Simone

This has quickly moved into my "top 10 for life" scents, Simone is a true fresh fruity scent but has been done so well, that it does not smell juvinile or cheap. Tocca scents arent widely available here in the UK so this was a blind buy, a very successful one at that too! Simone opens up in such a refreshing way; cooling watermelon and green apple are the first notes that jump out at me with a light dusting of fresh lemon zest, it never veers into body spray territory on me and it never smells like a cheap shower gel. Floral notes emerge and harmoniously blend with the fresh, aquatic notes in the opening, I mainly get freesia and a little frangipani and towards the end a little ylang ylang pops out. I should also point out that the freesia in Simone isn't screechy or sharp, its very well blended and smooth here. Simone dries down to a delightful fruity musk on my skin with some soft woodsy notes, but, it never smells stale, its maintains its freshness throughout wear and feels uplifting while doing so. Silage is soft and longevity is ok on me, it lasts about 5 hours, that being said its fresh softness makes Simone and excellent summer choice as it never gets cloying and also makes it perfect for office wear. In my mind, I can picture someone wearing a crisp, white button down shirt with beachy waves, a nice pair of jeans and ballet flats or converse walking through Bath during a warm spring/summer day, it literally is that relaxed but elegant vibe bottled and I LOVE it! Future repurchase and so far I cannot stop myself from reaching for it, big, fat, HUGE love!

Crisp apple, realistic lemon, and refreshing watermelon. Aquatic and transparent. Tart but not sour. Romantic and classy without trying too hard. Projection is intimate but it holds up in the heat and lasts around 4 hours. The watermelon and ozonic notes are the most prominent. The lemon and apple are fleeting and the florals are very subtle. Simone reminds me of Aqua di Goria but without saltiness, or Dolce and Gabbana’s L’lmeperatrice but without the sourness. When I smell this, I imagine a sweet modest girl dressed in a cottage core dress tending her garden. This is a feminine and versatile perfume that can take you from the office to your lunch date. And the heavy glass bottle is beautiful; I could see on Elizabeth Bennet’s vanity. Some layering combinations that I suggest trying : Quai St. Bartz, La Monde Gourmand Fraise Fouette and Being Frenshie Desert Rose. 8/10.

I ordered the mini sample set because I was in the mood to try perfumes with floral/fruity notes, and this one is my favorite of the set, I just love it. I don't easily love any perfume, mostly because of the dry down which often turns scents into something I dislike/hate, but this one stays really nice all the way along. In fact, I think it reminds me of Creed Spring Flower, which I also love and currently I'm wearing one on one arm and one on the other arm because I'm trying to fix the sprayer on the Creed bottle. There is definitely something similar about them. Anyway I will finish my little sample to make sure but I'm pretty sure right now that I would buy a full bottle of Simone (I thought it was Limone at first because the S looks like an L to me, and I think Limone is a better name for it so I'm calling it that, lol).

This is such a beautiful scent. It is primarily floral to my nose, and the watery fruity notes uplift the florals with a light, aquatic feel. I don't really get watermelon exactly, which maybe is a good thing since I was expecting a childish Jolly Rancher scent - but I do get a vague sweet fruity scent underlining the florals. I definitely get the ylang ylang and frangipani, which add a creamy tropical facet to the scent. This would be such a good beach vacation scent. I'll admit you could probably find body sprays which smell similar, but all of the fruity-floral body sprays I've smelled before have this synthetic scent undercurrent that is off-putting to me, at least. Simone is quite classy and elegant, and I don't get a plasticky synthetic scent from it at all. In my opinion, this is FB worthy.

This has become my signature scent. It is one of a kind and truly amazing. I tried it on a whim, having bought a four pack of mini roll-ons from Sephora. I didn't really care for any of the others, but Simone stuck with me, and has since become one of my all time favorite scents. I am mostly a fruity floral/gourmand type of girl, so the fact that I'm so obsessed with this scent came as a bit of a surprise. On me, there are definitely notes of apple and watermelon, and the sea salt just a pinch, which gives it some kind of beachy zest. It lasts a long time on me, and every time I smell it on myself, I can't get over how incredible it is. It definitely has a youthful vibe, which works well for me as I'm 25. I adore this scent and plan on keeping it in my collection forever!!

I bought a rollerball set from Sephora and fell in love with Simone. It has the fruitiness of DKNY Be Delicious, but without being so overpowering. So I purchased a spray set, again from Sephora. I was heartbroken to find that in this form, Simone was significantly more woodsy! (Not my favorite accord at all.) I think it must be the frangipani, in combination with the woods, that needs delicate handling. Can it be that some bottles hit the right balance while others don't? Or could it be that I just got a bad bottle? I want to believe that Simone is usually the beauty I first loved :) UPDATE: I rolled the dice and bought a travel spray. This batch is DIVINE. :D

Wow, I looooove this fragrance. I’ve tried a few scents from Tocca but this one is by far the best in my opinion. It’s fresh and slightly sweet, but in a light airy way. I definitely get the florals (especially freesia) and the green apple, with some watermelon in the background. But none of the notes are that synthetic type of fruity at all, they’re beautiful and very realistic. The lemon isn’t sharp or sour, it’s more of a fresh, crisp note in the background. Overall it’s a very clean, light and feminine scent. Makes me feel so girly and ethereal. The ultimate summery, “clean girl” type perfume. Can see myself wearing this for years to come.

