Whitney Houston

I missed buying a bottle when our stores carried it at Christmas, so when I found a body mist at Dollar General the other day, I was rather pleased. It is light. Lighter than I like. That's expected at this price. But I am pleasantly surprised! Many fragrances made to honor or picture the past are horribly irrelevant. This fragrance smells slightly vintage and definitely appropriate. It actually could have been released in Whitney's own era and (better yet) would suit a mature woman with youthful taste OR a younger woman with timeless taste! Wearable. Likeable. You would be hard pressed to hate this one, unless you smell unfortunate in florals. Whitney is not a true floral, however. This is a lovely balance of sweet and fruit and floral. I smell pear! Pear is my favorite fruit note and also present in Ralph Lauren Woman, a distant fragrance cousin. And although it smells exactly like neither, the balance of fruit and floral in this happy melding reminds me of Body Fantasies Twilight Mist and also Amber Romance. They aren't dupes - they are all unique. If you like one, however, you could easily enjoy the others. I grab either of these two when I wish to smell feminine and effortlessly GOOD. I've never had anything but smiles and pleased faces when people are around these two. They are sweet and uplifting and attractive. And so is this. :D Conclusion: If you have a chance at an inexpensive bottle of the edt, spray lavishly and ENJOY. Whitney smells far better than the price point. <3

Oh, this is very nice. I snagged a bottle on eBay for about $17.00. Its very light gardenia but also fresh and green. Sits fairly close to the skin and lasts quite awhile. It's a yes from me!

To start,I don't know why people are saying things on here,if they haven't even tried the Fragrance??? Like I get that y'all are upset, but if you haven't even tried it, why bother to write anything? 😕 secondly, I bought this during Christmas at Walmart, I hadn't seen anyone talking about it what so ever. So I just bought it, hoping fragrantica would finally list it here. Now that it is finally listed on here, I'll review this as best as I can. The bottle design is elegant yet simple, but the cap is much too tight around the sprayer, you pull it one too many times,and your going to pull the sprayers metal ring off as well. But it's so tall, that the cap,it also wiggles like crazy? It's a terrible cap design. Quality of materials are good, but design is a bit poorly executed. The fragrance it's self, it's just a sort of basic, white floral fragrance. Upon first spray I'm hit with gardenia, and neroli. When it starts to settle, on my skin, it comes off a tad soapy, only a tad though. After 15 minutes or so, it starts to settle into a softer smell. You start to really get the night blooming jasmine and the Ylang -ylang. On my skin, it only projects for about an hour, and then it just gets close to the skin,after that first couple of hours. You'll still smell it for a few hours, it's just not the best at projecting for long periods of time. On the skin, you'll be left with delicate white florals and cashmere. If I had to compare this Fragrance to absolutely anything, it only SLIGHTLY reminds me of the original Kim Kardashian Fragrance, by Kim Kardashian. That one that is super heavy on the gardenia. I only get reminded of that Kim Kardashian Fragrance for about a half hour or so. It's along the same DNA though IMO, but this would be like the tiny baby of that smell, it's not the mom like Kim K's Fragrance is. Skip past the sister, and her older daughters. This is definitely the baby version of that Fragrance. It's only loud for a few seconds, then it's very soft and delicate, rather comforting. I think this would best be suited for spring and summer seasons. It would shine beautifully, especially in the daytime. If you like basic white floral Fragrances, nothing screechy or annoying, you'll probably enjoy this. I think that's all I can think of for now. Lol

I like this fragrance and I feel blessed to have found it at a discount store. I am glad to be able to be a contributing part of Whitney's estate, also. Whitney Houston is a feel good fragrance. This eau de toilette smells much better on the skin, than it does spraying the top with the atomizer. I was so pleasantly surprised. I love the notes, especially, the gardenia. All of the notes are blended very well to create this awesome, musky fruity-floral. Fruity-florals are everywhere in this day and age, but Whitney's is done differently. This fragrance has a touch of maturity to it, due to the woody and cashmere dry down. It does not last super long and does need to be reapplied after about 2.5 hours. This was a blind buy. I bought this for myself as a Valentine's Day gift. I decided to wear it yesterday. My husband and I went for a 2-day getaway for our anniversary. I decided to wear Whitney Houston as we checked out of our room and ran a couple errands. It was absolutely perfect for daily activities. My husband loves it. I understand that the fragrance was created posthumously and Whitney never gave her approval. I can respect people's concerns about this issue. For this reason, Whitney Houston Eau de Toilette may not be a safe blind buy. But... for those of us who want to contribute to her estate, love Whitney Houston, and just want to smell great--this is a wonderful find and a great gift!

As a lifelong Whitney fan, I had to pick this up. I’m glad her family decided to put this fragrance out in her memory. It’s a light and simple skin scent. Brightness up top with the pear leaf and neroli. White florals (gardenia and jasmine) with a prominent musky base on the dry down. There’s an innocence to this, and I could see her wearing this more in her early days. I appreciate family’s contribution in putting something together that they felt was symbolic of her. I saw there was a mention of Kim Kardashian’s first scent in comparison as they share a lot of the DNA (but this is much lighter!). They are so right, KK’s is the “mom” and Whitney’s is the “baby.” It’s a good example on why it’s hard to judge on notes alone when selecting a fragrance.
