Deliciously fresh and feminine. Quite invigorating! Immediately puts a little pep in your step; rouses a convivial, almost joyful, disposition.. this is certainly a mood-booster. Tangy citrus dominates the opening. Interestingly, there is a subtle amount of sweetness here but this is likely coming from the floral heart. Definitely a fruity fragrance but more clean/refreshing than overly ripe and super super juicy; the star of the show is definitely the jasmine. A bit of green as well... very interesting! I keep smelling my wrists and nearly every time I feel as though I am catching something new or slightly unexpected. The pear actually becomes more prominent during the middle phase which I find to be really unique. Creamy vanilla at the base, slightly resinous. Super fun perfume to wear but it also works perfectly for more 'professional' environments. Decent staying power, I get just about 6-hours on skin, maybe a bit longer on clothes.. arms-length sillage at the absolute most. CJ is criminally under-appreciated in my book.

I just received this and so my first impression is that it is beautiful! It's sweet, but not too harshly so. It is super unique! It's that pear note! It's singing the loudest for sure. I don't usually like sweet scents so this is blended in such a way that...WOW! I love it! It came in a very nice box, well packaged from the Michael Malul company. So that's a plus. I'm excited I gave this a try! Yay! Blind buy win! More thoughts: I wore this all day yesterday and just loved all the drying phases! It seemed familiar yet then unique. I will need a backup! It is completely wearable, enjoyable, just comfortable! That is what I seem to love; comfortable, comforting scents. I've already sprayed it again this morning! Love it! More thoughts again, This has become my absolute favorite perfume in my whole collection! I cannot stay away from it! I'd say that it's signature worthy for me personally. It just has enough warmth, sweetness, and then at the end a teensy sweet powdery-ness. Lovely scent. ❤️

AHHHH SO GOOD! This is definitely something you have to try on your skin to give a fair chance. I didn't like it on the tester strip for the longest time, as all I got was like a cloying soap. But on the skin... Wow It's soapy initially, then you get the sweet juicy citrus notes with a little vanilla in the back. As it dries down throughout the day, all that's left on my skin is a musky/ambery pear (which is lovely to me) and it lasts a good 7-10hrs on me depending on how much I spray. Also the atomizer is amazing, I didn't think I was picky with the way things sprayed until I tried this fragrance.

I sampled this in Arlington Virginia Mall, lived it but didnt circle back, left the mall and the smell Haunted me ALL day. I forgot the name:( I searched high and low based on what I remembered about what the bottle looked like. Ended up finding a full bottle on whatnot. Im obsessed with it! It is a soft citrus fresh musk, easy to wear. Its nice in summer but I think it translate year round very nicely. Safe blind buy, I dont see how anyone can hate this. Easy to reach for. Not generic as I dont have anything like this.

This one was a love at first sniff for me. I think it’s sexy with depth and complexity that I expect from a niche fragrance. The longevity and projection are good. This is one of my husbands favorite and in my top 5. The price is also good for the performance, longevity, and uniqueness. It’s also very versatile and can be worn day or night year round. I give 9/10

I just blind bought a sample of this and it’s incredible! It’s so feminine. Smells sweet upon first spray but then gradually blends to a beautiful, soft smell. Blends well with your skin. Not overpowering at all but people can smell it when u walk by. Lots of compliments on this. Am definitely looking to buy the full bottle.

This is such a pretty & interesting scent, it’s sweet fresh and powdery. We started carrying this at my work and it’s been an instant hit. It just grabs you for its interesting blend of notes and this stuff lasts and projects! Seriously one to look into if you like fruity fresh & powdery.

Vibe: Bright citrus floral with clean musk Review: Passed every test I threw at her—paper, skin, summer heat, poolside realness. Clean, elegant, fresh. She’s the one to scratch that chic, wearable summer itch. Verdict: 👑 Full bottle secured next. Fresh summer signature found!

This perfume is so underrated!! Wow I don’t even know how to describe the smell but it’s amazing and has amazing performance and silage for me. I think this could be worn any season as well. Definitely test this before buying as it’s not blind buy safe imo

I just love this one so much. Works wonderfully in the office setting. Long lasting and so crowd pleasing.

This is a beautifully clean laundry scent. Great for spring and summer.

