Too Too

Totally not going to lie I really love Betsey Johnson's Too Too. I find it to be actually quite unique and different from a lot of the stuff I usually smell, well at least for people in their teens or 20s. Its heavy on the patchouli which is what I'm thinking a lot of people do not like about it. This has become one of my go to fragrances when I'm not sure what to wear. I actually find Too Too to be fun and playful it has a zesty ginger which I find to be spicy, fresh and it blends in with the strawberry and patchouli. The combination makes a perfect blend that is sweet because of the strawberry a little earthy but its never too overwhelming. If I take a closer sniff I can smell the freshness of the passion fruit and hints of the oud and suede in the drydown. Some people might get a little thrown off by the bottle design and expect something more stereotypically sweet out it instead of a fruity patchouli blend. Too Too is fun and bright and I find it great for casual days where I want to smell something that is a little more playful and unique. I also love the bottle its so adorable! Though the too too and sometimes get in the way of the sprayer if I don't hold it down the right way. This is a great afforable option for people who are looking for something and little different and are not scared away by the ginger patchouli combo. This is one I would suggest trying before you buy it, if you can.

I went to the Betsey Johnson store over the weekend and tried on Too Too. I remembered having read some negative reviews about it here, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It does open up with fruity notes, but the patchouli in it gives it a much richer, sophisticated, and grown up take that I REALLY like. I am not really use to patchouli in my perfumes, I find it too strong most of the time, but it is very nice in this perfume. I wear a lot of fresh fruity florals.. but I am 26 years old. When I wear Too Too, I finally feel my age, and it makes me feel good about it :) It is mature and sexy AND pretty. So needless to say, I bought a roller ball at the store. After I paid for it I realized that everything on the store is on sale... I guess all of her stores are closing so they are going to be having great deals on all of her stuff. I am going to be ordering a full sized bottle of this very soon! :)

I am picking up a scent of strawberry incense and patchouli and a suede jacket. I think Betsey has captured the essense of the 1970s here. It's what Peace, Love and Juicy Couture should have been. It's not a ballerina at all but a hippie chick with long hair and an earthy smell in the bottle. It's mistaken identity . I see some mixed reviews here but the fragrance works fine on my skin, very exotic and almost smoky and mysterious. Look past the fluffy skirt bottle and you'll find a really interesting perfume. It looks like this isn't going to sell too well . I'm going to wait until it hits the discount stores to get my bottle. It will never be mainstream.

Ohhh, this bottle was pure joy ... like a tutu made of candy and confetti! One of the cutest, most whimsical designs I’ve ever owned. I was absolutely obsessed, and the scent? A delicious burst of fruity-girly fun that still tugs at my heart. It smelled like laughter echoing through a New York sidewalk, full of charm and sparkle. I still remember picking up the gift set at Sephora in times square complete with a shimmer stick and a mini roll-on. It felt like holding a piece of that city’s energy in my hands. Too Too was more than a fragrance. It was a mood. A moment. A memory. And I miss it dearly. - Bhavna Darira Chesan

I love this fragrance, I've tried to find anything similar to this but haven't. I bought mine 2011 and I love it still just as much. I use it with caution, I don't want to finish the bottle. If I could bring a fragrance back to the market it would be this one. Peppery, fierce, warm and daring notes in this perfume. I would wear it everyday if I had an unlimited supply.
