Magnolia Bliss

Does it smell like Magnolia? No. But it does smell intriguing, a little sharp, and cool/uncommon in the way that other peony and freesia scents often don't. To me, this is the perfect scent to wear out to the slightly overpriced coffee shop while you get some work done, or at least try to, but the important part is that you look cute and smell excellent. I think of this as a kind of smarty-pants, black turtleneck and thick glasses scent. Not date night, and not "universal" enough to be appropriate for close quarters office wear, but I come back to it again and again and find it's the closest frag I have to a signature scent. Having worn it for a while now, and repurchased, I think what I really love about this scent is that for me it represents the best qualities of JHAG ambroxan- strength and a little sharpness, (to the point that the very first few minutes after application are a bit much) but that after dry-down there's a real magnetic quality that the entire scent takes on. Unlike superdose, which is too much ambrox and comes off as screechy, and NAP which is far too little, I find that Magnolia Bliss is just enough. I will say that the base is warmed from what would be icy to just cool a bit by musk and tonka.

Anastasia Steele, no longer a virgin. In her Audi A3, the smell of her new car, first edition books and a new life... That's what comes into mind with this perfume. The night Christian took her for the first time on his helicopter. I can imagine this is exactly what she smelled like that night. With Ellie Goulding's Love me like you do playing in the background. It's fresh and floral but somewhat milky. I tried this perfume on a day when my boyfriend picked me up after he got out of work. I had to get his first impression. You know, the one where you get in the vehicle and they tell you if you smell good or not. Well, he said I smelled delicious, like the night we met. When he said that it automatically took me back to that exact moment. I can't recall what perfume I was wearing that night but now I'm eager to know what it was. Unfortunately I can't remember so all I can do for now is look for perfumes with similar notes. P.S. Those who say this perfume is boring and doesn't last, can't be trusted. It lasted all day on me. One spray. The dry down is still amazing. Creamy, like a bathtub filled with flowers and milk. I wore it alone. It's a soft yet potent perfume. BISOUS

I got an honestly very decently sized pen spray free with my full size Not A Perfume and I wore her all summer. She’s not complicated, but there’s something deeply nostalgic about her. On me she’s like sipping fruit punch made with ginger ale. Barefoot. Letting the sun warm your face. Your Spotify is on shuffle and something by Of Monsters and Men or The Lumineers is playing. She’s quirky, she’s twee. This would have been the most popular perfume if it came out in 2015, and I would have worn it to high school every day. To me, this is a great perfume for summertime daily wear. A sundress, a rosy lip stain and a crown braid. Shoshanna from “Girls” comes to mind, or anyone Zooey Deschanel has ever played. Jelly sandals. ModCloth. Flower crowns. Frozen lemonade. Biting into a ripe peach. Basket bags. I don’t know that I’ll repurchase but I really did like her a lot.

I think it ́s hard to find fruity florals with good sillage, that lasts all day without being overly sweet and heady, but this one has a great sillage with just a few sprays. It makes me more curious about the other JHAG scents. The nectarine is prominent in the beginning and the white flowers smell fabric softener. Dry down stays clean and shower fresh - a good smelling shampoo. I really like this one. Someone said the green note is bothering but I wouldn ́t detect it if I hadn ́t read this, and the green doesn ́t stay very long. A hint of cut grass comes through after 30 minutes and disappears. I don ́t agree it ́s sour, blends well with my skin. This is a summer freshy for me and a compliment getter. I was surprised I like this one because of the ambroxan.

I am currently obssessed with this perfume. I totally expected to like different scents from the discovery set but this was the clear winner for me. Initial spray is very strong and bright. It's not super heavy on the florals for me. I actually get bright juicy citrus fruits at the front. The musk comes through in about an hour and mixes beautifully with the light floral and juciness of the fruits. At the base I sometimes get notes of incense. To me this is an amazing complex scent with some dark edginess mixed in. I like to layer it with JHAG Not A Perfume and it works so well. I loved the tester so much i bought a whole bottle. Also longevity is VERY good. I'm excited to see how this perfoms in the upcoming heat and humidity of New England this summer.

huge fan of this one. i definitely get the shampoo/fresh out of the shower scent but i actually enjoy that about this fragrance. on me it pulls very peach/nectarine and sweet citrusy, all things i typically i reach for. the main critique i’ve found is that it’s very youthful and simple. i think that this is true, but i’m 18 so i guess the youthfulness is a plus for me. the simplicity of it is also a plus for me because although it lacks depth it takes really well to layering. i typically will layer it with the cocopeach scented body products from VS because they smell similar but this perfume lasts so much longer on my skin. when i want to tone down the sweetness or want it to lean more mature i use it in combination with glossier you.