My sample of this smells like a slightly fruitier version of Britney Spears fantasy, like the top notes especially, and also kind of like Erba Pura. Idk why the notes and reviews seem so different from what I’m experiencing? I mean, I GUESS it could be considered a “shampoo scent” if you use some really sweet smelling shampoo, which to be fair there are MANY of, especially these days, but it sure doesn’t smell like that “classic” shampoo scent, you know-really fresh juicy fruits, green apple, freshness, aquatic/ozonic notes, or your expensive shampoo smell which is more like subdued flowers but still fresh, musky, a bit soapy. It really just smells a LOT like BS Fantasy with less of the cupcake gourmand notes (they’re definitely still there though). I guess to that end you could say it kind of smells like any celebrity or lower end scent like Victoria’s Secret or something would put out. It doesn’t have the smoothness and quality of Erba Pura. It’s not bad though, but I wouldn’t buy it for the price, especially not since I have Erba Pura which is essentially a way better version of this, but if I got it as a gift I wouldn’t be upset and I’d wear it. I like it better than Fantasy because it smells better quality and therefore less sharp and cloying but for the significant price increase over Fantasy that’s to be expected. Maybe if I found it for a really great deal then I’d get a bottle, but there’s just too many amazing perfumes out there to spend the cash on before this one to get it for anywhere near its full retail price. It’s very pleasant and pretty good quality (like good designer level), it’s just not super impressive and it’s definitely not very unique. But it’s also an easy perfume to like and therefore would make a great gift. Some people will love this, but it’s just not enough to be a love for me, not from my first wearing at least. If this was like $20-30 I would totally buy a bottle though and would be singing this perfumes praises so just keep in mind this opinion is very price informed. Although I will add that now it’s developing into something a bit different, I’m getting wafts of notes that remind me of Ex Nihilo Sweet Morphine, which is a big time love of mine. So who knows, if it keeps changing I might change my mind about it. I’m liking this phase a lot more than the opening though! I’m definitely curious to try TT Cassiopeia now too as it’s the top voted in the reminds me of section and I have and love Kirke, maybe Cassiopeia will end up being an even better version of this type of scent!

my first perfume and it’s not so bad. i was initially resentful towards this as the salesperson was quite adamant on my purchase. i sat quietly with a disinterest that remained entirely personal. now that i’ve settled at home, my mind is more clear and my appreciation for the salesperson’s persuading nature has risen. i was immediately taken aback by the powdery-ness of it all, though it may have just been the amount i sprayed. i also took the citron for pepper, albeit sweet. i prefer to recognize it like this. i find the latter more appealing than the citron, which seemed to battle for dominance with the note of powder. dried, the scent sprung into a lovely fruit perfume— then into a woody, fresh spice (with a hint of vanilla). there are slight floral and musky notes that i similarly found enjoyable. i do wish the fruit/pear was stronger, but for what the perfume is advertising, it must be better this way. i’m excited to introduce myself 2 the world of fragrance💆

This is a fresh ozonic version of Fantasy! Had to let this one sit for awhile before I could fully appreciate it; a nice crisp Spring / Summer fragrance with enough warmth in the base to balance out the fruit / citrus. The vanilla / amber/ sandlewood base is so similar to Fantasy but without veering into cupcake gourmand territory. I love the freshness of the opening and it doesn’t just disappear; it’s got really decent projection, (around 3 hrs) and dries down to a pleasant skin scent that lasts over 12 on clothes! I’ve definitely been using it more since Spring and have to say without a doubt, while the scent itself is nice, Micheal Malul has THE BEST ATOMIZERS I’ve ever experienced. Beautiful bottles, too! So I’d say not bad overall, maybe just a little expensive for what it is..thankfully it was a gift.

This is a sweet bright pear scent. The pear is a distinct succulent thread in the perfume and, when I smell it, I can picture the juice and grainy texture of the pear. Citrus accord being listed first is apt. The scent profile is refreshing in a fruity kind of way. A warm weather fragrance. I don’t find that this has a lot of complexity and it’s not a scent that I’m in love with. I wanted to try it because of a recommendation on the clock app but very happy I didn’t blind buy. But as far as pear scents go, it’s better than the Juliette Has A Gun [...] pear flanker.

This is fine. I've smelled this before a million times. It's that slightly sweet, slightly citrus, slightly powdery scent you've smelled a hundred times before. Think Clean Reserve Radiant Nectar, Zadig and Voltaire This is Her, Ariana Grande God is a Woman, Liis Studied, etc. It's nice for what it is, but it's not groundbreaking.

