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.

Maybe it is the cedar, but something about this reminds me of Aspen by Coty. That was the first perfume given to me by a boy. It was Christmas, I was 16 (1991) and loved it and used every ounce. This little beauty brings back those memories and I still love it! It smells fresh , clean but still feminine.

I am on the hunt for a B by Balenciaga dupe. So far I've only tried Katy Perry's Indi and this one. I did not see the similarities with Indi. But I do get the same vibe with The Girl. Its lighter but it definitely reminds me of B. ♡♡♡

This is beautiful!! yes, it’s very light but who cares? It’s perfect the way it is. This is by far my new favorite. Love love love it!!

This is beautiful, I don't know why is not more hyped

UGH. WHY must this fragrance be so damn weak? It would've been perfection if it didn't have next to zero silage and longevity. This is a beautiful, slightly salty aquatic-yet-woodsy green fig with the softest floral undertone. It smells, like someone else said, like traveling on a wooden boat. It smells of sun, fresh air, sea breeze and happiness. What a shame that it lasts for about 5 seconds before disappearing into nothing, no matter how much I spray!

This is very pretty, and smells nearly identical to Elizabeth and James Nirvana White. Both have below average sillage and longevity. I'd purchase Nirvana White over this, though. Nicer presentation and better quality. Also, given Mr. Hilfiger's bigoted history, I wouldn't give him a flipping penny of my money. 😒

Currently wear this! I'm in love with Tommy Girl and actually looking for something similiar with it. This one is NOT! This is more sweet and not very long lasting on my skin like Tommy Girl does.

I got this perfume as a present a few years ago and though I can’t really remember the scent I do remember liking it and it becoming my signature scent when I was younger. 8/10

Very fresh, green, girly fragrance with a bit of sweetness. It reminds me of a wind blowing through a meadow. It's perfect for summer and spring.

almost exactly the same as CK2 ! is anyone else getting this?

this is hell of sweet. if your looking for something to the likes of Tommy girl you will be shockingly mistaken

This perfume is how I learned I hate the smell of fig

The scent: At first spray this scent has some melon and pear-like sweetness to it. After a few minutes it evolves into something green and aquatic. The initial sweetness is gone and is replaced by a cool, crisp, and may I say even slightly unisex vibe. The leaf and jasmine notes really shine through. There are similarities to Jo Malone's Wood Sage and Sea Salt, but The Girl is its less buttery sister. The Girl walks briskly and flirts with cool water, whereas WS&SS sits on the beach wrapped in a blanket and watches the tides. It is less of a summer scent than it is an autumn scent, when it's too cold to submerge the whole body into the water, so you walk with only your feet in it. This perfume's name might lead you to think it's sweet and bubbly, but you'll find yourself hit by a cool aquatic breeze instead. Longevity: Quite poor even for an EDT. Cannot detect it after an hour or so. Sillage: Typical EDT sillage. Inoffensive.

This is actually not as green as one might think, it is fresh, first I detect the Violet leaf, then the lily of the valley, the scent has a natural sweetness, it is green but almost in a cooling minty way, must be the ozonic notes. It is pretty, simple, casual. But not boring, I like it, it isn't girlish or anything like that...the base is a bit woodsy but not by much , the tone of this fragrance is floral, dominated by the violet with a green watery undertone...I like it!!!

Unfortuantely for me, the search for a replacement for B. Balenciaga continues. This did not remind me at all of the much loved scent. Except maybe a powdery hint of violet. I think the Jasmine throws things off (I don't like Jasmine fragrances, though I love the flower in real life). Not much cedar, which is missed. I don't think I can even get away with putting this scent in my C tier - casual -throw on for a trip to the shops fragrance. I'll have to resell.

I have no idea why but this smells exactly like green Thai coconut curry on me. I mean exactly! My sister smelled it on me and immediately agreed. Is anyone aware of what notes may be doing that to me so I can avoid them in blind buys? I normally love fresh woody scents on me but this did not have that effect sadly. From reading reviews it seems like I’m the only one with this experience so it must just be my body chemistry not working with this very well.

This perfume is so boring, it's literally mix of perfumes that already exist except a weak, one dimensional version. It smells almost exactly like Marc Jacobs Daisy, and I agree about the hints of Light Blue. It's weaker than both of those, and less bubbly/sparkly if that makes sense. It has a very green/fresh flowers powdery scent with a very very light hint of fruit.

The girl who told the notes to the 'nose' is mistaken. Musky notes are lame, not as it should be. Car air fresheners are more challenging to me. its a conclusion of blind buy. Only one in ten workmates realized (when I asked) and it doesnt last even one hour, it already doesnt smell unless you lean your nose where you sprayed. disappointment.

Bought this smell as an alternative to my favourite, B. Balenciaga. This definitely smells similar. It is a more aquatic and fresh version. It’s more casual/everyday whereas B. is a bit more sophisticated. If you like violet leaf scents you will definitely like this one! Lasts pretty decently but more-so on clothing than skin.

Completely agree with angelscry85 that The Girl smells nearly identical to Balenciaga B. The Girl is a tad more green, and lacks the bit of sweetness that B. has, but yes, this could be a lower end dupe. Overall, I think I would stick with B., as the bottle is prettier, longevity is better, and it smells a bit more complex.

I know I’ve read that fig can smell like coconut. I agree it smells like coconut in this fragrance. Maybe a young green coconut. It smells green but it’s only in the background. The soft sweetness is the star. It’s also a little bit woodsy. This is a very light fragrance and it’s pretty. This would be a nice room scent.

Wow, I can't believe how similar this is to B. Balenciaga without all the intense wood. Although on me it has a curry smell and on my mom, it smells wonderful. I guess I won't be wearing it LOL. I would say this is the poor mans B. Balenciaga. I'll stick to Balenciaga.

I hate this perfume. I bought it because I loved the smell however it barely lasts an hour. I will definitely not be purchasing again as it just doesn't last on my skin and the sillage is poor.

I sprayed this one at Kohl's, last week, and I didn't care for it because my nose doesn't like aquatic scents anymore for some reason. I'm drawn to floral, vanilla, amber,and sandalwood scents.

This is such a lovely scent and I would totally buy it if it would last more than 1 hour on my skin. Really disappointed in the staying power, it's a perfect fresh scent for summer

For a while, Its top notes reminds me Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue, and after I felt that the fig leaves predominated the scent. It smells good but didn't catched my nose.

Sounds lovely and fresh perfect for summer even though it seems a bit too green for me I'm still going to try it when it comes out.

I'm really surprised to see the notes of this perfume. Because to me this scent smells pepper. And that's it.

Last night sister asked me if I have a linden flower tea..:) and I said nothing.

I loved it! But it doesn't last!! :(
