Wildfox

I've kind of really wanted this since I first laid eyes on that absolutely beautiful bottle in Nordstrom (and of course I liked the perfume itself) but I always held off... until I recently discovered that the store is soon closing in my town which I'm in denial about. So, with that in mind, I took the leap and made my probably last purchase there and I have... mostly no regrets. And now that I was fully able to wear it around all day, I knew this would be perfectly suited for the spring weather soon to come which I'm excited about. I also couldn't help but notice it smelled somewhat similar, and it didn't take long for it to hit me that it was Couture Couture by Juicy Couture I was thinking of. Glad to see another commenter noted the same thing. So if you are familiar with Juicy, think of that only replacing the more grapey notes with honey and there you have Wildfox. The longevity is decent on me, though I go back and forth on the honey, sometimes it's more prevalent than I like, other times I can smell and appreciate the other notes. Now, because it does closely remind me of Juicy, chances are I will not make a future re-purchase when I can get the other at a fraction of a cost. But it is a cheerful, nice, springtime scent that I will definitely use, and again, seriously, the bottle is a stunner.

I get exactly the notes listed, except the musk and ambroxan. I'm not getting laundry or love's baby soft. I'm getting clean waxy camelia dipped in honey, candied honeysuckle, peppery wormwood. The apricot and incense tempering what would otherwise be juvenile to a sort of whimsical alto. I've read that women wear makeup for other women (since men don't notice or care about such things), and in that vein, I feel like this fragrance is an interpretation of femininity for other women, as a man wouldn't think to highlight these particular moods. I really like it. Its unpretentious, it's mellow, its unconventionally sweet. *EDIT Four hours post spray it is down to ambroxan and musk, emanating only a few inches from the skin. Quite boring. But if I smash my nose into my wrist I can find the honey. For the price, that three and a half hours was delightful.

Edit -- I'm really falling in love with this! I catch whiffs of it through the day and just can't get enough. It's so feminine yest sultry at the same time. I really dont get the negative reviews, on me, this fragrance is just heavenly. Really toying with the idea of a full bottle! I definitely get the Alien feel. On me, it's a warm, musky jasmine. Not cloying, heavy, or too light. It's sweet but not gourmand. I don't want to use the word fresh or clean, because it isn't crisp. So I'll use spicy, warm, and classy. Could be worn all times of the year...a very easy going fragrance. This would be fun to mix with other scents. I love it :)

One of my favourites. Really soft, feminine perfume, no masculine notes. Apricot and honey and jasmine are dominant. Absinthe gives slight bitter feeling, but this is sweet and cute perfume. I read that founder of Wildfox want to recreate the smell of Los Angeles with this perfume. LA supossed to smell like jasmine bushes. Now it is discontinued, but I have plenty backup bottles for the future.

Absolutely lovely! I usually cannot wear a perfume with honey as a prominent note due to it becoming too sweet on me, but the honey note in this is tamed nicely by the other notes and blended well with the beautiful honeysuckle. It is ultra feminine, soft, but with a bit of an exotic twist. Silage is close to skin, but on me longevity is aprox 4 hours. I got nice compliments on this one too.
