 Beautiful, elegant--not for kids. |

| Reviewer: Cristin B., Milwaukee WI |
I've worn primarily green/citrus scents for years--Hugo Boss Woman, Happy to Be--and was very happy with them. I smelled this first on a scent strip and was intrigued; it had the crispness I like in the greener scents, but also a softness I've missed in my scents, an unexpected light musk richness. I have weird chemistry & most scents are dicey on me, so I tried this half a dozen times before purchasing, and every time I tried it, I found something new to love. I'm 30--well beyond wishing to smell 'cute'--and this fragrance is exactly what I'm growing into, a scent for a sophisticated woman. It's not old, it's not young; it's mature, and equally appropriate with a sweater and jeans or evening wear. The only scent I bother with anymore. I've had great success with the life of the scent--I put it on at 8am and my husband can still smell it on me at bedtime--but I prefer that it be subtle enough that only a person standing next to me smell it; perhaps some who find it short-lived prefer a bolder scent.
I'm thrilled with Lovely. I don't expect to change perfumes again for years. |
Pooh's review

| I saw on Oprah the intro of LOVELY with Sarah J. Parker. I ordered and was not disappointed. It's very feminine. It's a light scent, but it does leave one wanting another whiff. The bottle is a little tricky to hold but it's a beautiful bottle. I have worn BEAUTIFUL only by Estee Lauder for years, but am now alternating between LOVELY and BEAUTIFUL. I don't think one would be disappointed. |
AN ULTRA FEMININE SCENT
|
| Review Date: October 3, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Gail Cooke, TX, USA |
Is there anyone who doesn't know the name Sarah Jessica Parker? Okay. Think "Carrie" on TV's enormously successful "Sex and the City." She was the gal who dressed to the nines - always with style and glamour. She brings both of those qualities to her first fragrance, "Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker."
It's a unique, almost indescribable blend of classicism, chic, and innocence. There's not a scent like it with top notes of fresh Mandarin, Bergamot, Lavender, and Apple Martini. Vibrant and warm it's a fragrance that caresses the senses.
Middles notes are Patchouli, tender Paper Whites, and luxe Orchid. These are enhanced by bottom notes of irresistible white amber, sensuous cedar, and the very sultry musk. This is a scent I revel in, and enjoy wearing.
The bottle is, of course, simple and exquisite, curved with polished glass, ultra feminine.
Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker is a beautiful, dreamy yet quite alive fragrance appropriate for every occasion. |
IT'S DELIGHTFUL, IT'S DE-LOVELY!

The fragrance smells wonderful; as always, test it on your skin and let it blend before buying

Here's the facts about any type of fragrance. They don't smell the same on everyone. In fact, one of my favorites always smelled like bubble gum on someone else I knew, while it retained a much deeper, sensuous fragrance on me. I've had my share of bad perfume matches so I caution you to test this (or any product) first.
If you happen to like the way it reacts with your unique biochemistry (as I did) then it is well worth getting. I found it was neither overpowering or an imitation of other fragrances out there. It is mildly noticable but not to the point of bothering people. All the comments I got were very positive.
I hesitate to describe WHAT it will smell like to you because of that whole body chemistry thing but I found it to have light floral overtones with some richer, slightly spicy notes in there as well. I would describe it as primarily floral, with an emphasis on fresh, clean and summery. |

Aren't we all just a little sick of smelling like a grocery store? I never could understand all the fruit and vegetable scents and then they came out with vanilla cookie, pumpkin pie, gingerbread...I've gained five pounds just smelling perfumes!
Lovely, on the other hand, is aptly named. It's a beautiful, feminine scent designed for the female that desires an aura of sophistication and beauty. And you won't be mistaken for a fruit salad! |
Classic Scent

| Reviewer: Jennifer Andrews, Irvine, CA |
This is a classic fragrance, not your overpowering J-Lo, B'Spears, etc. I wish I could explain the scent...but it is tough to describe. It isn't fruity or flowery. Perhaps a bit of lavendar though? Basically, you don't overpower a room with it. It has a bit of an "old-world"-ness to it...but as far as I am concerned, that is a wonderful thing. I am a 31 year old professional, I wear it daily and out at night, and I just love it.

| Reviewer: Nikita Jolie, |
| I lean toward lighter scents and Lovely doesn't disappoint. It's soft, feminine, quirky and not over the top. Not cloying or overwhelming. It's what I expected of SJP. I bought this two months ago and it's 1/2 done. Great for daytime but can work for evenings too. |
Classic Fragrance

| Review Date: November 10, 2006 |
| Reviewer: JW, Houston, TX, USA |
This is a well-blended, complex, layered fragrance. It is quite heady going on, and you only need to use a very light spritz. It lasted all day without changing character. This is probably because its a parfum spray, not eau de toilette. This sized bottle should last a long time. Perfumes are very subjective, but I really liked the scent. You can still smell a lingering fragrance on your skin after having a shower. Its definitely a classic style rather than contemporary - think Chanel rather than J Lo or Brittney. Overall, I think its one of the best new perfumes out.
I bought this direct from Amazon - great price, and buying direct from Amazon I know I will get the real thing, not a knock-off. I don't have the same confidence in other online stores, whether they sell through Amazon or not. I have bought from some well-known online perfume stores in the past and been sent imitations or old stock - ugh. It has made me very cautious about where I shop. Some fakes are obvious but other ones are very clever and you can only detect the imitation if you are already familiar with the product. |