This smells like getting your hair washed at the salon with a super fresh nectarine shampoo. The nectarine lasts on my skin for hours. The magnolia is barely there but I don’t mind because this is glorious! Everything piece of clothing that I spritz this on smells like it was washed in some $80 boutique laundry detergent. (Just learned JHAG actually does make laundry detergent?!) The sillage and projection are moderate to strong for the first couple hours, after that it’s soft but still there. Longevity is great. I can smell it on my shirt from 2 days ago. It layers so nicely with other perfumes. Right now I love it with Mohra Silky Rose by Lattafa. If you love fruity fresh shampoo scents, Magnolia Bliss is a must-try.

I am glad I didn’t pay attention to the negative reviews and bought this fragrance. Honestly I am in LOVE. One important thing about any fragrances with synthetic ingredients is that you have to try them on the skin. Every skin PH and type reacts differently to chemicals. On me, it’s not only a beautiful fruity flower perfume but lasts until I shower. Yes it does have shampoo vibes and yes, the nectarine note here is VERY similar to the one in Jo Malone’s Nectarine Blossom and Honey. The difference is in Magnolia Bliss we have anbroxan and musk bringing a certain light /airy sensation and Bergamot provides some freshness. I adore this, it lasts forever on me and will be perfect for hot Summer days. @deepgreenbeauty

Magnolia is always gonna give a little bit of grandma but this is the most fun bright fruity and just quintessentially juliette take on that. As per usual for jhag the first time I smelled this at a counter I was legitimately blown away by how beautiful it is and just instantly sold on it 😂😍 obviously the majority are voting this for spring and summer but I am about to wear this into winter layered with some slightly more obvious seasonal choices and am confident it makes sense 😂 so even if magnolia isn't 100% your vibe I'm sure it'll layer beautifully, certainly with their other fragrances, or something you already enjoy to balance the old school scent profile❤️

I’m not sure why JHAG always gives off a screechy opening on me. This is no exception. It finally grew on me and now we are into fall, go figure 🤷♀️. I am really loving this at the moment. To me it’s a bergamot with a hint of magnolia, which right now is really to my liking. Unfortunately JHAG doesn’t last on my skin, it sticks out in the beginning and then it does a close to skin scent. Funny, I remember when JHAG was on the niche realm of fragrances and now it’s sold at a popular cosmetic store. I am liking this at the moment and I will wear this till the snow starts falling here in NY Highly recommended 8/10. The longevity is not that great about 2 hours!

My favorite summer perfume. Fruity, fresh, bright, and floral -- not overly sweet, but exudes a very realistic and fragrant flower bouquet/fresh fruit stand plums type vibe. It's a bit shampoo-y but not enough to mistake it for one. On me, the top and middle notes linger for hours, and sometimes days. I'm not someone who's always looking for a beast mode frag, but sometimes the scent will stay on my clothes even after the day is up. I got this in sample form and used every little drop from the vial. When I couldn't get any more out, I finally ordered the actual thing the next day!

This one really surprised me. With a name like Magnolia Bliss, and based on the notes, I expected heavy, rich florals. I actually don’t get any florals from this at all. The initial spray is extremely green and fresh; I get a bright burst of petitgrain and ginger. After about 10-15 minutes, the plum begins to emerge: slightly sweet, slightly spicy, slightly tart. Dry down is ultimately a grassy, plummy blend I”m growing to love. While I wouldn’t call this a favorite, I could see that changing over time as I’ve liked it more and more with each test.

