The Girl

Addition to my last review on this. I read about people being disappointed with the longevity of these scents, and I agree to a point, I am someone that doesn't do well with most edt, but here I did. Personally I would go for these brands in edt than the celeb edp offerings bar the odd one or two. I found it lasted fine, usually i luck out with edt and also with Tommy H. I have romance by t.h and it doesn't last well in winter, perhaps the 'girl' line do better in winter? They seem to get eaten up by the heat and don't last, I had this along side issey miyaki and although I loved the issey, this tommy h was a firm like. It was a more flat but good, not sweet, not so much warm, fresh and soft, with a nice waft factor I guess. I got 5 hours, and lots of compliments from the twenty something's

So glad I ignored negative reviews on this one. This fragrance has an amazing cooling effect on me. Like camping in Big Sur where the fog circles around the big trees with the sea booming nearby. Delicate green plants, cedar, fog, and pear! A watery freshness that is second to none in making me go "aaaahhhh..." when I put it on. Delicious! I'd say it's the cooler, more aqueous cousin to Balenciaga B. I can still smell this on me 5 hours later and it stays on clothes longer. Longevity is pretty moderate I'd say. I love it for the unique freshness. A nice watery woodsy juice that feels driving into a lush, cooling coastal fog after spending hours in a hot, dry valley. This one is special.

Winter test I completely agree with the accords listed, perhaps not the notes pictured however. Green, herbaceous, woody, light, aquatic, airy. I though I could get a bit of a slight pear or fruit layer, it didn't come out very much on me. That's ok. Similar to: Vera wang truely pink Ck summer 2016 or 2017? The blue and yellow boxed one. Aqva divina sort of, the wood is similar, The Girl is fresher and stays linea, doesn't go floral. Perhaps on the edge of Burberry tender, my girl has no rose. You get the drift. Fresh, clean and green, light wood. Good year round I imagine

What I love about this, is that it makes me feel better. I spritzed it on, on a really bad and depressing day, at the perfume counter, and it actually had the power to make me smile! I felt comforted and I was smiling! And this was on a very depressing, fucked up day. I can't even. I love this scent for the way it makes me feel. Not for the notes in it or for any other reason. I can't say that about a lot of perfumes.

Coming into summer now, this scent is great, it's like a mid way between davidoff and issey. Not similar but related. It's not sweet as such, I get a little bit if bitterness, less so than the original tommy girl which I want to love but don't. Watery, watermelon, bitter, some greenness... it's not heavy and does great when some of the spray catches on your clothes.
