Garden Gangster

What's funny is that although I definitely got the lemon and lime zing at first, I could also smell a green, grassy undertone. The more it wore on me, the more the grassy scent came into play. Now I've got this fantastic fresh cut grass and faint citrus zing thing going on. I haven't been as much of a fan of Gap's re-do of Grass (they added sweeter notes and less grass and soap smells), but this is very close to the original Grass. Who woulda thunk it? Fragrance is so subjective, and I know a lot of people did not like either incarnation, but I'm so excited to have finally found a super close match to a signature scent that has been with me for years. This is clean, uncomplicated, earthy, and bright. Need it.

On me it lasted from the time I put it on in the morning until I went to bed at midnight. Very masculine smelling on me, like a classic eau de cologne. A man who likes fresh classic citrus scents could pull this off. Very similar to how I wear Mandarine Glaciale by Atelier Cologne. Lots of lime and mandarin orange peel. I don't like to wear these type of scents on very hot days though. They turn cloying on me very quickly.

Addendum: for some reason Fragrantica has left out almost all the notes! On the Pinrose website it says Garden Gangster has top notes of lime, Italian bergamot, mandarin; heart notes of freesia, hedione, apple blossom; base notes of white musk and cedarwood.

This is okay, but it isn't for everyone. I have a rollerball from a set, and I'd probably give it away.

Very lemon-y. I tried it in the wipes. It didn't last long. Nothing special to recommend it.

Cute name - this came in a petal pack (towelette samples) from the brand. I found this to be a bitter citrus. I think it was the bitterness that I found most off-putting - just not my thing. (Jan 2017)

This is a really sharp citrus. I like that it's sharp instead of sour, I don't love when citrus fragrances go too sour on me. I do get the lime in here most prominently - it's equal parts cleaner and the fresh tang when you first cut a key lime open. I don't have too much else to say about it, as it's fairly simple. Don't love it, but I don't dislike it, either; sometimes lime fragrances don't sit well with me, but this one is just fine. It's very interesting that someone made a comparison to Coco Mademoiselle - I would never have thought that on my own, but one day while I was wearing this, after at least an hour in, the smell I got wafting really did remind me of the Chanel! It's so interesting how such a plain citrusy perfume could have that effect. Reviewing from a 3 mL rollerball.

Surprised no one mentioned this but this is a dupe for Chanel Coco Mademoiselle in my opinion. I blind bought it from marshalls and after spraying it was like what does this smell like...its that one in my opinion.

Very citrusy, in the opening you can almost taste the lime. It dies pull very masculine so if you like those types Of scents give this a try. Projection is minimal and longevity as well.