I grew up using fruity, flowery body mists and am now looking for the same notes but cleaner, more pure, and this is definitely along those lines. I love it sometimes, other times it can be a bit too tart. I've had pleasant experiences with it on the east coast of the US, but it's interesting that in Los Angeles, it smelled completely different. It actually smelled more masculine and botanical there, somehow, so it would seem that it can morph in different settings for some reason. It smells great in hot, humid weather though :)

This is one of my favorite perfumes right now. Magnolia Bliss is so juicy and floral, yet that musky base note gives it just the right amount of maturity. The magnolia flower is a bit of an after thought, because the nectarine is so potent and I agree that it smells soapy, like freshly shampooed hair. Personally, I never get tired of it but I probably wouldn't wear this in an office. It's definitely an outside in the sunshine kind of perfume.

This smells like the 90’s, I love it just for that reason. Takes me back to my teenage years where everything was much simpler ❤️ I tested it with 0 expectations, and I've been pleasantly surprised, especially with the drydown. It's certainly not a complicated, extremely "niche" or artisan fragrance. It's an easygoing one, one when you just want to smell good, clean and happy. This to me is 1997-2001 in a bottle.😄🥰

Feminine, luxurious, elegant. Just peachy (or nectarine-y) in this case. Fruit forward accentuated by the crisp and slight burn of citrus and ambroxan. Since this is so fruity, I barely smell the white florals but they are more apparent in the dry down, combining with the musk to create a soft, powdered sugar fruit cocktail on your skin after a few hours. Ambroxan keeps the cocktail fresh, classy, and sprightly.

I wasn't going to leave a review until reading the ones below, I felt the need to be the odd man out and say I absolutely love this fragrance, it's one of my favorite and I have been having a really difficult time finding 1 that I could call my favorite. Nice bold scent that I can actually smell on myself when I'm wearing it, that is difficult for me to find. I highly recommend it and I love it

The opening is more musky and sexy which I absolutely loved, unfortunately the dry down loses that spark and you're left with a regular citrusy floral. If this perfume was a drink it would be an Arnold Palmer lol. Still, as someone who is not a fan of florals, citrus, or most "fresh" scents I actually quite like this one, it's the closest thing to a night-time citrus I've ever smelled.

It smells clean and pretty in a crowd pleasing way. The notes I smell the most strongly are sweet juicy nectarine and fresh peony blossoms. It’s not the type of scent profile I would usually reach for on my own, but I was gifted this for Christmas and it’s delightful. It smells like a clean, feminine shampoo in the best way. For me, it will be an easy reach in the spring.

The nectarine opening is juicy and fresh, and suddenly you're hit with citrus in the face. The citrus is a little unexpected, but it's smells amazing. Really good citrus + floral fragrance, perfect for spring and summer. I do wish that the nectarine lasted longer just because it smelled so good, but nonetheless a great fragrance.

The next day scent is much more pleasant and beautiful than the first spray. I love this perfume and keep having a lot of compliments from other people smelling Magnolia Bliss on me even a day after putting it on on a clean skin.

Soapy, floral, and orange/citrusy. This is the best clean-girl/office/work scent. It gets me lots of compliments and has quickly become my at-work signature scent.

Wow. Stunning scent. Fresh, fruity, and floral. Not overpowering at all. The nectarine note is delicious. Reminds me of summer.

This one worked well on me, but maybe I got a lucky bottle. Smells just like those peach ring candies.

Smells so fresh and juicy on me, like eating a peach on a warm summer evening

I love this perfume, smells great. Unfortunately isn't long lasting....

