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.

I love the scent of this fragrance, but like several others have noted, it has absolutely no staying power for me. It's very nice though...super feminine and young but not TOO juvenile...yet, I've sprayed it on pre-teens and they love it too... I find it extremely easy to wear, especially in the office. It's light and fresh, fruity and sweet but not sickeningly so. The vanilla balances it out so it's just the right combination of sweet and warm. Great for summer too! If only it lasted longer. And of course, the bottle is fantastic. It looks so pretty on the vanity. ♥ This is definitely a winner for teens and 20's...I can see how someone older than that might not like it though.

I was surprised to find this marked "Floral" rather than "Floral Oriental," because on me it went on spicy - I'm not sure where that spiciness came from, but it was definitely there. After awhile the spice went, but the lovely florals that were underneath stayed. This is one I like quite alot, even though it is really light once the initial punch wears off. I would probably find myself re-applying to try to get a stronger scent - sounds like I would be wanting the lotion and other products so I could layer, as I like my perfume to be at least noticable (though not gag-inducing) to those around. At any event, it's a very nice floral and this one is going onto my wish list!

For the most part, I am really fond of Michael Kors fragrances, and Very Hollywood is probably my favorite. I love the gardenia and the sweet sort of fruity essence of this fragrance. Sometimes I just don't understand why some people feel that if it isn't some complex gourmand heavy hitting fragrance that it's boring. Why can't a simple fragrance be appreciated for what it is, a simple yet chic sort of fragrance? If you like Michael Kors as a designer, you'll like a majority of his fragrances. He stays very true to what he does and who he is: Simple yet super chic, and Very Hollywood is just that. I love it.

For me this is a marriage between Michael Kors and Clinique Happy. I loved Happy when I was younger and it was my bestie's signature scent. I love Michael Kors, but it can get a bit on the strong side for me at times, so I don't wear it all too often. This is much more wearable for me. This heavily relies on gardenia, but the citrus makes it much more playful and sweet, sparkling, even. Every year I look forward to summer so I can set this on my vanity. When I smell this I think of class, elegance, and that old hollywood sense of glamor. I think they named it really well.

I absolutely adore this fragrance. Everyone keeps mentioning the white florals but on my skin the initial blast of citrus and raspberry reigns supreme on my skin. After 5 minutes the florals step into the spotlight to do their thing. This perfume smells like the aftermath of a rainy afternoon in the summer.You know that fresh smell of wet grass, flowers and fruit trees in your backyard or that of your grandparents? That's what I get.I love it. I'm currently on my second bottle and will definitely repurchase.

I bought this when it first was released. I was at Bloomingdales buying myself an outfit for a date. It was Summertime and this light floral which was notably gardenia was distinct and gorgeous. I loved the pink bottle which usually I am not a pinky pink girl but it was pretty. I wore this all Summer. I got tons of compliments and had to get another bottle. I wear this to business meetings and in the Summer mostly. It reminds me of Beautiful but this does not wear as long and the sillage is lighter. 9/10

Right out of the vial on my skin, I sensed something 'nutty', maybe it was just my imagination because very quickly this opened up into a beautiful fruity/gardenia scent. Usually I would say that white florals come across as 'classic', vintage or whatever else you want to call a perfume for older women, of which I am one. I love the older fragrances from the 70's but this one strikes me as very young, very modern and chic....different from most gardenias and very refreshing, indeed!

Amazing parfume, it was a blind buy, and i fell in love at the first spray. It is really unique smell, smells like glamour, power, but at the same time really girly and attractive. I think it suits girls around 20+ years old, who wanna feel a little older and powerful. It definitely isn’t for everyone, so my advice is trying it before buying. You will either love it so much, or hate it. There is no in between. Im so sad, i can’t find it anywhere anymore..

This is a scent I've worn since high school, and continually repurchased. Gardenia bushes are one of my favorite scents in the entire world. This is a decent representation of gardenia. There's an added freshness, and a slight nondescript citrus sweetness that makes it smell very feminine. I get none of the base notes at all. No amber, oakmoss, or vetiver. No raspberry either. This is a true floral on my skin.

Ahhh yes, we're into the first week of spring and i immediately went for very hollywood this week. This scent is so lovely, light....airy....soft gardenia, unoffensive, great for daily wear as well. It's just so pretty and feminine and smells heavenly in the rain. I love it. fyi, dont trust the bottle sniff, this one needs to be on the skin to really flourish. scent: 9.5 packaging: 9.5

Without a doubt, my favorite scent of the year. I received it as a birthday present after falling in love with the sample and the sparkling version is fantastic. I'm not quite sure what draws me to a scent but hope to be able to find common notes. I tend to think of myself as a florally fruity kinda girl, not into the spicier scents typically. Glad I found this website!

I find this a breezy, light-hearted scent to wear on a midsummers’ day when the air is languid and the evening is purple and breathless. Classic ingenue scent; reminds me of a summer evening in my early 20s. On me the fruity notes get balanced by the mature gardenia and amber; unfortunately I find it barely lasts until midday if I spritz it on in the morning.

I'm in love with so many Michael Kors scents but this one...OMG! I think this is certainly going to be counted among my signature scents!! Its so fresh but still has that lovely floral scent that draws me to Michael Kors fragrances every time. This fragrance is DEFINITELY one of my favorites and I'll make sure I stock up so I never run out!

doesnt last long enough. Very intoxicating scent. want to smell it longer. Love the floral notes in it. I spray it on myself at the perfume counter every time i see it. My husband likes it too. Will have to buy the knockoff of it, it costs too much, Maybe i will get some for christmas. hint hint lol

I do not know what the beef is with this fragrance! It smells LUSCIOUS! I love the gardenia. It is fresh, delicious and down right MMMM! I can see this on anyone wearing a lush pink dress in a flower garden. Just yum! It also smells a LOT like Juicy Couture edp