I am very surprised that out of a bunch of Tocca perfumes I went to go sample, this one really stood out and ended up coming home with me. Based on the notes, I thought this would definitely be in the "meh" pile, but its actually gorgeous. It starts off very fresh and light and then dries down into a wonderful feminine and classy fragrance. This is a perfume perfect for spring, even more so than the Belle one from Tocca (which I thought would be more my style over this). This is my third Tocca fragrance and very unlike the other two I have, which are very wood heady, but I'm glad I gave this a chance, it's beautiful

I honestly love this! Simone reminds me of my Escada Sorbetto Rosso that I used so much in high school, except, the watermelon in this one is less sweet, and more complex with all the florals blended together. The drydown has a slightly synthetic feel, which Sorbetto Rosso doesn't have, but besides that, this is so lovely! If you want a lightly fruity, refreshing aquatic scent, uplifting and breezy for summer and spring, Simone is perfect for that! Scent: 8.5/10 Longevity: 7/10 Sillage: 7/10 Price: 7/10 School and Work Friendly! Would recommend a blind buy for a fresh fruity scent! Age: 13-30 Yours Truly, Yuzu 🍊

This is the most beautiful scent I have ever had. Its angels in a bottle. Its opening is soft/fruity with delicate florals and a base of musk and woods. It has a watermelony summer aquatic vibe, but not beachy. This is more of a Sunday brunch, high tea, bridal, or just well put together lady perfume. Its also so romantic & sweet that it should be considered for date night especially in late spring & all through summer. I did try to wear in winter and it didnt go to well. Its just becomes to sharp for cold weather. Its definately a warm weather fragrance.

I have a 50ml bottle and have been wearing this 3 x a week. Its a summery watermelon fresh apple scent with a somewhat aquatic nature. This is not immature or candy like. The sweetness is there but its subtle. Not a gourmand by any means. This is an amazing outdoor wedding, luncheon, bridal shower type of scent. Also just a great work or everyday scent as its not cloying, heavy or loud. Its definately feminine but also a classy well brought up lady type of vibe. This is a spring, summer, early autumn scent to me. Can be worn day or evening.

The watermelon and citrus in the opening is so fresh, summery, and beautiful. Then that hint of soapy freesia comes in, and it is divine. So lightly soapy, and lightly lemon. It pairs perfectly. Nothing about this fragrance screams cleaner. It is just soft, pretty, and fresh. Great projection. This is one of my favorite Tocca fragrances. A fragrance that makes me feel pretty, but not exactly youthful. I feel like a pretty mature woman...who smells fucking great.

I love this. In fact, the only Tocca I'm not 100% sold on is Maya bc of the patchouli. But I'll be the first to admit the sillage is bad (skin scent only) and longevity is nil. But if you love it, you love it. Something about how they blend the citrus just really agrees with me. It's pretty much linear on me and I like that, too. But at $76 a pop, if you don't love them they aren't worth it.

A fun fresh fruity summer scent! Its exactly what it says on the tin with this one. The top notes are fresh and fruity and the middle add florally creaminess. This is a total beach girl scent. This reminds me of summer sunsets over the sea. Its tropical and fresh yet soft and creamy. The combination of fresh and dreamy really work wonders for capturing a feeling of radiance.

I put down that I “have” this when I actually have a large sized sample but will be forcing myself to buy the full size ASAP! Was gifted it from a fellow fragrantican in one of our swaps and OMG this is the most beautiful! It’s so aquatic light greens, light whites, bits of citrus, it’s incredible and I would say well worth whatever price I have to pay for a full size hahah

Absolutely delicious, and a very safe pick for my first fragrance-- it felt completely opposite the heavily floral department-store smell of most perfumes. It doesn't last without heavy application, but I still got a second bottle because it's that easy to wear and good year-round for the hot climate I live in.

Wow. I almost never buy a bottle of perfume on the spot. I smelled this and it was The One. I'm so picky about fragrances, and this embodies almost everything I seek out in perfumes. It's not too sweet, but very feminine while remaining smooth and soft. Definitely looking forward to wearing this all the time.

I blind bought this, only because every Tocca scent I've smelled I have loved, and I'm happy I did. I don't pick up the fruit notes mostly the floral notes. Its such a nice everyday floral scent. Very light but the one downside is that it doesn't last long.

This was my favourite perfume 2 years ago. But tried to wear it last summer and i found it a bit overwhelming especially on the freesia/watermelon combo. I am hoping i can wear it again this spring summer because i have a full bottle and a travel spray.

Absolutely love the scent, hate the longevity. Would definitely need to be paired with a stronger watermelon fragrance to make it last longer and project more. Only keeping a travel size or sample to carry throughout the day to reapply.
