Girl of Now Lovely

For a designer scent and for being sold for such a reasonable price, Girl of Now Lovely is a fantastic value perfume. Bottle has a unique design, pretty but quite classic looking. The name is very uninspired in my opinion.. It’s a very interesting mix of aromatics: mint, patchouli and rosemary, floral notes: orange blossom, blackcurrant blossom, galbanum, frangipani and rose, plus nuts: almonds and tonka and fruits: pear and mandarin oranges. The blend is smooth, balanced and has an interesting scent profile. If you’re not a mint person, don’t shy away from trying this one. It gives me mojito vibes not toothpaste for the one that are scared of this note. Together with the sweeter notes the almonds and the vanilla creates a wonderful scent trail. I am really impressed by this and I am planning to get a full bottle as soon as I can get a good sale on it! As far as performance and versatility goes, again nothing bad to say. Performs really well, it’s strong and has good projection for the first hour. Can be worn most of the year, since it’s so complex but not cloying, heavy or overwhelming. Maybe avoid it during summer high heat. Very delicious and underrated scent!! I would not call this a mass appealing scent but definitely stands out in the designer world. Don’t know who the nose is behind this juice, but did an outstanding job, this it’s a creative scent without being too strange or too niche smelling to wear on a daily basis!

It is so literally fascinating, how the same scent can be so different for each individual. For GON Lovely, I don't get an actual mint note, I get the same sort of cooling vibe/sensation that you get from something like Alien (OG), or Libre, or Armani Code, but I do not detect mint at all. The rosemary is also very light-I've heard a review that it makes the scent savory but that is definitely not the case to me, it's still 100% sweet. It is very similar to the original GON, but I think it's actually closer to Shine. One thing that makes it different from both is that it is not as heavy and syrupy. I do occasionally, actually most often, love a sweet, decadent fragrance. The other flankers can be a bit much, especially in warmer temps. I feel like Lovely is a more crowd-friendly version. She is lighter, but make no mistake, she isn't *light*. I personally do not have to respray, unless I really want to get those opening notes really bright again, at all. I love this even more than the original. It actually is probably one of my top three scents. It's almost a caramel scent to me-I'd daresay some was hiding in there if I didn't see the actual notes. I get no anise. That's actually a bit of a disappointment, I like that note quite a bit. It's a decadent, (but not cloying), yummy, feminine fragrance with great lasting power and silage. Highly recommend.

Girl of Now Lovely is the best of the Girl of Now line in my opinion. Unlike the other, the Lovely version is very nuanced, complex and multifaceted. Has a very green, aromatic, herbal tone that is present from the beginning until the scent fades completely. But has a floral, nutty, almondy heart, which lays on a sweet, warm, slightly spicy base made of tonka beans, amber and patchouli. It’s very intense and rich and gathers me compliments even from strangers when I wear it. Best suitable for spring and fall weather, has the freshness of early spring days and the warmth and richness of fall season. Considering the price, the depth and the performance, this scent is an absolute gem! My most favourite Elie Saab perfume for sure. I have taken a travel size of this with me for a late summer trip to Sardegna and the shop assistant in several different places complimented me saying that the entire store smelled like me when I was wearing Girl of Now Lovely. So I have very found memories with this!! Underrated perfume IMO, I haven’t smelled anyone wearing it besides me, so for those ladies who want an affordable, unique smelling, good performing scent, get yourself a bottle of Girl of Now Lovely!

Definitely my least favorite of the line Smells like sore throat's tea 🍵or sore throat drops, it has an ointment, type of medicine scent to it. The mint stays but it's not refreshing, in my opinion this is not fresh enough for hot weather, somehow I'm getting thyme 🤔 The original is the best if you like almond and pistachio. The shine version smells like Kombucha and the Forever has this artificially sweet raspberry note, that is not for me. This one is unique, I'll give it that Edit: after 4 hours it smells good to me, but still very much like Himalayan tea Edit:😭 😭 My wicked tongue 😝 This scent is great, I really don't like on the skin but the sillage, the projection, the scent bubble is absolutely beautiful... What a spin, Forever is my least favorite after all (I have it for 2 years now I doubt it will change) Edit: got rid of the GON Forever, finally - I really couldn't stand it. Lovely is definitely my second favorite

It smells like Amaretto or marzipan. And most almond scents don't smell exactly like that because they are lacking the herbal note that would make them more... bitter, but in a good, realistic marzipan way? The green notes add depth and I wish it was even greener, spicier, herbal and less like patchouli, because the latter makes it so overwhelming sometimes. I have to apply it to freshly cleaned skin to get that green accord. Overspraying it all over, applying it on clothes and combining this with a humid space makes it sooo overwhelming and then it smells different to my nose... that's sad because it has a great summer scent potential, but I just can't with the patchouli. I will try more of it during the winter months. The other GON flankers were too sweet for me so I want to keep this because I love the bottle design
