According to Sarah, the perfume is appropriate for all generations: "from 17 to 107." The fragrance was created by Laurent Le Guernec and Clement Gavarry in 2005 with Sarah herself being the creative director, actively participating in the process from its start to finish. Upon first spray - Lovely and Narcisso Rodriques For Her are the exact chord, however - Narcisso Rodriques FH has more apparent notes that are more distinct. There is a minty fresh note which is singing out rather loudly upon the first spray of NRFH. This minty note seems to be merging into a note that smells like Lavender. There are more evident woodsy notes in NRFH.

Ok so hear me out- I hated this. At first spray I wanted to choke but I was bought for me as a gift so I tried to be nice and appreciative. All I got was some chemically patchouli and lavender. Parker later released a flanker to the Lovely pillar fragrance, entitled Lovely Sheer. Created by the same perfumers who worked on the original fragrance (Gavarry and le Guernec), Lovely Sheer has notes of mandarin, bergamot, orange flower absolute, gardenia water, pink pepper, blonde woods, vetiver, musk and amber. [10] The scent is very reminiscent but I can't quite put my finger on what it smells like. Perhaps I just associated this scent with sophisticated, grown up ladies when I was younger. I am crazy about anything with lavender but the combination here with citrusy notes made it too sharp for my nose (not a big fan of bergamot note). It’s a clean warm salty skin scent that I love and it wafts around me for hours and is so comforting, I even wear this to bed some times as it’s lavender musky combination is so relaxing and cosy.

This wears well. It is not a stand out, this is like wearing a soft cozy sweater that is really comfortable and pillow soft. Nem átlagos, nem mindennapi, nem trendi. Semmi cukor, semmi édesség, vagy vanília. Tiszta, friss, gyengéd, de határozott és nőies. Megosztó, mert vagy szereted, vagy nem. Nem lehetsz semleges. I tested this years ago and recall thinking it wasn’t bad considering I gravitate to gourmands and vanilla florientals…

I see this one as one of THE best celebrity perfumes EVER! And not because it is a very close copy of Narcisco Rodriguez, just softer, but because it is very outstanding! Outstanding from the hundreds of other celebrity fragrances which are always described as sexy, for confident woman, statement and in fact they are most of the time nothing of all that! VELVET Lavender MUSK. Opens with a soft floral-woody burst of lavender supported by multi-faceted bergamot & rosewood that has rosy, fluffy, velvety, musky, powdery, citrus & aromatic nuances, deepening into the floral heart of patchouli-orchid with earthy, watery, floral, velvety & sweet tones, all resting on a musky base with amber-woody nuances. Overall I get fluffy, airy & velvety floral that's similar to a MiddleEastern rose-patchouli blend, with lavender up top. Well above average performance. I was on the fence about this scent profile, but the more times I test this, the more I fall in love with it.I've sampled this fragrance at work, and I have to say I'm really not a fan. Just based off of the profile it looks like something I would really enjoy so I'm beyond disappointed that this isn't something I would wear. There is nothing floral or feminine about this scent. To me, this belongs on a man and even then - it wouldn’t be great. This gets compared to one of the NR fragrances. I still cannot find one NR fragrance that I find even remotely nice so it’s not a surprise My only complaint (and the reason I've rated it as a like instead of love) is that the staying power isn't as good as I remember. It feels like this might have been reformulated over the years and the performance is weaker than I would like. There's not a lot of sillage (if you want it for a work fragrance, this isn't a bad thing necessarily) and it does require topping up through the day. I think that, what I initially thought was horrible, was the acrid permeation of the bergamot. But the drydown, especially after about an hour, is - wow - sublime. And, I mean, SUBLIME. Oh my goodness, how enjoyable is this (if this profile is your type)! This Cinderella. When you splurge on something ‘exclusive’ you treat wearing that as a special event to be remembered forever. You don’t expect much from budget and can be wrong about it. Pricing skews perception a lot. But this is telling me that the best things in life can be free - or near free as Lovely is. What’s even more surprising than the quality of the scent is its staying power. I don’t think ‘you get what you pay for’ applies in this case.
