Tracy

I just bought this as a gift set, perfume, body lotion and shower gel, as a blindbuy for my birthday. I put it in the same category with Percieve Oasis from Avon (because of the peony, I just love peony) and maybe also with Chloe. I am already wearing this for two weeks now, but only in the sunny and warm days. My bottle doesn't look like the one pictured here, and as I read I think it might be a reformulation. But I absolutely like it , if it was a little more intense it would have been better! For me this is the smell of my childhood, subtle, powdery, acctually it has a body lotion vibe, I feel the wafts during the day and makes me so confortable! In fact my first sniff reminded me of a friend of my parents, who also was my french teacher, I really feel like this was her perfume and I think it suited her very well, as she was very thin and tall, with her curly long hair, a little too much make up...and all her wool sweaters and skirts, knitted by herself.... just lovely memories!

A luminous demure aura extreamly feminine scent nothing sharp harsh or edgy just a soft non obtrusive with a girlish innocence kind of a scent that is safe and ideal for young girls for their first perfume collection. It opens with a scent of sweet and airy peonies delicate sweetness of each pink petal dries fresh with a green note of cassia adds to the freshness then in a minute or so turns fruity with the succulent note of plum blossom and i also can detect juicy ripe peach mingling with the deeper and more juicer plum dries the top note. Rose opens the middle notes but it's faint and diluted then iris with it's powdery texture steeps slowly though the middle note then delicate note of purple violet finishes the middle note. The drydown opens with an milky accord that is a bit cloying to my senses amber with a warm coziness begins to makes it's presence then it finishes with dry sandalwood and vanilla to end this femininity.

Lovely, lovely, oh so lovely! I've had it on for six hours now and it's still going strong. At present all I can say is that I totally agree with Fancygirl who said it is decidedly reminiscent of Laura by Laura Biagiotti, which is hard to find where I live, except at astronomical prices. It is weaker than Laura, which is a good thing: it is like having a whisper of Laura hanging around my hair, glimpsed in the periphery of my vision. A dry-down sort of Laura, missing the fruity volume of the opening, which I disliked. Laura was my perfume in my 20s, and it is bundled with both happy and sad memories: to have Laura back, and in a more subdued floral form, is like starting over, and with only the best from that time. But “I’m not Laura, my name is Tracy!” to paraphrase a 70s country song. So I’ll be back with a proper review of sweet, pretty Tracy, a rain-washed spring garden of a perfume.

I fell in love with this creamy, sweet, almondy beauty by snagging a set of 4 Ellen Tracy roller balls from Burlington. I kept seeing other Ellen Tracy fragrances around discount stores and thought this would be a great way to try the others. I was pleasantly surprised- I actually loved all of them. But... The one that got most of my attention was Tracy. Nutty, creamy, soft flowers. Violets and roses ....something comforting and ladylike about this one. It also has a cooling effect that I think will be nice in warm weather. It's like wearing a luxurious lotion as a perfume. I kept getting sweet almond powder wafts- so calming and lovely! This is a scent I can wear to work without scent-bombing anyone out. I wore it to bed, and when I woke up it was still there- Plus for longetivity. I found a big bottle for $10 at Ross. I think it is unique and lovely.

I am having so much fun experimenting with my set of four Ellen Tracy minis. I sample one per day in order to give each one my proper and undivided attention. At this point I could not pick a favorite among Tracy, Ellen, ET, or Bronze. It's almost a seasonal thing...four scents, four seasons...could it be that easy? "Tracy" has springtime all over it. I had to do some free-association with this one. My first sniff, I thought - okay, you can do this, you can pick out the flower note in this, because I know it's something from my own garden...it's not rose...I'm thinking peony, which smells so gorgeous in early spring. When I rushed to this site to see if I was correct, there it was in the notes. I felt like I'd just passed an important perfume test. This scent calls for sipping chilled white wine on a nice spring evening. Love it.

The most feminine soft floral perfume i own personally. It s such a surprise to be introduced to this highly underrated perfume only by chance, it warmed up really nicely to my chemistry. Most of the time, my body chemistry dictates more expensive perfume into masculine powerhouses i so detest or vintage heavy floral smells that reminds me of a group of rich old ladies and aunties in over obtrusive makeup and clothes. Though i usually do not like the peony accord, in this scent, it blends quite well and does not stand out in a sharp smell, instead i get mostly soft soft roses and delicious violets!This eventually blends down to the warm feminine milky vanilla, and amber. sandalwood is only felt ever so lightly. It is truly a beautiful fragrance i would recommend to any women's collection, young or old.

I bought this perfume over the internet solely based on good reviews I read about it and I had never smelled it before. Luckily, it's a lovely, soft, creamy, clean, warm and very feminine perfume and it has great staying power. I only need to spritz myself with it once and that one spray will last on my skin all day and night, yet it's far from being an overpowering scent. It's so soft and creamy! I can definitely recommend this for anyone who likes perfumes that aren't smell-alikes and who likes soft, feminine perfumes. There's no mistaking this for a unisex scent! I'm very glad I have a big bottle of this in my ever expanding collection of perfumes and it's one that gets regular use because it's good for any occasion, day or night. I give it a big thumbs up and 5 out of 5!!

Wow. After reading the recent comments about the new formula, I am SO glad that I held onto my bottle, well box lol When I first started learning my way through the world of fragrance, this was one of the first 10 or 20 that I used.....a LOT. I have a true love of peony if it isn't beat you over the head type of scent. This and Red Door Revealed are my top two peony fragrances. It is true that this is a superb work fragrance. It gets compliments and not the off-handed ones meaning they really don't like it or it's too bold. Tracy is AMAZING. So sad that they have decided to water it down.......or add too much alcohol. Dang, Ellen Tracy fragrances are super inexpensive to begin with...how much cheaper can you make it?!??!

