Girl of Now

Candied Almonds with Crispy Edges in Almond Milk... Very much an almond scent, this took a bit of time to win me over, but now I do enjoy it. I get a candied almond/honey-roasted almond with crispy edges that eventually smooths out being blended into an almond milk although the candied almond remains. All the notes are there if you look for them. It's quite powerful with the patchouli-cashmeran driving things from the base. My first impression, was that it was all base, but now all the other notes are coming forward in a beautiful way.. It's a different almond from scents like Hypnotic Poison Dior (which to me leans more to almond paste/marzipan). Also great for layering, and so far I've mostly layered it with: Girl of Now + Dolce Garden Dolce & Gabbana (love this combo). Enjoy! Contrast to Cheirosa '62 Sol de Janeiro: These are different, although there's a similar sweet nuttiness. Girl of Now is a lot more powerful and has the patchouli-cashmeran in the base, although these would likely layer well (although I haven't tried them together). Contrast to Shock-in-Scent Police: These are different, although there's a similar vibe with candied almonds and patcouli. Girl of Now dries down with more creaminess. Both are strong performers, although Girl of Now is a bit stronger. Contrast to La Vie Est Belle Lancôme: These are different, although there's a very similar vibe in the base. They dry down quite differently with Girl of Now being all about the almond and turning more creamy. They're both quite powerful, but La Vie Est Belle is a bit stronger.

Wow. 7 months later I came to give it another try and It was SOOOO WORTH IT. Beautiful beautiful beaaaautttiiiifffuuuuuulllllll almond marzipan 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I freaking adore unique scents like this it keeps pulling me in to smell it over and over again like a magnet, I simply can't get enough??!!! I've seen the reviews, a bunch of people don't like it and I think it's because the fragrance is simply as what the notes show it's a very synthetic almond marzipan that's it. I think for the people didn't like it It was either not their taste or were expecting more but nope there's nothing more to it other than what the notes show but it's very very admiringly beautiful and I recommend to give it a try! I always find myself drawn to unique fragrances that leave a vivid image in my memory, if i didn't think about it again that day means it's not remarkable therefore it's just like any other fragrance BUT THIS ONE IS THE OPPOSITE AND I LIKED THAT A LOT. LIKE A LOTTTTTT. Even my mum who despises anything sweet loved this so much!! She said it smells like cake and kept praising it 🥹💞 BUT!! Be careful in storing this since my first impression of this perfume was so so bad it smelt like play doh and I didn't understand the comments who did enjoy it but now I definitely do hehe 😎 Unfortunately it was just not stored properly I think I'd prefer to be careful and make sure you never leave this out on a hot day and that is all!

I bought this perfume as a blind buy—completely without testing it first... and I’m so glad I did! The first impression I got when I smelled it was: warm, soft, yet full of character. In my opinion, the scent is balanced—about 50% gourmand, 25% floral, and 25% citrusy. But the citrus here isn’t the refreshing, zesty kind; it’s more of a sweet, fruity vibe coming from the orange blossom and pear. The pistachio and almond notes are beautifully blended. I was a bit hesitant at first, wondering, “Will it be too roasted or bitter?”—but no, not at all. The almond is creamy, smooth, and soft; it spreads over my skin like an almond cream. The pistachio isn’t like that intense pistachio ice cream kind—it’s more delicate, more refined, and gives the perfume a unique character. Thanks to its floral aspects, it also carries a feminine feel, but it’s not overwhelming. The citrusy and fruity opening gives the scent a touch of energy. On my skin, it becomes softer and creamier over time. On clothes, the orange blossom and pear stand out a bit more. Overall, I really liked this perfume. It’s neither too heavy nor too light. It’s a scent you can comfortably wear in all seasons—sweet, feminine, and sophisticated all at once.

It smells so sweet, nutty and creamy !!! It reminds me of a really luxurious hotel’s Almond Milk soap (In a very good way) ! Thanks to the Almond and Almond milk, but then, it becomes more nutty and yummy with that perfect Pistachio, and a more discreet, but pleasant Tonka Bean !!! The Mandarin and Pear are bright and sweet. The Mandarin’s more delicate and adds a citrusy side in the opening, but the Pear is really noticeable, even if more subtle than the nutty notes. The Pear is sweet, feels juicy and fresh, fruity and a bit brighter than the previously quoted notes. Then White Florals (Orange Blossom, Magnolia) are enhancing the creamy part of the fragrance, complimenting the Nutty and Sweet notes. However, I do not find the Patchouli and Cashmeran to be particularly present in the scent, they feel like they enhance the intensity and depth of the fragrance, but I can’t put my nose on them... It lasts a loooong time on skin and clothes and projects really well in terms of sillage. It’s an elegant masterpiece, I feel like a piece of art when wearing Girl Of Now. 10/10

Love don’t be shy made me hate Orange Blossom. But Girl of Now turned me into an Orange Blossom lover. She is warm, sweet, nutty, rich, and a little loud. She is ideal for fall and winter because she can cut through cold weather and she lasts forever on clothes. I know that this was very hyped when it was first released, not only is the hype deserved but she has also stood the test of time. This is a true love of mine. 10/10. For a dense and sweet combo layer the following: For body care use Jergens Almond Body Oil for a base. Then layer Girl of Now with a honey forward scent like KKW Pure Honey, Mix Bar Honey Milk, or Bath and Body Works Honeycomb. Girl of Now pairs beautifully with so many honey scents, that I am shocked there has not been a honey flanker. For a layering combo that will make you smell like a pistachio dream start with the ESO Pistachio body cream. Then drown yourself in Girl of Now and top off with Yum Pistachio Gelato 33. The result is airy and grounding at the same time.
