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.

I guess they tried to find the "magic" formula. Cozy, warm, sexy, clean and attractive. I'm a guy and I find it beautiful. I know, this is not a revolutionary perfume. But after testing so many great ideas and promising stories, it's nice to find a simple fragrance that do what others can't: delivers. A musky sensual fragrance. Feminine and utterly clean. I can't say more, wonderful.

I really love this. On me it is POWERFUL. Lasts mostly all day, I get lots of compliments. Mind you, I do layer this with Jovan Musk oil, as I do with most of my florals... I definitely get alot of the incense in this as well, which I love. No powder, no laundry detergent note, and no vanilla, on me. All floral, incense, and MUSK. Strongly recommend.

One of my most reached for scents because she is easy and effortless. She fits all occasions because there is a little bit of sweet fruit, a little bit of floral flare, a little honey and amber. It’s hard to put your finger on any one dominant note because it is a very well-balanced and beautifully blended scent. She will always be in my collection.

This is my signature scent, which pains me to say since it's been discontinued. I get light white florals and slightly sweet honey. This is a close to the skin scent for me. I almost smell slight similarities to Yara by Lattafa, which doesn't make sense with the note profiles, but scratches that itch with the sweet florals.

As others have said, this fragrance evokes memories & familiarity. My first thought was the roller rink in the 1970s & 80s. Maybe the incense or musk? It's very likable, in fact I love it, but it's TOO LIGHT!! It fades away in an hour to a salty musk, that is very sexy, but you really have to try hard to smell it.

This is very appealing and wearable. Sweet and natural smelling - good blend. I get peach in it too. For me, its familiar notes are a plus.

The incense note is the strongest note in this for me, followed by vintage powdery florals.

This smells exactly as if you took Gucci Bloom and added a dollop of honey for (natural) sweetness. The honeysuckle is so prominent and lifts this with a nice fruity floral tang, and then jasmine gives it that white floral smoothness. I don't get much apricot, usually that note becomes too syrupy and cloying on my skin. If anything I detect more of a citrus, I would've guessed tangerine/orange. It's so whimsical and flirty and not too heavy but also has the performance and blending you'd expect from a proper perfume. This doesn't smell like something you'd pick up at Victoria's Secret, it's much more sophisticated than that. If you liked Gucci Bloom I recommend giving this a try. And I can't believe how discounted it's become considering the smell and its gorgeous packaging, I'll be picking up a full bottle of this one soon. Edit: I now have the largest sized bottle in my possession. The only complaint I have is that this doesn't have the best performance. It's a good thing these bottles are now heavily discounted, because you have to spray on quite a bit just to get it to last a few hours. I'd imagine you'll need no less than 10 sprays to last all day. But when I do have to reenter my cabinet to touch up, I'm captivated by the stunning bottle. It's really much more beautiful in person than the pictures can do it justice. It looks like something you spent a couple hundred bucks on at neiman marcus/nordstrom, when in all actuality you can get it on ebay for $25. And for that price, I'd say it's well worth it.

I have passed this up again and again in TJ Maxx, Marshalls etc. as my 'Spidey senses' told me it was not to be. Recently received a sample in a bundled sample lot. Initial try: generic medley of recently modern done-to-death-frags which seem to be redolent in the mainstream industry as of late. I get the honey, as well as the flowery notes, along with the musk. Not sure whether the initial blast which had me backpedal a bit at first was the absinthe, but it dissipated quickly. @Beantoes . . I get the Viva la Juicy a bit at first, but then it morphs into mellow notes and becomes less juicier. Darker, riper, honeyed fruits but with depth. I can't believe that the musk at the dry down is keeping this one alive all on its own strength, so it must be the Ambroxan working overtime in the background. I love Ambroxan, so this may be its saving grace. I wish I could detect an incense note. That would make this an instant purchase. I think I am trying too hard to find a reason to buy this beyond the sample, but I am not going to try too much longer. I will see whether the longevity will keep it as a maybe for later purchase. @colorfulmess . . .I was not trying to associate it with a bathroom air freshener, but since you mentioned it, yes, it did remind me of that. Not sure how well I am receiving this since I read your post. Hopefully that will change (fingers crossed , LOL) For me, honey notes mixed with florals have to be done just so, otherwise it becomes a hot mess.

