TRULYdazzling

After I read Fragrantica user "charleybea"'s comments below (she wrote Truly Dazzling reminded her of Ralph Lauren's Polo Sport. I was in love with that perfume back in the 90s, it was then discontinued. Why oh why?!) I got this perfume from ebay, it was a blind buy but turned out to be a good one. Well, Truly Dazzling is like a mixture of RL Polo Sport, Cacharel Eau d'Eden (which was discontinued also, and again, I can't think of why!) and a dash of Ralph by Ralph Lauren, which is a fruity-sweet scent. Truly Dazzling is definitely not a sweet one, it is on the aquatic side. Worked for me really well, it's one of the perfumes that make you just happy.

This fragrance smells very clean, delicate, feminine, refreshing, and perfect for hot summer days. Clear, not powdery or sharp. No citrus. It's a light, cool salty ocean breeze that carries a watery, softly sweet floral mist into the room. It hovers around you, slowly sinking into skin and fabrics. Easily noticeable for about 3 hours on my skin. Stays on fabrics until you wash it out. Non offensive, office safe. Pretty choice any time you want a clean, fresh, feminine, pleasing, calming ocean scent. I love it ! It's a much more affordable , sweeter, more feminine dupe of Hermes Eau Des Merveilles Bleue.

I have a travel size of this. It's VERY refreshing, sunny, and sparkling without being citrusy. Could be worn by any age. IMO the opening of TrulyDazzling is what you'd get if Grass by Gap and Acqua di Gioia had a baby. After a few minutes it morphs into something similar to Versace Bright Crystal Absolu with some marine and salt notes. I own these 3 fragrances already so I won't be needing a full size bottle of TrulyDazzling. This fragrance is great, give it a try!

This is my favorite fragrance of all time, which is a tad bit embarrassing because I don't usually consider Kate Spade as a notorious perfume house. However, I adore aquatics and this is so wearable without feeling immature. It's a distant cousin to Cool Water by Davidoff. This has since been discontinued, but I would love to own another bottle and would pay a lot of money for it. I have not found anything even remotely similar.

I wasn t expecting to find my favourite smell at Kate Spade s perfumery. I was looking for a replacement for Aqua di Gioia. It was love at first sniff. If you like fresh perfumes and you don t want to offend people with it , this is the one.
