My Name

I was surprised to see that I forgot to write a review for My Name.I bought it more than three years ago when I was newly intrested in perfumes and I loved it back then.I even thought that it can be my signature but my husband wasn't fond of it(he liked it but didn't love it) so I decided to try other perfumes and this was the beginning of my perfume addiction Now that I tried it after a long separation,I can see that I still love it.lilac and heliotrope are the most dominant notes on me and they're fresh,softly powdered and lovely here.there's also this marshmallowy vanilla which makes My Name delicious,not that it's a gourmand or overly sweet,it's just a delicious floral scent. when I first spray it I feel as if I'm smelling rain-washed purple petals of flowers while there's a hint of sweet powdery scent coming from somewhere preventing it from turning to a cold or melancholic purple floral.after a while it smells like face powder and marshmallows on me.dry down is creamy and slightly musky and smells like a heavenly smelling body lotion.It smells great in each stage and I love it all through it's life Trussardi My Name is truely lovely.it's super feminine,innocent and romantic yet classy and sophisticated.it's clean and comforting the same time.it's also inoffensive,easy to wear year round(I prefer it the most in spring) and in various situations.it's a modern scent but I can see something classical feminine in it too I prefer it to Love by Chloe and IMHO it has nothing to do with Lacoste Pour femme.if you love Bvlgari Omnia Amethyst or Issey Miyake Pleats Please edp(the purple bottle) there's a big chance for you to like My Name too However I have some other great lilac-heliotrope perfumes nowadays( such as Amouage Lilac Love),there will be always a place for Trussardi My Name in my collection.there's about 30mils or less left in it's bottle and after going through it,I may consider repurchasing(something I rarely do) Longevity is moderate on my skin,4-5 hours.it stays close to skin but I won't call it a weak or faint perfume as I can catch lovely whiffs of it during all these hours By the way I like it's bottle too P.S: today my husband commented on it: you smell pretty and angelic! I think after all he's growing to love it too یه عطر بسیار دوست داشتنی که با توجه ب قیمتش ارزش خریدبالایی داره موقع اسپری کردن،حس میکنم دارم گلبرگ بارون خورده ی گلهای بنفش رو بو میکنم.رایحه گلها طبیعی و ملایم و زیباست.در ادامه ترکیبی از رایحه پودرصورت(پنکک) و مارشمالو حس میکنم.بدون اینکه زیادی شیرین یا خوراکی طور باشه یجور خوشمزگی پودری داره.تو درای داون هم یه رایحه لطیف و کرمی شبیه یه لوسیون بدن خیلی خوشبو داره تروساردی مای نیم سرشار از زنانگی و ظرافته و درکنار خانومانه بودن،معصومیت دلنشینی داره.درعین تمیزی،آرامش بخش و راحته و عملا تمام طول سال و تو موقعیت های مختلف قابل استفاده ست اگه دوستدار روایح پودری و عطرهایی مثل بولگاری آمیتیس،،ایسی میاکه پلیتز پلیز بنفش و کلویی لاو هستین حتما امتحانش کنید موندگاری متوسطی داره و هرچند پخش بوش به نحویه که تو فضای شخصی اطراف تون حس میشه،بنظرم عطر ضعیفی نیست چون فقط با دو پاف میتونم رایحه زیباش رو تا چند ساعت حس کنم