This is so good! Its a sweet citrus that sits close to the skin. Vanilla sweet powdery dry down. I do find it similar to Montblanc Signature but this one is way better, the benzoin in that one is off putting to me. update: I still can't do that benzoin note with the citrus dont reach for it at all so im giving it a new home

Pretty. Zesty but a bit yummy. Not the best longevity. But nice enough. I’d wear this around the pool in warmer weather when it comes back. Nice!

i like it, smells like sandalwood...but it only last1 hour on my skin, but last 4 hours on my T-shirt :)

I’m going to have to disagree with the comment before me. Although this is not a terrible scent whatsoever I don’t think the price tag is worth what you get. It’s pretty for sure, I smell the pear the most with a little citron and amber after it starts to dry. However I don’t think it’s strong enough or lasts long enough for me to justify a entire bottle purchase. I got this from the Bliss Discovery set on the Michael Malul website and out of the 7 (2 of which were for men) this one was my least favorite. I hate giving bad reviews because I know how hard these companies work to put out their products so again it’s not bad AT all just maybe not a signature scent for me personally. ❤️ I can definitely seen teen girls wearing this since it’s not so intense and in your face. I really love unique intense smells so for me 5.8/10 :)

Citrusy, sweet, aquatic, ozonic. Undernote of beauty salons & hairspray. Generic, typical, no complexity. 🫤

Smells nice but unfortunately gave me a headache after a few hours :(

I wanted to like this one with the pear opening but it dries down to a soap smell on me.

All I get is a nice soap or shampoo, no fruit at all just soap.

I got nothing but lemon peel and soap from this. I am not a fan of this scent at all and I'm glad I bought a travel sized bottle instead of just blind buying a full sized one. This perfume made me realize that I'm not a fan of citrus dominant perfumes, this also has a soapy undertone that I do not like and the smell of this was too overpowering and burned my nose. This also made me realize that I'm just not a fan of pear as a perfume note because this is the third perfume I've smelled with that note and I haven't liked any of them.

I really like this one. You need to spray on yourself to fully appreciate and get the true goodness of the fragrance. It's not the same experience if you are just sniffing from the bottle. This is a clean, warm, sweet, skin musk type of perfume. It doesn't project much but it definitely is long lasting. I can smell myself the entire day at work and every whiff is enjoyable. I get headaches easily and this doesn't make me want to rub it off. It kinda reminds me of Skin Musk but with more character and interesting notes, but still feminine and pretty. This is for women who love a good subtle scent that just makes you feel beautiful. It will be noticed when you walk past someone and you won't engulf a room. This could be a signature scent. I will be buying the larger size when I'm done with the travel spray.

This is an unremarkable fragrance and probably a scent profile that exists and has been done many times. Nothing groundbreaking here, but there is also nothing wrong with that. It’s nice, but there is no way I’d pay 120 USD for a FB of this. I purchased a travel spray and will probably regift this to someone. It’s just not special enough to justify the price and there are many other unremarkable perfumes that are cheaper. If someone told me this was from Zara, I’d believe them. Totally office safe. Could be a nice purchase for a younger female professional as a gift, if you can get it on sale

I shrugged when I first sampled this pear and Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo scent. It was nice. Walked away from the shop and 30 minutes later it completely transformed into something powdery and clean and just beautiful. I couldn’t stop smelling it so I bought a travel spray. Soon after my first trip with it I came home and immediately bought a full bottle. It’s one of my summer favorites. My husband and son use and love Citizen Jack Absolu as well. I’m really enjoying several Michael Malul fragrances.

To me this is a pretty basic citrus scent with a very strong synthetic musk and amber mix that smells a lot like ambroxan, I really like the citrus part but the ambroxan is just very obnoxious to me and gives off a cheap "perfumey" vibe

If you like layering your perfumes with oil. Arabian oil - Sandra by Rehab perfumes, smells exactly like Citizen Jill.

This smells like a mix of a pretty shampoo and white bar soap in a cozy way. It also smells like a baby

Boo. I'm one of the people that just get soap from this. Clean, fresh soap. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ooof! Nope not a fan..just too generic and harsh. Sorry😔

This smells exactly like Tommy girl
