SJP NYC

Why oh why is there so much criticism about NYC??? Nearly all of you say it is so compote-ish, dull, non-appealing etc. While I appreciate all of us have different tastes, I truly believe that majority of you, posting reviews here, are simply prejudiced towards Sarah; do not like her as an actress and so let this bias your opinion and cloud your judgement about her fragrances. Let's put our Sarah's likes and dislikes aside. She is not yet another celeb perfume designer producing tons of boring crap; she created some of the most appealing fragrances, such as niche-y Covet, classy Lovely or mature Twilight. When creating NYC - what was on Sarah's mind was fun, flirt, youth breeze and you all go on and on and on about how girlish NYC is. It is because that was the very intention of Sarah! To bring our youth out and to wake the girly side of every, even the most mature, woman up!!!! Geee, I am so fed up reading that NYC sucks, yet hardly any of you have anything to say other than it is meh, blah etc. What on earth did you expect????? A Chanel No5 alike in Sarah's cartoon-colourful bottle????? That fragrance is a typical ''what you see is what you get'' fragrance - a colourful, youthful, cheerful, breezy, very interesting floral fruity with better staying power than most of the perfumes in my collection. In NYC - Gardenia and Osmanthus meet Wild Strawberry...they all sit on a rose petal while sipping a glass of rum and munching vanilla pod as the time goes by....And this party lasts a long time...at least 8 hours :-) It is a brilliant logetivity for an EDT!!! I see here nothing artificial and find it quite offensive to call NYC a ''compote''. It is a truly great fragrance - probably one of the best fruity florals I have ever worn. I shall give it 10 out of 10. And by the way, I am not that fond of Sarah but I don't want anyone question the great job she's done here :-) It may appeal or not appeal to you but please refrain from using childish statements when describing the fragrance. Try it a few times before you cross it out from your life and criticise it all the way. Strenght and lasting power, to me, is great. The bottle cheers me up every time I look at it. It is just as funny as Lola or Daisy, but far more practical :-) NYC is a great one!!!! By the way - I am in my thirties and when wearing NYC, it makes me feel youthful, not childish :-)

MMM I LOVE this! Its one of my favourite scents to wear during both summer and winter seasons. Its soo comforting and smells yummy! Initially when it first came out a few years ago, i tried it at the department store and it smelled very ordinary, like many other fruity perfumes out there. Recently,i saw it on a sale at Priceline and thought i'd give this one another try. I sprayed it on my wrists and still, it was the same fruity burst i experienced a few years ago. HOWEVER, after walking around in the mall, the perfume settled down into a nice creamy vanilla-musky scent. I simply could not stop smelling myself! It smelled sooo goooood! This perfume was somewhat magical! I should have allowed it some time to develop into its true scent a few years back when i first tried it. Now i realize how beautiful SJP NYC is. I immidiately went back to Priceline and got the full 100ml bottle! Sillage is great, lasts for about 4-5 hours without having to reapply. The plastic bottle looks kinda funky lol! All in all, no regrets getting SJP NYC. Everything deserves a second chance!

I loved this fragrance the moment I sprayed it. On me, it's all about the lush, sweet fruits. This is a very clean and definitely fruity floral. Florals don't often work all that well on me--and often give me a bad headache--but I found this one works VERY well (and no headache). The florals round the scent out and keep it from being sickly sweet. The first hour or so, I only get juicy, ripe fruits. After a few hours (say 2 or 3), the florals come out, but I also get sandlewood and a bit of musk. I don't get much vanilla with this, and may layer it with pure vanilla by Lavanila. Projects well and lasts about 8 hours for me. After the first 4, it's closer to the skin but still projecting. All-in-all, I love this fragrance and will make it my everyday/daytime fragrance. I get how this fragrance could be linear, but I just don't get that "linear" smell with this--at least, I didn't on myself.

There's a glass bottle inside the plastic case, just in case anyone is under the impression that the bottle is plastic - it's not. I keep my bottles in a cabinet, so I don't care what they look like. This smells terrific! I get compliments on it every time I wear it - not from across the room, but most people who come within a foot or so of me tell me how good I smell when I wear this. Fruity, lightly floral and well-balanced. I don't think it smells like "little girl" perfume, but it could easily be worn by the young and young at heart alike. It holds up well in heat, neither withering nor expanding, and lasts a reasonably long time (a few hours). It's not a "serious" scent, but a scent doesn't have to be serious to be lovely, now does it? And this scent is just that: lovely and fun!

One of my favourite perfumes of ALL TIME! <3 I know it's a cheapie, but it was love at first smell in 2018. I am a huge fan of summery/fruity/tropical fragrances that are mostly refreshing but with a hint of sweetness. This one is so divine to me! Not cloying, not overly synthetic-smelling, not headache-inducing or sickly sweet, it is sheer heaven. Makes me think of cooling down with a dip in a tropical ocean, with your sexy lover. It also has a lot of sentimental connotations for me, as I discovered it just before I met my partner and sensed something delicious coming in. Honestly, it intoxicates me and has received a lot of compliments. It would be amazing if a high end fragrance house could make something really close, but of a far better quality and sophistication.
