She Was Here

Sexy & intoxicating!!! I used to be a vanilla & gourmand hater 🫣 but She Was Here is SO beautifully blended with so much to offer! The pistachio & milk notes give a comforting & lactonic warmth that adds smooth richness without being suffocating. Nothing like Kayali Yum pistachio which can be cloying. The rose stands out giving her some sophistication & freshness and also keeps from getting too gourmand. Upon initial spray I would not categorize this as a gourmand right away. Maybe a flormand once she’s settled 😌 She’s a put together boss babe with a clean girl aesthetic who’s showered with vanilla shower gel. She’s put on an effortless outfit with heels. Then grabs a pistachio biscotti with a cold foam latte at the corner cafe enjoying it by the rose bushes on the patio. There’s something about her! And when she walks away onto the next... there’s a beautiful scent trail - you’d know “She Was Here” 😉 Just a very alluring, sexy, feminine, confident scent that’s appropriate for everyday wear especially into date nights. Men will be eating out of the palm of your hand! The scent journey is fabulous. I get a solid 10+ hours of wear too!

this scent is the definition of a well made fragrance. i’m a vanilla perfume lover , and not a big floral fan BUT THE ROSE IN THIS!!! it’s a creamy, slightly nutty rose. as the scent dries down more, it gets creamier and i’m here for it! she’s gorgeous and honestly signature scent worthy. the only reason it’s not for me , is because my mom thinks it’s too heavy and is not so much a fan. i remember the first time i smelt this in sephora and i sprayed it and IMMEDIATELY the women next to me asked what i just sprayed cause she loved it. it was sold out for monthssss and i stalked this perfume hard to get it when it came back in stock. the only con i have to this perfume is the longevity, shes short lived unfortunately :( amazing scent though, and i definitely recommend.

Tested this at Sephora the other day and now need to spring for a full bottle - I was initially unsure about this mix of notes but the rose plays nice with the other background characters and doesn't take over and blast you into orbit (a common issue with my body chemistry). The roasted pistachio is REALLY nice; I've been a pistachio girl since falling in love with that note in an Arcana blend at least a decade ago and have thoroughly enjoyed its dominance in the gourmand market as of late. This is a more sophisticated pistachio that works so beautifully with the amber and suede base. This altogether reminds me of a more fall-winter spin on my beloved Lattafa Noble Blush, not as fruity or fluffy but more warm, smooth and grounded. Big fan!

this is a beautifully constructed vanilla-rose fragrance with a creamy, gourmand heart. the true star of the show: a rich, velvety blend of Turkish rose, milk, and vanilla. Immediately I got Very Good Girl CH vibes, particularly in the rose-vanilla accord, but where Very Good Girl leans brighter and fruitier, She Was Here is smoother, more gourmand, and a little more intimate. This is gonna shine in the fall and winter!! But personally i’ll be wearing on these cooler summer days too🤎 The rose here is lush but not overly powdery, softened by lactonic notes and a subtle nuttiness from pistachio. The result is a fragrance that feels warm, enveloping, and sensual. the amber-suede base adds a plush, skin-like drydown that lingers beautifully.

Fragrance type: Rose gourmand. Pomegranate glimmers around a clean transparent rose, a milky softness nestles with smooth suede and lucent amber. I very faintly smell pistachio - it dances in and out. A very beautiful rose fragrance that feels very year-round & effortless but put together. It hits the mark right in between designer & niche. It’s not so deep, but the amber/suede adds a touch of depth, the rose isn’t so full and not overly sweet. This would be great for someone who doesn’t want anything too overwhelming. Would make a great signature fragrance. 8.5/10
