Your Turn

I've personally never been the biggest fan of celebrity fragrances, however Billie has always been the exception. No. 1 is a pretty Vanilla scent, however not for me as the Vanilla is just a tad too sweet for my taste. No. 2 on the other hand is one of my favorite fragrances to wear. It's dark and inviting and slightly sweet and floral. I have yet to smell No. 3 as it's hard to find. Your Turn departs from this original line and I was hoping that it would maintain the same quality that the Eilish line has. I can confidently say that the multiple times I have sampled this that it definitely holds up to her previous fragrance endeavors. Describing the fragrance really isn't that difficult and to be honest I am sure a lot of people might find this scent boring or worn out. Billie is essentially giving her take on a Sandalwood fragrance, ala Santal 33. I wouldn't say it smells like Santal 33 but if you know what that general scent profile smells like then you pretty much know what to expect with this fragrance. The only aspect of this fragrance that makes it stand out amongst it's contemporaries in this profile is the Peach note that lingers for a bit in the middle of this fragrance. Otherwise, you kind of know what to expect. For some, this may be a turn off. If you are not a fan of Sandalwood, you will not like this. I happen to love Sandalwood scents, so this fits right in my wheelhouse. I will note that the Sandalwood in Your Turn does get more and more soft the longer you wear it. I do not particularly mind it, however it is worth mentioning. If you already have a Sandalwood fragrance you own and love, you do not need this one. It doesn't reinvent the wheel or add anything drastic enough to make it feel any different than the other fragrances in this category. I have Rhue, the Oakcha dupe of Santal 33 and it smells roughly the same as this minus the Peach note. I may end up purchasing Your Turn in the future but I do not feel it is a must have scent. The only knock that I have ever really had with any of the Billie Eilish fragrances would be longevity and sillage. None of her fragrances have ever lasted more than about four to five hours on me and they have never really projected beyond a small arms length. I was hoping that would change with this fragrance, however it is roughly the same. Longevity is slightly better than the Eilish line, sillage is about the same. It's worth noting though that this is rather common for celebrity fragrances and the longevity and sillage of this fragrance as well as the Eilish fragrances are about on par with what you would get from an Ariana Grande fragrance or most other designer EDP's you'll find at Ulta, Sephora, Macys, etc. All of that being said, I personally love this scent. It opens slightly strong and settles in to a really soft and inviting profile. It feels like a skin scent that has been elevated into an EDP and knows exactly what it want's to be. It will not be for everyone. If you don't like Sandalwood, stay away. If you value really amazing longevity and sillage, stay away. A full 3.4 oz bottle of this retails for $90, so you would hope for better wear, especially with other fragrance companies being able to achieve this scent profile for a fraction of the price. Still, you'd pay at least $150+ for any full size designer perfume from Burberry, YSL, Valentino and Carolina Herrera with ever so slightly more longevity and projection, if not the same. It also goes without saying that if you are just simply a Billie Eilish fan, you can probably just buy this and not worry about anything else.

Earlier today, while browsing in Ulta, I almost walked right past the sample display of this without stopping. I’ve read the comments here, and most are negative, so I had no intention of trying on Your Turn. But the flacon was just so unusual, I paused and picked it up. I took off the top and sniffed the spritzer... A slight spiciness and a resinous hint of... cedar? Iso e super, perhaps?...teased my nose. “Ah”, I thought, “Unisex. Okay...nice.” No surprises, but nice. I spritzed my wrist, blew gently to dry, closed my eyes, smelled, and...WHOA! I swooned. Hot DAMN. Kiss my hot southern grits. This stuff is gorgeous! Smh. Should have known better than to 100% trust all the negative comments. I suspect some were probably hoping for a return to a more gourmand frag in the same vein as E#1. Sorry kids. Better luck next time. Your Turn has a very slight Santal 33 lean, but,... Mmmmmmm😋 —there’s ginger/cardamom/coconut and a wonderfully green, tart peach skin note in there. It’s certainly different enough from Santal 33 to avoid being pigeonholed into dupeland imo. But, if you like Santal 33, there’s a good chance you’ll like this, and the two aren’t so similar that if you have one, you can do without the other. And no overwhelming dill-like assault of methyl laitone thank goodness, which on me turns to straight up pickle juice. I love pickles, yummy crisp pickles... just not on my skin. It’s true that Your Turn is reminiscent of E#2, but compare the two and you’ll find E#2 is the more woodsy fragrance. I found the longevity and projection of YT to be pretty powerful, so this doesn’t require much to communicate the aroma, nor does it require frequent touch ups. I apply a single light spritz to my inner elbows and tops of my bewbs... one, two, three and that’s it. You’re set, and you’ll catch whiffs of yourself all day. Try sleeping with this, because the dry down you’ll wake up to is wonderful. Again, referring to longevity and projection, in case I wasn’t clear enough here?— —THIS FRAGRANCE IS NUCLEAR. Mmm-kay? Careful, this one, she roars! 😼😉 I do not recommend wearing Your Turn if you have to be out in hot/humid weather for a long time. This is potent juice. So for all the soccer moms out there, when you have to sit outside a long time watching your kids play a game...might I suggest wearing a nice light freshie instead?

