Natalie

This is a perfume that I never would have heard of - or known about, if my Fragrance Angel had not mentioned it. This is a gorgeous Type 2 perfume (in Dressing Your Truth, this is the fully romantic activation - the girl wearing "Somewhere in Time" type romantic lace florals. This perfume resonates in the same range with my beloved "Rare Pearls" by Avon. This is a very feminine perfume with not an ounce of unisex or masculine qualities to the perfume. This is all girl - all lady. Very pretty and feminine. This perfume would probably be in the running for a signature if it had the silage and longevity that I were looking for in a signature perfume. I love this perfume, it makes me feel elegant, pampered, and lovely - just spraying this on. What a lovely dedication by Natalie Woods' daughters. I never would have thought of this, but this is the ideal way to honor your mother. It keeps her memory fully alive - and so many other people can enjoy Natalie's favorite blend of gardenia and orange blossom. Truly a "soul experience" - I love this perfume, the blend of notes is truly gorgeous. This perfume raises the bar in a number of ways - and also serves as a tremendous tribute to the memory of Natalie Wood. Thank you to my Fragrance Angel for introducing me to this! Thank you to Natalie Woods' daughters for creating this. Life is oh so much better when you have perfume that touches not only your heart - but your soul! ------------- If you like Natalie Wood's perfume, it is the all feminine version of Calvin Klein's "Beauty"... "Beauty" leans more spa-like, cedar/birch, like a hike near a cedar/birch forest wearing a flannel plaid shirt, hiking boots, and a backpack. Both could be great signature type perfumes. They are closely related, with only subtle differences. Jennifer Lopez's Love and Light is also in a similar fragrance genre to this perfume. I really like these feminine perfumes. For so long we have been trying to contrive more masculine notes into a feminine perfume. I like it when these smell more feminine.

I really like this perfume! It's citrusy, natural jasmine, gardenia and lotion. If you like these notes, you really should consider trying this out! I'm testing it for longevity and it lasts long enough when compared to citrus scents. I think the citrus notes are close to Gabrielle from Chanel. I enjoy it very much!

I love a white floral that is not trammeled by tuberose. Ladies, you did a nice job leaving that one out. This is a lovely scent, very wearable. I could see it being someone's signature scent, but for me, this is a springtime fragrance. it smells like a whole garden.

My mom wears it and I love the smell of gardenia and orange blossom! I even wear it in Miss Earth 2017!

Starts out very citrusy with the bitter orange and the rose turns lemony. A buttery narcissus appears,orange blossom, jasmine follow up and the base woods stir in the background. Gardenia enters the scene . It does echo parts of Jungle Gardenia. Its modern with a nod to retro scents of yesteryear. The beginning is a little rough to get over, but wait it out until it smooths out. Its a lovely floral and unique to find these days.

I had a travel size of this and I must say it smells kinda vintage. I sorta like this but I don’t think I’m going to buy another one until I’m a bit older. I really like how Natalie Wood’s daughter, Natasha made this fragrance in tribute to her mom, who died too soon.

I know nothing about perfume beyond what I like and what I don't like. I do know that I tend to like floral scents, will happily bury my nose in a gardenia and that the description of this scent was appealing to me. So I sent for a sample. Thank goodness that's all I got. I sniffed the open vial and turned up my nose. But okay. Maybe mixed with my own body chemistry, something magical would occur. I dabbed the tiniest bit and waited. Much as I'd love to tell you how wonderful the result was, I can't. It was nasty. And despite the fact that I put only the tiniest bit on my wrist, it screamed for attention. I imagined myself in an elevator full of people, everyone glancing around, noses atwitch, trying to determine the source of the unpleasant odor. I ran to the sink to wash it off. There's still a faint ghost of the smell, and I just don't like it. But let me stress again that just because it smelled disgusting on me, doesn't mean it won't be heaven to someone else. Our tastes are different; our body chemistries are different. And I really wanted to like this product.

Fragrance Review For Natalie Wood Top Notes Neroli Freesia Bitter Orange Rose Oil Middle Notes Gardenia Narcissus Jasmine Orange Blossom Hyacinth Base Notes Vanilla Musk Wood I avoided testing this fragrance because I was looking at it from a perfume snob point of view. Hollywood actress Natalie Wood wore Jungle Gardenia by Tuvache which I really enjoyed in vintage form as I'm sure she did but after about a year or two of waiting I finally got my hands on this beautiful white floral fragrance. No it wears nothing like Jungle Gardenia nor even attempts to have the slightest resemblance to it. This is a white floral chypre that has a classic vintage feel to it while at the same time being very modern. It has authentic floral extracts and a very real rose oil that smelled like rose attars from Middle Eastern perfume companies. This is a fragrant heady smell of gardenia and rose the likes of which I had not smelled before. This is a gardenia flower smell with pronounced vanilla making it very modern but because of the old fashioned rose oil/rose water it also smells very old fashioned. It also has additional white floral scents of jasmine. Lots of jasmine. At the dry down is a musk scent that really holds everything together. Classy, mature for sure but amazing. It makes me feel very lady like and elegant. It has an Old Hollywood glamorous quality. It could have almost turned into White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor but fortunately that vanilla kept it sweet and not at all spicy. Beautiful. I am sorry I waited too long to appreciate it. Highly recommended for fans of white floral fragrances, vanilla, woods and rose oil as well as the perfumes that evoke the glamorous Old Hollywood movie star decades of the 1930s 1940s 1950s

