Carrera Jeans 770 Original Donna

I got a 75ml size of this today at Shoppers Drug Mart for $19.99 and I’ve been eyeballing it for a while now. Every time I’m in there I always look it up on here and think to myself well I will grab it another time, because often I will either buy something more expensive (impulsive buyer sometimes haha) but today it was the last one on the shelf of inexpensive fragrances so I thought I’m going to blind buy it and I’m glad I did. Honestly I didn’t think I would love it as much as I have been. This is something that would be so nice in the fall, all year really but in warmer months it would be a lighter spraying of it but in the fall or winter you could go ham with this. I just bought the brand new Azzaro Wanted Girl By Night and this kind of reminds me of it, I’ve never smelled the perfumes below that are referenced to this-all those Dior ones I’ve not smelled But I think I may have to now!!! I love so many Dior fragrances so I’m sure I’ll think them too! As for this, do yourself a favour, Buy it!!! It smells so nice, it’s got incredible projection, it lasts a long time, smells so beautiful and it’s dirt cheap!!!

I had to write another review for this fragrance.. I urge anyone who sees this at SDM to snatch it up. The longevity and sillage are commendable. It lasts overnight on clothes and the dry down smells incredible. It surrounds you in this beautiful sophisticated candy-like vanilla, tonka bean, almond + tolu balsam aura. It's one of those fragrances where you keep asking "what is that beautiful smell I'm smelling?" only to realize it's YOU. Yes Lord. I'm not the biggest fan of orange/citrus accords but the bitter orange doesn't get carried through to the dry down because I only smell it during the opening. It's definitely not linear. The tolu balsam and sandalwood in the dry down add a special oomfp which prevents the fragrance from being cloying, too sweet and too gourmande. The atomizer is honestly not the best but that's a very small con for the beauty of this scent. It projects in both hot weather (I'm writing this while the heater is blasting) and cold weather.

This perfume really impressed me! For a cheapie (19.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart), it smells and performs like an expensive, designer fragrance. I can smell the orange, rose, vanilla, tonka bean, almond and sandalwood. The overall effect is powdery, sparkling, effervescent and comforting. Like a blanket wrapped around you! This is a "sweater" scent. You want to smell like this while wearing your favourite cashmere sweater! It also projects well and really lasts! People pay well over a hundred dollars for fragrances that are nowhere near as good as this one is. I can't believe that this is sold at such a bargain basement price point. I have a hard time with certain powdery fragrances not agreeing with me (Ange ou Demon, Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme) but I had no issues with 770, which was a relief. Grab this if you can, while it's still on the bargain shelf. Great value for your money!

Picked it up for $20 at SDM and I might just have to go back and grab another! Often I buy fragrances from the $19 shelf and use them a handful of times before forgetting about them, but this one seems like a winner. It is a cozy, sweet, slightly powdery gourmand vanilla scent that lasts and lasts. I sprayed it on my blanket yesterday afternoon and it’s still going pretty strong. Bless all of you Canadians who made me aware, otherwise I’d have passed this up without knowing how lovely it is. I could see this being something I wear constantly and hopefully it’ll be nice in the warmer weather too.

This is a beautiful gourmand. The vanilla-almond accord makes for a special creamy, nutty sweetness, so much more than if it was just vanilla alone. Tonka is often spicy to my nose but not here. More likely it's adding to the creamy vanilla. Rose is not easily picked out. This is primarily a sweet scent that gourmands will love. It's inexpensive, for me $20 at SDM. I love it. I bought a couple back-up bottles. It's long lasting and sillage is fairly loud so depending on where you're going, you may need to watch those sprays. Otherwise, live it up because it's delicious!

Wow. I love this. I received this as a sample, and I cannot get enough of it. It smells like almond, vanilla, sunscreen, a little bit of baby powder... This is an extremely nostalgic scent for some reason, it brings me back to my childhood in the 90s. Something about this smells so familiar, but I can't put my finger on what. Very comforting scent, very soft. I could see this being a bedtime perfume easily. I'll definitely get great use out of my decant!

This is quite pretty and long lasting. I have just started experimenting with perfume layering and must say this is an excellent one to pair others with. It adds the sweetness and warmth that is otherwise lacking in some of my other fragrances. So far I have used it with Roma - Laura Biagiotti. I loved this combination! Especially on a cold and rainy day. Today I layered it with DKNY Be Delicious. It is also beautiful. Overall I'm quite happy with this.

Great shoppers drug mart $20 find! Smells awesome, and my boyfriend also rated it a 9/10 (we rarely agree on scents). I don’t know what poison girl smells like but this has a lovely almond note that I adore. Lots of sweetness and vanilla too. It does smell very similar to Armaf Eternia, which I also love.

All I can say is WOW! This was picked up for 19.99 at shoppers drug mart. I ended up buying 6 bottles. Lol only 3 are for me. This is so creamy, soft and really long lasting. I am obsessed with this. The wafts of scent coming up from my 2 sprays are amazing, definitely a 100 percent love.