The scent itself is immensely alluring, with the fruity, almost wet notes of Velvet peach skin, Bergamot peel and Coconut water complementing the much more dense and rich notes of Night blooming jasmine and Australian sandalwood, making this an extremely sensually provocative fragrance. The fruity notes in here are more spicy and toned down especially Fresh ginger, for me personally they are more of a background addition to the fragrance. They are more bitter than fresh or citrusy making Your Turn more mature. The Peach skin and Bergamot peel give a very zesty and wet feeling to this, again it gives off more of a background addition to the scent in general. The Night blooming jasmine and coconut water provide a touch of rich sweetness that you can almost smell at the top once the fragrance settles down for a bit. Australian sandalwood as the base of Your Turn is a very unique choice and complements the top notes, you can smell it from the very first spray. The oriental and soft wood layout a pleasing lingering base scent that is present throughout. In addition, Captive musks and Upcycled SylvamberTM in the base notes elevate the sandalwood note even more and deliver a musky touch to the base. I love that Billie Eilish chose to market this as a Unisex fragrance (the way that it should be for all fragrances). Scent doesn't have a gender and if anything Your Turn supports this concept in every way possible. My only wish that i have for Your Turn and generally for all of Billie Eilish's fragrances is that i would want them to be a little bit more stronger (Longevity & Sillage) as again it's a very intimate scent. In a way this works for this as it's quite sensual and a deep scent. Also because of it's close sillage it work's for any time of day making it versatile for any occasion.

This is a beautiful milky sandalwood when first sprayed, quickly morphing to something a little warmer as the cardamom comes out. Right before dry down it becomes a little fresher and I get more of the coconut water note as well as a bit of the fruity floral contribution of peach and jasmine. I'm not a fan of either peach or jasmine, but here, to my nose, they strictly play a supporting role. The ginger is subtle, and adds warmth but not a ton of spiciness. The mature scent on me is a gorgeous, complex creamy sandalwood with subtle hints of spices and a tiny touch of freshness. I knew I would love it because of its cardamom and sandalwood, but I enjoy it more than I even thought I would. This sits close to the skin with some, but not a lot of, projection. The lasting power is similar to most other sandalwood dominant perfumes I own, which is moderate but not double-digit hours. I have the first three fragrances in Billie Eilish's line, mainly because the notes happen to appeal to me. IMO, it's rare that a famous singer's fragrance line isn't entirely sweet, fruity, and/or floral. I like Eilish Nos. 1-3, but I don't see how this is similar to any of them, especially Eilish No. 2, which some people are comparing it to. Eilish No. 2 is very strongly papyrus and dry woods on me, while this is much more creamy and sweet woods, with a traditional "perfumey" backbone of musk, flowers, and fruits. If you are looking for any specific notes to stand out other than sandalwood, you might be disappointed. But if you adore a complex, creamy sandalwood with subtle additions of other aspects, this could very much be for you.

I'm in love with this fragrance. I went through a travel size in 2 weeks because I would just over spray. I would sometimes just spray on my hands and inhale. It's so fresh and aromatic. Heavy on the sandalwood. My first impression was that it was a masculine aromatic, airy, Woody fragrance with a slight sweetness to it. And now that I've had time to play around with it, I've realized that this is very signature scent worthy in the fall. I defuse sandalwood around the house frequently and the fragrance is 1% creamy in my opinion from the sandalwood but 99% airy. Very fresh and spicy the first few seconds. I think I am so sad to see nobody reviewing this fragrance on YouTube on Instagram, social media at all. I think this scent is something I've never smelled before and hope that in 2055 it will have a cult following. Is such an aromatic fragrance. The wind just really carries this fragrance whenever I'm outdoors. It reminds me of a spa lobby. I smell the same peach in hundred silent ways. And I smell a little bit of paper by commodity. Definitely could be niche. I'm not even a a fan of Billie. She also said that this is the fragrance that she wears . I initially thought the bottle was extremely tacky but now that I smell the fragrance I feel that it is perfect for the fragrance. Maybe it could be shaped like a regular bottle but with the same Platinum iridescent color. Projection is great but longevity for me is 4 hours. I don't get any coconut water, everything is extremely well balanced here. If you can't smell the sweetness and this fragrance, you're probably going to think it's masculine leaning.
