About this deal

It’s muskier and cleaner and frankly less interesting. It is a tuberose, but without any buttery or heavy or bubblegumy quality.

I've had this perfume for a couple of years, a big 100ml bottle, that I had just barely used. I've started wearing it again and I've gone from thinking it's nice to absolutely craving this scent. I can definitely smell the tomato leaf, which is complimented by a very subtle mandarin. It doesn't really smell citrusy, just juicy and sweet. The tomato leaf is also more noticeable in warm weather I've noticed. I've heard people compare this fragrance to Barbie Dolls due to a nostalgic 90's plastic vibe, which I imagine is the tuberose (which can have a slight synthetic sweetness to it) and violet (which is slightly powdery and reminiscent of cosmetics). I personally smell the Frangipani more which is fresh, sweet and almost tropical fruity at certain angles. It's a watery green floral for me, it's mood is refreshing and cool but not men's cologne cool and also somehow powdery? After the green mandarin, it stays sunny and becomes a bit more floral - frangipani and tiny hints of tuberose come forward. The tuberose is not a massive, buttery mess -- I've had a few bad encounters with tuberose that induce a sort of nauseating effect but this was not in your face or over the top tuberose. The faces of advertising campaigns are Kenya Kinski-Jones (model, daughter of producer Quincy Jones and actress Nastassja Kinski), Grimes (pop singer), Lola Leon (Madonna's daughter) and Amandla Stenberg (actress, best known for her role as Rue in the "Hunger Games"). A hazy, cool-hued fantasy of shady forest flowers and pristine brooks. It opens with astringent, spicy-acrid tomato leaf coated in a smooth powder of pulverized, violet candies.the photography may be of a different size of the same product. Please read the product description And it’s underwhelming. Only bc I have aggressively collected fragrance in the past 5 years and have so many bottles and decants that things are beginning to smell the same to me unless it truly stands out. Sandalwood and musk were more prominent than the cedar or violet to my nose but it definitely is a well rounded, simple scent.

Definitely my favourite tuberose perfume and I suspect it's the violet that just mixes so perfectly with it!. Almost invisible at first but blooms on the skin. I think it kind of struggles in high heat. On me it seems to work best in cool-warm weather rather than cold or hot, so it's a perfect transitional scent for going from Summer to Autumn or Spring to Summer. I'm wearing it today and it smells perfect! I can smell every note but not too much of any and it's not too sharp or sweet (I sadly find Pop Bluebell a bit sharp!). Many people say this is a young or teenage scent, but I wouldn't say that's true. It feels appropriate for any age range in my opinion because it's bright and fresh, yet a little deep with just enough note complexity to keep it interesting and has a nice level of sophistication. I think anyone from a young lady to an older lady could wear this and it would suit them just fine!

One of the first associations I got with this was gummi candy, mostly the tart and fruity combination. It's not a syrupy sweet, but it felt candy-like to me, which I am totally about so it didn't ~offend~ me or make me feel like I was being marketed to as though I had no taste. This is a very happy, fun scent and certainly made well! I could spray my whole body with this and then some ! The more I spray it the more I smell the sandalwood ! Big love for me. But my sample came to an end , thanks genny17. , now I have to wait for my very expensive bottle ! Our liability is limited and excluded to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. We will All that being said, I guess I will use the bottle up anyway. It is, as many reviewers have written before me, a freshly-out-of-the-shower fragrance, which is something one does want now and then. However, I will not mourn the passing of this fragrance either. To me, it‘s on the lower end of ok.

I will say this is nice though but not groundbreaking. It’s an easy reach and inoffensive. I’m not sure I needed another woody, fresh, powdery floral in my collection though. The og Stella is my favorite from this house and something I’ll always have in my collection. This one I’ll likely go through the bottle and will experiment with layering. It immediately wears soft and fruity, but it's tart-fruity (mandarin)! Not sure about the tomato leaf, as it's never been a note in any of my other fragrances but I'm sure it added something I just couldn't quite detect.I blind-bought this because I like the original Stella and the notes in this one intrigued me. Also, I'm not gonna lie, I loved the purple-hued ad and felt in need of a bit of escapism after 2021 didn't start with the change we all hoped it would. It smells quite different from everything I own and if I were to write down what it smells like to me, I would NEVER buy this perfume based on that description. :D It is - as many reviewers mentioned - quite plastic-y and sweet, but not fruity or gourmet sweet, more like synthetic sugar syrup kind of sweet. When people mentioned that it smells like the 2000s, I had no idea what they meant, but now when I put it on, it makes total sense. It has a very youthful, lipgloss and glitter vibe to it. However, there is a fresh, clean, gentle floral note that balances out the sweetness and keeps it from becoming a plastic doll head type of scent. Once it settles on me, it kind of smells like play-dough, soap, spring flowers and fresh blueberries all at once. And somehow it works.

One of the faces of the fragrance campaign is the Canadian singer Claire Elise Boucher, aka Grimes. The bottle iss designed in simply cut, pure, transparent glass with a round, vivid pink cap.The fragrance is available as an Eau de Parfum.

Don't expect this to be the holy grail of perfumery or some profound experience. Walk in without expecting the world and you might enjoy the experience Pop has to offer. The bottle’s design is updated with a purple cap. It is available as a 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. She's bright, sunny and doesn't take itself too seriously. As many other respectable simple scents do, too!
