Lovely You

So I picked this up finally at Kohl's now that it is making it's rounds to the stores. Still not on SJPbeauty websites yet though. First let me say this bottle...wow. The most beautiful "LOVELY" bottle yet. It's a shame they aren't making a 3.4 oz of this because this bottle is a stunner. It's kind of a copper/gold plated bottle, with a beautiful amber rose glitter lacquer all over the bottom, with the signature lovely bubble glass topper, and the spray atomizer is a heavy brassy gold with the SJP stamp on the top. BEAUTIFUL bottle. The lettering on the front in the frosted grey/beige is just timeless. The fragrance is HEAVILY powdery. Instantly brings "baby powder" scent to the forefront for me. It's like the first "baby powder" scent that's done "RIGHT". Many try to do "baby powder" and it's just synthetic. As per usual with SJP she really does the goods with her fragrances, and this compilations got the goods. The olfactory layers are brilliant. Baby powder softness, with that familiar MUSK that all LOVELY scents have (Lovely, Sheer, Born) and throws in a soft white floral as well on dry down. The "plum" note is not coming out at all on me, nor is the vanilla. Just floral's and baby powdered musk. Soft, intimate, and professional. Another "WINNER" in the SJP lineup.

Wow I'm impressed by SJP perfumes,I've been a Stella Macartney wearer,but her line has really reduced (Stella is no more)so I've had to look elsewhere for cruelty free. I have the original Lovely which I love to wear in the cooler weather or bedtime but I wanted to try another in the range,and liked the sound of Lovely you.I think this is a skin scent which I like,it does nt seem to have loads of projection,but if you get close it's there,my husband said after a shower and a spray,"you smell nice,you smell REALLY nice" I get the soft musk,the benzoin I normally don't like vanilla but it's just a hint and gives some warmth.The florals are there but for me not loud.I think this has sexy mum vibe,to me it's a comforting,freshly washed linen,powder with a hint of warm loveliness on the dry down.Ill be wearing this on a autumn lunch out, moving into winter it's more cool weather for me,or an evening scent.Now need to find a SJP that will work for me in the spring summer.

Nina (a few reviews down) is absolutely correct. If there ever was to be an adult baby powder, it would smell like Lovely You, yet there's something a bit sexy about this pink floral, musky, powdery softness. It is not musky in the same way as Narciso fragrances which I prefer. This is 100% for the person who loves powdery or musky scents. I can't imagine if offending anyone, maybe those who want strong projection/ longevity might be unhappy. I layer it with my strong powdery fragrances during the day (soft projection) to make them more crowd pleasing and wear it every night to bed, sniffing myself. Standalone this fragrance is a skin scent, it projects within the first 10 seconds and then settles quite quicky. It is more musky than floral or powdery (think Katy Perry Indi) and very soft. Longevity on skin is lacklustre. I won't be repurchasing, almost through my bottle.

Soft cocoon. This is delicately sweet, creamy, clean, soapy, powdery and musky. The silage is very weak as is the longevity on skin. I am not a wearer of scent to bed but because of the silage and longevity this is ideal for after the shower before bed, so that’s how I’m using it. As it doesn’t last it doesn’t keep my nose up all night. It stays around just long enough to lull you to sleep. I spray it on the lapels of my pyjamas, to improve longevity and so I can bury my nose as I drift off. It is comforting and a bit nostalgic. It has a cocooning effect and I think it might actually help with inducing sleep faster. As the review below mentions, it does have a baby powder aspect. Maybe that adds to the almost being rocked to sleep sensation this gives. A scent lullaby. 🤍🍼🧴🫧😴

I told my sister that if the powder blue colour had a scent, this must be it. It reminds me of my aunt's favourite Jovan Musk / White Musk, but this one's softer, mellower. This is a bedtime scent for me as it helps me relax. I noticed that after 2 hours, it stayed close to the skin, and I could barely smell it anymore; I can't complain though as it's not expensive anyway.