I like this but it is not what I expected. The name Wildfox and the stand-out gawdy bottle would imply a bold and heady perfume that makes an entrance, but instead, I get a soft and delicate oriental floral that is suitable for a younger lady. I like the apricot and honey. This lasted 3 to 4 hours on me, and would be perfect as a skin scent during a nice spring day when you don't want to offend anyone. It smells like a watered-down mixture of Modern Muse and Viva La Juicy layered together on my skin. It is nice, though, but not nice enough to pay full price for it, but if makes it to TJ Maxx or Marshalls, I would consider buying it a discount price. EDIT: I wore a sample of this perfume to work and got compliments right after I walked in the door. The more I wear it, the more I am beginning to love it. I realize that when it comes to perfume, it's all about chemistry.

i like this. it isnt anything unique or special but it is nice. i get a lot of honey and apricot mixed with white florals and musk. it smells really nice like casual spring scent. i would say more business casual and a little too casual for business professional. more of a younger under 30 scent. i think being 34 i am a bit too old for it. its nice but i imagine a young lady in her early 20s maybe just out of college hanging out with friends on the weekend. maybe they are driving somewhere during the day for a day trip. and you could be stuck in a car with this scent and not be driven crazy. that being said i would probably buy it even though i think im a little too old for it if it was like at least half off. otherwise i would rather spend my money on perfumes that scream "me" than this kinda not unique scent.

I could not pass up a price of $10 for 1.7oz bottle of this perfume in a discount store, even if only to see what magic potion can a gorgeous bottle like this hold. The bottle is the best thing about this fragrance, actually. But I wouldn't say I dislike the fragrance - it's soft white floral with honey and something weird, a bit spicy(?), probably that's how I perceive incense here. The scent is nice and comforting, good for winding down after a long day, before-sleep type of scent - soft 30-min. longevity "pajamas" fragrance. It doesn't feel synthetic or sharp on the initial application, the very fast dry-down is warm, soft and sweet. Very simple fragrance and very weak, but for $10 it's worth it. I can't believe the original price tag on this. I really like the fancy bottle, though.

The best way I can describe this fragrance is "honeyed laundry detergent" which sounds like a pejorative but it's not; I actually really like it. Fresh and nonchalantly sexy in a modern/youthful way, I find it kind of addictive even though the building blocks seem so basic. I'm happy to have it in my collection! This is honey done in a light & sparkly way - I like to think of this as the nicer sister of Kim K Pure Honey (which I actually dislike, but the honey there is reminiscent of the honey here, it's sheer and floral & not heavy). Also reminds me a bit of DKNY Nectar Love but closer to the skin and muskier.

I blind bought this rollerball at Nordstrom's. I was surprised when the SA advised against purchasing it, but now I understand she deals with people mostly looking for a signature scent and this would not fit that bill. On skin, I find this to be a linear, well-rounded, well-blended, soft, unassuming scent. Slightly non-gourmand honeyed floral bolstered with a hint of musk and ambroxan. It is an inoffensive day wear perfume perfect for office or medical work. It wears close to the skin and gradually fades over a few hours.

A sweet and airy fruity floral. I really like it for the reason that it smells exactly like how Wildfox clothing looks. It's young, very femme, flirty, pastel, and fun. A boozy opening evolves into a fragrant gummy-candy-smelling fruit (apricot) plus jasmine-y combo. Base is a nice soft musk / incense with amber. I don't smell the honey very much as a distinct note, but the entire perfume is pretty sweet. An uncomplicated, likeable scent that I feel would work best for a young person... or the young at heart!
