Pepe Jeans Celebrate for Her

Wow wow what a gem!! Im in love, I cant stop smelling myself. So delicious and addicting. A beautiful green and sweet scent, peppery, nutty, aromatic and fresh, almost minty, but also woody, ambery and slightly salty. I love its depth. I have Eau so Decadent and Decadence. I am not getting any of that deep intense mint-candy Decadence scent here which is just like these old fashioned mint candies. Im not getting anything masculine here or smoky and heavy unlike in Decadence (saffron, plum, orris=heavy smoky sharp notes). If anything, this is closer to Eau So Decadent which is sweeter, more syrupy, feminine, more candy-like than the more masculine darker Decadence. Both Decadence and Divine Decadence have saffron giving them the minty accord and theyre both straight up green (in my mind). In Celebrate we dont have the minty element as intense, but very subtle! This perfume is balanced and not overly green. One possible similarity to Divine Decadence is the drunk note, the champagne throughout, and Celebrate has the whiskey. But like I said theyre reminiscent of eachother like cousins, theyre not dupes, so if you dont like Decadence, Eau so Decadent or DD, dont let that deter you from trying this! (One positive review here made me buy this). Celebrate is very feminine and sweet compared to Decadence. Wearing All 3 now. Decadence is heavy, dark green and manly, very reminiscent of Rogue due to the plum, jasmine, amber accords. Divine Decadence is more feminine and sweeter so they may share that green candy vibe, but Celebrate is softer, sexier, more girly, without any heavy, heady elements (the saffron and white florals), more gourmand too so it is more wearable imo. Despite their differences, Divine Decadence and Celebrate are in the same league of green mysterious candy scents (just like Desigual Love). Lasting power is not good at all though. You have to spray often. More on the perfume now. It is slightly green and nutty,sweet, abit spicy almost smoky in a youthful way and kinda milky when I stick my nose on my skin. The opening elements give place to a more green tone which is a little tipsy-minty, fresh and sweet. I still get some pepper throughout. Finally a delicious green gourmand, and Im obsessed already. Not many people can stand Decadence or Divine D, while this is safer. Nothing masculine in Celebrate for Her which is great. The chestnut at the top along with the cashmere wood give me that nutty woody feel which is one of the many elements that this perfume combines so perfectly. It has that green minty sweet side, a drunk kinda aquatic subtle feel and a sweeter vanilla/immortelle accord. Its drydown is ambery green, cozy, but drunk with some spice and then woody and sweet. I can wear this in the cold or heat. The fresh green cooling yet sweet ambery sensation persists in the drydown, what a contrast. I also absolutely love the drunk whiskey note which intensifies at the drydown, its possibly the one mimicking the minty scent along with the caviar. I dont drink but I love me some drunk perfumes (see Beyonce Pulse). The tonka gives me some almond-like element (Tonka is an ingredient that has been used in some cultures to add a vanilla-almond note to custards and sweets). This scent matches my style. This turned out to be an amazing blind buy. Very unique. The very last stage of it is like a greener sweet ambery celebrity scent. Whoever suggested Riri.. possibly did so due to the soft sweetness here, while the scent itself is nothing like Riri, being green and slightly minty. Update: at its opening I detect some delicious salty butteriness along with the pepper and it must come from the popcorn which thank God doesnt smell like actual sour popcorn to me (like the patchouli/black currant/pear combo does). That same scrumptious almost roasted buttery feel I smell in Paco Pure XS.

Pepe Jeans Celebrate for Her perfume was launched in September 2019, together with its masculine version (Celebrate for Him), following the previous fragrance duo (Pepe Jeans for Him and Pepe Jeans for Her). The idea of celebration gained a new chapter with the motto “Because life is better together...and together is now”. And the target audience continues to be women born between 1996 and 2010 (Generation Z), who represent the main consumers of the brand. The visual pattern was also maintained, following the concept of friends who get together to have drinks, talk, and flirt. This time, the martini glass gained more nocturnal tones, through emerald green painting and gold finishes, reinforcing the idea of intensity and sensuality. The fragrance of Celebrate for Her has notes of chestnut, black pepper, apple, and popcorn accord, in the output. Then, the body brings an aquatic accord plus notes of whiskey, immortelle, and caviar, reinforcing the concept of exotic cocktails. Finally, the base carries vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and cashmere wood, confirming the vanilla signature of the composition. You see, we have here a very differentiated fragrance, exotic and of excellent cost-benefit. Celebrate for Her behaves like a floral-oriental, which brings together floral, alcoholic, salty, and creamy nuances. Unlike the male version, this one bears no resemblance to the previous version. On the skin, it is complex and completely out of order. If you think you will smell caramelized popcorn, right away, you are wrong! The initial part brings a sweet accord of roasted chestnuts with slices of apple and cinnamon. And this is not very common unless your family has the habit of baking or cooking Portuguese chestnuts at the end of the year holidays. And don't try to compare it with the smell of cashews or Brazil nuts, as they are very different. Then, a sweet and aromatic floral invades the nostrils and reveals the true identity of this fragrance, when the honey and tobacco facets of Immortelle merge with the ambery warmth of whiskey. At the same time, a salty accord struggles for attention, in a fight that lasts from beginning to the end of evolution. Here, it is easier to feel nuances of popcorn popped in the pan, prepared with a small spoon of butter. The creamy side only appears at the end, when curiosity has already been answered, the conversation has already happened and the hug asks for a touch of comfort and sensuality. In particular, I don't see anything common in this creation, although I have already felt one or the other of similar styles, like Womanity (Mugler), for example. Celebrate for Her is definitely not easy to please, except for those women who don't like the ordinary. It is a fragrance that is contradictory in its essence and arrogant in its personality. If I had to choose only one of the brand's four perfumes, it would certainly be this one.

