Tommy Girl Vibrant Summer

This was a huge pleasant surprise! I used to wear Tommy girl back when I was about 18...(42 now, getting on a bit) but grew out of it as I literally dowsed myself in it for around 3 years straight. Anyway I’ve been looking for a sunscreen holiday vacation type scent for years and none of the ones I’ve tried ticked the boxes for me (and I’ve tried so many! 😭) it’s been Soleil Cristal, Soleil blanc, alien goddess, beach walk, bronze goddess and more but none of them did it for me. I searched in google and ai...sunscreen type scents for summer 2026. On the results was this (even though it was a 2024 release) Tommy Hilfiger cheapie edt. I thought it probably won’t last long and also if it’s got the Tommy girl dna I don’t want to smell of my teens...however..I checked the notes and reviews and for the price I thought I’d give it a go. I nervously gave it a good squirt and this strong, beautiful, tropical, exotic, fresh but sweet mist covered me. It doesn’t remind me of the og whatsoever and it’s literally my perfect summer scent. It’s definitely sunscreen but I would say a much more luxurious type! It’s fruity, fresh, tropical, sweet, sunscreen vibe is exactly what I wanted! The performance is also impressive for an edt. Especially a cheap one. When I spray it there is no strong smell of alcohol, it’s strong fruity floral scent feels far more expensive than what it is. It transports me to beautiful hot country. It’s spray is strong and generous, it lasts about 4 hours on my skin with decent projection. £21 for a 100ml bottle is fantastic value for this! So happy that I’ve found my perfect summer scent from a cheapie brand I never thought I’d go back to. Also for all the people who are confused that coconut is not listed...it’s the gardenia that comes across coconutty due to it giving a lactonic vibe. I think I might have to pick up a backup bottle of this one I love it that much 🌴☀️ 🏖️ 🌊 🏝️ (I went through a phase for a long time of only sticking with more expensive brands and I’m starting to find out that more expense is not always better. Don’t be quick to write things off so easily without trying. I’ve learned my lesson)

Wow, this is a happy fragrance! Suitable for the early, somewhat cold spring... um, I don’t think so. This scent suits summer, dancing on your ballerinas through the city and then taking the train to the sea. Can the scent go with you into the evening? Yes, absolutely, but you’ll need a few extra sprays because it has a moderate longebity and after all, happiness is something you want to share. The perfume opens with a slight alcohol scent, at least on me, which is a shame because it battles with the fruity top note. Watermelon is listed as an ingredient on Fragrantica—hard for me to recognize, but the fresh, fruity scent is abundantly clear. 🍉 Pretty soon after the top note, I recognize bergamot: round, complex, and quite addictive. I think I pick up a hint of coconut in the distance, but it could also be the combination of bergamot and watermelon. The perfume is fresh and warm at the same time, and once this initial explosion is over, a beautiful fruity greenish floral scent emerges that sparkles in your nose and is definitely not sickeningly sweet. Let’s hope for an Indian Summer so we can enjoy this fragrance for a while longer. Just in case, I purchased a second bottle and started praying to the weather gods. 🌞🙏 Tommy Girl Vibrant Summer EDT 100ml was bought for 29 euros (Netherlands), not a lot of money for such a beautiful, light, happy fragrance that also has depth. - Note to Reader Smell and scent experience is different for everyone; the above is my personal experience.

Just picked this up at Burlington for $22 for the 3.4oz size, which is a steal! I pick up lots of gardenia and watermelon so it’s this beautiful, happy, definitely summer scent perfect for humid southern summer. I’m going to enjoy the heck out of this, I can tell. We’re just hearing up so it’ll take me clear into September, that’s for sure!

My first big girl perfume was Tommy Girl and I still think TG is a banger. I blind bought this at TJ Maxx and crossed my fingers. WOW! I love it! It has the DNA of Tommy Girl, but it’s got a prominent gardenia note with a splash of watermelon. As a gardenia lover, this is my dream come true. This is joy in a bottle,

This is long lasting. I initially thought it wasn't long lasting but others smell it strongly on me. Also, I sprayed it in my car and could absolutely smell it in my car the following day. This fragrance has really grown on me. I like it more and more every time I wear it. I can smell all the notes & I seem to be aware of different notes more each time that I wear this. The neroli is extremely prominent in this fragrance (to my nose). This is definitely beach time appropriate. However, as someone who despises the cold & who, at times, wears beachy frags in the winter, I feel that this could hold it's own on cold winter days, particularly because of the sweet, honeyed neroli with the vetiver and musk. Also, this is more daytime but I could definitely layer this with a dab of Patchouli (since I'm a Patchouli lover) or with something woody to better wear it into the night. Although watermelon is listed, this is not a summery "watermelon forward" fragrance. I think the watermelon in this is mostly used to simply carry the the fragrance with it's ozonic factor. Others have mentioned a coconut smell to this, and I agree thar there is something about this frag that "indicates" a coconut note, but it's not exactly coconutty. I think maybe the combination of the sweet neroli with the mineral sand might be what gives the coconut vibe (Although maybe coconut is in this & simply not listed). The initial blast of this is, of course, the brightest, but this quickly goes into the neroli & sand on me. I need to recheck the notes of Sur LA Plage because I feel like the Netoli and Sand combo in this are reminiscent of the sweet sand in that fragrance. Although Sur LA Plage is an absolutely exquisitely lingering summer skin scent for hee or him. I have only the travel size from one of the fragrance subscriptions and I save it to use only for summer "date days." .... My mother found this fragrance to be sharp on her nose and reminiscent of something nostalgic, like a "throw back" type fragrance. "I guess" I cam sort of see/imagine that. By the way, I love gardenia, but I don't find this to be a "gardenia fragrance" because the neroli definitely overtakes it. The bitter spiciness of Bergamot intertwines with the vetiver & Musk as they those all linger in the background of sweet floral tinted with the mineral sand holds the stage and is carried in the air with ozonic ability of watermelon. (However, remember that this is not watermelon forward.). I enjoy this fragrance.
