This is nice. It's a pretty thin fragrance - you have to spritz a fair amount on to get good sillage. It doesn't smell anything like strawberries or flowers. It isn't bad though if you love a good chypre. It's a nice chypre to me - reminds me of Italian chypres like acqua di parma. What it really smells a lot like is Hermes Jardin Mediterranae. Somewhat more masculine or unisex smelling. Defininitely not a "girly" scent. Also reminds me of Victoria's Secret bombshell. Not as interesting as the name, really just a simple chypre.

I dont usually go for a lot of Fresh's fragrances because Im not big into lemon or sweet sugary scents, but this one was so cute and summery sounding I was immediately attracted to it. However, if you're expecting strawberry fruit scent, you'll be disappointed - it is most definitely not a ripe berry scent, though I would still be impressed if ever there was a fragrance that could actually replicate the authentic strawberry. I do disagree with the other reviewers though that say it does not smell anything like its name. This does really smell like the strawberry plant, leaves and has the tartness (and slight citrusy scent) of unripe strawberries. If you have ever spent time around fields of strawberries you will recognize the similarities. Its a more mature strawberry scent, but at least its authentic! Its very summery and is a more sophisticated (but still fresh and youthful) option in my fragrance collection since I usually go for very young fruity scents.

I'm almost done with my second bottle. I love it. It's light and fresh and a fragrance that won't give those around you that scrunched up face you get when you smell something strong and foul. It's perfect for spring and summer although I tend to wear it all year. My only complaint is that it doesn't last long. You can reapply without feeling guilty.

This is a very "safe" sort of scent that I'd reach for if I wanted to blend with the crowd. It's a scent that I feel would be at its best in warm weather. There's absolutely nothing "strawberry" about this fragrance. When I was a child, we had strawberries growing in the side of our yard, and I don't recall the plant smelling anything like Strawberry Flowers. It has a fresh, citrusy and effervescent quality like ginger ale mixed with a light floral smell. There aren't any distinctive individual floral notes, It smells almost like fizzy champagne bubbles and laundry detergent. This is a scent I'd wear if I wanted to fool someone into believing that I'm straight laced, everyday Jane. This would be a good scent for a job interview or something of that nature. Completely unoffensive, pleasant, but also rather boring.

I get orange pulp with a bitter bite of seeds. Strangely simple for this many notes, and fresh, but not really strawberry. Still, it's a nice summer fruit scent.

I really love this scent, which I didn't expect as florals and fruits aren't generally my favorites. This is a wonderfully crisp, sweet, delicate fragrance that's suitable for any occasion. The price is also pretty good for F21C, and the 1 oz. bottle lasts for quite awhile. I've already gone through a couple bottles, and will continue to buy it.

This is a citrusy and fresh scent - maybe it should be called Strawberry Leaves. This was an impulse buy for me at Sephora but I don't regret it. The scent is very light and good for summer. On me, I wasn't impressed with the die dow. In fact, it just kinda died - and a little too soon. So it didn't stay long enough for me to buy it again but it was cute while it lasted.

I randomly picked this up by the cash register at Sephora. It's a pretty good deal for 24 dollars and in the past, I've been impressed with Fresh fragrances. Despite the name, it does not smell too much like strawberries, but it is almost a citrusy, fruity floral. For some reason, the smell reminds me of fruit punch and I LOVE it. It has decent staying power but is not overwhelming, and it is a fun, sexy, bubbly scent that is perfect for summer days (and nights!). I think this is limited edition (or so they've been saying for the past year), and I would consider buying a backup for this in case it is discontinued.

I like the smell of this once it calms down. I only gave it a four because in my opinion it should smell more like strawberries but it is still amazing and i still love it. I am starting to love fresh Products like I love Mac and Nars products
WATCH OUT.

I received this as a gift and I don't hate it, but there are definitely Fresh fragrances that I reach for before this one. As other reviews have mentioned I didn't really detect any berry in this, but that could just be bc of the way it works with my body chemistry. It is light and fresh and similar to most Fresh fragrances doesn't have great staying power. I could definitely see this being a nice summer fragrance.

I want back-ups of this one. It is excellence.

