Miss Pucci

This is what happens when a store runs out of GWP and the associate apologetically shovels a pound of samples into your bag. I am in silly high school love with this scent and I'm shocked because I haven't liked Pucci perfumes in the past. The primary note is magnolia brightened by citrus but I'm not detecting much wood. In any case this scent sparkles and is delightful. There's something very Carnaby Street about this stuff. Sillage: 1-2 ft if used with a measured hand Duration: 4 hours and counting Fabulosity: Chrissie Shrimpton on a Vespa Value to Price ratio: Very good 9/10

Emilio Pucci MISS PUCCI is a magnolia perfume, so let's set the record straight here. According to the manufacturer's card, the dominant notes are magnolia, rose, and musk, and that definitely coheres with my olfactory experience. This composition is a simple, clean, uncluttered presentation of magnolia which should be a welcome arrival for those troubled by the perhaps carcinogenic opening of Lanvin RUMEUR (which I finally decided to swap away, despite the beautiful bottle, because I just found the contents too scary to contemplate wearing). MISS PUCCI would make a fine magnolia quasi-soliflore perfume to grace the wardrobe of any perfumista with a penchant for ... magnolia! Or anyone else who wants to take an olfactory stroll Down South through mountains of sweet magnolia...

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this one. In contrast to many of the reviews below, I find this to be a well done, sparkling magnolia perfume with excellent staying power and sillage. Magnolia, rose, and musk aren't exactly a novel combination, but this perfume's true notes and staying power put MISS PUCCI ahead of the hoards of watery fruity florals being released these days. No, it's not as complex or unique as some of the other great scents on the market, but if you're looking for simple magnolia done right, look no further than MISS PUCCI.

Got a sample from Sephora and tried it on for weeks and I was loving it so I went ahead and bought the big bottle and as soon as I stepped out of the mall and tried it on again, I instantly walked back in to return it. It suddenly smelled like Harpic pine toilet detergent, even my mother agreed. I honestly don't know what happened. Note: when I went to Sephora to get it, the ladies told me that they only had one bottle in stock cuz they had just disconinued it because it wasnt selling and stopped carrying it in store..

I enjoyed this perfume. The cedar is very prominent throughout, so it's a great choice for cedar & woods lovers. When I first sprayed it on, it actually reminded me of the Christmas season because it smelled like a freshly cut evergreen. I am not a fan of citrus scents, and this one has just a bit too much for me to buy it, but I still like it.
