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. Scent 7/10 Sillage 6/10 Longevity 7/10

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 :)

bought this on a whim, i have absolutely no love for shawn mendes but this perfume is so nice. the pyramid for it on here is spot on, i adore the pineapple/maple/dulce de leche combination. light and gently sweet. i think it's a bit more on the "feminine" side as far as unisex fragrances go, but that shouldn't stop you from wearing this if you're a guy and you like this.

I wore this when I was 15 until I was 16 and then it was no longer sold anywhere. Really sad. It's delicious and warm, but fruity and cinnamon scented. It's perfectly unisex and has a perfect run time. I miss it. So nostalgic. I'm now 20. At the time I was also a huge Shawn Mendes fan. His newest one that came out after this one was TERRIBLE compared to this one.

it starts off citrusy, but it is the dry down I remember; sweet, warm, soft. the smell of my childhood best friend. i bought this on ebay after it was discontinued. I like having the memories stored in a little bottle. to me, this is the smell of comfort and safety. a warm hug from a beautiful girl. holding in laughs at the dinner table. i will keep this forever

I think this fragrance has a really unique personality; it is fruity and milky, and with the maple syrup (nod to Shawn's Canadian heritage) it kind of lands somewhere in the pineapple-upside-down-cake arena. I love blending this with other fluffy or fruity gourmands like Innocent by Mugler which has an almond cream note, to make this last a bit longer.

this scent is great I dont know why all the hate this is up there with the ysl's, and Armani codes, etc and the sillage this thing is a powerhouse radiates off my skin I would def buy smells great dont listen to the hate plus for the price why wouldn't you get this.oh and I really dont see how this is unisex

Nice fragrance. Sweet smelling, more toward feminine but it's cool that it's being marketed to both genders. I do like It, but as was pointed out to me, it doesn't last very long. It's also very light smelling so that may have something to do with it. But I'm not a hater.

oh my gosh! Y'all were not lying. This lil boy's fragrance smells like Private Show which is one of my favorites of all time! I didn't even know who this kid was and found out I'm damn near old enough to be his mother haha. I love this fragrance, though. 10/10 for me

I really like this perfume. It's more a male fragrance but they decide to make it a bit softer so the girls can buy it and dream about wearing on their skin their favorite singer.. it's marketing, they were smart to make it like this.

A stunning triple-knockout combo of delicious dulce de leche, pineapple and floral frangipani. We have a winner. Ignore the label (I've never heard of Shawn or his 'music') and enjoy the scent. A must for gourmand lovers.

Familiar creamy yellow frangipani women's fragrance scent profile BUT with a TON of gourmand added. Maple syrup and the fruits really come through. So yummy...

@Fragrantguy - I don't know where you live but if it's in Australia, Chemist Warehouse and My Beauty Spot stock this fragrance :)

One word-LUX! Sweet,sweet,sweet LUXURY fragrance,nothing like I have smelled before <3 Gorgeous!

That perfume is so unique. I love it and it's one of my top 5

This will always have a special place in my heart because I used it before coming out. It was the last fragrance I used while being closeted. Why did I gravitate towards it? In retrospect, I think it was because of what Shawn Mendes (at the peak of his fame) was going through in the media (speculation of his sexual orientation) in a way reflected what I was going through in my personal life. I remembered loving this because it smelled like Private Show by Britney Spears (who I was a fan of) and I could get away with having a bottle of Shawn Mendes Signature in my dresser without dirty looks or questions of "WHY DO YOU HAVE A BRITNEY SPEARS FRAGRANCE?". Fast forward to almost 8 years: I forgot about this fragrance and saw a box of it in a fragrance store. I can't tell you the rush of memories and feelings I felt while looking at the box. I'm debating if I should go and buy it, but that would mean reliving one of the most complicated times of my life. I think I will go buy it and use it as a reminder of the challenges I endured and the strength I found in overcoming them, all because of my sexuality Recently, I went to one of his concerts because he was presenting 4 minutes from where I live. It was like seeing an old friend, a celebrity whose fragrance helped me, in a way, be more confident in myself and smell "sweeter" than your average Paco Rabanne alpha male fare. Wrote this review because of EPTrails review, 2 reviews down. It's insane how much we attach experiences to fragrances.

So I received a sample from this fragrance and was immediately intrigued: for his & her. I love a good unisex perfume! However, to my nose it smells like the name is derived from the marketing department rather than the the scent itself. It opens bold and sweet, quite strong but not sharp. Pretty soon it settles down and the sillage becomes soft; it also does not last too long. The scent has a familiar ring to it, but cannot put my finger on it. In other reviews I noticed people mentioned Britney Spears, I never had that one so wouldn’t know about that. Maybe it’s simply the dominant dulce leche, though I can’t say this perfume is standard either. All in all, I like it but would not buy it. Though it is too sweet for my taste, other people may disagree and secretly I sometimes have a sweet tooth has well. To me, the problem is more that of the poor longevity and soft sillage; if you make an out-speaking fragrance, go all the way! Like La Vie est Belle did. You may add: 'but this is a celebrity fragrance, you cannot expect the same of it as a celebrated perfume house'. Well, you’d be perfectly right. Nevertheless, with the price this perfume is currently advertised for where I live, one may expect quality more in that direction as well.
