Look

This is not a review but a kind request to all the members of the site, for help. Look by Vera Wang and Dawn by Sarah Jessica Parker have been my favourite perfumes so far but I can not find them any more as they have been discontinued. I guess they have/share a common note that belongs to the green family/group (green notes for Look-violet leaf for Dawn) that gives to the perfume respectively a fresh, uplifting vibe. I have been looking in the Greek market for something similar or close enough for a long time now, but with no luck. I have read here on Fragrantica about 2 brands (Philosophy and Clean respectively) that produce this kind of perfumes (plain, clean, fresh, green type) but they do not exist in the Greek market. I read a few reviews from both brands but I have not come into a conclusion. I would like eventually to dare and buy one perfume from one brand or the other (blind order, I can not do differently) but I would really appreciate any member who knows the perfumes very well to tell me his/her opinion about them. For example if they have similarities or not, if at least one is better than the other in terms of quality, duration and value for money or they are tied. I know when it comes to perfumes, it is a very subjective matter but certainly some members that they can find these brands in their countries and can try them first hand, can tell the difference if any and suggest me something. I would truly appreciate any answers. I would like to kindly thank from the bottom of my heart you for you time, for reading my message and your help. Yours, Hara

The most elegant perfume of Vera Wang. It is a very nice perfume, easy to wear, fresh but sophisticate at the same time. It is the third time that, I add it to my collection and I have not regret it. It is very fresh, uplifting and cheerful. As far as its duration, is enormous. At least 8 hours...Excellent... I wore it, yesterday in the office and my colleague commented about it (what a nice perfume etc......) and gave me compliments, at the end of the day..... As far as I can tell, it is one of the perfumes that every time I wear it, I get many compliments from the people around me. I think it is a very nice perfume, very well done that can be used/worn all the months of the year and smell wonderful. Although I hardly stick in one fragrance only (I like to change them with the first opportunity and try new ones...), I will certainly repurchase it, when my current bottle will be empty, too....I highly recommend it, it's worthy.... P.S: I had the chance to try 4 other perfumes by Vera Wang that I could find in Greece (lovestruck, princess, glam, preppy) but none of them, changed my mind about Look.....

Dear friends of Fragrantica, this is not a review but a kind request to most of you and especially to those who live in EU/ UK. I am a great fan of Vera Wang's perfumes but unfortunately I can not find them in Greece any more (she withdrew from the Greek market). Therefore I would like to kindly ask in which countries and stores ( for example at Sephora in France? at Boots in UK? ) I can still find Wang's perfumes, to bear it in mind. Generally speaking, I would like to kindly ask (in order to have a clear picture in my mind) if in other countries of EU, someone can find the majority of V. Wang's perfumes in local retailers or she has totally withdrawn from the European market in general....To be honest with you, I have lost hope from the internet, because the last 2 times that I found some sites that, theoritically carried Wang's perfumes they were all knockoffs. I am really heart broken...... I would like to kindly thank you for your attention and your time. I truly appreciate it. Yours, Hara

LONG LASTING I like it! Update: I love this site! lol I listen to what you guys and ladies say and you all have been a really big help thanx! ;D Anyway, I just wanted to say....... This fragrance is also excellent for spring and summer and it gets sooo flirty as it dries down. I smell the mandarin, lily and patchouli the most and for some reason I'm smelling grapefruit, I love the smell of grapefruit in a fragrance sometimes! It makes it so playful feeling after it dries down, it makes it kind of sexy too! This can be worn during the day or night and I like the way it makes my clothes smell. It may not be for everyone but try be for you buy, let it dry down completely and after it wears off you just might like it. When I decide to wear this sometimes, I'm always told, everytime, I smell really good Great for 25+ :D

Looking at the list of notes I really shouldn't like this. There is fruit, Musk, jasmine.. Stuff that many people like but I have found can be a bit harsh on me. However, I do. And have done since I first sniffed it almost five years ago. I got a sample vile of this with a magasine and became obsessed! I couldn't afford a whole bottle but scowered the internet for more samples. I even wore it to my wedding (and yes, I had the VW dress as well, that's why I couldn't afford the scent. ;) I found this at a bargain price a few weeks ago and I still love it! It is so fresh, powdery, soapy and nice. I don't get any vanilla, just flowery, green musc. I love lilys and I think that could be one of the reasons I like it so. It is heads down one of the prettiest lily-scents I have smelled. Love it.

I love the lily note in this one,so fresh and delicate,perfect for daytime spring/summer. Reminds me of Yves Rocher pur desir de lys somewhat. A light and sweet fruity floral fragrance,very under rated in my opinion,and I don't see why,I can't imagine this lovely frag offending anyone. The bottle is simple and classical,we don't always have to have hearts and glitter on everything :) I love all of Vera Wang scents,I don't think you can go wrong with them,great quality,just wish the price was a little lower!

first i just thought: nice floral scent...nothing special; but not bad at all... then, after ca. an hour i could not stop sniffing at my wrist. the frag becomes very gentle, soft and not too floral. it is a comfortable, well balanced fragrance. good for every day use (eg. in office etc.). this scent is not sexy or seductive, but its definetly a mood lifter. i really like it and my boyfriend says i smell really good when i am wearing it.

