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.

love this one -- started out like a fruitchouli but with a tartness and a sharpness that make it different and interesting; huge strawberry as the strongest note with some passionfruit, patchouli and indistinct floral notes, a sharpness almost of fig leaf, lots of musk but not very woody

This smells very similar to Miss Dior Cherie. I love it! It's very light and fruity. The patchouli gives it a depth. The bottle is adorable and I also got it at perfumemania for $22 on clearance! So, it was an amazing find since regular price was supposedly $80.. .

Too Too was love at first sniff for me! It reminds me of Flowerbomb and La Vie Est Belle but it's not as strong as either of those. I mostly get patchouli, berries, ginger and citrus notes from this fragrance. I'd say it's moderate in both longevity and sillage.

I absolutely adore this perfume. It reminds me of shenanigans and late nights, even though you can wear it anytime of day. But I would say it demands a special mood for you to wear it. I just wish I could buy this beauty in Sweden...

Spicy. This is perfect for the egdy girl or rocker chic. Its sweet and spicy and evening/nighttime. Look at the bottle. <3

i really like this fragrance, it's sexy and cute and attractive!!!!!!!!!! ^o^

I got this as well as the scented sparkly body powder as a free gift from work (we sold it there when it was on the market a few years ago). At first I loved it...then I didn't care much for it because I thought it "unsophistocated," but I've come back around and guess what?! I like it again. I absolutely LOVE the patchouli and when you think about it, there are few (if any) scents aimed at young girls that have patchouli as such a dominant note, and I actually find that unconventionality pretty damned sophistocated at the end of the day. It tempers the sweet, strawberry scent nicely. I love this as a playful fall scent, when you want to feel girly but not too sweet. It smells a lot like the scratch and sniff raspberries in the illustrated Secret of Nimh book that I loved as a child. Anybody else rememeber that? Anyway, a fun, sweet, yet spicy scent that's really like no other perfume I've ever smelled. If you're not afraid of sweet, give it a try.

This is an amazing all-season frgrance in my opinion. the pink and black colors of the tutu are the perfect reflection of the fragrance...sweet with strawberry, deeper with oud, vanille, sandalwood and ginger. There is nothing heavy about this fragrance. It is VERY playful, but the notes work in such perfect harmony you could wear it any time of year, day or night. I didn't feel this way when I first smelled it but as I showed it to more and more clients and work, it grew on me BIG TIME. Thanks for this one Bets. It's a lot more understated than her loud, giant purses. Good for those of us that love the Betsey Johnson concept but don't want to be super duper brash about it. So happy to own this in both the EDP and shimmering body powder.

This frangrance is a fruitchouli. I smell a lot of patchouli in the opening and some strawberry with ginger, with other fruity notes, and even a hint of rose. I love it. I love sweet patchouli since I discovered the "Angels" from Thierry Mugler. It is not the same but it is that kind of frangrance. It smells delicious to me. It is a grown up fruity sweet perfume. I think one of the reasons why some people disliked it is because they were expecting something else, according to the bottle. Another reason could be because is an unique patchouli, and not everybody loves patchouli, some people get headaches. Try it before buying it, but know that is not a very "pink" fragrance, unless you count the rose and the strawberry :).

I can definitely see why Betsey Johnson's Too Too has mixed reviews. It opens with a strong patchouli ginger scent. Initially, I was wondering whether I would like it based on that combination. I like ginger mixed with orange normally. Add the patchouli in and it gets a bit intense. After it dries down for a few minutes, the strawberry comes forward. The perfume picks up a bit of soapiness and a lot of sweetness. The other florals and fruits besides the rose are very subtle and blend into the background. Too Too is more fruity than floral, but like a jolly rancher-it's sweetly addicting. I'd say this falls into a solid like as a guilty pleasure, especially for the days I am craving strawberry.

I bought this perfume at TJ MAXX knowing that patchouli was the top voted note on Fragrantica. There was no sampler, so Too Too was a blind buy for me. Too Too is an odd combination of patchouli, ginger, and Strawberry. The ginger blends into the patchouli smoothly enough but the strawberry can be a bit overbearing, especially during the dry down. To me none of these notes are particularly clean. The strawberry at times reminds me of cheap strawberry incense. This scent also gets caught in my throat and with that being said, I don't hate this scent. It has a gritty/dirty feel to it I find compelling. Like the bottle, it reminds me of a dirty sweaty Too Too.

I was really scared to buy this fragrance because it has a bunch of bad reviews, but I love Betsey Johnson so I decided to give it a go. I am PLEASANTLY surprised! I must have the right kind of body chemistry for this fragrance cause it dries down beautifully on my skin. :) I can smell the patchouli but I personally don't think it's that overwhelming. I love Jimmy Choo perfume and I think that the patchouli in that is wayyyyy stronger.I can definately smell the sandalwood and fruity strawberry note in there too. This is a scent you will either love or hate.

First spritz out of the bottle it's bold, fruity and uplifting. Energizing and playful even, with a nice dose of sandalwood and patchouli, almost as if to say, yes I'm fun, but do take me seriously. I find myself sniffing my wrist over and over. It's floral and fruity but grown up. The sweet strawberry and jasmine stay prominent, but are grounded with a nice shot of spicy ginger and depth from the woods and patchouli. I think if you like scents like Miss Dior Cherie you might also enjoy Too Too. The bottle is just too cute.

An inappropriately named, loud, obnoxious, chaotic, woody, rose jam fruitchouli... and I love it! This conjures up memories of my punk rock years. Leather jackets, cigarettes, drunken sex with bad boys and the joy of shocking society with our screaming angst and dada-esque esthetic. What's wrong with kids today? All their fragrances are polite and sweet and inoffensive. If there is one thing I still enjoy in my older years, it's being offensive. I shall wear this to the horror of every young person I encounter.

Sweet sweet sweet! Somebody else here compared Too Too to the Ed Hardy fragrance, with it's sugary strawberry blast. I agree with this comparison, I'd have to say these two fragrances are quite similar. However, the ginger in this keeps it from being too candy-like. I really do enjoy it, and want to test it again soon. I think, despite it's fruity sweetness, a broad age range could wear this in moderation in a lot of settings. It's quite pretty and playful, very much like the fun bottle.