Fresh, floral, citrusy, bright, fruity, sweet, refreshing, green, clean, musky, powdery, warm, pleasant On me this opens with a bright citrusy burst of tart lemon and fresh bergamot, a whisper of aromatic petitgrain, and a hint of softly spicy and warm ginger. Then the sweet and fruity nectarine, the somewhat waxy and lemony scent of magnolia, fresh and clean freesia, velvety and rich peony, and the clean and green smelling scent of the greengage begin to intertwine with the top notes. The further into the dry down it gets the more the base notes come into play, and add a lovely warm and musky side to the overall scent. The soft powdery musk, and warm sensual vanilla become more prominent, and are enhanced by the warmth of the tonka bean. I hate to say it, but this one was a little bit disappointing to me. It’s not that it smells bad, because overall it is a pleasant scent, but it’s not really what I was hoping for. I really enjoy the scent of magnolias, that fresh, slightly waxy, and lemony white floral scent they have. With a name like Magnolia Bliss you would think that this fragrance would be centered around magnolia, but that’s not really the case here, because unfortunately the magnolia is not the star. It’s more of your quintessential fresh and clean girl scent of fruity florals, but with a warmer musky base. I think this is somewhat similar to Clean Reserve H2Eau Nectarine Petal. It also reminds me a little bit of Burberry Brit Sheer, probably because of the freshness and the peony note. If you’re looking for some nice magnolia scents I would recommend VS Bare Magnolia, JPG La Belle Flower Edition, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia, Derek Lam 10 Crosby Looking Glass, B&BW Magnolia Charm, B&BW Golden Magnolia Sun For reference, I do have a couple JHAG fragrances that I absolutely love... Lust For Sun and Vanilla Vibes. I also have Not A Perfume which is nice, and a mini Juliette which just really isn’t my taste. For further reference some of my favorite florals include Coach Love (originally 2012 version), Coach Legacy (original round bottle), Coach Coach, Coach Poppy, Coach Poppy Blossom, Coach Poppy Wild Flower, Flowerbomb, Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid, Flowerbomb Nectar, Flowerbomb Tiger Lily, D&G The One, D&G The One Desire, Chloe Love Story, Chloe EDP, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, JPG Classique, JPG Classique X, JPG Classique La Belle Flower Edition, VS Pink (original), VS Bare Magnolia, SDJ 59, SDJ 76, B&BW Almond Blossom, B&BW Magnolia Charm, B&BW Magnolia Sun, B&BW Fresh Vanilla Blossoms I get really good performance with Magnolia Bliss. The longevity is nice, I get about 6-8 hours before I feel like it needs a touch up. The projection is decent, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

This smells like That '70s Show reruns and a Garnier Fructis hairspray commercial had a baby. And that baby is Donna Pinciotti: redhead, barefoot, sunburnt, and making out in the back of a Vista Cruiser to Bob Seger’s "Night Moves". Good vibes. It’s that cute-but-kinky, teenage-delinquent, laid-back-girl-next-door energy. Sweet. Simplistic. Retro. Now the notes: The pyramid says magnolia, citrus, ginger, peach, and a whole garden party of other fancypants ingredients... But let’s be real: this is just fruit compote with a hairspray finish. Magnolia was cast as the lead, but she pulled a diva stunt, made a brief cameo, and evaporated on the spot. Then there’s plum. I swear I can smell plum, but it’s nowhere in the notes. Maybe it’s greengage? I wouldn’t know. I was too busy minoring in chaos and debauchery to study plums. Or am I just mad about it? Plum? Show yourself. The ambroxan in here is giving me flashbacks to every Batiste dry shampoo, Aussie hairspray, Amika or Bumble & Bumble (if you squint), and those whatever-named fruity dryer sheets from Dollar Tree. The whole thing lasts about as long as the "volume" on a hairspray can: big at first, flat by noon. So here’s a question for the scent-lovers: what’s so "clean" about smelling like every other fruity-floral, synthetic hair-volumizing, static-control spray? 🤔 Look, it’s not bad at all. It's tart. It's tangy. Bit spicy, bit trashy. Light as hell. Perfect for summer. It’s fun. It’s very "high school but make it $150." But here’s the ugly little truth: This could easily pass for some Zara, Stradivarius, or Yves Rocher flanker. For a scent with that many notes, it’s indecently simple. Magnolia Bliss? More like Magnolia Missed. Would I pay full price? Absolutely not. Buy it at 1/10th the price? Still no. Take it for free? Yeah, alright, fine, but only if they throw in snacks and swear never to call it niche again. JHAG? Anyone? I’ll wait. At least the bottle’s cute. I’d totally display it. Even if it’s just ✨fruity air✨ inside. EDIT: Just passed by a Jo Malone counter... and yeah, Nectarine Blossom & Honey is basically the same, minus the ambroxan. But Juliette’s still brighter, greener, and livelier. Way more fun, if you ask me. ༺🍑༻/5 — peachy keen, dollar-store queen. It’s giving: mall. It’s charging: Paris. It’s worth: a free sample.

