BCBG Max Azria Bon Chic

I love these bottles, but keep them in a box. Once I had one, I had to have the other two! The pink one is a love, the yellow is a love and the purple is not...for me. I purchased this one, gave it a quick spray, and it the box and drawer it went. I read review after review and it was well liked! I didn't understand the hype. It wasn't BAD....but eh! Well I've brought it out to really wear. It's just like the positive reviews! I didn't give it a chance. With the very first "real" all day wearing, it's a love! This is a perfect pear scent! It's warm, summery, juicy, thick and sweet like the most grand jam a person can make. It's not syrupy. It's low sugar and refreshing! This is a beach party in itself. It's a break for refreshments...wine coolers and fresh fruit. It's sunshine and warmth. It's happy memories with best friends/relatives. It's the colors of a beach ball. This has strength and endurance. This will take you onto the bonfire when dark, and kiss you goodnight. I love this. It's not for a grown serious person that acts their age. It's for ANYone that can FORGET their age when they're over 30...like ME! This I find, is an odd shape for a wine cooler! But it's TASTY!

This perfume actually has great longevity on me. I sprayed it in the morning and until now I could still smell it on myself strongly. First off, the bottle is so pretty! It was actually the first thing that made me smile. Second is that, it smells oh so good! Just my type of pretty feminine fruity sweet tropical with hint of floral. This is definitely inoffensive. A great everyday scent. I knew at first spray this is another love in my collection. I actually also have the pink version of this which is the BCBG Maxazria, I also like the strawberry fruity goodness of that but it seems that I am loving this more maybe it’s because I’ve used that a lot and got tired of it. Lol! But both are great! Now I am tempted and curious to complete my collection with the Bon Genre. Hmmm...we’ll see coz’ so far I got 2 hits out of the 3 piece collection!

It's all about body chemistry and personal taste. Also, the season influences the smell of this perfume as well. This smells delightful on me. It is clean and fresh with a bit of soft/warm powderiness, which I love. I absolutely love the drydown as it mingles with my chemistry as the fruity notes fade and the woodsy oriental notes come out to round out this beautiful scent. I was surprised to find it on sale at Marshall's for $24.99 because I've been wanting this scent for a long time, and I am glad I can add it to my collection of my perfumes. The bottle is gorgeous on my dresser.

The fruity opening of Bon Chic is beautiful! This was the sales associate's favourite perfume, and I understood why. Of everything she sent my way, this was the one that kept my attention. I loved the fresh and slightly sweet scent in the beginning. The florals come into play a bit later, but they remain soft and ancillary. The vanilla, musk, and wood remain at the base, maintaining the smoothness of the overall fragrance. It's simple and delicious! I picture a woman with a radiant smile and a matching personality with this one.

Light, fresh, fruity--mango, peony and musk on my skin. Reminiscent of Ralph Lauren's Ralph due to the fruity-fresh muskyness, and that's not a bad thing (I love them both). The bottle is beautiful, and this one can be found inexpensively at places like TJ's and Ross. This is a perfect spring/summer scent because it's light and fresh without being astringent at all. I also get a nice hit of creamy vanilla that keeps this one from being too musky and one-note. Very pretty!

I purchased the 1.7 oz and lotion for 6.99 so it was a blind impulsive buy for me. I got this around Christmas and it was over powering. Today it's a warm 60 degree day and I WFH and decided to give this a go. For sure a spring maybe even summer fragrance. It's bright, sweet yet a but cozy on the dry down. You for sure smell the tropical fruits.

I really like it. It actually has pretty good lasting power. Though it's fruity, it doesn't annoy me like many other fragrances of the sort out there. It's a soft & elegant even though it's fruity. I feel like it's good for any age. In my opinion it's not as sweet & cloying as many other perfumes with similar notes.

Easily one of the best flowery and fruity perfumes on the market. Bought it today at Dillard's and received a free gold BCBG overnight tote with the purchase! It does NOT smell cheap, powdery, or overly sweet. If you're looking for a wonderful daytime scent, this is it!

I bought this perfume recently after I tried it in the store. What can I say - nice, but to simple. I like more rich perfume. What it reminded me is body mist - wild flowers. Maybe it would be good for teenager girl but not for me - feel too cheap.

