Nanette Lepore

If you want a cheaper version of this get linn young mixed emotions. Honestly it is the absolute copy of this perfume, I have both. They smell exactly alike, except this one has stronger sillage. They share loads of the same notes such as rose, peach, violet, sandalwood and jasmine. Anyway i wanted this beauty for ages due to loving and adoring the vintage shabby chic looking bottle and i finally bought it. It is cute, adorable and looks perfect among my others. I am not disappointed it is exactly what it says it is a strong thick heavy powdery rose scent. It's rose, rose, rose. Not slight rose, not a gentle rose blended in with other notes. This is a top thick, heavy dominant rose scent. I love rose scents so im thrilled. Yes the top 3 notes for me would be roses, peaches and violets. It's thick but also powdery which is difficult to achieve with a fragrance. This is simply put, a powdery, ultra feminine fragrance with predominant rose. I love to spray it on me when i get out of the bath before bed. It's powdery, comforting & charming. As it settles and the powder comes through i do detect the smell of makeup powders and cosmetics and the like along with the rose for some reason. Anyway its very womanly and feminine and charming and the bottle is adorable. I love it and shall treasure the bottle always.

Very berry and girly, does not remind me of J'Adore Dior. I really like this one, it isn't something i wear all the time but it is special enough that i keep it in the front of my dresser. I spray it at night, or when i don't really know what else to put on for the day. This is certainly a safe scent in my opinion, will please most people and give you a serene feeling. It doesn't smell too synthetic to my nose and it lasts for a long time! EDIT: I change my mind this does remind me of J'adore, the reason being is the first 5 minutes of Nanette makes it a dupe but the dry down is very different. J'adore is very sparkly fizzy and remains this way throughout its life, Nanette dries down to a powdery berry and remains this way (still really nice though). The reformulation of J'adore is blasphemous!! It barely lasts 1 hour on my clothes whereas it used to last for days! Nanette is much cheaper and lasts for about 36 hours and is close enough to Dior to make it a dupe. This certainly doesn't smell cheap! It is very good quality for such a low price.

My first review on fragrantica.com i'm giving it to nanette lepore's signature fragrance! <3 I got this bottle back in 2004 when it first launched. This is the first bottle of perfume I ever purchased in my life before many other ones. I was hanging out with a friend at Macy's who is trying to get a bottle of perfume that day. The sales lady let both of us tried this and I happen to fall right in love with this scent. It was so lovely, it was love at first sight (no kidding). I got the smaller sized bottle right away. This scent is amazing. It is sweet, calm and dreamy. It's the kind of scent that locks down certain emotions...the kind of scent that brings back memory from the happiest moments of life. I love it so much that I stop wearing it afraid i'd run out. It's kinda funny that now I only open it once in a while to sniff the scent when I miss it. I really wish I have gotten the largest bottle instead of the smaller one. Now I'm still in search for a legitimate source to get the largest size.

At first sniff this lovely seems like glaceed fruit, as if it might be a sweet treat that's quickly gone, but then the roses embrace the fruit and carry the fragrance to a rather "baby doll" or kittenish kind of sexiness. I sprayed, enjoyed the scent of roses but thought this might not be a keeper but about an hour later I noticed my skin radiating the most gorgeous sandalwood/amber cloud with bouquets of violets! Ah, violets. Violets always make me smile. Here they're warmed by amber and sandalwood and made a bit powdery with what remains of roses from the top notes. I don't know how this happens and am happy to think it must be magic. Rarely has a fragrance surprised me the way this lovely one has done. From opening to dry down it's as if two entirely different fragrances have taken turns dancing on my skin, to the delight of my nose. Very long-lasting in the drydown stage and oh my! does it ever get compliments! I love it!

Nanette Lepore what a lovely floral, sweet and can get a tad heavy. This would be a lovely floral for fall or winter. It does not have a sugary sweetness to it. The sweetness comes from the peaches mostly. It is very rich for such a light hearted fragrance. I am quite fond of it but find that it can give me a headache if I wear it on the wrong day. It has a similar character to Ghost by Ghost but it is a bit more powerful. From what I saw on the Nanette Lepore website was that the Black Bottle seen here is the same fragrance as the Pink Bottle. The only difference being it was concentrated version only sold in a smaller size. This is a well made perfume I enjoy it dearly, I do have to be careful which days i wear it in order to not get a headache but on the right days it is perfect! Almost what i could imagine what a fairy would smell like.
