So Pretty

I took a chance on this blind buy, since I found the 1.7oz bottle of EDP for $4 BNIB. I had never heard of this brand before I found it, and I'm glad I decided to get it. I'm going back tomorrow to scoop up the other Kensie scent they had, because this stuff just smells that nice! I'm definitely not a kid anymore, but this middle aged chick thinks Kensie So Pretty is wonderful! It's sweet, but not a sugary sweet, headache-inducing type of bottled nightmare. No, this is sweet, like laying on your back in a field full of sweet clover, fat bumblebees buzzing lazily past, their legs coated with pollen as they defy gravity on their way to the next fluffy, white bloom bobbing and waving her head in the warm breeze. This is sweet, like driving along a deserted country road at night, windows rolled down, "Stand By Me" on the stereo while miles of quiet fields full of sweet alfalfa slip past, a summer storm gathering in the distance. I smell sunflowers, and a softness, but it's an elevated sort. I disagree with other reviews online who felt this can only be carried off by (or attractive to) school girls. Something about this reminds me of Tatiana, but I can't quite put my finger on it yet. It's not a dupe; just something about it brings my old Diane von Fustenburg love to mind. This is what I'd wear for an early evening movie, or a massage appointment. It's light, and non-aggressive, but it's sweet and makes me want to nuzzle my face into it to get another sniff. I'm 15 minutes into this test and it almost smells like lily of the valley or something similar in the floral profile. Somehow, there is a freshness behind the floral sweetness and it's just delicious. I think this would be a very safe selection for wearing to work.

Ultra-Light CARAMEL APPLE. I agree with many reviewers below, that this is a floral fruity gourmand. Having said that, the performance is ultra-light and requires several months of dark storage after first sprays to develop the true scent and performance. I've stored mine for six months, and the juice now looks like aged vanilla. The notes aren't wrong, per se, just missing something gourmand. There's also a pleasant doll's head vanilla note. This would be a perfect vanilla in hot, humid weather, or as a gift for a teen. It's super hot outside right now, so it's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 06/01/24: After storing for awhile longer, this has gotten a lot stronger. I'm getting something in the family of apple scents like Nina Nina Ricci although this isn't an exact dupe.

I got this in an ipsy pack and had to buy the full size bottle. This is a very sweet and flirty scent - it is just JUICY! I only wish it has more longevity and sillage and it would probably be my signature scent because I find the scent to be adorable. It is definitely a younger smelling perfume but personally I love it.

I got this in my Ipay bag and omg it is so pretty-yes a pun I know I’m cheesy! But this is absolutely beautiful! It’s like a mix of Ariana Grande SWeet like Candy (I think that’s what it is called) with some fruity juice in it. It reminds me of an Escada fragrance. I am very excited to buy a big big bottle of this!!!

Smells just like Charlotte Russe Refuge, just a little more grown up. I have both. It's a delight and takes me back to when I was a high school girl at the mall with my friends. A true nostalgic delight slightly twisted with the sandalwood note. Love it.