This was another blind buy for me after picking up the Pink bottle. It's a gorgeous smell! Very feminine and sensual - reminds me of J'adore only lighter & softer and doesn't go rank on my skin. For me it will be an any time of the year scent.

Sometimes you just want to smell good without all the fuss! This scent delivers just that! Light, warm, sweet, and snuggly perfume! It smells like a floral banana to me and I really love that!

This smells sooo good!! I love the fruityness of it :) It's a very valuable perfume to me and I'm so glad I have it in my collection

I have the body spray as well as the perfume. I tried the body spray and I have to say, I found it overly sweet, a bit too youthful for me, and inexpensive smelling. I’ve let it sit in my second home’s bathroom for five years! I avoided it, because it wasn’t my style but thought in a pinch it would do, if I forgot to pack a fragrance. Over the last few years, I’ve purchased a lot of different fragrances! I’ve smelled all kinds. Now it is summer and I’m at my other home, and decided to give it a sniff. I like it soo much more than I used to! I have had the perfume for a long time and haven’t used it thinking I would not like it. It’s definitely a summer scent and is bright and sweet. My fragrance tastes have really evolved where different fragrances I would’ve never liked in the past are now appealing to me. Sometimes, letting them sit also seems to improve a fragrance. It’s so interesting! It’s definitely an easy reach for the warmer months. Longevity isn’t great but this is the body spray. For me it’s a casual daytime scent but I like it now! I’m glad I revisited this.

I'm wearing this one right now. I just smelled it a few days ago at the mall. I liked it upon first spray. I couldn't get it out of my mind, so I went back and bought it today. It's definitely a spring/summer scent. At the very beginning, once it's sprayed, it smells sweet... but then that goes away pretty quickly. The main thing I pick up on is a lemon zest, but there are no notes of lemon in it. So I think what I'm smelling is the pear and orange blossom. It smells citrusy and zesty, so that makes it a very good summer scent. The smell lasted on me several hours. Yeah, I think this is something that I could wear every day. It's kind of peppy... the color yellow suits it. It definitely smells like perfume. I mean, it doesn't scream "I'm perfume!!!", but it's not the softest scent I've ever smelled. I could see me wearing it to a back yard barbeque, fourth of July summer get-together. It's the kind of scent that would lift your spirits. Yeah, I like it. I'm glad I bought it and I will continue to wear it.

I gave away my BCBGMA Bon Genre. It smelled good but turned sharply sweet on my skin. I passed on the pink bottle once because it was too cutesy-fruity for my taste. Yesterday I stumbled across Bon Chic at a discount store and figured why not. Although the other fragrances weren't my forte, I still believe this line is underrated. Fair quality, fair price. Do they match power houses like chanel? Definitely not. Compared to scents targeting the younger crowd, however, they are a great option. Bon Chic is a like for me. Pleasant, fruity, and slightly powdery on the tail end. It is spring sunshine in a bottle. This reminds me of the smell that floats on the breeze when laundered sheets are hung on the line to dry. Except there are detectable pear and raspberry notes. Not sweet. Fresh. Also a tropical vibe in the background, probably mango or something. An inoffensive, safe blind buy especially for an adolescent. Not bad at all.

I sprayed this on my arm and at first is was quite alcohol smelling and sharp. Then it calmed a bit and morphed into... an exact duplicate of Bath & Body Work's Carried Away! I do like that smell, but for the money I would expect something a bit more complex. The dry-down does usher in a bit more complexity; it is still very much like Carried Away, but the white florals poke through a little more, rounding out the fragrance nicely. Over all, Bon Chic is a pleasant fragrance, and since I got the bottle at my local discount retailer I'd say the price I paid was worth the risk on this blind buy (especially considering the bottle, which I think is a nice little collector's item). I will use it this spring and summer. I definitely would not pay full price for this, however, and am unlikely to purchase again.

I'm finding it difficult to put my thoughts into words.This scent is...meh. What I smell is very fruity,yet,to my nose,very synthetic.Like a sweet plastic smell.I can't explain it better than that.I had a Jordache "our version" of Paris Hilton awhile back,and this smells exactly like that.I was so disappointed in this.Idk what I was expecting,from the notes,but not what I smell. On the bright side,I got loads of compliments from the girls I work with,but then again,any fruity/floral gets that reaction from them. Sillage is moderate,as is the longevity,about 4-5 hours. While it's not a scrubber,it's just kind of there,smelling like sweet,fruity plastic. I might try again in cooler weather,but I think this might have to find a more loving home.

