Gossip

The Short: I love this. Floral fruity sweetness with a subtle woody dry down. The Long: Got this for $1 at a yardsale. I loved the bottle and the red cap. I didn’t even open it to sample it. A year has come and gone and I found this hiding behind a different boxed bottle. Popped open and sprayed. It is bright and citrusy, sweetly floral, a teensy bit herbal and then softly woodsy. It has presence and longevity. * Matillyrose and HeidiLynn really did great reviews on notes. I don’t think I need a back up bottle but, I smile when I see this bottle because I know it is going to lift my spirit. Although, I would snap it up if I found it out in the wild for the right price. Please note, I really love perfumes of yesteryear. If you are not a fan in general, you may not like this.

Gossip by Cindy Adams: My mom received a bottle of this as a gift and did not care for it so she gave it to me when I was a teen. Omg I miss this perfume so much! It is sweet and syrupy. Loved it!

This is a very under-rated perfume which is great for me cuz i especially like perfumes that everyone isn't wearing, i love this scent and i cant wait to get back another bottle

Smells very boudoir feminine. I'm testing Gossip when it's raining heavily outside and all I can see is grey overcast skies - and Gossip surprisingly acts as a comfort smell here. It's not particularly woody, oudy or ambery as I usually like my comfort smells to be, but a comfort flower scent. Gossip does have notes of amber and wood, but osmanthus is very prominent here as well as freesia, and they are both loud noticeable flowers. There is a lovely interweaved powdery note, and a refreshing green tea note that keeps this whole thing sweet-smelling but pleasant. Gossip does not smell expensive, there is some cheapness about it, but it attracts nevertheless - like tarty peroxide blonds attract perfectly groomed intelligent men. There is sexiness in Gossip, and it's well-blended, so for the nice price of $6.45 for 15 ml it's totally worth having. The staying power is couple of hours, then I could smell vanilla only when pressing my nose to the wrist. If wanted, reapplication is easy - the mini is a super cute little spray bottle, fits into any purse.

Gossip is very true to its name. I just love the Tangerine opening...juicy and full of tart innuendos just like gossip should be. Then you get to the temptation...the sweetness of creamy florals to lure you in. Then there is the heart... the dark, shadowy, whispering woods where you finally find out the hidden truth. Yes this Fragrance is very much like Gossip. Also reminds me of the scene in Bridget Jones Diary 2 when she is spying on Mark Darcy and slides off his skylight into the bushes to be greeted at the door by the gorgeous Rebecca. This is a fun, sweet, slightly floral, musky, oriental sandalwood fragrance that I enjoy wearing as much as I have enjoyed reviewing.
