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!

May 20,2020 I wish I was at the beach now and sadly this pandemic has grounded us in a lot of ways. The good thing is I have my imagination to help me cope and with the help of fragrances I am taken away to somewhere else and SJP Crush is one that takes me to warm sunny tropics. Coconut water....plain simple refreshing coconut water. I am in LOVE and will definitely be spraying this refreshing fragrance this summer. I do not care if the silage and longevity is not great since I only paid £14 for a 100ML. bottle....and I shall respray to my hearts content! for it immediately takes me to warm sunny beaches....Love love!

This is very buttery, warm, creamy but not very sweet coconut on me. Lasts long, especially on fabric.... Very nice, natural and simple, and I’ve never smelled a suntan oil that was this purely coconut so it doesn’t evoke that for me. Not enough floral element to give off cosmetics vibe. I’d like to wear this alone, but am looking forward to using this as a layering fragrance with oils, lotions, and other fruity scents. Update: wow 😮 this has big sillage and gets very creamy and thick after 30 minutes. It Grows! Over spraying will be a choke out so I’m going light on this.

This is just as beautiful as NYC Pure Crush, if not more so. I'm not really sure if it is exactly the same scent or if it has been tweaked to make it slightly creamier/more vanillic as it does not seem as airy as the Pure Crush - that could just be my imagination working overtime though. Whether it has been tweaked or not, it continues to be a creamy coconut delight that lasts and lasts on my skin and my clothes. Sillage is moderate though. Perfect for summer, or any time of the year in my opinion. Lovely bottle and available for a bargain price if you look around.

I find NYC Crush to be quite an addictive scent and ive been wearing it for 2 days straight and that's not usual for me given my large collection. NCY Crush is an easy to wear light creamy coconut scent with a hint of white florals and some vanilla, it feels like I've just lathered myself in a luxurious coconut body lotion. I think this fragrance depends on your skin chemistry due its softness and in terms of performance on my skin it lasts for about 4-5 hours when I over spray and people will smell you as you walk past as it lingers and floats on the breeze.

Creamy coconut/ vanilla ice cream, on a bottom of very subtle White flowers. It has not got any screaming wow factor... but its REALLY good. Cosy, creamy softness... fluffy as a pillow. Feminine, inoffensive,clean and very pleasant. Use it on days when you simply want to smell good. This scent is one of the best celebrity scents I have smelled. A little but affordable gem. Silage and longevity is both about avarge on my skin. So delicious. If you like Dolce Garden you will also like this one... at half the price.

A lovely, simple scent that surprised me. It's a dry powdery coconut with real emphasis on powder. I was instantly reminded of Valentino Valentina Poudré. I miss that beauty. While SJP NYC Crush doesn't have the depth or complexity of Poudré, it shares enough of the elegant, dry powder to hit the same spot. I don't get any flowers from this. SJP NYC Crush is, on my skin, a linear, simple, coconutty powder. It is light and very wispy yet, on me, it has disproportionately good staying power. I really love it.

I’m a sucker for coconut, but specially when Michigan decides to be summer and it’s hotter than the devils front porch. This is the perfect coconut, it reminds of my long since discontinued Tahitian Coconut from BBW which was divine. Creamy, warm, and makes me feel happy! 3 SJPs in and all loving, she knows how to make perfume. And someone shouldn’t be I’m embarrassed about what perfumes they like or smell good on them, perfume is like Art or Fashion, everyone has their own likes and dislikes.

@DarlingNikki Honestly, the flowers are really subtle - I don't think you need worry that the perfume will turn on you. I'd describe it more as a coconut/vanilla perfume, to be honest. Miffy8900 says the flowers "peep thru" - I agree with her assessment and the flower smells more like magnolia than anything else (to my nose, anyway). I genuinely have a magnolia tree in my garden, which has - literally - just stopped flowering, so the fragrance of the flowers is still fresh in my mind.

NYC Crush smells like a dry, sandalwood and coconut type perfume. Not very unusual these days but behaves like a molecule type perfume where you think it's "light", empty and a bit "not there" but then it comes back and wafts at you all day long. There is a light touch of lime as well. Very nice and transparent. It sneaks up and around you all day. Peek-a-boo type perfume.

Sweet, creamy and delightful. Coconut, vanilla and the feeling of beachy/sunscreen like white florals. Not sure I would use it in summer, more in spring time maybe, but I'm fussy with wearing sweet scents in hot weather. Also many complain about the longevity but it lasts quite a lot on clothes and skin, and projects well, IMO, at least on me. Highlily recommend

Smells exactly how I wanted and expected it to be - shaved coconut flakes on top of a fluffy vanilla cake. It kind of smells like a coconut lacquer as well. The white florals balance everything out so it's not sickly sweet. This is the perfect coconut and vanilla scent! My only complaint is that it doesn't last long or project very well 😢

This is a cool, light and airy coconut with enough vanilla to add sweetness but not enough to add warmth, steering it away from the suntan lotion vibe. It is very pretty and fresh. Longevity is about 8 hours on me, and it feels like a skin scent because it’s so airy, but people pick it up when I walk by. Very pleased with this one.

This is a very nice light skin scent coconut vanilla. I feel fresh, light, summery and clean when i wear this. It also makes me feel warm and cozy. Perfect to use when you just want a nice perfume that is not too overwhelming or cloying. Longevity and sillage is moderate at best. The packaging looks quite unique in my collection.

Light and airy and reminiscent of summer days with drink umbrellas and suntan oil. Lovely, inoffensive everyday perfume that is light on longevity - about 4 hours on me - linear, and oh so pleasant. Will be in my rotation through summer.

This is probably the best coconut perfume I have ever smelled. It is on the sweeter side and with very little projection. On me it stays for long time but very close to the skin. I would definitely recommend 👍😊
