SJP NYC Crush

Miffy8900's review below is really all anyone needs to read when considering whether to buy this perfume or not, but I'll add my two penn'orth anyway... I am not a perfume snob and own and wear a wide variety of perfumes - from those available from the local chemist to expensive niche and designer brands. I love some "challenging" perfumes - Lutens' Serge Noire, for example - but sometimes I don't want to be challenged by my perfume or consider what image I want to project. Sometimes I "just" want to smell nice. SJP NYC Crush scratches that itch. I spritzed NYC Crush twice on the back of my left hand, where it left a slightly oily sheen. It opens with a very coconutty punch, which is quite sweet, although not sickeningly so. The coconut is tamed after about an hour and the perfume is then predominantly a soft vanilla, with just a trace of coconut, with hints of white flowers (I am definitely picking up magnolia - our tree has virtually finished flowering now, and the scent of the flowers is still fresh in my mind). I've washed my hands twice since spritzing and the perfume is still clearly discernible, which I feel I should mention, as it's probable the coconut opening would be more prolonged if the perfume had been left undisturbed. I paid £10 sterling for 100ml and it's worth considerably more than that - it does NOT smell cheap and it's a lovely perfume for summer days, as it's not too sweet or cloying. Well worth a punt and a good blind buy for the price - if you don't like it, it should be easy enough to find someone else to pass it along to who'll appreciate it for what it is - a simple, lighthearted, sweet and girly perfume. Oh - when I say "girly" I should point out that I just mean that it's a simple perfume, not that I am suggesting it should be worn exclusively by young women - I'm 55 in November and intend to rock SJP NYC Crush whenever I damn well please!

My search for the perfect coconut perfume is over!!! SJP nyc crush is the best coconut perfume I have ever smelt. It smells like pure, fresh, creamy, milky coconut with a hint of vanilla. Then after a couple hours it starts to get sweeter, but not too sweet where it’s sickly. It’s just right. I don’t get any white flowers at all. This is predominantly coconut! If you love coconut notes then this perfume is for you. It lasts several days when sprayed onto clothes and about 7 hours when on the skin. The only downside is when you first spray it, the alcohol smell is very strong. It takes about a minute or so for that to disappear. However, this does not really bother me as it’s such a good perfume and like I said, the alcohol smell disappears. When I ordered this I wasn’t too keen on the packaging, I thought it was just a plastic pink bottle. It’s actually leather packaging and you can even take the perfume bottle out of the pink packaging. I decided to leave it because it actually looks okay. Overall, this perfume is pure coconut goodness which surprised me because I wasn’t expecting much as it’s a celebrity scent. I’ve even ordered two backups just in case lol. I LOVE it.

I was kind of embarrassed to admit really liking this as a summer scent because it is so cheap to buy-but then I came on here and I see it has some fans too.. First few seconds after spraying its all coconut which then fortunately fades into the background allowing the vanilla and white flowers to develop on my skin into a sensuous warmth after about half an hour. I also like that it’s more of a skin scent so only me-and those very close to me-get to enjoy it. I loathe perfume which punches you and everyone within 50m with all its strength! I know some here don’t like the bottle but I really do. It’s chic and I like the good solid click the lid makes when it closes. So overall, absolutely a keeper. It’s been my go-to daytime perfume during this very hot weather - I find myself reaching for it every day now. Thanks SJP-its another surprisingly good celebrity scent (normally I avoid them like the plague)!

“What smells like coconut?” Jubilliant: “I love coconut!” “That would be me!” I say, satisfied that yet another of SJP’s fragrances have proven to be monsters of longevity. First words out of the mouth of one of my colleagues, standing an easy 6 feet away from me. That, along with, “Yeh, it kinda reminds me of that they use on a suf boawd,” should give you an idea of the dominant notes in this absolutely, unequivocally coconut-to-the-max juice (she’s Australian, and if anyone can vouch for the smell of surfboard wax, it’s definitely her.) Looking for a dreamy coconut perfume with strong sillage, longevity and a certain surfboard wax appeal? Yes? This is it, Mr. Magoo, this is it. Other notes play massive second fiddle to the coconut. Really, in my opinion, the coconut is the only note that really matters. It’s not too saccharine, either. It’s a refined coconut—but unmistakably coconut nevertheless.

SO WORTH IT FOR ANY AND ALL COCONUT LOVERS. Of course it doesn't smell high end or luxurious but ill take this over any cheaper teenager style body sprays woman douche themselves in. Bright coconut, but delicious and creamy as it dries down. Some white florals but mostly watery in beginning, I will say the dry down is pure white florals and coconut. I got a paper sample and carelessly threw it into my desk drawer at work, and as the days passed by I was enthralled in finding what Smelled soooo GOOD. I could not figure out what that sweet coconutty smell was from. I almost flipped my desk upside down trying to find the source. How could such a tiny little strip of paper smell so good for weeks on END? Im guilty I bought 3 bottles in the next week. LOVE!