OPENING - DRY DOWN Very straight forward magnolia. This is floral with a touch of candy-like sweetness which I'm sure comes from the nectarine. There's something green that sort of peeks through but the scent never loses the lightness and sweet notes of plums and florals. PERFORMANCE/COMPLIMENTS Although it starts very present, it become a soft fragrance. Not a skin scent, but definitely something only people who come close will be able to pick up. For a light magnolia fragrance, this surprisingly lasts. I do think it can evaporate easily if you're spending a lot of time in the sun though. REMINISCENT OF Wearing this I am taken back to the 2010s. The time when PINK body mists were pink and chunky, cubed rectangles with bright colored caps. Triangle bikins were all the race, chunky platforms were also everywhere. Calvin Harris used to play on the radio constantly, and youtube beauty gurus were popular! I know this is inspired by the Bohemian era of the 60s, but since I didn't live the 60s, the 2010s was my boho era. OCCASIONS/SEASONS This feels like a good work scent if you're maybe a teacher, or work in a place where beauty services are offered. It feels like something you'd also wear on daytime activities with the girls. I think if I were to add this into my collection, I'd be reaching for it most during warmer spring days and summer especially. HUBBY APPROVED? [This is the take of a person who does not collect, rarely wears fragrance, and is very sensitive to strong fragrances.] "I smell flowers. It's okay, im not a fan." FINAL THOUGHTS I do like magnolia fragrances and this IS good, yet I am unsure of whether I would reach for this or not. It's good, even a little addicting to sniff, however it borders a line of candy sweet that I typically stay away from. It's young, playful, and something that seems like you'd see as "editor's pick" in Seventeen magazine pre 2018. Candy like florals are not my faves, but credit where credit is due. This is still a very well done fragrance, something that I think could be an easy reach for someone who enjoys this profile.

Beautiful, soft, and fresh fruity floral! Florals don’t tend to be fragrances that I gravitate towards too often, although I do like Solar florals, especially in the summer, and if they have a beachy vibe. I’m also a big fan of sweet gourmands. This fragrance stood out to me though when I had received a sample of it in an order. So, I finally decided to buy myself a bottle. I do love the smell of magnolia, sweet and fresh, but it’s not overly prominent here like the name implies. It’s more fruity than I had expected. It warms up a little as it dries down with notes of amber and musk. There’s also a bit of tartness from the plum note. It all comes together nicely to create a softly sweet and fresh fruity floral fragrance. For me It does bring to mind the fresh, clean, floral, and green of spring. Even though I bought this in September I know I’ll be reaching for this one a lot during the spring and summer! The longevity and silage are great! I can smell this on me all day long and it can be smelled within arm’s length. For reference, a few of my favorite floral fragrances are: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb, Ruby Orchid, Nectar, Midnight, Coach Love, Chloe, and Chloe Love Story!

Теплый, мягкий, цветочный, приятный аромат не понятно каких цветов с отблеском спирта и натуральной сладости. Чувствуется "офицальность", парфюм ниразу не унисекс как написано, он исключительно женский. Для прогулок не совсем уместный на мой взгляд, совершенно точно как минимум зимой, если бы все-таки можно было бы охарактеризовать аромат по временам года это была бы осень, осенью разве что наверное будет нормально с ним на улице, идеально всего я думаю он вписывается для работы в офисах всяких типа сотовой связи, банков и тд. По заявлению, аромат имеет следующие ноты: Top notes are Lemon, Bergamot, Petitgrain and Ginger; Middle notes are Nectarine, Magnolia, Freesia, Peony and Greengage; Base notes are Musk, Ambroxan, Vanilla and Tonka Bean. Узнав состав и пытаясь найти эти ноты в аромате у меня почти ничего не получилось, может показаться, что сладость идет от лимона, нектарин или ванили но нет, у них другой оттенок сладости, из верхних нот ощущаю только кожуру лимона да и то, пришлось заставить себя думать что там есть лимон и искать его в аромате. На девушке в рабочей обстановке будет чувствоваться просто великолепно.

