Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely Eau de Parfum for Women, 50 ml

Product Information

I knew it was along the lines of Lancome Idole and Narciso Rodriguez because I watch YouTube reviewers. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).

The new contemporary bottle features stylish soft greys drawn from Parisian and Scandinavian influence, along with a lovely pink grosgrain ribbon, paying homage to SJP’s love for ballet. I’ve been wearing it since 2015 and always get gift sets of it for Christmas so I have many sizes raging from the 5ml all the way to the 200ml. It possesses an elegance characteristic of classic fragrances, and yet the fragrance is quite modern and very charming. This is more of a linear perfume, it doesn't transition or morph into different fragrance notes during the transitions from first spray to final dry down.Thus, when I sprayed it on for the first time, I was taken back a little by the woodsy, musky, lavendery bite. On my skin the citruses and musk are prominent but it’s so smooth and calming , very well blended and it’s so calming to me due to the lavender. She said her daughter had bought it for her and that she can’t really smell it herself, but others around her tell her it’s lovely, as did I! I really try to tease out the musk, salt, lavender and martini notes in this but I just get a blur of harsh femininity.

The lavender is the top note for me; I do catch a bit of the narcissus and possibly orchid, but this is mostly a woody aromatic scent. It's a fresh and clean scent, however that patchouli really gives it an edge throughout the entire longevity (which is moderate).These are different, and ANG is more of a cross between Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDP and Noir de Noir Tom Ford. Lavender can be a risky note for me, but here it avoids the sharp medicinal quality it sometimes has and instead is slightly powdery and aromatic. So maybe it’s one you’ve got to try yourself because it seems like it smells different on different people. It’s so affordable that I don’t feel I need to save it for a special occasion as I do with my pricier perfumes.

I was expecting it to be really powdery and musky, but I find it to have a lot more going on beyond those notes - in a good way. It's about a 90% dupe of it, similar enough to remind me of my beautiful mother but slightly softer with less silage and projection than I remember of Maja.

By itself it’s a bright and fresh version of For Her EDT for when you don’t want to project any sexiness at all. You just have to get past that initial nasty head and it’s not a perfume you could just spray on your clothing.

And not because it is a very close copy of Narcisco Rodriguez, just softer, but because it is very outstanding! Just received this perfume and I’m not sure if it’s old or a bad batch or if I just don’t like it but it is not lovely.
