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.

Another successful blind buy! I love everything about this perfume - from the delicious true-to-notes fragrance to the kitschy bottle. And completely inexpensive! I don't have anything like this in my collection, and yeah, I do see people comparing it to Yara, which I also own - and I kinda, sorta catch a few whiffs of something slightly similar, but they're not sisters or even cousins. Yara is way fruitier leaning strawberry milkshake whereas this one with the marshmallow, vanilla and almond milk is sweet caramel/toffee. It's divine. I get moderate to strong longevity and sillage - pretty impressive at this price point. I don't really get any vodka/booziness from this - just cosy sweetness.

A straightforward light, tender, gentle and not too sweet milky vanilla almond scent. It's so, so light and airy and easy to wear. A very warm and transparent gourmand. The vodka lasts less than 10 seconds on me (or perhaps I'm anosmic to it), and as far as I'm concerned if a note is that brief, it can hardly be considered a note. Doesn't smell artificial or sugary, just a very subtle, tender almond milk with warm vanilla syrup and cozy white musks. And thankfully, no citrus or floral notes! Just picked a bottle up and so excited to spray it on lavishly when I don't know what to wear. It's so gentle and intimate.

A gentle, soft, and seamlessly blending fragrance. Exceptionally feminine and elegant. It feels light as a cloud, with notes of amber and musk gently caressing the skin afterward. I've been wanting it for a long time without testing it first, and I received it as a gift. A very lucky find that I highly recommend. Perfect for spring and summer days. There’s also a slight gourmand touch at the beginning, thanks to the marshmallow in the top notes. Longevity – 9/10 (my skin usually doesn’t hold scents well, but this one lasts beautifully) Scent – 10/10 – subtle, soft, and dreamy I love it!

this is really good!! people who said this smells similar to yara and cheriosa 62 are spot on, i mean as soon as i sprayed this for the first time. all i could smell was yara & marshmallows. it then drys down to tangerine and and vodka. after that, i get that cheriosa 62 smell. and then when its worn for a few more minutes/hours, it smells like almond milk, a little amber, vanilla & marshmallows. and then i just smell yara. like thats it. it smells identical to yara 🫧 this is really good for all seasons in my opinion! it lasts a while, if you spray a good amount.

😍Flirty Gourmand Scent😍 This fragrance smells like a creamy vanilla milkshake sprinkled with marshmallow toppings. Upon spraying, the vodka note will tickle your nose and in seconds you’ll be encapsulated with a flirty and creamy vanilla aroma. After drying down the silage is that of pillowy marshmallows. It’s not a childish gourmand as the vodka note gives it a sexy-flirty edge. The Sillage is great! before leaving my place & my neighbour texted me: “You were in the lift? I could smell you”. The scent also lasts long , I didn’t need to top up after 5/6 hours.

This is a very nice, affordable fragrance. It's sweet. I definitely smell marshmallows and vanilla. I get a little almond too. Despite the sweetness, this fragrance is airy and feels almost fluffy. I reminds me a little of Lattafa's Yara, but I much prefer this one. It's not complicated. It's very much a simple and easy to wear scent. Quite enjoyable. The performance is moderate. I'm indifferent to the bottle design. It's cute but it's a pain to store in my large collection. Longevity: 6/10 Projection: 6/10 Overall Experience: 8/10

Нежен, мек, преливащ се аромат. Изключително женствен и елегантен. Усеща се лек като облак, а нотките от абра и мускус нежно галят кожата след това. От доста време го исках, не го бях тествана преди това и ми беше подарен. Много добро попадение, което препоръчвам. Разкошен за пролетни и летни дни. Ама и леко гурме ухание в началото, от присъстващия маршмелоу във връхните нотки. Трайност - 9/10 (моята кожа не задържа аромати по принцип, но този се задържа отлично) Аромат - 10/10 - ненатрапчив, мек и мечтателски

Vodka has a smell. It smells like... vodka. Like hot bearded Russian men, and dancing bears, in snow. My favorite of all the liquors, and I drink it straight on the rocks. (Or used to, when I didn't give a fuck about brain cells.) Even flavored vodka, smells like "insert flavor here" AND vodka. So, Kids, I wouldn't recommend drinking vodka at school, at work, or as a way to hide your alcoholism. Unless, you like failure and shame? Edited to add: in response to AlaskanAngel in the review below.

Wow! This fragrance is stunning! It’s sweet but not too heavy. The marshmallow and the almond notes really come through and the vanilla is perfectly blended as well. The tangerine is subtle but makes it more of a light gourmand. The bottle is beautiful and high quality. The longevity is fantastic. The dry down fades out perfectly. I am so happy I did not put off purchasing this beauty any longer. And I will definitely be looking at the others in the line.

This is strait up Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 to my nose! It smells sweet, edible, powdery, you really get that sugared almond milk note. Great sillage and longevity for this price. I don't see that much in common with Yara Lattafa. This one is so much more almondy (luckily not as a medicinal cherry note which usually happens with almond notes), whereas Yara is more strawberry milkshake like. I have a backup of this fragrance since I love it so much!

This reminds me of Marks Instant Vacation. I can't compare them side by side as I no longer have Instant Vacation but when I smelled this it really took me back. The notes are very different but this smells tropical and coconutty to me, possibly just because of the association to Instant Vacation. This is a summer scent to me. It's not very strong, it sits close to the skin, it lasts about 5 or 8 hours.

I bought this in my quest to find a replacement for B&BW Cashmere Glow, and although it's not exact, it is GORGEOUS and I will absolutely continue to wear it. I'm so excited to have found it. Similarly warm and fruity, with an incredible softness. It's not that the scent isn't strong, it's that it creates a beautiful soft aura around you. Obsessed with this one.

As a sweet, gourmand perfume lover, THIS IS SOO GOOD. The first thing i smell is the sweet vanilla, a lil bit musky. Smell vodka a bit but not that noticable. Its smells sweet but not that teenagers kinda sweet, perfect for young adults. The packaging is too cute! My current fav perfume!

I don't think it's similar to yara! Yara is a strawberry milkshake or strawberry ice cream kind of vanilla scent. Pepe Jeans is boozy and less sweet. It's boozy ambery and powdery vanilla. A word apart. It's blending is also better than yara. And the presentation of yara is ugly!

I love this! A very interesting take on a vanilla fragrance, the vodka note is such a fun surprise! Because of that and the cocktail shaped bottle, it's more of a fun summery fragrance, but it could also work in winter! So affordable and lasts a long time on me!
