Pret a Porter

This smells so familiar. I know it's been around forever, but this is my first interaction with this scent. In my 20's when this scent was at her peak, I was drowning myself in a cloud of BBW scents....Cucumber Melon or Seaspray (does anyone remember this one, it's not in the index!!) I smelled like all the other girls i knew, I guess conformity was my thing then but now I strive to do the opposite. This is very citrusy and fresh. But not light, it has a weight to it, a maturity even. But not dated. This is an awesome workday, everyday scent. I love this and I'm so glad I found it. I can't stop sniffing my arm.

Very popular in Poland. It's cheap drugstore smell but I like it a lot. It's citrus, creamy and little bit sweet but very fresh smell of white flowers. Unfortunately it doesn't last very long but you can spray it whenever you want and how much you want since it has such a low price.

I just got this in a lot of perfumes I bought and I really like it- very very citric and fresh- the grapefruit, orange and pepper really stand out. Decent sillage and longevity- great price.

It's citrusy, it smells like lemons to me, but there's nothing wrong with that, a great perfume for it's price. Inoffensive.

So cheap in price , so expensive in smell. Really love this cheap and cheerful scent.

I can imagine Rachel (from Friends) wearing it. It's so '90s, it's posh, it's unique... From my "modern" perspective it's not for everybody today. It's not timeless and it's kind of strange. Not in a bad way. Some people will like it forever but I think younger generation will not be so excited about it. Opening is citrusy (a lot) but very soon you can smell a lot of tamarind (in combination with other spices). Citrus part slowly fade and soon you can't smell it at all. Now you can add some freesia and magnolia for a short period of time (fade away very soon) and then add some sandalwood. At the end scent is very heavy. All fresh notes are gone so you can smell only well blended spices and wood. If you like that go for it. I like it...but even I can't wear it every day. Longevity is weak-moderate, and sillage is moderate. At start I would say that is a female scent but at the end is more unisex. Try it before you spend your money. On the other hand...it's so cheap...so maybe it's still a good blind buy?

Great value for a timeless scent, too bad the longevity is so poor. On me it disappears almost instantly, they don't make'em like they used to :( I remember smelling this so strongly on some of my girlfriends, but now even if I spray it an smell it directly, it wears off in a couple of minutes (and I have the EDT version, not the body spray). Looking for a "dupe" with better sillage if anybody knows one, in the meantime it will be my "home office quarantine" scent. I do associate it with an office environment, a chic young woman with black and white clothes and high heels :) So I'm not that upset it fades away so fast, but I probably won't buy it again soon.

I'm specially fond of this fragrance as it came out when I was a teenager and it brings back great memories...It is one of the few fragrances that I've managed to finish off within a reasonable amount of time (taking into account that I grow tired of perfumes quite fast, it really is an accomplishment). It's a nice non-invasive scent, but its composition is so complex that I feel totally incapable of distinguishing any note, except from some sandalwood as a base note. It's a very feminine and chic scent, fresh and spicy at the same time, and it's quite cheap, so it's always a staple in my collection.

Tested this in a supermarket in France (really) - creamy, flowery and fresh with a slight spicy-musky dry-down. Not similar to CK one IMHO. This is more creamy and less zingy, more comparable to Tommy Girl, if any. Timeless, as others have stated, and a true steal. I can imagine that the ingredients were better around the time it was first introduced. But for the price it is an absolute steal (moderate sillage and longevity). Wouldn't mind buying a bottle, this is 10 times nicer than many offerings being currently sold in upscale shops.

the DNA reminds me of a Calvin Klein or Issey Miyake fragrance. Clean, aquatic, and zingy. A sprinkle of masculinity in the Oakmoss and Black Pepper, but still totally unisex. Diplomatic, can be worn anywhere. It's missing some depth for me, so I mixed it with Black Pepper oil. I think the biggest difference between 90's, 00's clean fragrances and today's clean fragrances is the woody depth/base notes brands tend to add to modern ones.

I really enjoy 90's fragrances, they are different to the popular scents of nowadays without being "dated" if that makes any sense? This perfume is definitely a fresh/clean smell, without being musky, powdery or overly citrussy. The grapefruit & black pepper are the notes I can smell most prominently, it's spicy without being overly masculine, this is the sort of perfume that would be perfect for the office!

Imagine yourself peeling an orange beneath a magnolia tree in full bloom. This is the olfactory equivalent of that experience. This perfume is lovely, refreshing, unisex and absolutely office friendly. This perfume is not, however, a substitute for the glorious Frederic Malle Eau de Magnolia, as some reviewers claim on other sites.

The nostalgia of this scent... takes me back to middle school, when if you were cool you had Pret-a-porter. I really wanted this back then... Now - it's a sweet memory of youth and no worries. Doesn't last, it's more of a SPA fresh scent. You will smell it only for a short while, but then again - it costs almost nothing.

When the citrus notes start wearing off, you can distinguish a pure Freesia scent, resembling perfectly to the natural one. The only drawback for this perfume is that it lasts so little, i believe less than an hour. Otherwise, good value for its price.

Woods logs, bitter citrus peel , neutral two dimensional flowers. One of the best thing I’ve experienced; it speaks about glittering air and icy mornings, joy, easiness and light heart. Is it Light Blue’s inspirational source?

I really love freesia, but i don't like sweet perfumes. I am looking for a real freesia scent for a long time now, i tried a lot but unfortunately did not find the one yet.This one is the closest so far.

Revisiting this during a heatwave. Clean and refreshing. Modernly it feels unisex. I prefer it to CK One or Light Blue for occasions that call for a 90s freshie.

It's as citrus as it gets, slightly floral. Really fresh, the perfume smells just like the bottle looks. Definitely worth buying if you're into citrus smells.

In the end of 90s and begining of 20s you can smell this everywhere, this fragrance was so popular

Good 'ol classic. :) everyone had it when it came out. Haha :p