I absolutely love this fragrance. It smells a bit like Tommy Girl but is a bit more subtle and soft (with a modern twist). The fresh clean wake it leaves behind is wonderful and I've received compliments long after I've figured it's worn away. If you are looking for light, fresh clean and lasting, this is it.

This fantastic fragrance delights me no end!! It creates a deep fascination within me with its light taste LONG-LASTING!!! My signature and absolute favorite!! An absolute praise and attention gainer!! I buy a new bottle 3.4 oz (100 ml) every time i finish it!! IT is that good!

Does anybody know, in which GROUP this perfume belongs to? I know the perfume, I know its smell but I can not understand in which GROUP it fits in....(here on page it does not mention it at all...). I would like to kindly thank you. Yours, Hara

i BOUGHT THIS RECENTLY BEFORE SMELLING AND WAS PLEASANTLY SUPRISED. IT SMELLS MOSTLY OF VANILLA AND SOUR APPLES WHICH COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER WELL, THE SCENT LASTED ON MY SKIN ALL AFTERNOON AND I KEPT WANTING TO SMELL MY WRISTS.

Love. Gentle, fresh, floral, light and airy. Similar to bouquet, but with an edge and creamy centre. Pleasantly surprised as I bought online without testing first. The ppl at Vera Wang did a great job imho. I recommend.

it has a very fresh smell...like it

This perfume has a very sour apple note at the beginning and smells a little like turquoise by Ralph Lauren only a little. It does have a strong musk in it so not everyone is going to like this. It is a departure from the princess range which I have and they are all different in their own way. This one lasts quite well it may need 1 spray during the day. I think on some people it could be very strong but I find I need to touch it up during the day so I can smell it more. I know if a perfume suits you you should not be able to smell it. Well I don't adhere to that because I wear it for me so I want to smell it. I would advise others that you may put too much on. It can be really expensive but I have seen it on sale often enough so if you wait you will eventually get it cheap. All I can say is this is one you have to try none of the reviews can tell you exactly what it smells like because it is a little unusual which in this day and age is a rare thing amongst todays perfumes. It is a must try even if all you get out of it is to say you have tried it!

I discovered this perfume right on time for spring and I find it really beautiful, just to my taste and mood when it comes to spring. It starts fruity in a crisp, not overly sweet way, I smell a lot of litchi and refreshing green notes at first, very juicy and crisp. Delicate white flowers make it very inoffensive and likable, I honestly do not feel the sharpness some reviewers talk about. I love Look very much and I have the full bottle. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it in a while in perfume shops in my country and I hope it won't get discontinued because I do not find it is like any of the perfumes it was compared to below. Sorry Happy, Tommy Girl, etc., Look is so bright that I just cannot see you as a proper substitute...

Sunshine in a bottle!! Look is purely a white floral. On me the most prominent notes are green apple, lilly and jasmine. It is fresh, crisp and very similar to the J'adore by Christian Dior. Wearing it in the winter is uplifting. My skin type: oily / youthful Projection: arm's length Potency: HEAVY (1 or 2 sprays is enough) Longevity: 12 hrs + Office Safe: yes if applied lightly Timing: winter, fall, spring / day time Price: $22 for 100 ml / 3.38 oz at Winners / TJ Maxx Packaging: 6/10; nothing unique about the bottle Will I repurchase: NO Disclaimer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, my chemistry, the season, and my personal tastes

My interpretation of Look is simple- crisp & clear green apple, watery florals, clean musk. Uninteresting but nice and likable. I am smelling a sour or hard note like many other reviewers but I'm not sure if it's the note composition or the fact that my bottle has been hidden away in a cabinet in its original box for about 5 years. And since it has been so long, I can't remember if that smell was there to begin with or if my bottle is turning. I don't recall smelling anything "off" before. Longevity and sillage are surprisingly pretty decent. I like this scent a lot for what it is, but it's nothing to write home about.

This perfume bottle was an interesting diversion at the time from the other perfumes in Vera Wang's range. A heavy glass brick with simple orange monogramming, it is very reminiscent of Clinique's Happy. And we would be right to assume that; both fragrances sparkle with citrus. The mandarin and freesia notes are apparent straight away. I was really surprised by the freshness of the fragrance; Vera Wang's original 'Vera Wang' is not as obvious, both in notes and image. The vanilla and musk follow shortly after, rounding off this pretty perfume to a refreshing, soft, creamy orange ice lolly.

Since the time they came out with this one, I always thought there is something interesting about it. I would say it is definitely floral, but not too much in your face type of floral. Very interestingly done! I don't see myself wearing this,however, I belive I would take this one over Marc Jacobs one for a similar floral fragrance.Also,I think this is ideal for Spring, Fall and Winter. It might be a tad overwhelming in Summer. I would describe Vera Wang Look "shampoo smelling white floral" fragrance..:)

Second bottle, and I like it alot. Freshflowery. Green notes, apple, Lily and Musk is what I get on my skin. Perfect everyday-scent or office-scent. Nice sillage and on my skin, smells good för 4-5 hours. Found both bottle to low price. Andra flaskan och jag gillar den rejält. Fräschblommig. Gröna noter, äpple, Lilja och Musk är det jag känner mest på huden. Perfekt varje-dag-doft eller kontoret-doft. Trevlig utstrålning och på min hud doftar den gott 4-5 timmar. Hittade båda flaskorna till lågpris.