I just got this yesterday, and am wearing it for the first time today. I really like this on me. My husband surprised me with it, because he knew I'd liked it when I smelled it in the store. It's a lighter scent, but I can still smell it. It seems to have average longevity and sillage. The bottle is really pretty too, even though the cap is a little awkward and hard to remove. I also like the first version in the pink bottle, and will probably get that too, but this was my favorite of the two I tested. I found mine much cheaper than at Macys, I got mine from Marshalls for 25.00 while it runs about 65.00 at Macys and Younkers. This one is going to get lots of summer wear.

Okay. I like this BCBG fragrance, and my future husband bought me a bottle on a vacation to Washington, DC, paying almost $100 for it in an upscale shop in Georgetown. I had no clue how much he had overpaid until I saw it at TJ Maxx for less than $20. So I liked it. It is a fruity and sweet but a bit sophisticated too. It smells expensive to me. The thing is, I LOVE the pink BCBG so very much, and Bon Chic in the gold bottle is not that much different, so I will just continue to hunt for the strawberry-cherry pink bottle instead since, though it is similar, it is certainly my favorite (it is the cherry I love)!

The opening smells like a watermelon four loko beverage lol! a mix between that and a bubblicious bubblegum. I swear I can smell strawberries in the opening!?The dry down smells more subtle I get a sense of something aquatic for some reason. I don't really sense the middle floral notes, just the opening and dry down.... Longevity 2/5 sillage 2/5 uniqueness 1/5 So... all in all just an average smelling perfume. I would sense that kiddos and teens might like this scent. Not trying to put an age on this! I dont like to label! But I just think that kids/teens might like the fruity notes in this.

Being home with nothing to do I find myself lately going through my collection and trying out ones I haven’t worn and smelled in a while and this one came up and it’s really nice. It is very much an easy inoffensive perfume good for a blind buy, at the right price. When I saw the “this reminds me of” perfumes there are a few in there that are spot on the same scent. If you live in Canada, go to Shoppers Drug Mart and this often is on the 19.99 shelf, and Usually it’s a gift set of it for 19.99! This is something that would be good for all seasons during the day

I'm so sad to say that I probably have to agree with everyone on this. It smells amazing for about 60 seconds. Fresh, ripe, juicy fruit, but not too sweet or cloying. And then it fades :( And all you are left with is the smell of the bubbles coming from your hair as you lather up with Garnier Fructis. Fresh, fruity, shampoo. Boring! And yes, it does remind me of Paris Hilton! But it kinda reminds me of Paris Hilton Heiress, not Paris Hilton the original. Well, it's a shame since the first BCBG fragrance is AMAZING!

Freshly sweet and tropical, I don’t find it cloying or heavy but it’s undeniably fruity. I would say that the og BCBG Max Azria smells way more like Ralph than this. If you like tropical but don’t like coconut, this is perfect for you. If you like sweet, young, summery scents, look no further. For the price it’s hard to be upset about if it’s not quite up your alley. It’s one of my most ignored perfumes but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just not my type.

As others have said this does not seem to last long on the skin, but I bought the full bottle because it lingers a long time on my hair, unlike many other perfumes. It is fresh and sweet, and I like getting that burst of tropical scent from my hair during the day. It does remind me of the Escada perfumes but those have NO staying power on me whatsoever. I'm very happy with my purchase as the price online is relatively low.

Definitely fruit-heavy, but the vanilla, musk, and peony balance it out enough to make it smell sophisticated and not too young. It's fun, sexy, and flirty. It has a moderate silage, but it definitely isn't overwhelming. It kind of makes you wanna lean in to get a better whiff. Totally wearable all year round. I seriously just cannot get enough of this. A must have for me! :)

Fruity? Yes. At first. Unfortunately for me, though, the fruity notes VERY quickly transform into... and I can't believe this... fabric softener. Sigh. I was SO excited about this and was prepared to love it but I walk around smelling like a Bounce sheet. I *do* still like it, though. It's fresh and pretty and I can't wait to give it a good solid wearing this spring.

