Very Hollywood

I stumbled on gift set at Ross's with shower gel, lotion and edt for $24.99 so even though I never smelled it, I decided to give it a go. I am rather pleased with this scent-I think you have to like gardenia and white florals in order to appreciate this scent. It starts out with a sweet fruit note then transforms itself into creamy gardenia scent with a prominent fruit note(rasberry). I can actually smell rasberries all throughout(not too much though)and it gives this scent that extra something that makes it special in my eyes. It reminds me of Marc Jacobs gardenia scent except MJ has this aquatic note, instead of fruit. Very Hollywood is very light, fresh, sweet smelling white floral. It smells "young" to me and I can picture younger girls wearing this. I think its quite lovely. I can see comparisons to KK but KK is rather linear and smells like straight up gardenia and VH is much sweeter so its really not the same scent. Neither is Very Hollywood is the same as MK as MK is very deep and intense with hint of incense, and its very "grown up" whether VH is young and playful. Neither do I see huge reseblence to Tease because Tease has that white sand note on the drydown which smells very musky amd VH stays fruty until the end. I think that all the fragrances listed above fall in the same "category" as VH because these are all white florals but they don't smell the same as VH. Bottle is quite pretty but I don't think there is anything "Hollywood" about it because to my nose sweet clean and fresh scent, not really glamorous or sophisticated. Lasting power wasn't that good on me, even layered with lotion, I barely get 2 hours out of this. Oh, well...for the price, I really can't complain

A blindbuy based on my love for gardenia It's bottle is very beautiful and stands out among my other perfumes.the only down side is that I don't like it's pink liquid to go down in the bottle.I thought it's bottle is pink too,not just it's juice When first sprayed,it's sharp,juicy and fruity.raspberry is detectable but this is a not an overly fruity or a berryish scent.gardenia is queen of this scent as expected and it's exactly the type of gardenia I like.it reminds me gardenia in bond no.9 but not as loud.a sweet creamy white floral scent(mostly gardenia but also some jasmine)with a fruity sparkle It smells so beautiful,feminine and pleasant.I expected to like it,luckily I love it. As time passes it's fruity undertone fades and it becomes more about florals.gardenia remains star of this scent but I can also feel a touch of powder which must be amber and oris root but I don't get it's woody base It has plenty of negative reviews and I can see why.white floral fans are usually looking for big and heady white floral fragrances while white floral haters don't usually come close to anything with gardenia as it's most rated note.so I guess very Hollywood won't usually be appreciated by these groups of people.or maybe it just mixes very well with my chemistry If you want to find an easy to like,easy to wear gardenia/tuberose scent give it a try I have to wear it more so that I can judge about it's duration and projection.for now I can say that it's been there for six hours and still counting I'm not very excited about it but I know that I'm going to use it alot.I love it and I'm very happy to have it

for me this is floral-fruity. the top notes are lingering well through the whole composition. top is very juicy, the flowers in the middle are nice and soft with earthy undertone of orris root, drydown very earthy and woody but always overehlmed by the slightly warm floral-fruity components. rather linear and simple but nice for summer! the aroma is bright and shiny, sweet and juicy. advertising suggests red carpet sensation!? well... not that much for me. it's indeed very Very Hollywood but more in the aspect of how suntanned beachgirls will proably smell when they go to party at night with tons of lipgloss and cheekglow. stays close to the skin, not overbaring, sillage average, staying power good for such a light weight scent. synthetic ? no... it's airy soft floral-fruity but NOT chewing-gum or plasticy alike. i like it! bottle is a gem. :D Unfortunately its projection is quite zero :/ stays close to the skin like a bodycream flavour.

Another "Tuberose disguised as Gardenia" perfume-- so first thing : You gotta like TUBEROSE. That said ; this is so nice airy and girly! The sharpness gets dialed down after you apply and the "support team" (the fruit) comes in. I guess the Ylang Ylang, Orris (Iris?) & Jasmine also are there in the background. You will get that "airy florist shop" vibe (LOVE IT!) but with Tuberose as the fist thing you detect when you open the door. This scent LINGERS and I get the feeling people will smell it all day on you. (Tuberose tends to stick around). My bottle was slightly older so I cannot speak for this years model. Happy to have found this at my local flea market for $20.00 ! Very "daytime" , sunshine , wedding-friendly , nice weather - and I think BEES will love this too! LOL

Hmmmmmm. Yes, Very Hollywood is very hollywood. An expensive smelling sweet, fruity white floral. Although I do sense white florals when smelling this, I wouldn't say that it 100 percent dominates it. When you look at the dominant notes you see jasmine and gardenia and ylang-ylang a little farther down the line so naturally you would think it was going to be a heavy-hitter white floral that came out years ago. Not the case. Instead you get a rather modern white floral but with a bitter sweetness. I don't get the raspberry. Instead I get more of a honeydew melon or cantelope. And maybe a little peony and some water lily to freshen it up. I do sense some slight indolic qualities with the white florals that I can detect.
