Bronze Goddess Eau de Parfum 2019

Beachy, gorgeous, warm, exotic, tropical, lush, floral, softly sweet, slightly woody, luxurious, sensual, feminine, chic, elegant, luminous, transportive, nostalgic On me this opens with fresh tropical coconut and exotic and sweet Tiare flower. It’s a fairly linear fragrance, but as it dries down I notice the warm, sweet, and sensual vanilla, the golden warmth of the amber, and the creamy woody scent of the sandalwood a bit more prominently. The notes that are the most prominent on me throughout the wear are the coconut and Tiare flower. I absolutely adore Bronze Goddess, and I’ve owned it for several years. It’s always been such an easy summertime reach for me. It’s something that I plan to always keep in my collection. It has such a beautiful monoi oil scent to it (I love the smell of monoi oil!), but with more depth than just your basic monoi oil. I also get a soft high end sun tan lotion scent only more chic and elegant. It’s a really nice balance because you get that sun tan lotion scent, but it’s not overwhelming, it’s more delicate instead. The overall vibe I get is of a luxurious tropical beach with sun warming bare skin, warm golden sand, and watching a bright sunny sky become a beautiful sunset over the ocean. This feels very feminine to me, and like it would suit women of any age. I prefer wearing this the most during the late spring and summer, but it’s also nice if you want that beachy vibe during the colder weather too. I think this is suitable for pretty much any occasion including work and/or school. To me, it’s basically a classic, and it’s very hard to go wrong with (as long as you enjoy these kind of beachy/coconut fragrances). I get great performance with Bronze Goddess. The longevity is really good, it lasts the majority of the day on me. The projection is nice, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me For some reference, some of my other favorite beachy/coconut fragrances include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Bobbi Brown Beach, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, B&BW Coco Paradise

I got this in a sample size for Christmas 2020. I waited til summer 2021 to use it and from first spritz I just fell in love!! Once I started I couldn't stop...i wore it everywhere....day and night. It didn't take long to use the bottle up. And the heat just does something to it - illuminates it, intensifies and refreshes it! I would describe this scent as equal parts coconut, vanilla, tiare flower and amber. I would also describe it as similar to Bath and Body Works Sensual Amber but crossed with coconut. Though lighter and not as cloying as Sensual Amber. Now every time I sniff my (empty☹️) bottle it has me nostalgic for hot lazy summer afternoons spent visiting my grandmother and drinking Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee...and sitting on the porch with my son counting the number of boxcars together as the freight train thunders by... I'm very much an Autumn girl but this perfume gets me so nostalgic for heat and lightning bugs and twilight strolls around town... So many perfumes give me a headache but this one, surprisingly, does not. This is one I would repurchase, no questions asked, and would have no problem going through an entire bottle. I would consider this 1 of my 2 signature summer scents!🥥🍦🌼 (#2 would be Heiress by Paris Hilton for a lighter, fruitier summer scent.) Since I love this one so much, I would also love to try some of the other Bronze Goddess perfumes!

okay, i got very surprised when i tried this perfume because this smells like creamy, powdery lavender to me. It's a very clean scent and not sweet as it was described by many. I can also detect the vanilla in the background, but it's mostly freshness on my nose. I love it a lot, it's definitely a heat-friendly fragrance that any woman of any age can rock. It's the kind of scent that can be your signature, at least where i live, cause it doesn't seem popular, so it's unique. Extra specific, BUT it smells just like the Starbucks ice macha tea latte with lavender, JUST like it!!! and i happen to love this drink, so i love the perfume too hahahahh Edit: It took a bit of time on me to become a sweet scent. Maybe it was cause the bottle was used for the first time that i didn't get the sweetness at first. Now i smell creamy, sweet coconut and vanilla. It's SO juicy and delicious. Perfect for summer, either for day or night. 10/10. If you know someone who loves sweet perfumes (yourself or a friend), it's a safe buy imo. Just be careful not to spray too much. Two spritz are enough when it comes to hot weather. Just make sure to use a good moisturizer before you spray your body so that the scent lasts longer.

This is such a gem to me. Absolute love at first sniff! I have been eyeing this one for awhile now but didn’t want to blind buy in case I didn’t like it, however, I stopped by Ulta today and someone had accidentally left a sale sign up so I got it discounted and figured today was the day! I have zero regrets. This smell magically transforms me into a 125 lb beautiful, slender, tan, “bronze goddess” (in my mind, anyway haha). The name is very fitting, in my opinion. The smell of this transports me to a secluded island with coconuts and the scent of tropical flowers in the breeze. I don’t get any creamy suntan lotiony smell (which I wouldn’t be opposed to if I did). It’s not a “clean” or “fresh” beach smell. I also don’t get citrus. It’s pretty, simply put. I can definitely smell the similarities in comparison to YSL Black Opium - but to me BO is great for cooler nights whereas this reminds me of a day in the sun. Great longevity and silliage without being overpowering and smothering. I have found my summer scent! I really did not want to be curious about the skinscent version but I love this so much it may be worth checking into as well.

This took me completely by surprise. I had seen a few reviews, and it was generally well liked and positive, so I tried it at a store recently...OBSESSED! So a full bottle was purchased and I haven't looked back. I'm not into coconut fragrances usually (the odd exception like Alien Goddess Intense...interesting coincidence in the name) but this is just gorgeous and by far my fave. A perfect mix of vanilla and coconut with a touch of white flowers makes this a gorgeous tropical and bright fragrance. The dry down is where it's really at though. That smooth coconut and vanilla blend makes it edible. It's just delicious. I had sprayed this on one chilly morning while still wearing my dressing gown and the next morning as I put my coat on again, that scent just wafted out like a welcoming hug. Haven't worn anything else over the last week since. I'm even happy to say this could be a signature scent for me. Its not a long lasting fragrance on the skin, maybe a couple hours, but it is on clothes. Like it's hard to wash it out. I don't mind though 😍
