Pepe Jeans for Her

Now THIS surprised me. The initial spritz of alcohol you get when you first spray a perfume... was VODKA in this perfume! It wore off as quickly as any initial alcohol smell does, but what a delightful surprise. I know the smell of vodka intimately, as it was my drink of choice in my young carefree drinking years. For those of you who wait for that initial smell of alcohol to disapate, before smelling your skin, may have missed it, as I don't smell much of it after. Maybe a hint? Such a clever thing to do in a fragrance. Then I smell the almond and... tangerine? (So the notes say), which at first distant smell, (before I got my nose close to my skin) tricked my mind into smelling pineapple coconut, and I worried this would be a tropical smell. But upon closer inspection, this does smell like almonds. Then that sweet marshmallow. Golly, I love the smell of marshmallow. This is not a super sweet scent, or a roasted marshmallow scent, or a tropical scent, but it's close. It's a warm almond marshmallow scent. I did not spend very much on this perfume, and did not know what to expect, but it is delightful and fun. The bottle is gorgeous, and well made. The glass top sparkles, and it stands firmly on it's stunning rose gold base. What a bargain. As much as I love this perfume, I feel it is missing something. Maybe a deep woody note in the base, but that could just be my personal taste, as I tend to always crave the smell of wood when I smell marshmallow. Don't be afraid to buy this at a good price. It's a fun ride...

This is truly addicting! I blind bought this cause it was on sale and I was looking for a fragrance with almond. The notes seemed to be all up my ally and I WAS RIGHT! I was a little skeptical about the vodka note because many people have said the vodka is overpowering. I have plenty of boozy fragrances that have that nuisance but they smell classy at the same time (however I did not want another perfume in that scent profile.) Upon first spray you really do smell the vodka and tangerine, though on my skin the vodka wears off and then comes through that nice powdery almond-coconut, vanilla and marshmallow with the vodka lingering LIGHTLY in the background. This is truly SO YUMMY! I can see myself finishing this bottle and repurchasing. A great everyday and party scent! This reminds me a bit of the heritage hair mask I bought from Walmart (I loved it as soon as I smelled it) and I’m glad I can pair this on hair wash days as well. Flirty, sweet, and yummy! 𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼𐬽𐬼 WHERE would I wear this perfume: Date, Movies, Shopping, Brunch, Sexy night, Club, Picnic, Work What would I DO wearing this perfume: Makeup, Hang with friends, Kiss, Dance, Cuddle.

I can definitely smell the vodka in this one but I’m not mad at it. It kind of reminds me of my college days when we would buy those cheap bottles of Burnett’s flavored vodka. There used to be a vanilla one that this kind of reminds me of, but in a good way. There’s definitely something kind of tropical about it to me. I kind of get a hint of sunscreen but more like a mixed drink or cocktail kind of vibe. To some, all that I have just described may seem off putting, but nothing makes me happier than summers tanning on the beach or by the pool with a cocktail in hand so this really takes me to my happy place lol. Someone mentioned that the marshmallow note reminded them of D&G pour femme. I also get that resemblance in the dry down but they are in no way dupes. If they were sisters pour femme would be the oldest one that is married in the suburbs and leads PTA meetings while Pepe would still be single and enjoy going on booze cruises to the Caribbean. I can’t wait to try this out in warmer weather and see how it performs. So far I get decent longevity and sillage and for the price I’m not mad if I have to reapply.

I absolutely love this perfume, and I am so surprised nobody else is talking about it! I had seen this in stores here in Belgium, but I thought it was going to be a diluted, alcohol splash faint-smelling cheapie, like some middle-ground 'designer' fragrances. Not at all, I have been consistently impressed. Got this 50% off on sale for €20, which would be USD 24.45 for a 80 ml bottle. I actually got two, that is how much I loved it. To me, it smells 99% identical to Diesel's Loverdose Red Kiss, the 1% being a delicate fruity but bubblegummy undertone. Sort of a pineapple bubblegum hint, mixed with the ambered vanilla of the Loverdose Red Kiss. It opens up with a coconut note that doesn't stay, at least not on my skin. Ten minutes after spraying it I am left with the pure Loverdose and a hint of sweet, sugared pineapple. Yummy! Very pleased with this discovery, I will continue repurchasing as the Diesel is way too expensive.

Oh how I love this perfume. So many memories, 3 bottles used within a year. This just stays in my mind forever and I will never get tired of this smell. Sure it's cheap, but there's something different into it, that no ordinary cheapie has. Maybe it's because of the memories and nostalgy that it brings to me, but it's so lovely, sweet lactonic, gourmand, but flirty at the same time. Flirty in a gentle way, not bold. You can smell the marshmallows at first, there's everything else in the undertones, vodka, amber. Creates perfect symphony. However i don't recommend blind buy, you might expect something else... Buy it cheaper on vinted perhaps. To me it's definitely a night perfume, but you can smell it still for days, it makes even gentler lactonic smell.