OMGosh smelled today on a friend n she is like a young Cher look-alike n this suited her to a tee! I breathed her in when she came near so sillage is great n she says it is really long lasting as well. Nice!! Rarely does a frag stop me on a dime! Getting this fer-sher!!! Wowza!! House of ELLEN is a good house!! Many great quality frags n price is very inexpensive n in this case the value is tremendous n one of the best I've ever smelled!! Yes that great!! Lo olí en una amiga parecida a una joven Cher y le quedaba muy bien este perfume! Tenia muy buena proyección y dijo q dura mucho. Raramente me llama tanta la atención un a frag. La casa de perfumes Elles tiene varios muy buenos a exc precios!

I'm surprised that several reviewers have said this perfume smells of peaches, and that it has also been compared to Ungaro Apparition. I have Tracy (review far below!!) and don't smell even a smidgeon of peach in it! Also, I have Ungaro Apparition and I think they smell very, very different (on me Apparition smells very much like raspberry kirsch, which is not like Tracy at all!). It's really interesting how some perfumes can smell so different on (and to the noses of) different people!! I do agree with Malegria though that Tracy is quite an 'intimate' smelling scent - it's soft, slightly soapy, creamy and sexy in a very ladylike, gentle way. It's a lovely scent.

I bought this blind today because I am obsessed with Ellen Tracy "Ellen Tracy" and it was also super cheap at TJ MAXX. Of course it is not as good as ET ET but it is certainly a very nice clean floral and perfect for Spring & Summer. There is something familiar about this like I have smelled this before or something similar but none of the notes really stand out on me except the rose and something sort of almost peppery/creamy. Maybe it is the almond? I don't know but I love it and am glad I took a chance and blind bought it. I also got stopped in a store after putting it on and was told I smelled amazing so it is noticeable to others!

A second review for me, I had the rollerball, now I also have the spray (thank you, TJ Maxx). 5 hours ago, getting ready for work, I gave myself 3 sprays. I am now at my workplace, and I just can't get over the delightful little wafts of scent that occasionally drift up from my wrists and neck as I move and type. This might be the only other scent that I would consider as my signature, it's always "right." It's soft, light and creamy, yet has an unmistakeable presence. It's noticeable in such a sweet way. I love the ET scents - Bronze, ET, Tracy, and Ellen. Four sisters, each lovely in their very own way, yet unmistakeably related.

WOw!! I have got to say... I love this fragrance! It's soft, it's fresh, it's exotic and creamy. THis scent is perfect for work and will be my new go- to just for that. It's sexy too. I love it and so does the bf!! I was kinda hesitant at first cuz my first two ellen tracy buys did not pan out so good (too woodsy) but on one of my fragrance hunts last wk, a sales lady mentioned that this was a good scent. Well, fast forward to yesterday when I went to Ross and saw this huge bottle for only $10... I snatched it up and have to say, I am so not disappointed in this one. Kudos Ellen on this Tracy :)!!! <3

I have already a third bottle of this perfume and I really love it! When I wear it I get a lot of compliments especially from men, questioning the name of this wonderful perfume! It seems like men like it more and women seem to underestimate it. Ellen Tracy perfume smells delicious, sweet and very feminine. This is a seductive beautiful scent with floral main notes and sandalwood, almond notes added to it. And it is very long lasting. I see some not so positive reviews here, but I'd like to add that I got so many compliments on this perfume that I've never got on any other.

Djuzz.becuzz - It sounds to me as if the bottle you have is a knock-off and not the real Tracy if, as you said, the bottle itself looks different. Also, I find it to be a very long-lasting perfume, and even though of course everyone has different skin types and what lasts on one person may fade quickly on another, it just sounds to me as if the perfume you have is actually a fake! If that's the case, you might want to try getting hold of the real thing because it is very nice!!

I wore this last night when I went to church at 7:00pm And this morning when I woke up I went to my living room and there was this beautiful and very feminine aroma that just had me searching all over the place to find it source. Its was so enchanting and Im thinking what is this scent? Then I remember it was Tracy . It last a long time I can still smell it on me and Its 8:34 am. Just gorgeous!!

This one is a sleeper creeper. It smells gross fresh out the bottle... But let it develop and it gives off a deep, floral, layered pleasant experience. It works it's magic in the ice cold winter. It's strong and the violets are strong, it's very fragrant and enticing. It's perfume done right! Sillage is strong, longevity is there, and it develops like real perfumes do.

This is my first perfume by Ellen Tracy, and I happened to like it. It's soft and balmy. Very soothing. Very pleasant floral aroma. Sweet, but not too sweet. Usually, vanilla doesn't agree with me, but here I don't find it annoying, and it doesn't bother me. Very feminine scent. Good for spring and summer. Great longevity.

This perfume is gorgeous! And do you know which smell it resembles the most?? It is like the ULTIMATE smell of a superfresh PEACH!! Like I just bought myself a juicy Peach on the market and I am smelling it real life! I never ever smelled a perfume so realistic to nature!

I love this perfume. It gives me the same vibes as 5th Avenue by Elizabeth Arden. It's not a dupe but it's the same classic and sophisticated type of fragrance like they would hang out in the same social circles. And it's SO affordable. Very pretty.