Very light and fruity scent on me. I have not worn it much as I had the pink one and thought this would be similar.Love the pink one! I will be giving this one a second chance soon though since I read some others that have done that and changed their minds. GORGEOUS bottle if you like to collect them, looks beautiful on the vanity top. For Spring and Summer. Try it!

Still smelling my arm 3 hours later, I say definately this in a good way - I say too that Bon Chic on me out lasted the pink original BCBG. Sort of close to yellow diamond, more potent friuts at first drydown now a little powdery in a soft not overpowering way. Wish the rollerball was out right now, $55 is not what I want to spend, yet.

a pretty, classy, shampoo-like fruity floral. it's inoffensive and simple, and i often sleep on it because it's not as sensual as what i usually go for, but on days that i just want to smell clean and shower fresh, it's great. the mango note is really nice, and the bottle is a visually appealing addition to my shelf

Beautiful scent, love the bottle too! It is true though (someone mentions below) that the first few minutes are just amazing, mango fruit awesomeness, and later it starts being more soapy. I still like it A LOT though, better than the first one. Absolutely great for the upcoming spring!

This smells like so many other fragrances out there that it's almost generic and forgettable. It's obviously synthetic, but nonetheless is pleasant and likable. It reminds me a little of the Coach EDP, but with slightly less complexity. Projection is surprisingly decent.

It's a fairly generic fruity floral. It's unoffensive, pretty, and light. Considering you can get it for $30 for 3.4 oz, though, I'd say it's a good deal and a good one to give teens and tweens since you can't really go overboard with it.

Very light sweet nondescript tropical fragrance. If I had to compare it to another scent, it smells slightly similar to Escada RockinRio if it was incredibly watered down, and Escada scents are already as light as body splashes.

Fruity floral sunshine! I get the raspberry and pear and flowers. It’s also a little aquatic. Very youthful at first. As it dries it becomes more mature. I like all the stages. Sure don’t need to spray much! Nice and strong.

bon chic is a fresh fruity perfume. it reminds me of a mixture of paris hilton's - paris hilton and live luxe- by j-lo with a kick of freshness added in there. this is a nice summer fragrance. fun and fresh.

Youthful, fresh and sweet. In the family of Ralph Ralph Lauren or Big Pony 3, but not a dupe for either by any stretch. The pear here is very sweet, not sparkling or tart at all. A true fruity floral.

If anyone wants this, I'm willing to swap for something, or sell it. I've the gift set, that's barley been used 98% full.

Well. My skin chemistry changed. AGAIN. I used to love this and now it smells like a toilet with bleach and fruits in it.

Smells exactly like a fruity body spray, it's very sweet that you want to drink water after you smell it, but all this without making you sick. the flower as the bottle cap is ridiculous and takes a lot of space on my dressing table lol. I don't even know why and how I have this perfume in my collection. Anyway is not something that I would buy again.

Summer parfume! Youthful but not for teenager? This is the same vibe with sweet fruity victoria secret's.

I purchased this around the time it came out, getting the gift set with the body wash. I liked this when I first got it in high school. Over time, I began to associate the smell with the body wash. Unfortunately, I think there is something about this combination of fruity floral that does lend itself better to body wash than a perfume. I never did get mango from this. The mix of fruits read more tart strawberry to me. It had an annoying and unsophisticated evolution throughout the wear. No one else I had smell this liked it and when I wanted to declutter it, I couldn't even give it away.

Calgon!!! When I first sprayed this, I knew instantly I hated it, cheap, chapstick like, ambiguous fruit. Waxy, synthetic raspberry and a frosting covered pear. The smell was strangely nostalgic tough... I couldn't place my finger on it, until I had an AHA! moment. It smells like Calgon take me away raspberry. This is a give away to the thrift store... awful. I hate the big, bulky, plastic topped bottle too.

Smells like a cheap scent...I agree that this does smell like the Paris Hilton scent...or maybe an escada one. Either way, this scent is too expensive for what it is. I like the original one far better.

musty, run-down motel room and the carpet is stained with cat pee and banana medicine. someone needed to mask the scent with strawberries and champagne body spray.

Smells exactly like "Hawaii" in the glade room fresheners. It just reminds me of a room freshener that smells like it would cost a dollar.