Just realised I've never reviewed this one, despite loving it and owning it since it's release in the UK. It's avail at a very affordable price. Think I only paid a £10 blind buy of 30ml. I'm nearly out now , the weather is getting cooler , the autumn is upon is and this sweet, nutty fragrance of unusual notes is so cozy and perfect for the upcoming season. I hope they never discontinue this!!. It's still on sale lots of places very affordable right now, I'm gonna stock up while I can cheap. It's happened to me so many times that perfumes will be cheap , then just disappear or you will find only 2 extreme overpriced bottles on eBay. If you like sweet (but not too sweet) frags , with a twist, the twist here being it's very unusual notes, I say it's well worth a blind buy at the cheap price. . I can't detect caviar (thank god lol!) , but a slight saltiness - yes!. Popcorn and the nutty notes are noticeable. It also layers very well with a BR540 dupe I have (the £4 Scarlet Oud from Poundland). It's in vogue but different enough from the usual mega sweet popular frags for you to not smell like everyone else. It's not too sweet, the salty nuts cut through it. I really love this one. And the bottle is adorable and insta-worthy if you like that sort of thing. I own the orange summer one (which is bog standard compared to this one) ,.and I want to get the others so I will have a nice display of "cocktails". One thing is disagree with in the pros and cons is "masculine vibes". No. It's a sweet girly gourmand. Things are so mad now that anything that's not LVEB level sweet or a wall of boring vanilla is "masculine". Nope. Nothing masculine about this. .. whoever thinks that , well their minds would be blown of they smelled some of the vintages marketed to women like Ma Griffe , C19 , Rive Gauche ect. Seriously, this is a nice sweet frag. Nothing masculine here.

I tested this today at my local drugstore and it was such a positive surprise. I haven't tested those perfumes that are being normally sold in drugstores for a very, very long time (partially because of the pandemic and lockdowns in my country, partially because the internet made me into collecting perfumes and so I prefer exploring new and exciting perfume options there). I found out about the Celebrate for Her here on Fragrantica and wanted to test it because the notes seemed interesting to me, though it's not something I would normally buy. The popcorn note is really prominent there (at least on my skin), I actually didn' t expect it to be that prominent. :D I can definitely smell freshly made popcorn&butter, as well as some sweet notes like vanilla. The scent is also aquatic and green, but not too much. The combination of sweet&green&aquatic is actually quite nice there. I don't really know how to name it properly, but it is also kind of addictive - like described in the comment below, I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. Definitely one of those better and interesting drugstore perfumes and the bottle is cute, too. :) Aaaand, I forgot to metion the scent also reminds of me of those summer nights out in that one city I really love visiting here in my country. It reminds me of those nights, crowded streets and people having fun. :) and that smell outside, that is really very similar to Celebrate for Her. :) Overall I can say the perfume has some really good vibes. :) I didn't buy it immediately, but I will consider to do so in future. It's something like La vie est belle perfume for me. I really, really like it, find it nice, playful and cute, it's just not on the top of my perfume-priority list at the moment. :)

What a delicious gourmand/savory affordable fragrance !! On my skin, it smells like a chestnut cream. I think this is caused by the Chestnut/Popcorn/Vanilla notes. Then it gets a bit marine with the Watery Notes and the Caviar, it leans savory and slightly boozy as well, thanks to the White Pepper/Caviar/Whiskey concoction. You get some warmer notes such as the Amber/Tonka Bean/Cashmere Wood. It is a nicely made and creative gourmand/savory scent, that can be worn all year round, day and night. But I think that, because of the nice Caviar and Watery Notes, that gives these Marine/Aquatic main accords, it is better to wear this scent if you live near the shore. Oceanside or seaside, that doesn't really matter, both works. I think it is really suitable for any age group, despise the fact that it's nice and sweet, gourmand and savory. It doesn't smell too youthful neither too mature, it is the perfect balance in between both. It has a subtle sillage, and a pretty good lasting power, it stayed for a whole afternoon when I first tested it. Would say it lasted a good 6 hours but it is still discreet. It's not a fragrance that projects or that has an insane sillage. It doesn't mean that it is a skin scent, you can still smell it nicely and clearly, but it sits close to you, you can clearly smell it while wearing it, but not sure the people surrounding you are going to notice it, if they're more than 17ft apart from you. This was such a great find, the price point is good, the scent itself is great and unique, I already had a perfume from Pepe Jeans and it was Pepe Jeans For Her Life Is Now, but the best one in that line is definitely Celebrate for her. I love it, it's yummy and unique !!! 8,5/10
