Lil' Dipper

On me this is an almost identical dupe of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre. It’s uncanny! I like that this line is made to layer. I combined it with Pillowtalk Poet and am loving it. Update: I agree with others about longevity issues--this should last longer for the price. STILL, it has turned into an obsession. This is EXACTLY like Chance Eau Tendre on me. However, my friend tried it on and it was like she'd sprayed an entirely different perfume, so this one may be very, very chemistry-dependent. Update to the update: layer this with SUN SAINT, get dolled up and hit the town on a hot summer night and prepare to feel like a million bucks. This is THE combo.

Smells good but longevity and sillage are terrible. 3 sprays on the wrist barely lasted an hour and I could only smell it with my nose right to it. If anyone has suggestions for similar smells please post! Looks like I'll be smelling that Chanel one soon.

Delicious: great balance of herbal and floral. It smells fresh like a dewy spring garden. Subtle without strong sillage or longevity, but will probably be my new workday staple for spring.

Pinrose is in some serious need of help in the longevity department, these are more fleeting than almost everything I've tried, including body sprays and solid perfumes. I absolutely think we should get more endurance for the cost. But beside that...I can't begin to downplay it, I like this fragrance quite a bit. Lil' Dipper is super nice, and super easygoing, and really fresh for the first 15 minutes. I normally don't fall hard for apple, but dare I say it...I like the green apple tone of this more than Light Blue (which I recently tried and enjoyed more than I remembered doing in years past, maybe my taste is changing?). I do think the inclusion of lavender is what's doing it for me, this is like sipping a bright apple tonic in a clean T-shirt, on the porch, on a mellow spring day 🍋🍏🌸 Peony isn't all that noticeable to me, but it's a background singer. In all honestly, and none of those base notes exist IMO. I don't think this smells like any of the Chance fragrances, and I actually like this more than them as well. It's beating out many of the freshies I've sampled. Yes...it fades unacceptably quickly, but my heavens, that 15 minutes is blissful. If I find this in a bargain bin, I'll swoop in for it.

I like this one a lot. It smells fresh to me but not overly sharp, a bit of flowers, feminine but a little more buzzy and energetic than the wedding-day florals that I usually enjoy. Some days that's what I want. My MIL wears something that smells very similar to this (no idea what, sorry, but I'd bet money it was Eau Tendre!) and she buys very expensive perfumes. I don't consider it super cheap, but I know in the fragrance world $90 (I've seen it on sale for $75) is not too shabby. It's fresh enough to give a nice bracing bergamot-powered lift to a winter day, and you won't smell out of place like a summer garden, but it is light enough for spring and summer. A good year-round scent to me. I feel the sillage is fine, but I like scents to be more intimate. Might be too weak for some, and for the price I agree it should be a bit stronger. look for the sale price or on ebay!