| Reviewer: Kimberly Carlile, Boston, USA |
I first caught a whiff of Lovely when giving one of my classy friends a big hug one day. "What are you wearing?" I asked. "It's the new Lovely," she responded. Being a big SJP fan, I knew exactly what she was talking about. I asked for a 3 piece set for Mothers' Day, and have been wearing this fragrance DAILY ever since.
I don't know why others call it an "old lady's fragrance" because I've loved perfumes all my life, and this suggests nothing of an old lady's fragrance. For that, you need an Estee Lauder's White Linen or Jean Patou's Sublime.
No, Lovely is really a wonderful arrival for perfume lovers. It's light, yes, but refreshing in a world of cloying-sweet, drugged fragrances populating the perfume counters. I would describe Lovely as first, Clean, with a hint of Prettiness. You know the scene in Something's Gotta Give, when the Keanu Reeves character tells the Diane Keaton character that she smells wonderful, and she says "it's just soap." THAT could be Lovely. There IS the lightest whisper of soap. I love it, especially after the shower right after my workout. To me, there is a hint of Lillies of the Valley. Or peppery Lilacs. It's the perfect fragrance for Spring and Summer. I hope they never change the formula; to me, it's JUST RIGHT! |
Very bright; nice scent

| This is a nice perfume for day or night -- It's not sweet or clinging; it does have a fresh floral underlay, yet it's suitable for nighttime wear. Every time I wear it, someone invaribly says, "you smell good; what do you have on?" It's not overpowering. It seems to last, too; just a few sprays behind the ears is sufficient to keep you going all day. I work with women who are very sensitive to perfumes and this one has never bothered them in the least. |
Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker for Women *or* Men
|
| Review Date: December 13, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Mister Quickly, Victoria, BC Canada |
The dividing line between men's and women's fragrances has always been a very porous one. Fragrances can cross that border with the ease of a Swede into Germany after the Schengen Agreement. Why would I include such a statement before reviewing this product? It's because I've been wearing 'Lovely' by Sarah Jessica Parker all week. I was on public transport Saturday when someone came up, wafted their hand and said "crisp apple martini flirting with silky white amber. There is also an interloping patchouli." I nodded my head as I realised this person's sentence evoked perhaps the most gender neutral connotations, validating my choice in scent.
Therefore, I recommend this fragrance for men as well. |

| A friend was wearing this recently and several of us asked her what it was. I normally don't wear perfume because it will usually gives me a headache. I went to Dillards to try a sample to see if my body chemistry worked with it and I LOVE it. I could even smell a faint whiff the next day before my shower. Very long lasting, light and fresh smelling like you've just taken a shower. Hope my husband found some for me as most stores were sold out. |
Fragrance Opinion is Subjective - I love this scent

I recieved this perfume for Christmas from my husband. I love it. I am very picky about scents - I actually didn't have any until I recieved this one. I had given all the others away for being too strong, too flowery, too sweet, etc.
I love this scent. It is subtle and not overwhelming. So, I thought I would write a review to let people know that, while others may not like it, I do. |

| I have never really been a perfume wearer, untill I smelled this. I can't get enough of it. It's not to strong so it overpowers you, its just right. Perfumes have always smelled really fake and chemically to me and this one smells natural and floral. If you are a person who doesn't often like to wear perfume because of the strong smells you should give this a try, you will love it! |
A Classic, Earth Scent
|
| Review Date: April 22, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Janet Woodrome, |
When I first smelled this scent in a magazine sample, it immediately grabbed my attention. I had to get it! So, the first time I could find it at a reasonable price, I bought some on the spot. I was not disappointed. The scent is rich and earthy. Lovely has a full tone that reminds me of a greenhouse full of orchids, while at the same time being as fresh as clover. It has become my signature scent.
The only problem I could find with it was its lack of staying power. I bought the roll-on version of the scent, where you apply it to your pressure points. The scent would linger beautifully for an hour, then fade to nothing. Out of all the scents I have ever worn, this has to be the shortest lasting of all.
Still, it's worth it. For Lovely, I am willing to tote around a roll-on for re-application throughout the day. It's a small inconvenience for a scent so beautiful and unique. |
I Don't understand the bad reviews????????

| Reviewer: emmylou, New England |
| Please don't believe the bad reviews. Try it for yourself. Many fragrances smell different on many people. This scent is all at once a clean and light smell and a sexy, feminine fragrance. It is sophisticated and not a typical "celebrity scent" It is not too heavy, nor does it require freshening all day. It is feminine with a slight undertone of french quality musk (not the drugstore musk so many of us think of when we hear musk) I would say it is feminine not a unisex fragrance. I own it and my husband loves it. He smelled it on someone else in a restaurant recently and said to me "she smells nice" I knew it was Lovely but it smelled a bit different on her than me. It was still a wonderful smell and I confirmed it was indeed Lovely. SJP did put a lot of input and work into this fragrance in the conception of it. It is not just an endorsement!!! Try it, you won't be sorry!!!!! |

A MODERN SENSUOUS SCENT

Is there anyone who doesn't know the name Sarah Jessica Parker? Okay. Think "Carrie" on TV's enormously successful "Sex and the City." She was the gal who dressed to the nines - always with style and glamour. She brings both of those qualities to her first fragrance, "Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker."
It's a unique, almost indescribable blend of classicism, chic, and innocence. There's not a scent like it with top notes of fresh Mandarin, Bergamot, Lavender, and Apple Martini. Vibrant and warm it's a fragrance that caresses the senses.
Middles notes are Patchouli, tender Paper Whites, and luxe Orchid. These are enhanced by bottom notes of irresistible white amber, sensuous cedar, and the very sultry musk. This is a scent I revel in, and enjoy wearing.
The bottle is, of course, simple and exquisite, curved with polished glass, ultra feminine.
Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker is a beautiful, dreamy yet quite alive fragrance appropriate for every occasion. |