POOLSIDE Fruity-Floral. Let's start with the bottle, which isn't bad, save for the gauche oversized plastic cap. After discarding the cap, the remaining glass bottle has a nice heaviness, and feels a comfortable size in your hand to spray. Opens with a fresh & fruity burst that's listed as pear, mango & raspberry, however I would add cantaloupe-melon and cucumber. The drydown is light musky woods, and there is a dusty, mossy note in here that smells like oakmoss (not listed) done in a similar manner to Paris Hilton Paris Hilton. The overall impression is of a faintly chlorinated poolside melon-cucumber scent from the early 2000s, with a little added fruitiness. Sometimes you will catch a glimpse of one of the older aquatic Calgon body sprays, and on some days it will project something nearing pineapple. I don't find this offensive in any way, and the base is actually quite nice when it picks up more of its woody tones, though it's very soft. This may seem older to some than the 2012 year of release, and my guess is that it may have been an attempt at refining or softening the calone-soaked poolside fruity-florals of the late 90s/early 2000s, in which case the goal was achieved. Contrast to Live Luxe Jennifer Lopez: These are very similar with that poolside 90s/early 2000s fruity-floral vibe. Live Luxe has much better performance, but the drydown of Bon Chic has a little less of the pool. Overall: This is nice for a poolside fruity-floral. Save this for for summer 'Throwback Thursdays', and enjoy!

I'm also not understanding the hate for this one. I've been blind buying too much lately but I've actually been ending up with mostly things I like or love. I really just picked this up because of the price and I'd seen it several times and tonight was just the night I decided to get it. I got the 1.7 oz. gift set with the lotion for $10.99. This I like because it's not like other fruity floral scents. I haven't tested a great deal yet but so far on my wrist it's lasting pretty well with just one spray. It's different in that the florals come out more so it doesn't feel super juvenile, no disrespect btw. Recent perfumes have been so complicated and this is just straightforward, a pretty floral and getting whiffs from my arm it's pretty interesting for what it is. It's also different than these syrupy sweet pink scents, overly patchouli laden scents. It's just fresh, easy, pretty and best of all cheap in price but not quality in my opinion. Pick it up if you like light clean florals with a woody base❤ Edit: I also wanted to add that this does not smell tropical to me, the pear keeps it from going there. This smells like a fall sunny day to me. I mixed it with Endless Wonder from aeropostale another burlington find and it's just adding another clean pear floral vibe❤

I must admit that I'm a bit surprised at the strong reactions to this fragrance. I find it to be so neutral and innocuous that I can't imagine having any strong feelings about it either way. That being said, I find it pleasant. It's definitely sweet, but not sickly sweet in that Pink Sugar way. It reminds me every so slightly of the Body Shop Vanilla Musk oil that wore back in jr high school. However, it's not nearly as strong as that, nor is it as long lasting. In fact, if I had to come up with one really negative thing to say about it, it would be that the staying power is pretty pathetic. I don't get much "floral" from this one at all. It's definitely sweet fruity with a hint of musk. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase of this, because it was a $20 find. The bottle is pretty and the fragrance is versatile and inoffensive. (great for work, etc.) Had I paid full price... I might have a different opinion about it.

This reminds me of RL Ralph - however this is not as sparkling as Ralph. On me it is a soapy floral fruity. Not too sweet though. I smell peony first then pear then violet - maybe a hint of musk. To me this is actually quite heavier on the floral side - however it does have a fresh feel. It is considerably different from the original. Notably less sweet, smooth, and lacking the romantic feel that the original has. This definitely does give off a "shampoo" vibe. The main accords above include "tropical" - in my opinion this is not tropical at all. It is a clean and pretty floral fragrance, but lacking much uniqueness. If you like peony and soapy fruity florals(or would like a more floral version of Ralph) you might like to give this a try.

Smelled this today in my local Marshalls store, and while I do think it's a gorgeous scent, with a pretty bottle, I was left feeling dissapointed because it smelled EXACTLY like another perfume that I already own, which is Mariah Carey's Lollipop Bling Honey perfume! Like side by side, they smelled SO CLOSE to one another! And the funny thing is, they both are in similarly colored yellow bottles! I paid about 20 dollars cheaper for my Honey perfume too, so I was not about to spend way more money for something similar in my opinion! Definitely not a bad fragrance, pretty bottle, and will keep it in mind for the future! :) Just not what I am looking for right now!
