love this fragrance so much.

One of my favorites in the mid 90’s.

(This review is for Eau de Perfume) FOREVER by Alfred Sung is elegant, cool and reserved woody floral fragrance. This scent makes me feel classy and graceful but also calm and reserved. I wear it to the office when I need to keep my head cool and stay logical. But despite the formal feel, this scent is also very attractive and feminine. Spring-like and delicate, it reminds me of pastel colors, silver and pearls. The starting notes are crispy fresh with lovely peony and tart berries. But this scent transforms very soon into slightly soapy composition on my skin. It is a bit cold and formal but quite pleasant. The flowers become more prominent again in the heart notes. They are crispy, cool and remind me of an early spring when the gentle floral beauties are still surrounded by the cold snow. I think that mostly I detect freesia and perhaps a bit of lily of the valleys. The rose is definitely there. It adds sweet tenderness to the composition but it is not the centre of the fragrance. The scent transforms into woody amber on the dry down. The woods are dry and a bit powdery but quite elegant. If I did not look at the notes, I would think that there is an orris (iris) in the dry down. The fragrance has quite nice sillage and longevity. I would recommend it for those who like green and fresh floral perfumes with woody notes.

This is very nice fragrance. I blind bought it after reading the reviews here as well as the incredible bargain I was able to find it for. I'm so glad I bought this! My first experience wasn't a happy one. The first thing I smelled the first time I sprayed, all I could smell was an overwhelming and unappealing "plastic-y" smell. I considered giving it away, But, luckily for me, I decided to give it another chance. I smell no hint of plastic, only a light and refreshing greenish floral that I really have grown to love. This scent is light enough you can spray it liberally without having to worry about people who work with you. Just after the perfume settles on your skin and has had time to dry, this gem becomes quite powdery and then quite soapy. (I'm a sucker for powdery and soapy!) This frag is the perfect choice when you want to enjoy a milder fragrance, especially if you enjoy a skin scent. The longevity on me is poor. I would say within 2 hours it becomes a skin scent on me. Sillage is rather poor also. Despite this, I plan to keep a bottle of this in my collection as long as it is available.

This scent puts a smile on my face and makes me happy. It smells just like Eternity for Women to me. It's flowery in a green way - Freesia/Lily of the Valley/Narcissus/Rose are common notes to both Eternity and Forever, and both have amber and sandalwood in their base notes. It's refreshing, sharp and clean and somehow reminds me of a cool (this is not a 'warm' scent until the base notes) afternoon in a beautiful car looking at the droplets on the window as you drive. It took me a while to purchase this one - I resisted since it looked 'boring' to me - but this is a beautiful scent. Eternity for women is also a beautiful scent. Some days you just want to smell as sharp and pretty as Christy Turlington's face. Now don't get me wrong, very few things in life are prettier than Christy Turlington's face - but this is a beautiful scent :) The only problem with this is - after two hours on me - it's gone. Low longevity. Basic low silage.

This perfume is truly a uplifting spring beauty. Yes it is slightly Sharp and stingy. but if you dont put to much on its a beauty. the Narcisus is the most prominent on my skin peppery and warm like a sunny ray on a cool spring morning. Lily of the Valleys also lingers on the side . makes me longing for thouse early May days in the forest around where im living. I always go out to pick lily of the valley in honour of my grandfather, he always took us into the forest to smell this beautiful flowers. so this is like a perfume With lovely memorys aswell for me. I can not say i detect all the other notes apart from each other . This is the kind of perfume i could see a bride wear . Bright, floral. luminous and romantic. Yes it has a slightly formal approce, sligthly shy. But ohh so beautiful

Don't be fooled with how this smells before the dry down. Initially it leans light chypre, including the animalic musks that help define the category. I love chypres so I was happy about this. After the dry down though, it becomes the cleanest, pretty floral. It reminds of tissues and toilet paper from the 70s and 80s. They all had a clean, cotton, floral smell that was pleasant. Pleasant describes this fragrance perfectly. Spring and the earliest days of summer, outdoor weddings in May, a jaunt through a meadow of spring flowers, clothes drying on a line. Forever is all of these. Not my normal jam but pretty enough to stay in my collection. If you want a safe office scent, this is it.

First spray is powerful, I wasn't prepared for that. Not in a fragrance so demurely packaged, so unpretentious. I almost choked, yes, THAT powerful. So I let it be for awhile and went about my day, as this fragrance "blooms" on the skin I found myself looking for, longing for that next sniff. What a beautiful dry down. And the sillage and longevity are perfect, quite impressive as fragrances usually disappear quite quickly on my skin. An absolutely gorgeous clean floral scent appropriate for any occasion and definitely a very pleasant fragrance find for me. Happy to have it in my collection!

This one took some time to like. When I first bought it, the calendar said spring, but Mother Nature was still giving us snow, sleet and ice. At that time there was something slightly irritating about this 'fume. But now, we are deep into spring....the temperatures are warm, the sun is blinding and Forever smells so good. I have reached for this a few times recently and have greatly enjoyed it. It is not fresh, but it is a clean, floral and slightly soapy scent. You can definitely smell the plum in this one,there is something distinctly edible to this.

