I lived in the UK from '94-'03. When came across you on YouTube I remember having seen you on TV there, but couldn't remember which show(s)! It's driving me crazy. Which ones did you host? I absolutely love this channel, by the way.
This smells like a pine tree lumberjack. It is totally for a dude. It is not lovely. It is burley. They are not selling it at Walgreens anymore, because it is not selling. I bought it on sale. It smells like pine sol and licorice. I don't hate it, but I would never wear it anywhere. It also smells like menthol . It smells like a combo between eating licorice that has soaked in pine sol and stealing a smoke from your mom who smokes kools.
@shannkaray Wow! i wanted to check this fragrance out now im scared. The image of the burley lumberjack and smoking kools while eating pine sol licorice makes me think of mountain men and the 6th sense( where the lady was slipping pine sol in the little girls food) makes it impossible for me to try it!
I saw the commercial, I am so intrigued. Sarah is cool, Lovely was an AMAZING first attempt at a fragrance and by a celebrity no less..... I wonder what Covet is like.
I'm in the Middle of Reading The Perfect Scent; I already own Un Jardin Sur Le Nil and now I want to try Lovely. The Paperback came with a little scent strip on a bookmark - it only has the base notes, woody musky, but they are very nice.
@KristaJanicki I learned so much about the perfume industry by reading The Perfect Scent. Chandler Burr had such great access, and provides fascinating insights.
I'm really enjoying learning about perfumes. Because of you, I have become interested the way perfumes are made. I feel like I've got an educated nose!
I have Lovely and NC for her. They do smell a little similar but not enough to have just one Of then. Well, i spilled some White Shoulders on my hand before i sprayed for a comparison test. So it could be that they both dmelled like WShoulders.
Some time ago i wanted to buy WS n my sister said, you aré NOT going to buy that!!! Its for old ladies!!
Less than 30 seconds later an elderly woman walked by and said, oh I love that perfume! It's my favorite! Hehe
What do you think about the Kate Moss perfumes? Do you think she also didn't have anything to do with them ;-)? Oh and could you maybe do a review on Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel and Style by Jil Sander? That would be great! LOVE your reviews!
@inna6373 I like the very first one, "Kate". I like that rose and patchouli together. I'd wager a guess that like most celebs who release scents (aside from Sarah Jessica Parker, who's very hands-on), they show up to sign the contract, and maybe sniff an iteration or two, and that's it. Oh and then they show up for the launch party!
Katie, I bought Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker and I love it! It's not overly feminine at all, and it's honestly, as you said, "so easy to wear!". It's subtle and warm, a light floral set against woods and musk. And it lasts on my skin too! Thanks for the tip! And you're right, I love ambery-musky skin scents! Which is why my next perfume purchase is Prada Amber Pour Homme. You rock! As usual. =)
Yay, Brian! Thanks for letting me know about another Lovely-for-guys success story. Don't know if we already talked about this, but you should also check out Kenzo Power to tickle your musky-ambery fancy.
i love flower bomb for everyday ... guessby marciano for nights... and i just like viva la juicy umm yeah just kinda fruity scents but still like kind of classy in a way
What kind of perfumes do you usually go for? I find it helpful to know what people like so I can point peeps in the right direction when they ask for recommendations.
The mention of Anise reminded me of Lolita Lempicka by Lolita Lempicka. I own it and love it. Are you familiar with it? Sephora describes it as a woody oriental, if that helps.
Generally, celebrity scents are a cynical ploy to cash in on fans' devotion to their favorite star, and they have the development budget of a household cleaner - and often smell about the same.
They often have fine perfumers creating them, but they can only do so much with the budget they're given.
Lovely, however, stands head and shoulders above most celebrity scents, because SJP was actually a creative director of the fragrance (as opposed to just signing off on a finished product, as is typical). Also, Coty invested more money and care in this release.
great video, as always! i like and wear both Lovely and Covet, think both are very tasteful and amazingly well done. these are also the only celebrity fragrances in my collection.