Wow, this is nothing like i expected it to be! Its fresh, green, citrusy with lime zest as the main singer. Im waiting to see if ill get the florals. I just had to come on right away cuz im so surprised that this is so bright zesty citrus fragrance! Its lovely. Not anything like i thought it woukd be but its the fragrance ive been searching for for si many years. The main reason i wanted this was cuz i want a bottle with my name on it and it turns out my name is Natalie and i love gardenia fragrances so i was hoping this would be a winner to justify me buying the whole set. As im typing i now snell creamy fliral developing under the zesty freshness. This is a major wow fragrance! I would expect something like this from Jessica mcclintock. This is so beautiful! Its hard to find such lovely feagrances these days that are so thlughfully well made. Im trult impressed and so proud that it bears my name... I give it my stamp of approval and i sing on off on using my name, Natalie, to represent this fragrance! This is definitely a Natalie perfume! Thank you daughters for making this, its perfect!!!

Dear @La DameDeNoir (which in french mean nothing: la dame en noir, du noir, de le noir have a meaning. Im not french but this is a prelude of your ignorance) Natalie Wood is not Marilyn Monroe or Grace Kelly. Barely people remember her. So I don't see the great business in launch a fragrance in her name. If you read that their sons are involved in this thing and that they are doing that in memory of her mother you should just shut up. To respect their sensibility even if you do not have one. Can you get the point? We are not talking about procter & gamble that launch a perfume called Puccini. There I can see a clear business. But this is a family matter most. Can you see the difference? And about permissions even a child knows that for launch back a perfume by Coty you need to be Coty as the label still exist! For these reason of ignorance in almost all aspect of life and existence I will never respect you. Go back to school or just try to think before to talk. Than yes: I do respect people that do not think like me but I do not respect people that do not think at all!

I’ e been searching for a white floral with jasmine and gardenia that is fresh and new. After reading the reviews here I found 3 sampler vials on eBay. They arrived today and I could not wait to try it. I sprayed the slightest mist on both inner wrists at around 1 pm and at 7pm it is still very noticeable and even better. It was strong at first spray. My first whiff was the Neroli, I smell no Rose at all but that might just be my ole factory. The woody notes of musk and vanilla are more prominent in the dry down. It is not the ultimate fragrance I’ve been in search of but it will be my go to until I find that perfect white floral with the right mid and base notes. The price is unbelievable and it smells more expensive. I have given up hope finding anything to compare with the original Tova from the early 80s still my favorite of all time. Never have I worn a fragrance that garnered more compliments than the original Tova

Okay, here is a review of the actual fragrance. The two top notes are gardenia and lemon/citrus. It's a light scent, but comes across as very natural. It uses very good quality oils, and is more artistic than commercial. It has a lot of white flowers, but the fresh gardenia is front and center. It's not an indolent, creamy gardenia, but more of a green, fresh-cut flower gardenia. If someone sprayed it on you and told you it was Creed, you'd believe them. I like it, and have been wearing it several days in a row. It takes a while to "figure out" this scent, which is also the sign of a good scent. I was getting dressed today, and realized there was an intoxicating gardenia scent on my jacket and shirt. It was very natural, like being in the sunshine and walking past a gardenia bush. That decided me. I do love this scent and will order a full bottle.

Wearing Fracas and Chinatown in the winter got me obsessed with huge creamy white florals, and I stumbled on this quite by accident. Found it on ebay for $17 shipped for 100ml, and I'm quite happy with it! It's not an old fashioned gardenia bomb. In fact, the opening is very bitter citrus and orange blossom (green) with neroli- so much that it def reminds me of Guerlain Bianca Neroli. Most of the sillage for hours was ^^ orange blossom BUT my skin gave off this WARM womanly skank/indole (jasmine)- so much that I was starting to feel self conscious. I LOVE skanky perfumes, but I was out in public and it seemed STRONG, plus this is quite long lasting. Overall, it's GOOD- just don't expect a perfume homage to Gardenia. However, it's gorgeous and wearable with some vintage flair that I adore. A WIN for the price! Highly recommended!

Bitter at first it changes into a creamy white floral. The Gardenia is gorgeous and not headache inducing like some . It hovers over the other notes perfectly. The Vanilla adds a soft touch in the dry down .The silage is average and longevity could be a bit better .But it's a very pretty scent that I have been wearing for a few days and enjoying more and more. Had not expected to like it so much. 7/10

Did a blind buy, because I love white florals.I like this scent, but I don't love it.Maybe it's the woody notes, that ruins it for me...The celebrity white floral scents I do love are Jennifer Aniston's first fragrance and Denise Richards fragrance..Even Jovan's Island Gardenia and Sand&Sable smell nicer to me.

Gosh, I'd love to read some, you know, actual reviews instead of seeing insults being hurled and tirades about the good ol' days when we could bathe ourselves in the most overwhelming fumes without a care for anyone who might get within arm's radius.

If I was God (or Jeannie from "I Dream of Jeannie" or Samantha Stevens from "Bewitched") , I would blink and have this turn up on T.J. Marshall's red tag clearance rack for $14.99 TOMORROW morning ! Day-um I love all those ingredients !

Stupid cows talk without read the story. Any lost fragrance reissued is welcome. Any memory from the past, about a mother, about a perfume, about a reminescence is a treasure. I love gardenia.

Gorgeous. Soapy. White floral but not overpowering. Long lasting.
