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.

This screams spring, but can be a year round fragrance. This is the embodiment of feminine. It’s lush and airy with a,little powder, but not in a “perfumey” way. In a soft and fluffy way. It fits its name. Love this one. Don’t care as much for the original. The original is an ok scent, just not my cup of tea, but this is heavenly.

This is the best perfume that SJP made imo. The OG Lovely smells way too masculine and patchouli-like to me. Lovely You, however, is very feminine and powdery. Instant love. A baby powder soft cloud. Sooooo good. It doesn't last long, but it's not expensive so I don't mind having to keep spraying

I love this perfume. I got it for Christmas. It smells comforting, vintage and classic. It's baby powder but so much more. Perfectly blended and somehow familiar. I will definitely purchase it again in the future.

This is so gorgeous. I can't stop sniffing my wrist. Watery flowers and benzoin made this so unique smelling. There is a tiny resemblance to glow by jlo, but this smells a lot better...

I adore this perfume! It reminds me of a nice white musk with added goodness. It's a light, non offensive scent. Great for every occasion in my opinion! I hope it's never discontinued!

This is beautiful. It’s the type of fragrance that makes you close your eyes and smell it over and over. I envision a freshly washed baby when I smelled this. Get it. You’ll love it

It reminds me of something but I can't remember what it is, it's a sweet, very floral, very fresh/light plum powder. Nice everyday scent, good choice. 9/10, the bottle is perfect.

Beautiful bottle and fragrance. Soft musky, floral fragrance which sadly doesn't appear to last very long which is a great pity as i adore it.

A sheer version of Jovan musk. Overspraying is recommended. Great post-shower scent. Baby powder is the quintessential feminine smell.

A cross between kiehl's musk spray and jovan white musk. But very light and a skin scent. Baby powdery but in an adult way.

This is very dreamy and powdery. If serenity had a scent this would be it. It smells like "cotton", I mean the way products named "cotton" usually smell like. It smells quite mature imo though, not juvenile. It would be suitable for older women too that dont want to smell like "date night" or seductive. It is very elegant. If you have a baby and you want to smell like a sweet, kind "mom" this is it. I dont pick up much of the white flowers listed, other than some of the jasmine blended so well with the benzoin and musk, while the plum blossom and orchid give it its unique powdery character, almost like violet or lavender but lavender can be deep, nauseating even masculine to me sometimes. This scent is a peaceful white room with fluffy blue curtains, on a spring day's afternoon, the calming coo sounds of doves fill the room, and there's an open scented powder sitting on top of the vanity next to the open window, imagine Woods of Windsor type of dusting powder, and some spring time breeze coming in picking up the powder scent mixed with some jasmine from the garden. That is spring time coziness and bliss and this perfume is exactly that. I consider it in the same family of perfumes like Jennifer's Lolavie (no resemblance tho), the very powdery soft scents that remind you of dolls, or babies (like a reviewer mentions below about this fragrance "washed baby" :). Longevity of the mist is alright on me but the fragrance performs way better. I was not a fan of the original Lovely. But this one is truly lovely. Safe blind buy if you like calming, powdery scents. Update: the drydown is phenomenal,not as powdery anymore, it is mostly peony, benzoin, vanilla orchid (one of my favorite creamy notes). This has become a favorite, even more than Born Lovely and I never expected that. The bottle's colors with the glitter is also stunning. 10/10

Ok, so after initially smelling nothing when I tried to test this at Kohl’s... I tried again earlier today. I still could barely get much scent through my mask, but I did get a little waft of something when I lifted my mask away a bit for a second. And the very light scent that I did finally get was utter HEAVEN! As I said in a previous “review” of this, the original Lovely is my signature scent. But this, oh my, this could knock the original out. Alas, it won’t though because while this is just beautiful, it is indeed very light, which is why I got almost nothing when trying to smell through a mask. And longevity and silage are pretty poor, maybe 1 hour on my skin, with not much scent trail to speak of. It’s truly a shame because this scent is of such good quality otherwise. This is truly a flanker of Lovely. The DNA is all there, they share a particular musk that is one of most beautiful musks I’ve ever smelled. This is powdery, but powdery done in the best way. It is not dry, but very creamy. It is just all soft, beautiful, clean smelling skin. I could imagine this as being named something like “Lovely Skin”, but Lovely You sounds nicer 😉. Very much like a freshly washed baby as handkmommy has said below. I adore this. I got a 1.7 oz bottle and the body’s mist for a song at around $20. I love it so much I don’t care how much I will need to reapply. And I will already buy a back up... you know, just in case!

Okay, so I've had nothing but success with the Lovely line-up. Each one offers something for a different mood (even if some of those moods are super similar and only subtle desires differentiate them) and this one is no different... and is also sort of no different from about 3 or 4 other super cheap white musk fragrances with a tiny nail polish remover aspect in the background (which I love by the way, I'm not being ironic). You *need* this if: 1.) You love white musk fragrances and tiny differences amongst super similar fragrances is good enough or great for you 2.) You want to complete the Lovely collection. You probably won't be disappointed. It's not entirely offensive unless you dislike clean scents. 3.) You have no white musk scents and want an easy introduction that isn't weak, low in projection or animalic. 4.) You like the pretty bottle (it's $10 for 30mL it won't break the bank) OR you want a fragrance bottle that calls you Lovely whenever you wear it (through non-moving, stationary text. it's not going to speak to you, sadly) Overall it's probably the least original offering in the line, but I like White Musk (Jovan) and so owning a less fruity version of that works for me. I still prefer "Born" and "Sheer", though.

The initial spray was very sharp and I distinctly smelled cinnamon!?! I thought this was going to end up being a warm fall/winter fragrance! But less than 30 seconds later, it settled into a soft, slightly spicy musk! Nothing at all what I initially smelled. It’s very pretty and soft. It’s a great cozy day around the house scent unless you prefer to wear a soft fragrance. I actually don’t get a lot of the powdery accord- maybe a bit, but not like baby powder, more like a makeup pressed powder. If you’re looking for a powdery scent, Lovely lights was way more powdery in my opinion. This is pretty but so far, of the flankers I have purchased, I still adore the original! There isn’t much of the original DNA in this. It’s its own fragrance. I personally think it’s a bit too soft for me, I prefer a bit of a louder scent. However, this would be a great bedtime scent for me! I find it a pretty, relaxing scent!

I got this scent years ago as part of a subscription box. At the time, I kind of hated it. I would try it occasionally, but it reminded me of old ladies. The opening is sharp with white florals riding a harsh alcohol base. I think I usually washed it off before the dry down, or didn't use enough to notice it. Now, years later, since I've begun collecting perfumes, I've saved this and added it to my spring collection. I find that when I use it in the context of other scent profiles and seasonality, I can appreciate it for what it is. The floral opener is still a bit sharp to my nose, but the baby powder and musk dry down is refreshing and clean. It seems to last until the next day, which can't be said for a lot of my scent collection. It's still not a favorite for me, but it's really grown on me. Just goes to show that noses can change.
