Just Like Heaven

Creamy, silky, and so very fresh and light. Truly a beautiful and heavenly scent that one could describe as the essence of spring. I had to give it some time to grow on me, but it happened very quickly. At first, I wasn't very excited to try this... a harshly green, citrusy floral is what I expected... I'm glad I was wrong! There is something in the opening that strikes me, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. It develops and changes quickly. It's a sunny and juicy zest that gives your spirits a little lift that blends so beautifully with the tartly sweet and refreshing rhubarb. The rich damp greenness along with the soft purple floral somehow gives it a very honey-like texture. It reminds me of something like a high-end setting or compact powder. It's such a happy zing, and I find it quite energizing. It transitions into a gorgeous custardy amalgamation of scents. It's so refined, and quite sensual for something so clean and fresh! Rich, earthy/woodsy, milky, with just the smallest touch of spice, almost like a dash of spearmint to my nose... if heaven could truly be a place on earth, it was captured in this bottle. Longevity is incredible. Seven hours into my day and I still have people complimenting me or mentioning that I smell good in passing. I was sitting near my sister, about a good 3 or 4 feet away and she immediately asked me what I was wearing. "Sis, you smell good, but like, really really good!". I'd say the silage is pleasantly detectable, since it tends to reach those who are somewhat nearby. There is a warmth in here that stays fresh and light. She's soft and delicate, but oh so powerful. Playful, yet ever so sensual. Classy, beautiful, and feminine without being too sweet and girly.

What a dreamy fragrance. They could not have picked a better name for this perfume. It really is heavenly. I feel like I am surrounded by a fresh bouquet of spring flowers. It’s not a glamorous perfume or a dramatic perfume. It’s just a light, airy, pretty floral. There is nothing strong or heavy here. Sometimes I just want a fragrance that isn’t too much, and this fits the bill perfectly. Though light, the floral composition is a little heady and very feminine. The bouquet seems very realistic to me. I’ve smelled some of the same notes in my own garden, especially when the lilacs are in bloom. It surprised me since checking this site to see that lilac is not listed in the notes, but it is there along with the other florals. While lilac is the main note to my nose, it’s also a smidgen green and a pinch sweet. It smells so natural and so well balanced there is not one discordant note in this composition. The citrus and rhubarb are not prominent but more to keep the composition fresh. Especially thankful about that as I'm not the biggest fan of either. I like the way this scent floats around me in a nice little cloud of fragrance. It also has pretty good longevity for such a light floral. It lasted a good 7 hours on me. I really enjoyed wearing it and will purchase a bottle when this mini is done. Can’t wait for the warmer weather as I think this will smell better to me than it does now. In the meantime, I have this mini harbinger of spring to ease me through the rest of the winter. Edit - I tried Bvlgari Amethyste and yes, it does smell remarkably like this but there is a soapiness there that I am not getting here. If you can't find this, it could be a good substitute.

Holy moly. I bought a discounted bottle of Olympea by Paco Rabanne at Sephora and selected Just Like Heaven as my free deluxe sample (cute bottle, about 1/4oz of frag inside). The packaging is delightful! Adorably elegant in it's wee-ness. What I discovered inside was a spring flower bouquet in liquid form. If you love hyacinth and heliotrope notes and how a fresh bouquet smells (flowers, green scents) you may love this to the moon. And it will perform for you for hours. And more hours. And for goodness sake, do NOT apply a ton of it, because it lasts *and* extends into your own personal floral aura of scent like, well, like the sillage queen it is. Apply lightly. Just Like Heaven can quickly turn into Just Like Headache even as it smells amazing to your own nose. Just Like Heaven doesn't smell like my version of heaven, but it makes an excellent spring and summer scent for floral perfume lovers. Sweetly hyacinth and heliotrope notes supported by what can only be, to my nose, "green-ness" and just enough musk to be discernible after the opening notes mellow out. But the musk seems there to support the bouquet, not to be too forward. To me, it's barely there, which I like. You may want to try it over a musk lotion. I imagine this wee bottle will last me through next spring. This one will be great for going out to events (especially outdoor events like an art crawl or wine-tasting event) or on dates with my spouse. It's too showy for me to wear to work unless I can find the right (and very small) application range that will work for office settings. Bottom line- if you want a spring bouquet in a bottle, Just Like Heaven may be your unicorn.

Well, this is quite a treat. This is a very green floral scent, which confuses me since based on the notes, I'm not sure where I'm getting all this green from. Rhubarb and floral, perhaps is reading as green? Either way, I really like this scent. There is a creaminess to this that I really like. I enjoy when a fragrance can pull off creamy without leaning too heavy on gourmand notes or tuberose/gardenia. Tory Burch has never really been on my radar, but this is the third scent of hers that I have sampled and really enjoyed. The longevity is short lived though. This didn't last very long on my skin.

I absolutely love this perfume. Just like others have said: it is incredibly lilac-y to me. When I smelled it, I immediately thought of the lilac bushes at my childhood home. It's a beautiful, clean, fresh scent. I normally go for aquatic/citrus/aromatic scents, but I adore this. Just as a note, though, I'm also someone who puts on like 1 spray for the whole day and I don't pay much attention to sillage, longevity, etc...
