Always & Forever

Don't you hate it when a perfume that has sentimental value to you gets discontinued? I first wore this lovely fragrance while sitting on a bench at the beach on the Gulf coast. It was a misty night and the ocean waves were gently flowing. Seagulls were flying overhead. There were beautiful aquatic plants surrounding me. The moon was just starting to make it's appearance and there were no crowds on the beach for once. My good friend was sitting next to me. That was one of the last times I saw him before I had to move out of state. It was a beautiful moment. This perfume fit with the occasional perfectly. I only have a tiny bit left and it always brings back memorie of that picturesque scene. It makes me miss the Gulf beaches. It makes me "homesick". The southern style gardenia and Lily of the Vally gave this a simplistic, romantic vibe. It's such a gorgeous fragrance with a gorgeous bottle. Please bring it back McClintock :'(

Always & Forever by Jessica McClintock is somehow very tropical because of the intense gardenia, fresh and illuminating, a scent from heaven indeed. it's a rich floral, but not headeach inducing, it's also watery and has a strong and a nice lily of the valley, refreshing and a bit soapy and creamy, it makes me feel like after a ozeanblue cream bath. wow! very uplifting and enchanting! i m not that much in florals, but this one had so much great reviews that i had to purchase blindly. this perfume is so rich and nice blendet but not heavy or cloying, it's perfect for really hot summer days. it's not sharp like other pure florals i know, it's very creamy and caressing. i would call it also elegant and sexy in a non offensive way. love it because i never smellt a scent like this, undescribable. and it lasts very long and it has a strong sillage. need to apply only a bit. thumbs very up.

This is a very very sweet, heady gardenia that almost registers as magnolia and honeysuckle on my skin. It has a little musk in the mix for the drydown. Pretty linear and very pretty. McClintock makes scents for brides. Well, the brides that used to be.

I love it and for sure it is my favorite perfume. It always reminds me of bunch of white flowers. Not so sweet but the pure feeling of lily of the valley, the spirit of floral. I love the ending smell, making me warm and feel peaceful.

I love perfume, collecting it and having to try whatever is in my path and this time it was Always and Forever. The name alone called out to me. Since Jess is the only other J. McClintock scent I have found to adore -I thought this one probably just had a pretty name. WRONG! this one is very pretty with beautiful florals that surround you for hours. I tried several scents on the day I found this - and had forgotten which was which. That evening - could I even remember what I sprayed on the tips of my fingers? Of all the scents of the day this one just took me away. Finally - it hit me -maybe it was - Always and Forever - in that beautiful bottle. I took a quick trip to quickly confirm this and make the purchase. What a relieve to bring this scent home and add it to my collection where it will be now and forever!!!
