Near Dusk

Everything what is already said is so much accurate :) She is really feminine, playful, a good deal, it reminds of her perfume- J, has some masculine moments because of the aquatic note but is all together a feminine perfume which is really wearable all year around. I imagine a woman in a purple dress.. walking on the beach at dusk.. the wind is playing with the dress and she is having her sandals in the hands and the feet in the sand... :) She is more a indor perfume, it doesnt habe the straight to warm you outdoor, but indoor.. u get a lot of notes, a hint of coconut, a blast of pepper..and teh beauty of the flowers in the dry down :) i was looking for a sharper perfume so this will be my everyday perfume :) The dry down still has this hint of aquatic salt breze-love it ! same as Jennifer.. beautiful, quite and still ... its not screaming like versace-bright crystal . The pepper is not too strong like CH 212; the dry down is warmer than J, with less vanilla which I prefer. It has also moments of Hermes-bleue and YSL -mon paris intensment.A perfume for every woman. I love this type of quiet beauty :) The purple colored bottle fits it so well . Some say it's similar to sun DI Goa.. I will let you know about that too..She is not screaming sweetness like all the other perfumes right now on the market and... is really mysterious.. unfolds herself slowly.. but perfectly...

This was a blind buy based on reviews and I am so pleasantly surprised! Out of all the celebrity fragrances I own, this one is my favorite. I have to agree that this one will likely be her best-selling fragrance. As others have mentioned, this smells like a high-end and not a celebrity fragrance. The notes are incredibly well done leading to a beautiful, sensual, and warm scent. I would have no qualms gifting this to anyone, as it appears to be the type of fragrance that could work with most all body chemistries. If not well done, orange, coconut, and vanilla notes can come off smelling very cheap, sickly-sweet, and synthetic. The coconut, amber, vanilla, and orange blossom in this fragrance are simply beautiful. The longevity is not that great, it doesn’t last a whole day without reapplying, so you may need to spray and re-spray your top. The sillage is also moderate unless you use a heavy hand with it. This is well suited for summer weather, though I can see myself wearing it throughout the year. There are very few perfumes in my arsenal that I've repurchased and this will be one of them.

I got a set of all her 3 fragrances (3 rollerballs, 0.3 oz each) for Xmas & I have to admit that Near Dusk is my favourite. I fancy the fact it's not flowery, very relaxed, low key, a bit sweet and salty as described. I am absolutely in love with it! Can't wait to wear it in summer. While some oceanic scents tend to smell clean or masculine, but not this one - it's warm and subtle, really well balanced. The name most definitely matches the idea behind it and the final product. I find J being a bit sharp on my skin, yet, I don't have this same problem with Near Dusk. The perfume in this small rollerball will be gone before the weather gets warm, but I plan on buying a 1 oz bottle at least this one, yet, I may get a full-size bottle of other 2 scents. I applied all three scents on different areas of my arms before going to bed and even though Near Dusk is the softest of the set, it was the only one I could still smell the morning after. Looks like JA improves the longevity of the product with each perfume. Very well done, Jennifer!

This is a gorgeous clean, incredibly soft, and ever so slightly sweet scent! I absolutely love this but if only it had a stronger projection, I think the cold weather here in Canada doesn't help. I don't get any florals in this fragrance, but mostly a musky coconut with a clean sheets kind of feeling. It's like if you went to the beach and then came home and laid on your bed with some sunscreen still on your skin, it's clean and inoffensive, something I'd wear at any time, any place. I've sprayed it only an hour ago and I have to really dig my nose into my arm to smell it so it's gonna be one of those "bathe myself in it before I'm out the door" fragrances. It's not like Beach Walk beachy, but a softer version with a tiiiny hint of aquatic notes. I LOVE Versace Crystal Noir but the coconut disappears on my skin so I'm hoping to layer this and see how it goes! I'll update in warmer months!

I recently ordered a roller-ball of Near Dusk from Kohl's online - finally it was showing up on their website. The opening feels similar to me as "J" and yet there is more here too. I like the opening sea salt and coconutty vibe a lot. I pick up the florals here but not individually or strongly, I just know that they are there. This perfume is stronger than JA and J, and yet it's not a heavy scent, either. I think the name is perfect because to me this is what I would smell like after a day at the beach, a nice shower and a soft beachy vibe perfume to finish off my evening. This is definitely wearable by day, too. I have been wearing this in the evenings and I do note that I can still softly smell it in the morning when I wake up. I really love this perfume!