Soft, gentle, creamy, with heliotrope & a very little violet + some lilac - it reminds me so much, of a more sophisticated, 'Johnson's baby lotion' - but in the nicest possible way. Subtle, elegant, beautiful, with a v pleasant, delicate musk. Delicate is a good way to describe the whole thing, & I don't wear this (because it's similar to another of my beloved perfumes) but it smells absolutely lovely on my friend, & she wears it so often, it has become her new signature, the only heliotrope I usually wear is in Alaia Blanche, & Narciso Poudree - but this, one with it's creamy, gentle lilac & almond flower + heliotrope is just lovely (& might be something you could find on a teacher, a nanny or anybody who works with children, (such as my friend,) bc it's gentle but persistent, it lingers long on clothes, espc; but it is not boring, not at all, you would also find this on a person who is extremely classy, & wears elegant classic style clothes & has impeccable taste & is never flashy in anyway, she would wear this - it is, delicate & beautiful & it's a lovely perfume altogether, espc if you like delicate perfumes; I prefer this much to a Drop D'Issey, which is a little more bombastic - where My Name is gentle & subtle, I picture someone dressed in pale colours, a cashmere sweater perhaps - with soft, natural, slightly wavy hair - it's a v calm scent, & the person who wears this is never ostentatious, but is still stylish, in a classc way & v confident in herself. (Someone here said it smells almost like Designer "Baby Lotion" with some lilac, almond flower, vanille +heliotrope & I think that's quite true. Longevity is pretty good. Am always quite taken with Trussardi - the house makes some lovely perfumes, & this is one of the nicest, beautiful violet almond flower & heliotrope; the vanilla is barely there & sweet but not too sweet, as is the entire perfume & it's all so lovely, I doubt anybody's could smell this on somebody else, & dislike it, it's something most ppl find clean, slightly sweet & beautiful, & everybody is pleased to smell such gentle perfumes on others. (& as others have mentioned this is very similar, but less spicy, than Florentina, by Sylvaine Delacourt, which I'm also fond of & wear, that parfum was gift, but this one I purchased.) It really is my good friend's Signature, now though, this, very much so, & she wears it like a second skin, morning, afternoon & even evening - she used to wear, Love Chloe, but now always wear this (she's not one for lots of different perfumes, & this reallysuits her vibe) & she always smells fresh, but not too citrus-sy, clean, slightly lotioney & of Lilac/Vanille /Almond Flower, like some kind of beautiful lotion & purple flower, & people say "Oh you smell lovely" - rather than "What perfume are you wearing" which is something she likes a lot. This is her vibe, v much - & would suit anybody who wears Love Chloe, or even the Chloe EDP & loves to smell clean but feminine & beautiful.

Say what you will about the tacky little bottle LOL, BUT, My Name is a classic example of why you never judge a BOOK by it's Cover! OMGoodness this fragrance aaahh-mmm-aazzing! I have been searching for a Lilac, Violet fragrance that would satisfy my need for that ohhh sooo soft, bright and perfect scent of real Lilacs and this is the one! Super intense at first spray in the Lilac element which I loved but then Violets and Heliotrope began to pop, like little pings here and there! Soon I was wearing a full blown symphony of purple perfection!!! It's fizzy at first, almost like it was mixed with a tad bit of champagne to tickle your nose and senses. It is simple but very elegant. A bit modern, and a tiny bit of old school, as it lays down a blue print for the perfect garden fragrance. It's grounded in it's composition and clearly could be found in any grandmothers backyard garden, as the lilac, heliotrope and violet are about as real as I have ever smelled. It reeks of simplicity and old wealth. I think this is the fragrance you might find on the dressing tables of the very wealthy, as an everyday SECRET fragrance staple, the scent that the rest of us yearn for, yet are afraid to ask..."What fragrance are you wearing?" My Name is brightly crisp and sweet. It's all purple floral for me, with the Lilac always forefront. It is not sugary sweet on my skin, as the Vanilla did not come in to play. The Musk, Arum Lily and Amber were also not detectable for me. I love this scent and feel like I found a real treasure in this fragrance! I think it will be best in spring and summer but I will wear it in fall too, just because it is so lovely! It is a dreary, ugly, rainy and icy day here today...I have it on, and it is singing the promise and renewal of spring! It has lifted my mood and set my sights on spring. When wearing this, I swear spring could be right around the corner. I will not hesitate to use it in winter, as a Blahhhh Buster, on ugly depressing days! Longevity is better than average and sillage is good. I think this smells a tad bit like Aerin Lauders, Lilac Path which I really like too. IMHO this one is brighter, more realistic and is a bit more affordable. It definitely last longer on the skin. If you love the notes of Lilac, Violets and Heliotrope you really need to give Trussardis, My Name a try.

What I love about this site and my blind purchases that are based on reviews here? They expose me to frags that would otherwise not even come up on my radar. And lately I just have luck with my blind purchases. So I ordered My Name, and boy am I glad I did. This is way better than I anticipated based on the notes listed here and the reviews. It is sweet indeed, but in a very light way, yet not the fleeting kind of tenderness. This could become my new casual day time fragrance. It will not bump my favorite day time beauty Jil Sander Sun off as my signature fragrance, but it is more wearable day in day out than Sun, which for me is more a leisure time scent. My Name is not too intense for a day at the office, but still it has a happy leisure time vibe to it. Most of the frags I use for work are more on the nice but boring side (like L'air du Temps), as I want to be safe and not being offensive. This fits so much better to me and my personality. I love it, and even though I consider Jil Sander Sun as my signature fragrance, I am sure I am going to wear My Name a lot more than my all time beauty this summer, because there are more opportunities for it. And yes, it does smell a bit of a nice hand lotion. It is truly lovely.