A question: maybe i've missed it but i don't think you have a video on Mandragore by Annick Goutal? i'm curious about yr opinion. maybe one day? thank you!
I've not reviewed Mandragore yet. I have a funny "blind spot" with that one - I can never remember what it smells like the second after I sniff it. I think I expect it to smell a certain way based on the color of the bottle, and when it doesn't, my brain can't process it!
interesting! based on the bottle i expected the fragrance to be "darker" and maybe... warmer? i don't know. there's something about it that intrigues me. maybe it's just to buy it and get the mystery over with:))
i agree with the celebrity perfumes, except you should all check out Usher, really good especially if you like sweet cedar. Covet... it's got fantastic staying power like 6hrs, and its like a good cup of strong black tea with lemon served next to a dainty vase of flowers (the bergamont smell i guess reminds me of english tea )
i don't associate Covet with tea at all:))) to me it's lemony and then chocolaty with a touch of lavender and musk... i like it that it's cosy enough to qualify as a nice fall/winter smell and still its sweetness is not at all overpowering, in fact at times it feels, i don't know.. transparent... and i like perfumes with some masculine edge, there is a small hint of that in Covet, too.
Katie Puckrik is the most beautiful woman in the world. Ever. Just watch her Vera Wang video! Do you watch and reply to these sad comment boys MIss Puckrik??!!
Thanks for weighing in, iz. I do try to get a reality check from fragrance-loving guys before I encourage perfume "cross-dressing". I know that Lovely has an under-the-radar following from in-the-know fellows.
I wonder what you think of Kenzo Power (for men, this time!), which strikes me as a tentative version of Lovely: soft florals and amber.
Well, I wonder if another men is going to read this, but I can back Katie's opinion when she says that this smells great on a man. Well, at least, it smells great on me. And yes, I am heterosexual (not that it really matters when it comes to perfumes), and my girlfriend loves it on me.
Do you think this is a perfume one could wear during the day? I really like it, but I don´t know if if would be too strong for the day. What do you tihink?
etorig, you can definitely wear Lovely during the day. The light woody/floral/musk combo dries down to a "your skin, but better", and it's not too flamboyant.
Just go easy on the initial application, because the musk aspect can be a little strong to begin with.
You should do a review on the Christina Aguilera perfume. The 'sometimes, it's all you need to wear' one. It's beautiful, and doesn't get the review it deserves.
I find Lovely clean and fresh, a little overpoweringly so when it first goes on though. Great review, Katie!
Katie - love all your 'fume knowledge and how you present the top, mid and base notes in an easy to understand way. I think a talk show or at least a segment on one is the next logical step. Need to see more Katie! Talk it up!
I think that this is one of the best fragrances I have ever used! I feel so clean and fresh when I am wearing it. It is my current signature scent. I am also using the body lotion and shower gels and just think it is .... LOVELY! Any ideas on her newer fragrances?
I have to agree, I tend to shy away from celebrity fragrances because they always smell cheap, like something you can buy at walmart...which is usually where it ends up=D But I have to say this one survived that...at least for now haha.
I love your reviews. I was wondering if you could do a review on Sarah Jessica Parkers newest Smells. Her set of three perfumes, Dawn, Twilight, and Endless.
As far as ruts go, Shalimar is a pretty gorgeous one to be stuck in. But I have JUST the thing - my new perfume crush, Miller Harris Fleur Oriental edt. It's a modern, slightly lighter take on Shalimar. I scored a bottle of the pure parfum on ebay at a great price, and I'm transfixed by the lush, vintage vibe.
Also, check out Prada edp, and if you're ever in a Chanel boutique, Coromandel edt. I'd be interested to hear what you think of these!
Another one I just thought of that you might like: Kenzo Flower Oriental, but I think it's a bit harsher than the Miller Harris Fleur Oriental. But worth a sniff.
Guys can wear girls perfumes because I gave my Cool Water to my boyfriend and I am about to give him my secret obsession because that perfume stinks and that is the worst perfume I have ever purchased! I listened to my daughter (she is 11) and she told me to buy it so I did and now I hate it I would give it to her but it is too mature of a scent for her.