Fresh, clean, green, slightly sweet floral. The floral notes are very well blended, to me none of the individual notes is dominating the fragrance. It's quite strong and has some pretty good sillage because of it... Very long lasting as well... A bit pungent in the opening. It finally settles into a softer scent, but it takes a while! This is probably the one & only time that I will say: "I wished this scent was a little less strong". I never tend to get headaches due to perfumes, but this one can actually cause me one...

What a beautiful scent! Very fresh, classy and feminine. I bought a large bottle of this for fairly cheap and it was well worth it. I think this is a wonderful spring time perfume since it smells so fresh and flowery. The sillage and longevity are moderate. For the price point you can't beat this perfume! It isn't anything groundbreaking but if you are looking for a solid fresh floral this is a great option to add to your collection!

This is a pleasant, fresh, soapy, slightly sweet fragrance. I feel like the lily of the valley is overly prominent in the beginning but after settling it's much more toned down. I can still smell it the next morning on my skin. By then it's a nice, sweet scent to wake up to. I like it but more after it's settled in for a while.

Fresh and floral, I get mostly lily of the valley from this, but the peony and freesia are coming through. I like this as a daytime casual scent. It's lighthearted and seems innocent somehow. It's a bit sharp and cool and very floral. Being an EDP, the lasting power is pretty good.

Fresh, green, a bit sharp, but very awakening.Really awakens the senses. I'd almost call it energizing. I wasn't sure I loved it at first, but I showered after my workout and then sprayed Forever and it was perfect for a recharge!

It's simple, it's clean, it's linear.. Like a mother's hug, innocent and endearing. I layer it with Jovan Musk to give it slight personality. It would definitely work better in the summer, due to its freshness.

To me this perfume has two notable scents, an intense sweetness at first then within seconds, a powdery goodness. This is what I smelled when the sales lady spritzed it in the cover.

this is lovely, I like the subtle sweetness. but for an unknown reason most 90's florals remind me of bathroom fresheners.

This is tangy white flowers. Strong, amazing projection and longevity. It smells like the first 10-20 minutes of wearing True Love by Elizabeth Arden and as it's also a wedding perfume and came out a year after True love, I'd say that was probably deliberate! I find it linear and it remains tangy and floral, the sweet and tart plum and tayberry are very prominent!. Personally I prefer the dry down of True Love as it gets creamier and less tangy so I'm going to stick with that one (despite it's appalling performance!) and pass Forever on. Re other comparisons, I have some of those perfumes and I can honestly say that it's not as sharp as Splendor and really doesn't have the green apple zingyness of that one. It doesn't share the grassy greenness of Forever Blue's top notes and it doesn't share the vanilla floral vibe of the dry down of it either. There's nothing even slightly resembling Cabotine de Gres which is a fresh ginger Jasmine bomb.... no idea where that comparison has come from?! I tested them side by side and it's definitely a True Love dupe! If you like the initial burst of tangyness from True Love then you will love Forever!

This was a blind buy for me and I can’t say I like it. Based on the notes, I should love it, but there is definitely something powdery in there! I really am not a fan of anything powdery! It’s not over the top with the powder but it’s there enough to annoy me. I have EA splendor and I like that so much better because I don’t get that dry powdery feel. It does have a bit of a cotton scent as someone has mentioned. The dry down is more tolerable to me but I can’t see myself ever reaching for this. I usually love Alfred Sung fragrances but this one misses the mark for me.

I got this blind, after reading reviews and at first regretted it. I can't even put to words the scent I was picking up besides really old synthetic leather couch and abandoned factory LMAO (3/10★) but after months, the white florals are just starting to peek its way through. It just had to sit a while, but is a great mature touch to layer with (6.5/10★) I'd say its a risky blind buy as well but I'm hoping it gets even better considering my change in opinion!

It has a powdery smell that I would rather smell on others than on myself, but I don't dislike it.

I bought this as a blind buy because of all the rave reviews....huge mistake!!! This is a very cloying, sharp, strong, floral fragrance. It's not a skin scent at all and smells very artificial and synthetic. I really tried to like it because I don't like wasting money but no matter how lightly I sprayed it or layered it, it was just not for me. If you've smelled it and like it, great but don't dare buy before trying it. Not a safe blind buy at all.

smells too synthetic and it gives me serious headache, I did try to give it a second chance but it's just a big no no for me:(

Too floral and synthetic smelling, didn't like it. You have to spray a ton of it, too. Sent it back.