I really love everything I’ve gotten from JHAG. This house definitely has a unique style and it really pulls me in. I got a 5ml travel spray of Magnolia Bliss, uncertain of how I’d feel about it. The opening is very clean, almost sharp citrus, which I don’t care for. It’s definitely the lemon; I’m just not a fan of lemon notes. On my skin, it goes away quickly and transitions to the juicy but soft floral heart. The nectarine doesn’t stay for long but I think it would make this a bit juvenile if it did. To my nose, the dry down is very soft and comforting musk with very gentle touches of vanilla. I also still get some floral notes. It is very similar to Lili Fantasy for me in the way that this scent is just so comforting. I don’t know what it is about the both of them but they both evoke feelings of comfort, safety and warmth. I really like this one, but I think I like Lili Fantasy more. I’ll be ordering full bottles of both; probably only a 1.7 of this one. This one is beautiful though! I only dislike the lemony citrus opening.

You know that feeling when you use a really high end hair product and you just want to keep swinging your hair around so you can catch a whiff of it? That is this perfume in a bottle. It’s shampoo-esque in the best way possible; it smells intentionally clean, if that makes sense. It opens with a sweet vanilla while also being so incredibly fresh and floral; the lemon and bergamot are pronounced and give it a bright, zesty edge.It has this immediate bubbly energy that is very uplifting. On the first dry down, I get a dry floral mixed with a juicy nectarine fragrance. It’s ever so slightly honeyed and tart, and you get a distinct waxy element as well. There’s a slight fizzy spiciness at the heart, which I assume comes from the freesia and the ginger; it gives the whole scent a sparkling, carbonated quality. As it finally settles into the warm dry down, it mellows into a clean, soft base of ambroxan and white musk. It retains that shampoo like quality throughout that others mentioned, but I rather enjoy that.

Pretty, fresh floral fragrance that would be nice for spring. It’s honestly not a very interesting perfume, it’s just exactly what you see on the tin, but I find myself reaching for it all the time. I think the musk and amber notes are so nice here and set it apart somewhat from my other florals. I layer it with Not A Perfume by JHAG for a little extra musk. I was surprised to see how many people found it cloying. I’m really sensitive to sweet fragrances but I only picked up on some light citrus notes, nothing too over the top at all. Exactly the right amount of sillage for this kind of scent. I could smell it all day, but it wasn’t aggressive or nauseating. Not sure if I love it enough to pay for a full bottle, but it is lovely. EDIT: A few months later and I did end up buying a full bottle. The fragrance grew on me over time, and it's very nice in the warmer months. I wear it often. I also wanted to add that the performance is LEAGUES better than any other JHAG fragrance I've tried.

Starts off with a punch of nectarine and a mix of musk and what appears to be ambroxan. The nectarine here isn’t super sweet, definitely not candy-like, just fresh and fruity. After about 5min I can most definitely smell greengage (a very sour fruit I was obsessed with growing up). The dry down still has that clean musky showery quality to it, but it gets a little sour. It’s almost as if the nectarine becomes more and more unripe as time goes by. However, I think that very same acidity prevents it from going into the body spray/hand wash territory. Overall, I like it. I’m generally into fresh out of the shower scents and this is washed hair in a bottle (and therefore, probably not everyone’s cup of tea). I just wish it would project more as it pretty much stays a skin scent after the first hour. Also, please keep in mind that I’m testing this in the cold dry weather. This is a scent that’s definitely meant for hot & humid summers.

I got this in the sampler set from JHAG, and really really liked it. But I also knew that my mom - who's really sensitive to perfumes and scents, and thus rather picky - would absolutely love it. She tried my tester, and I eventually bought her the full bottle. It's such a good perfume. On me it's a fruity, slightly tangy nectarine floral, with some softness in the dry down. On my mom, it's this beautiful, soft, creamy and delicious nectarine scent. I thought I'd regret giving it up and giving it to her, but it's just better with her skin chemistry. The ginger is not really noticable, which is a huge plus for me, as I usually really dislike ginger.

I have a tester of this and saved it untill the magnolia in front of my office was in bloom, so i could sit inside and see it and enjoy the smell at the same time.. for science i cut one of the flowers to compare and it actually does resemble a magnolia in bloom. the perfume is offcourse much sweeter and amped up by other things, but the are unmistakebly simmilar.. I wont be wearing this perfume again because im not that big on florals but i really do enjoy smelling like my view today

Very seductive and sapphic...a late night rendezvous in a velvet dress. The citrus takes over at first, then settles into the smooth musk and florals. I only need a small amount since the smell is more "obnoxious". This is a scent for the more feral, fertile, and confident days of being a woman, and those are the days it smells amazing. On a regular day, it can smell like a $1 spray from 2006. The right mood will transform the fragrance into something more than that first impression.