The Sephora website lists this one as LE, and that has me a bit worried. It's my signature scent for springtime.

I really like this scent. It smells very fresh, but not overly citrusy or green. It is very refreshing in summer, not at all overwhelming but it still has some complexity to it.

I bought this based on a rhapsodic write up in Lucky Magazine. The writer said it smelled just like a fresh cut strawberry, without the cloying sweetness we associate with "strawberry oil" from the head shop, or 99 cent bottles of strawberry shampoo. Well, the good news is that this is very fresh and crisp, and certainly not overly sweet. Also, it lasts surpisingly long for a Fresh fragrance. But I get no strawberry. Instead, I am reminded that Tania Sanchez wrote that a scent evoking fresh cut oranges has been elusive, She should try this. This smells as if someone had just torn the skin off of a fresh orange. The volatile oils from the rind hit the air, and the juice runs with sticky freshness. That is what I smell. The flowers are also not sweet, but are crisp and fresh like linden blossoms. This is not a bad scent. But I am disappointed to find not one hint of berry in this.

Wow this is a wonderful fragrance! I had planned on buying Fresh's Pink Jasmine (I had tested it before & liked it) but this immediately snagged my attention. After a comparison of each, this refreshing & unique scent won my heart (& the fact that it cost 1/3 of Pink Jasmine didn't hurt either). This smells like very fresh wild strawberries & greenery at first, then morphs into an equally scrumptious fresh orange/citrus. I LOVE this, it has become an instant favorite of mine. Absolutely terrific stuff!

i rushed into sephora to give this a shot~ i squirted it 500 times on a tissue, on my arm....i could still smell it later (of course, wearing 1/2 the bottle) but i didn't get much strawberry. mostly it smelled of 'champagne'...bubbly, effervescent....like 7up might smell. it was fruity & delicious, and if someone sprang for a bottle i'd happily wear it, but i found fresh's sugar with lychee to be just *perfecto!* and it lasted on my arm, too. a little deeper, with a slight 'buttery' scent. i got the little bugger, but planning to spring for the big one.

I just purchased my 3rd bottle of this! Sephora has it on sale for $24.50 and that really is very reasonable for perfume - I'm stocking up because they say it is a limited edition - I have literally written to them asking them to keep this scent! It is perfect for Spring and Summer - so light and refreshing....Everytime I put it on my husband comments about how good I smell! In fact he's smelled it at the store when I was first looking at it and insisted I buy it! I especially love to sleep with it on. I agree it doesn't have the greatest lasting power - especially since I have dry skin - but at this price I can easily afford to throw one of the pretty bottles in my purse and refresh as often as I wish. My other favorite scents are Shalimar, L'Heure Bleue, Channel #5...this scent is much lighter for the summer and it's a winner.

I really love how this smells... it is a really beautiful sort of flowery citrus smell that smells like you have literally rubbed cut greenery all over you. The only problem is that it only smells like that for approximately 32 seconds and then it is as if you never applied it. Perhaps there is something about it that does not play well with my body chemistry, and this may not be a problem for everyone (though from the looks of the other reviews for it, many have this same issue). I would advise that if you like the scent, spray it on yourself at Sephora and then walk around the mall to see if it lingers on your skin or not. I wish it stayed on my skin, as the scent is so lovely. Bummer.

Very pretty. Smells like fresh, wild strawberries for the first few minutes, then becomes more fruity (like orange tic tacs to me). Drydown becomes more floral and baby powdery. Nice, uncomplicated, pleasant-smelling scent you could wear anywhere.

I bought this unsniffed and I can't say I won't do such a thing again because i have a thing for surprises. I've been sniffing Strawberry Flowers for over a month now and feel I've given it a fair trial. Turns out, it's not at all fruity or mouth-watering or anything I would associate with strawberryness. There is a tartness, though, and as of last week, I can confirm that the green and white blossoms on our strawberry plants smell just as tart when crushed between my fingers. This has no staying power on my skin, though my sleeves retain the strangest lingering of stench that brings to stomach something dangerous, pertrochemical and airborne. I'm not getting celery, but I am getting plastic doll faces. Could be my body chemistry or could be my nose, but either way, this bottle is going to have to go up for swap.