Just purchased this ...note for note - this is an exact DUPE for Poison Girl... compare the notes they are almost completely identical !! This wears slightly more powdery but it's really pretty. This was a steal at $20 compared to over $100 for my Poison Girl.

Why buy Poison Girl when you can buy this instead? Enough said.

Smells like smelling a freshly open pack of pink pez candy

Hmm how is it possible that I got this one for 8 USD... oh right. Not viral or new. This is very very very surprising I bought it because of the bottle, it caught my attention but oh my... this reminds me of baby powder but that is not what surprised me, I actually really like it and that is new. I tend to feel really insecure about how I smell if I wear one of my scents that smells like baby powder like tease creme cloud from VS, but with this beauty that doesn’t happen. I don’t know how but this is the definition of sexy baby powder with a modern day grandma touch. And i’m not saying that as a bad thing. Classy sexy grandma I guess (?). I love this and it feels vintage but not like a Chanel N5 type of scent. Sweet, fun, sexy, different. And let’s not forget, cheap. Oh and trust me when I say do not overspray this 🤣, yes, it is cheap but do not let that fool you, the perfume lasts about 8 hours on my skin and you can smell me from the other side of the country when first applied which I don’t really like but that is just when the perfume is still wet on your skin. Buy this, I’m a 27 year old woman, and I feel like anyone can wear this. Old sexy lady but let’s make it fun for everyone.

I picked this fragrance up at Shoppers Drug Mart for 19.99 yesterday, I have to say that I’m enjoying it quite a bit. I was worried that it might come off as being powdery on me but the almond and tonka make it lean more creamy. It reminds me of Hypnotic Poison and Juliette Has A Gun Mmmmm... I wish I could catch the Rose note in it but the creamier notes definitely dominate any floral notes. I can’t wait to see how it wears in cooler weather, I think it will be a lovely sweater weather fragrance!

I love that this perfume is being reviewed by all Canadian Shoppers Drug Mart customers! It’s a scent that has only gained my appreciation since I first bought it, so cozy to wear. Definitely worth more than the 20$ it cost me, I love it!

I bought this several months ago and, like many others here, I picked it up for a steal at SDM. It was a blind buy and when I brought it home and tried it, I thought that it was a nice successful blind buy. But I got it in a period where I had added several perfumes to my wardrobe and so, after wearing it once or twice, I moved on to other scents and sort of forgot about it. Today I was going through one of my drawers looking for something else and happened to pick this bottle up and I sprayed it on one wrist to remind myself what it was like. Wow , this is delicious and, unlike some other bargain scents that smell good but are here and gone in a few minutes this one seems to have decent projection and longevity. It is a gourmand with vanilla, and almond, and tonka, blending into a beautiful heart and the bitter orange (and maybe the tolu balsam) adding a twist and making it more interesting than your average over sweet vanilla based gourmand . I’d be tempted to try to pick up another bottle but, since this is already a 100ml bottle and with as many perfumes as I own, I think this one bottle will probably out last me. Still to anyone out there who likes slightly more edgy gourmands I’d really recommend picking this up if you see it out there at a good price.

I saw this in the display case at SDM and quickly pulled out my phone to check out the reviews. Thank you so much all of you with the great reviews. It really is so pretty for $21.99. It is a warm, sexy, skin scent but better if that makes sense. The first spray is mostly soft almond, then some powdery vanilla/caramel and I swear a trace of cinnamon. I don't get any real orange smell to it but it's very well blended and stays this way throughout it's skin tenure. Reasonably nice projection and even when you think it's lost it's scent aura someone will comment on how nice you smell. I will definitely be repurchasing - a safe blind buy if you like soft gourmand fragrance.

Got this at SDM for $20. I was so excited when I saw the positive reviews on here, and the comparison to Hypnotic Poison! Unfortunately, I don't think it compares at all. This smells like a vanilla, with maybe a hint of citrus. It's very light, airy, easy to wear for the day. It gives me D&G Light Blue vibes. The dry down has that same rubbery smell that Light Blue has on me. Really synthetic smelling. This smells kind of juvenile and cheap to me. It's pleasant, polite, inoffensive. But I'm not that into it. It's a no from me.

I got this for $19.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart after seeing it had vanilla, almond and tonka bean in it (I'm a sucker for that combo) and wasn't disappointed. It's a warm, sweet cozy scent that is soft and lovely and has good lasting power. The reviewers below me are more eloquent in describing this cozy gem.

Just bought this at Shoppers for $17.77 and it is fantastic! Reminds me a lot of Acqua Di Parma Mandorlo. It is quite strong and a very pretty almond vanilla. Highly recommend! Edit: The dry down actually reminds me of Hypnotic Poison. Very long lasting and cozy.