Katie,what is your favorite perfume? Just curious mine is Eternity (for years I have loved it). But my current faves areL de Lolita Lempicka, M by Mariah Carey,Deseo and Glow by Jlo.
have you tried Jean Paul Gaultier's (sorry if i misspelled the name) men's fragrance? the bottle of man's figure in white color?i can guarantee you that this perfume is like a bisex perfume :)
OMG! I effing love you! speaking of wearing the opposite sex's perfume/cologne I like to wear my Kenzo's Tokyo and my Husband's Kenneth Cole Reaction... Gonna go hunt down his bottle now. I so love your channel!
Thanks, Girleena! There's no reason why a smell intrinsically has a gender. Complete perfume freedom for boys and girls, that's what I say! And by wearing something from "the wrong side of the perfume counter", you have a better chance of not smelling like everybody else.
I'm addicted to your reviews since i watched the first video of yours. I would love to hear your opinion on Christian Dior's Dirorissimo which is one of my favourite scents, very old, and very unique. Either as a response here on in a video i would love to hear your opinion!
Every time I'm at the Dior counter, I revisit Diorissimo. It's the classic lily of the valley fragrance - almost salty in its pungency. For me, lily of the valley is the Lolita of the flower world: you think it's sweet and innocent, but it turns out to have quite a bit of carnal knowledge!
Hihi i love the way you talk :D SOO gonna subscribe :D findely someone who isnt like convincing people to wear a perfume but just tells her opinion :D
I'm not so much for the licorice smell, it offends my nose, Big Time! So, based on what you said, I might want to avoid this fragrance. Thanks for the heads up!
Frankly, I think the Sarah Jessica Parker association turns a lot of people off, though.
I smelled it when it came out, and thought the name was very appropriate. A female friend who was with me at the time (who actually wears female fragrances) was unimpressed.
aw YAY!!! a perfume that i have reviewed! SOOOO video responding -- thanks so much! YOU DID A GREAT JOB!!! I totally wear this ;) hahah its fairly masculine on my skin :)
Sarah Jessica Parker's involvement in the creation of Lovely is well-documented (Chandler Burr covered the process in his book, "The Perfect Scent". Knowing that SJP is quite the fume-hound herself raised my expectations that Lovely would possess more than a modicum of distinction. But having said all that, it took me ages to get around to actually trying it! It's that "not another hollow celeb perfume" dread.
Some people are acutely sensitive to "white musk" (the stuff that gives a fragrance that clean, soft quality, and is present in Lovely), and find that a little goes a long way.
I find that it clobbers me over the head in the Clean line of fragrances, which are instant headache-inducers in me.
I like how you recommend that men should try it; when I first smelled a knock off of it at Walgreen's, the first thing I thought was that it would probably smell wonderful on a man. I think it's a really great fragrance for a celebrity perfume. While it's not too bold or daring, it's still quite a departure from the fruity florals and aquatics that are out there.
i bot SJP Lovely when it was launched first--its really soft, fresh n floral. But the only con i felt was it does not last long enough...so either u gotta carry it with u or u gotta douse :-(
Hiya, great review, i really like lovely now im nearly finished my first bottle, wasn't too keen at first but i think it really grows on you and its easy to wear. Ive never tried the For Her but now i think i'll try it out!
I reviewed the edp, but for me, the Liquid Satin is my favorite formulation, too. Very soft, subtle...and makes your legs and arms gleam like a glamor puss!
I have bought at least 4 bottles of Lovely in the last couple years it just smells so clean and good for all year round. I do beg to differ that it compares to narcisso rodriguez for Her which smells too manly and spicy..now That is a womans fragrance a man really could wear!
I thought this one was so drugstore-ish that I would have never taken it seriously. Now you have me intrigued.
I love the Jo Malone Fragrances...and mixing them. Tom Ford always has something unusual. I am loving White Patchouli. I love Patchouli Pure by Fresh as well. (LOVE the Fresh company...many good ones in their index)
Nice brow......swag

