Shawn Mendes Signature

Major dupe for Britney Spears Private Show. Great perfume none the less and I do love it but in terms of smell it's identical to PS by Ms Spears. I love the bottle and I love how it has a story to it compared to Private Show. I love how it features the design of his guitar tattoo and it has a guitar pick on some guitar string (don't know if it's actually guitar string) around the neck of the bottle. Despite starting off as identical to Private Show, the dry down begins to become its own fragrance and about an hour and a half in, the smell of cedar cuts through the caramel smell and you get this sweet scent with some woody noted to it, so yes despite starting off very feminine it does dry down and become a somewhat of a guys scent (depends on who the guy is wearing it and if they can pull it off as it's still very sweet). I own Private Show so I'm still deciding if I will buy Shaun Mendes.

First off, I want to say I do not get the comparison to BS Private Show. I own both these fragrances, I’ve got a spritz of each on separate wrists and they are nothing alike. Private Show is a milky, sugary vanilla coffee bomb with excellent projection. SM Signature is quite a bit more understated, with fruity nuances instead of creamy ones. It’s not a powerhouse. It goes on as a skin scent, and blends nicely with the body chemistry to create a unique version of itself on everyone. I find it to be more in the vein of Prada Candy which it layers with amazingly well! I find it leans towards the feminine side but I’m sure it would smell amazing on a man too. I’m pleased with it because it performs exactly how I expected it to. It’s a pleasant, comfortable fragrance that stays soft and sweet, but isn’t at all a fruit or sugar bomb. Nicely blended.

I got lucky and found a bottle of this at Walmart on clearance a while back, and this is one of the best celebrity perfumes I think I've ever owned. I realize it's marketed as unisex, but I truly don't see how this is unisex. It smells VERY feminine to me. If I knew nothing about this, I'd almost swear it's a Britney Spears flanker of some sort. It's very rich, sweet and gourmand to me. This also has amazing longevity, I spray it in the am and still smell it during the pm. I really like this perfume, it just unfortunate that it's hard to get ahold of from a reputable seller. Appreciate this if you have it, it is SO good!

Quick review, tested this out today.. IMO borders slightly more feminine, (like the vibe you get from Ariana Grande's Franky) but if you're more gender fluid with scents (like me) or like fruity sweet, then I'm sure you'll like this, Spritzed it on got a fruity tart opening with a creamy warm dry down. Felt it didn't last that long but I might need to try it out again..prob wouldn't buy this for myself but if someone gifted it to me I could see my self reaching for it every now & then. In all deff. not a bad scent compared to some other celeb. scents out there.

Mmmm this is definitely a Dulce de Leche dream. If you're a fan of that delicious dessert, Signature is a must-try. To my nose, the dry down is remarkably similar to that burnt sugar smell of Aquolina's Pink Sugar (or maybe Gold? one of those! lol) but slightly less burnt-sweet and more fruity-sweet. This lasts at least 6 hours on my skin, and even after it turns into a skin scent it's DELICIOUS. There is nothing that would be considered traditionally masculine or even unisex about this scent but who cares, wear whatever smells good to you :)