Fragrance Review For Forever Alfred Sung Top Notes Tayberry Plum Peony Middle Notes Rose Freesia Narcissus Lily of the Valley Base Notes Amber Sandalwood Forever is a fragrance of sweet youth. A tayberry and plum is almost too sweet. The touch of berry also gives it a young edge although it's not candy or sugary.' It's a good opening especially if you are tired of citrus at the beginning of a fragrance's performance. So many fragrances come with citrus or orange blossom scents in the top notes but this one is definitely a berry and plum opening of fruity goodness. Even without the citruses it is still fresh because of the aroma chemicals. The floral notes include freesia, rose, lily of the valley and peony. On me the peony and rose note stand out and both smell a bit similar. The freesia and lily white floral scents take over but unlike other white floral fragrances - or rose scents - they do not turn too soapy. The fruity sweetness mingles with the few floral notes to give it a decidedly feminine aura. This perfume is far from unisex and in fact reminds me of young girls I knew back in middle school in 1995. This smells like it would work well on the skin chemistries of teenage girls who are into perfumes and don't mind wearing a 90's fruity floral. This is wearable as a modern 2016 fragrance. It does not smell like it belongs on a mature lady's dresser table and has nothing in common with other fruity florals of the 90's such as Tresor by Lancôme Tocade by Rochas, or Casmir by Chopard. It might have a little more in common with Deci Dela by Nina Ricci. This is the kind of perfume that will provoke nostalgia and cause people to react with that "You smell so good" remark, even if it's not about your hair! This perfume also reminds me of spring time and picnics in parks. The sweetness coming from flowers and fruits are suited to the pleasant weather months of April through July. The dry down is amber and a sandalwood, not as striking as the way the fragrance goes from being fruity to floral. I detect mostly amber, which is clean and only the slightest bit soapy. I wish that this fragrance could last a little longer on me. It's very soft and subtle and is well behaved as a fragrance. Beautiful.

I found this at a flea market today. It smells almost identical to Elizabeth Arden Splendor which was one of my 1st big florals. It took me by surprise & wooshed me back to 2003. Splendor was my floral scented gateway drug. I knew it “wasn’t me”, but my son, then in grade school, once told me, “Mama, you smell really pretty”, so I wore down a bottle. A mother never ever forgets a statement like that. I’ve carried those words around in my heart purse for decades. Both scents are aggressive & could compete with Fabulouso floor cleaner. (The blue Ocean Paradise one, specifically). 🩵 This too, like the floor detergent, smells fresh, oceanic, floral, & squeaky clean. I love this profile... to mop with. But scent is subjective, and if you’re a mom w/a young son who thinks “you smell really pretty”, then I would indeed advise you to wear this... Forever. 🌷🫶🏻 Thank you for reading my review.

Sung Forever is a very cooling, refreshing feminine scent. The florals are strong yet soft and expertly blended. Fruits are light, gentle, uplifting, wrapped in the gentle sweet flowers. A touch of white woods and light amber form a perfect smooth base, giving the scent a super long lasting quality. The scent reminds me of a rare cooling summer rain in a flower garden. Overall, Sung Forever is delightful, not too light, not too heavy. It smells fresh, clean, smooth, not sharp, not dense or soapy. Projection is moderate and longevity is more than 12 hours on my skin. I know I will love this very feminine fresh clean long lasting blend .....Forever.

Forever by Alfred Sung is a gorgeous fruity, floral that if it were housed in a bottle by Hermes or Chanel with a price tag that reflected "exclusive," everyone would be all over it! This is such a well crafted, cheerful and multi-faceted fragrance with excellent longevity and an inoffensive but very present sillage. Of course it's all about chemistry and perhaps this inexpensive gem just works with mine but I highly recommend it. Feminine, uplifting and worth every penny!

Love this scent it does smell like Eternity the first 10 mins or so, but then it dries down to a in my opinion a much lighter and sweeter scent. It's fresh and very feminine and I get wiffs of this throughout the day not overwelming just nice. Good for the office or a date, a day of shopping or just coffee with friends very good value for the money to be sure. Not my absolute fav but a must have for a perfumeista. Bottom line nice silliage and decent lasting power.

Alfred Sung the original scent was an absolute favorite of mine in my late teens - a cool and original white floral, very unique at the time. I looked forward to forever, and found it to be so utterly........ ordinary. nothing wrong, mind you, a perfectly pleasant and forgettable scent for a soap or a fabric refresher, or... ... what was I talking about again? Oh, yes, Alfred Sung Forever. Kinda forgot. Just another sweet floral. I expected more.

Very fresh with a dew on grass scent that brings to mind a dewy morning. I love it and it reminds me of CK Forever as the previous reviewer notes. It is a very similar scent but less intense for a lack of words for cloying. I don't want to say CK forever is cloying but this is just a lighter embodiment. I love it and have gotten compliments on numerous occasions.

I bought Forever by Alfred Sung after I smelled it from a friend wearing it. It smells fresh and light floral on my friend. However, this perfume just don't work with my body chemistry. Top notes smell a bit sharp on me then nothing. Will pass it to somebody.

It smells very harsh for me. I got a head ache from wearing it:( I got it from TJMax after reading good reviews and it had 3 of my favorite flowers...Smells like old ladies. Not my scent.

This is very sharp in the beginning reminds me of Eternity but cheaper.I don't know what flowers I am smelling but it is a pretty good fragrance for the price.

Perfectly pleasant. The listed notes make it sound more interesting than it actually is. Its fine for everyday so its great that it comes in a 125ml bottle.