Another one I just thought of that you might like: Kenzo Flower Oriental, but I think it's a bit harsher than the Miller Harris Fleur Oriental. But worth a sniff.

Guys can wear girls perfumes because I gave my Cool Water to my boyfriend and I am about to give him my secret obsession because that perfume stinks and that is the worst perfume I have ever purchased! I listened to my daughter (she is 11) and she told me to buy it so I did and now I hate it I would give it to her but it is too mature of a scent for her.

Thanks, Girleena! There's no reason why a smell intrinsically has a gender. Complete perfume freedom for boys and girls, that's what I say! And by wearing something from "the wrong side of the perfume counter", you have a better chance of not smelling like everybody else.

I'm addicted to your reviews since i watched the first video of yours. I would love to hear your opinion on Christian Dior's Dirorissimo which is one of my favourite scents, very old, and very unique. Either as a response here on in a video i would love to hear your opinion!

Every time I'm at the Dior counter, I revisit Diorissimo. It's the classic lily of the valley fragrance - almost salty in its pungency. For me, lily of the valley is the Lolita of the flower world: you think it's sweet and innocent, but it turns out to have quite a bit of carnal knowledge!

I'm not so much for the licorice smell, it offends my nose, Big Time! So, based on what you said, I might want to avoid this fragrance. Thanks for the heads up!

Lovely is one of my favorite perfumes. I always get compliments at work whenever I wear it.
Thanks for the great review.

Frankly, I think the Sarah Jessica Parker association turns a lot of people off, though.
I smelled it when it came out, and thought the name was very appropriate. A female friend who was with me at the time (who actually wears female fragrances) was unimpressed.
I'm not so sure about guys wearing it, though.
surfacenoise76 2 years ago
A celeb's name attached to a fragrance can be a double-edged sword, considering the strong feelings people can muster for these "dream figures".
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
I love your review on this product. It's really good how you give a lot of description into your reviews, keep up the good work!

I love this one and it helped me often in these situations when you don't really know what would be appropriate to wear... :-)

I was skeptical of this one because, you know, it's a celebrity perfume. It sounds...lovely...though. I'll have to check it out.

Sarah Jessica Parker's involvement in the creation of Lovely is well-documented (Chandler Burr covered the process in his book, "The Perfect Scent". Knowing that SJP is quite the fume-hound herself raised my expectations that Lovely would possess more than a modicum of distinction. But having said all that, it took me ages to get around to actually trying it! It's that "not another hollow celeb perfume" dread.

Lovely?
Is really strong.
I suggest it for
people in there late 40's 50's and older.
fashiondork60 2 years ago
Some people are acutely sensitive to "white musk" (the stuff that gives a fragrance that clean, soft quality, and is present in Lovely), and find that a little goes a long way.
I find that it clobbers me over the head in the Clean line of fragrances, which are instant headache-inducers in me.
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago

You are now using haiku
It is wonderful
(It's Adrianne, by the way)
I like how you recommend that men should try it; when I first smelled a knock off of it at Walgreen's, the first thing I thought was that it would probably smell wonderful on a man. I think it's a really great fragrance for a celebrity perfume. While it's not too bold or daring, it's still quite a departure from the fruity florals and aquatics that are out there.
sanguinistaa 2 years ago
Hi Adrianne! You busted me, girly, cuz your great Tabu haiku inspired me!
Totally agree that for a celeb fragrance, Lovely is indeed a departure.
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago

i bot SJP Lovely when it was launched first--its really soft, fresh n floral. But the only con i felt was it does not last long enough...so either u gotta carry it with u or u gotta douse :-(

I have bought at least 4 bottles of Lovely in the last couple years it just smells so clean and good for all year round. I do beg to differ that it compares to narcisso rodriguez for Her which smells too manly and spicy..now That is a womans fragrance a man really could wear!
natesmom2244 2 years ago
Interesting take. I'd love to hear a man's view on how those 2 compare.

I thought this one was so drugstore-ish that I would have never taken it seriously. Now you have me intrigued.
I love the Jo Malone Fragrances...and mixing them. Tom Ford always has something unusual. I am loving White Patchouli. I love Patchouli Pure by Fresh as well. (LOVE the Fresh company...many good ones in their index)

I too LOVE Tom Ford's 'White Patchouli'! What do you think of his others? 'Black Orchid'? I haven't tried it yet.
