Velocity

Funny, on me it smells just like my Tommy Freedom for Her. I was so relieved that I found a "new" source of a favorite scent,that will not break the bank. People with latex sensitivities are also sensitive to bananas--perhaps that is the problem some people are having with this formulation? It is heavy, then scent is overpowering as a spray, but the roll-on is much easier to contain. If you loved Freedom, try a roll on of Velocity.

I had used this in like 9th grade a friend had it for after gym class and I loved it, so I finally this week got my very own bottle, and it is every bit as fantastic as I remember! It is very citrus fruity, clean and rich smelling! it is very springy type, for daytime!! In my opinion this is a definite must have for spring/summer! and for the price, you cannot beat it!!

I bought this again after 10 years from the first time I had it as a gift. I loved it then and love it now. It is fresh, citrusy, floral, happy and gives me energy. I would stay with the nose in the bottle all day if I could! I don't smell any banana, just freshness and flowers.

Oh this was my first perfume as a girl. I loved it, it made me feel like a grown up modern woman. Still would love to smell it again.

I love this fragrance. It's light, fun and flirty. As every fragrance I love, I stocked up just "in case".

Here is my history with this perfume. I bought it blind off of Ebay. I was so put off by the strong overly ripened banana note that I did not even want to try it on. Between baking banana bread for school bakes sales every other week (so it seemed) and spooning mashed bananas into the moving target in the high chair, I had enough with bananas already! I tried to pass it off to friends but nobody wants a perfume that comes with a warning. So up on the shelf it went. My baby girl is long out of the high chair. The world around is the target now. How she loves to explore! And she is very good at moving things and climbing on them to get what is out of reach. How appropriate that my little monkey found the bananas. She sprayed it before I could take it away. Really, not so bad as an air freshener at least. There was a bamboo note that emerged that was ...interesting. Hmmm. Ok,maybe it deserves a second chance, I thought. So I am wearing it now and...I don't hate it. With summer approaching so many tropical scents are coming out. This one is tropical without being cliche. No coconuts,pineapple or margaritas with little umbrellas here. Banana with fresh cut bamboo. Unusual. I don't bake during the hot summer and everyone is on solids. I may learn to really like it.

If you loved Velocity, as I did (and do!), I highly recommend giving Rochas Muse a try. Muse is not a dupe for Velocity, but they share notes and have a very similar overall "vibe." Tropical and fresh. The banana leaf is absolutely the key in making both scents so interesting. Normally I hate "sporty" scents, but I have always enjoyed Velocity. I just ordered another lipgloss/perfume combo wand from the year of my original, it must be 20 years old. I hope it's still fresh; the original roller ball I have still smells pretty good. Being in my dark makeup case all these years has probably saved the 1ml that's hanging on!

Nice alternative for people who don't like floral scents. It used to be my favorite scent when I was in middle school, but even now I still use it sometimes. It's very refreshing/energizing.

mild like banana orange smoothie very close to skin smoother than most citrus to me light and fresh soft and a bit sweet very wearable

Smells sporty like a men’s bar soap. It’s not for me.

I remember when Mary Kay introduced this in the early 2000's, it was supposed to be a younger scent marketed at the 16 to 18 age group. More teeny bopper than young sophisticated woman. I can't say I like the scent at all, it's HORRIBLE. It's one of those scents that a lot of ladies wear that are old enough to know better, yet are determined to wear it anyway. The smell is sharp, cloying, and lasts too long. Supposedly it has notes of madarin and bannana in it, but all I detect is this sweet, cloying, sharpness that gives me a migraine.

I do not like this scent, I received this as a gift and had to give it away... And I would never give one of my perfumes away..... I don't like the smell; and the bottle is supposed to look "cool" this was disappointing, thanks to this perfume I have no desire to smell any other perfume that comes from the Mary Kay brand.

I had a sample of this when I was like 14. I don't remember liking it. It was sharp, very sporty and just weird to me. One of those clean scents that was so trendy in the late 90s-early 2000s. I did keep it in my vanity drawer though. I'm curious to smell this again just to know what kind of memories it would bring up.

absolutely horrible....the banana sweetness conquers your nose then the following citrus attacks every part of olfactory senses.. very offensive little fragrance. not even good as a room spray.

I feel like this is trying to be like Clinique's Happy and falls short. It was too sporty for me. Citrus is one of my favorite scents and I this left much to be desired.

much too powdery for me. smells like grandma, and not the good kind, the rude kind

Such a rubbish, who dares to to compare it to Clinique Happy?

Yuck! Hideous, like Happy by Clinique, but more nauseating. (floral ickness) I wanted to drop kick this into the trash can. But because someone might like it, it will be given to charity. Interesting bottle though.

Sharp, youthful, sporty, sweet, bananay, unique, and I daresay, elegant! When I first got this, I didn't even bother using it because it smelled so sharp and green in the bottle. However, upon recently giving it another chance, I noticed that it works very well with my skin. Sharpness gone, comes an exotic almost floral fruity scent that gently stays close to the skin, I cannot stop sniffing my wrist! Top Notes: -Banana Flowera -Green Jungle Orchid -Tart Mangosteen Purple Fruit Heart Notes: -Clementine -White Azalea Petals -Aromadendron Base Notes: -Balsawood Tree Blossoms

I don’t find this as sharp as other posters below. It reminds me a lot of Clinique Happy, but I think Velocity might be better. The clementine is pronounced and bright, but the rhododendron/orchid soften it a bit. Regrettably, I don’t get any banana. It lasts a bit too long for me, but it’s cheap and cheerful.
