Swiss Army for Her

Got this based on such stunning reviews by everyone here! So glad I got it, too! I rarely see this around, so I was curious when I saw it around at a local drug store. Got on here and read all your reviews, went to buy it. This frag does not disappoint, just like the reviews you all left! Wearing it right now, and I have to say I am seeing everything you are all saying! It's a nice, fresh scent that's mainly floral (the peony is really heavy on me, but it gives a nice, powdery feeling so I don't mind) and somewhat aquatic with a hint of spice. Really nice and reassuring...although I guess the notes play out differently on everyone, so I get how some people just don't like this frag.Still, it was good precaution and I bought this half expecting it to play out nasty musk-pepper-ginger notes that would just basically crash...so glad that didn't happen for me at all! Alright, so how the frag went down for me: At first spray, it was straight up alcohol, but as it dried down, it released a really nice, fresh lily-of-the-valley and aquatic scent that was very nice and clean, like a sunny, crisp winter morning or windy spring. Then, about 20-30 seconds in, the scent changed to a more gingery sort of scent and the aquatic note lingers, so it felt like I just showered. At about 40-60 seconds in, the scent settles to a discreet creamy peony that you kind of have to lean in to smell, so it's not obvious but it's that little something that makes people turn their heads and ask you what perfume you have on. The aquatic note is still there, but it's not really strong, it lends itself to the peony and makes it smell that much lighter, and dreamy. The woodsy tinge comes in and gives this frag grounding so it doesn't just smell like air freshener, and there's a bit of musk to balance it to the skin. I would say this frag settles to a fluffy, airy, white peony flower, if that makes sense at all...at any rate, the final notes remind me of Beyond Paradise from Estee Lauder. Absolutely don't regret taking the advice you all gave, and buying this baby! Thanks everyone! :D

Initial sprays: like bathing in a tub of fresh peonies 😍 DIVINE. (I've never sprayed this to review, but will come back and edit this as it changes.. I know it does, and can already smell it starting to change some. I'll be back.) Few moments later.. I smell a citrus kind of sweetness, but there's no citrus in the notes, so it must be the ginger mixed with the lily of the valley.. that mixed with the fresh peony bath is just heavenly. Can't believe I gave a bottle of this away years ago because I didn't like it... Crazy how much our tastes change over time. I've come to appreciate many different scents and love the mood they bring with them, or help to accentuate your own. This one has a personality, but it's not over powering or rude. It's focussed, sweet, organized, natural, semi-introvert.. green and flowery. She prefers mornings and herbal tea or hot cocoa over coffee. Reading her favourite book by the water over big crowds and parties. She's office safe if sprayed sparingly. Mmmm... the flowers, so lovely! But I could see how this would smell amazing on a man as well. Though floral, it's not an overly feminine scent. Mixed with the right pheromones, this would be amazing on a man too. It's only been 10 minutes, will come back. Seemed to turn to a perfect powdery scent last time and I want to see if that was this perfume, an accidental mixing, or I imagined it. *Mine doesn't say "victorinox" on the bottle btw, it just says Swiss Army for her EDP, same red bottle. Edit: well, I screwed this scent test up. Sprayed it on my shirt, so I'm still smelling the ginger, lily of the valley and peony strongly. Smelling my wrist though, 1.5 hrs later - it's barely there but so so light now and tamed down to almost nothing and difficult to tell since I can still smell it so strong on my shirt. Will have to test again and be more careful about not spraying on my clothes. This is 100% office safe though. Bet nobody could smell it off me now, if so, very lightly.

I've been considering purchasing this for a while, the sleek red bottle and the refreshing sounding notes really caught my interest. I should add that I think this has been repackaged as my bottle says "Swiss Army For Her Ginger Lily" and has a removable cap, I've compared the notes and they're virtually the same, however. This opens up very fresh, ozonic and crisp, lily of the valley and ginger are instantly noticable and feel very uplifting; sort of like when you step outside during the transition from spring to summer and feel the warm yet cool air on your skin and can smell everything starting to come fully back to life. The mid is when I start to notice a lightly floral but aquatic nuance which I'm going to say is the peony note, along with the lily of the valley, it adds to the overall "fresh" and "active" feeling I get from this, for the most part that is exactly how Swiss Army smells before becoming ever so slightly musky after about the 6 hour mark. The longevity is fantastic, it definately does last and is noticable without being overpowering and it has enough silage to get comments but, again it isnt like an olfactive smack over the head. This would work well year round but it would absolutely sing during the spring/summer months and I cannot wait to wear this more as the weather warms up. Its totally office and gym safe as well and could easily become a signature scent due to how fresh and easy it is to wear. Despite the fact that Victorinox fragrances aren't marketed widely within the UK and I had to buy this directly from Victorinox themselves, it is still very reasonably priced and I would happily repurchase this and possibly try others from this house as well. LOVE IT!

When this came out, I bought it as my first real fragrance. It was cheap and inoffensive so why not? While a lot of people think this is just another sporty fresh floral and even I thought it was good but not extra special, I got compliments on this more than any other fragrance I've worn especially from other women. Something about it works with my body chemistry I guess because all the other more expensive perfumes I've worn since SAfH has not had the same reactions. I finished my whole bottle because I could wear it all the time. I only wish it was sold in store locally but they've stopped stocking it, but I'll definitely repurchase if I get the chance and find the right price. It is a great fragrance for night and day, work and leisure. It veers more spring/summer, but this an all occasion perfume.

I found a 100ml bottle for $19.99 for the new release of this. It’s starts off very unisex-almost more manly and then within seconds all that goes away and the beauty within comes out. Those fresh notes and aquatic notes together are oh so perfect! I love this and for 20 bucks, I mean doesn’t get better than that!!! Aside from the snow berry or whatever it’s called that I found at the dollarama (Canada) for four dollars, I have loved every fragrance I have ever smelled by this company!!! They do such a perfect job of making incredible fresh aquatics at perfectly affordable prices!! Straight up love this!!