Why does it get so much hate? Just because it smells like shampoo? While we have numerous offensive white flower explosions and perfumes smelling like unwashed body on the market I don't get it. This one is definitely delicate and clean smelling, very feminine leaning and versatile. It's clean but not sharp at all. Flowers and fruits are very well balanced. I am not picking grandma vibes and I can't see why people say it's dated. Something I'd reach for a lot during summer.

To me, this smells like an "adult" perfume: not "mature," but floral, classy and professional and adjacent to a more "mature" scent that would give me a headache. It feels both warm and approachable and clean and sparkling, so I imagine someone like a beautiful schoolteacher in a dress wearing this. It's not for me, but it is a clean, perfume-y floral that I can tolerate and maybe appreciate on someone else because of the juicy and slightly herbal aspect.

I thought I was going to hate this scent and I was just wrong. I've learned that if everyone hates it, I should try it. If they love it, it probably smells okish and doesn't last. So that said, this scent is fresh, fruity and floral with a powdery note that smooths the fragrance out giving it a silky skin finish. It starts out very powerful and really does dry down to a soft pretty springy/summery scent. Like freshly washed hair blowing in the breeze.

I had a sample of this from their discovery. I honestly don't understand the hate on this fragrance. It smells like a squeaky clean nectarine. I understand the fancy shampoo comparison, it gives shampoo and clean in the best fresh and fruity way. It's got the opening of citrus that disappears after an hour or so and it develops into a bright nectarine with a background of white florals. I'd definitely consider getting the full size for next summer!

Fresh, floral, citrus and safe. I wish the magnolia was a little more present but it’s still a nice friendly office scent for when you don’t want to offend others. The citrus is more noticeable but that’s nice for the summer and nice to balance the floral. On brand JHAG musky dry down. Personally not my vibe and I would not spend money on it but there’s really nothing to complain about, other than it’s simply...forgettable.

This is definitely in the same vein as nectarine blossom and honey, but take out the sharp, photorealistic green note, and replace it with some amped up florals and more sweetness. I like this one a lot! But between the two fragrances, I prefer Jo Malone's take. If you liked nectarine blossom and honey, but didn't appreciate the green notes as much as my nose does, this might be your jam. Perfect for spring :)

This is definitely one of the better JHAG perfumes. The ginger note really carries when I wear this fragrance which I wasnt sure about at first but I wore this to my aunts baby shower a few years ago and I felt like an eclectic 90's girl. It lingered in a way that was grounding and didnt give me a headache. Some people might find this sour or soapy, I like it but probably wouldn't invest in a full bottle.

I loveee this!!! Opens up with a fresh flower blast along citrus, clean and casual. Received a sample of this whit a purchase and decided to try it out, imagine your best smelling shampoo as perfume, floral, fresh, a bit citrus and yummy fruit. The opening will like you but then wait for the dry-down, beautiful fruits with white flowers that offer a crisp sparkling aroma for your day!

one of my favourite 'clean' scents! not soapy, not stingy but delicate and fresh with a hint of feminine sweetness. not interested in getting this myself but I love the occasional spritz from my friend's bottle. 'just a girl out for the day, getting groceries, running errands' vibes. could probably work in an office setting too, very inoffensive in my opinion.

Received a sample. It reminds me of Oui from Juice Couture. I get Peony and ginger right off the bat. It definitely take you back to early 00’s bath and body works/ Victoria Secret. This smells like a body spray or a preteen sweet shampoo. I really like it. I may buy it for the summer. Would recommend for daily wear in warm months out in the sun.

On my skin, it is long lasting perfume. I wear it around 10 am, and i still can smell it 9 hours later! And then fade slowly. I don't have similar scent profile. So.. this is quite different. Smell really feminine and flowery. For me its all year round perfume and has potential as signature scent (if I don't have more than 100 perfumes)

First I did not like the perfume cause it felt like an air freshener and I still find it a little bit boring. However, it is pretty strong and I can smell it on me after 3 hours of wearing it. I live in a pretty hot place and this is the only summer perfume that lasts so long, it's not overwhelming and doesn't give me a headache
