Gingham

It’s kind of confusing that there are two entries on this site for Gingham. Anyway, I’m reviewing the EDP and the fragrance mist. The EDP scores points right off the bat for having a sweet, mellow opening rather than a burst of sharp alcohol. I smell fruit for the first couple hours, but eventually it becomes predominantly floral and soapy. It’s a fresh soapy scent, not a stringent one. After four hours I can barely smell it, but it is still there. I can’t stress this enough: it’s a really beautiful scent. Groundbreaking? No, but there’s something special about this one, a certain je ne sais quoi that I think makes it truly ageless; anyone from 9-99 could pull this off. The body mist is nice, too, but is less orangey than the EDP. It’s really refreshing and perfect as an after shower mist or to take with you to the gym. It’s crisp, clean, and never cloying.

Such a gorgeous fresh floral scent!! It's appropriate for school and work and can be worn for casual events, too. This is very floral and citrusy. The perfume is so lovely but it doesn't last very long (on my skin, maybe 2 or 3 hours max or a solid 3 hours if sprayed on clothes). Layering the perfume with the Gingham body wash, mist, and especially lotion helps the sillage and wear a bit. I think the smell is gorgeous and still worth it, I just respray any time I use the restroom throughout the day. If you really like very fresh floral scents and don't mind layering up with the other products or reapplying throughout the day I think it's totally worth giving it a try, the scent is just that good.

As I was searching for a lighter and fresh scent, I stumbled upon this in BBW. It had that sweet floral scent with a touch of citrus. Just perfect for everyday use in my tropical country. I was pretty obsessed with this scent, and indulged myself in most of the line (fragrance mist, body wash, etc.) it was such a comforting scent that I even spray the fragrance mist on my sheets before going to sleep. I usually reach for this when it's sunny outside because the natural warmth brings out more of the citrus. It's definitely a scent that makes me happy. I find that it lasts longer on my clothes than skin. Clothes nearly 5 hours, where skin maybe 1-2 hours at most.

Sweet & clean. This is a very pretty and light scent that has good staying power. It remains sweet without losing its freshness. It's a perfect everyday scent to wear for any occasion day or night. My nose detects sweet powdery freshness. It smells like an expensive perfume, I wouldn't think its a body mist. Suitable for any age, but I see someone in their mid twenties and up rocking this as an everyday scent. This is a safe reach and will make you smell feminine and clean. 10/10

Gingham is a straightforward, happy, preppy scent. I love the mandarin and freesia combo, as it's a great balance and sweet without being cloying. Both primary notes smell authentic and clean. I have the mist as well as the edt. The edt perfumes better (of course) with moderate sillage and longevity. This scent is an immediate pick me up of the fresh variety. Definitely a great value if this is your cup of tea, and it is mine!
