No. 3 Freesia is a lovely fresh floal scent, somewhat green (which I like), but unfortunately it disappears on me instaneously. Very summery. Reminds me of little guest soaps for some reason, maybe I had some once that smelled like this.

Overall not a bad scent. It smells feminine and pretty, but not a scent for me. The packaging is minimalistic and it's an inexpensive product. The freesia combination oil they once sold was a great scent, they should bring that back.

I have been using this off and on for the past 3 years or so, and while I don’t absolutely love it, I think it’s still pretty good, and the price is hard to beat ($10 for a 1-oz. bottle, but I think I only ever paid full price for it once- got to love Target’s clearance sales!) I love BBW original (purple) Freesia scent, so I guess I was hoping this would be similar (it’s not). I just think it is a light, crisp floral. It’s just right for work since I think it’s clean and not at all offensive, but it’s not my choice for a special occasion or a night out. The staying power is okay- I can still smell it (but just barely) 8 hours later. I love the bottle, too- simple and classy, like the scent itself. Just a note- I tried the Freesia, Rosemary, and Grapefruit body lotion and absolutely hated it- I thought THAT smelled like bug spray, but I have no complaints about the Freesia fragrance itself.

The bottle is very streamlined, I think that's what drew me to this product in the first place.

However, the scent gives me a headache (I'm not a freesia person). I was hoping that because grapefruit was the first scent on the label that it would be the strongest, with only hints of rosemary and freesia. I was mistaken and dissapointed.

I really like this fragrace of Kashuk's the most.It is very fresh and feminine but not overpowering.It's smells great on me and always gets me compliments.It's a great price too.
And the review saying it smells like roach spray?Well, I'd like to know what bug spray she uses because it must smell great!

Like at least one other reviewer noted, this smells exactly like roach spray (Raid!). Perhaps its just my body chemistry and this perfume - whatever it is, it's disgusting. If you're looking for a pure freesia-smelling perfume, I recommend FRESH's Freesia. It's alot more expensive, but it smells heavenly. Was very disappointed in this product. One good point, I do like the packaging... nice, simple and modern looking - too bad this smells like bug spray.

I am on my second bottle of this fragrance which I got on sale for around a dollar a bottle. To my nose this scent does smell like freesia and I enjoy it. If you are a freesia lover, give this one a sniff.

I purchased this as an eau de parfum pen. I love the container because it is very transportable. I don't really care for the other scents by Sonia, but this has a clean crisp feeling, with some fruity undertones. Makes me feel shower-fresh right after a workout.

I got a 1oz bottle of EDT and 4oz lotion in a set left over from the holidays for $4.98! What a deal! This is a nice fresh clean fragrance which I like. Not sure if it is predominately freesia or not since I don't recall what freesia smells like. Pretty sure it's a blend. On me it has zero staying power and I would only repurchase if I saw it on a clearance. The lotion literally stinks but that is for another review!!

I was excited to hear of SK's single note fragrances, and was especially eager to try the Freesia scent. However, after trying it in the store I elected not to purchase it. It smells rather cheap and artificial.

A citrus freesia that unfortunately tends to seem rotten.

Out of the three Kashuk fragrances, this was by far my favorite. It has a lovely, fresh, clean, and lightly floral fragrance that doesn't upset my allergies. The bottle is elegant and clean as well. I wear this everyday. My husband loves it so much that I told my florist to put freesia in my wedding bouquet. The price is great for such an simple, elegant fragrance. My one complaint is that it doesn't last as long as I would like. That said, I haven't tried layering it with the body lotion and body mist.

Absolutely LOVE this! It's extremely refreshing, light, airy, and just perfect for spring/summer. I literally spritz it in the late afternoon to cool myself off and as a pick-me-up. Works wonders; it's THAT good. I haven't tried the other two SK fragrances, Gardenia and Tuberose, but I did sample them and probably won't be buying them. I would love for SK to come out with some new fragrances, hopefully soon. :)

Pretty, light floral. Smells almost powdery to me. A clean, subtle floral scent. Less cloying than Bath & Body Works (the only other place I've smelled a freesia fragrance).

Freesia is a girly feminine floral eau de toilette that is long lasting and true to scent. The packaging is sleek and sophisticated and the price is definately right. The quality is top notch!

LOVE this fragrance! Very light and I detect a bit of melon to it. Not at all floral to my nose. Two thumbs up and very simple, elegant bottle!

Just like the reviewer below, I have no idea if it actually smells like freesia or not because I really don't know what freesia is supposed to smell like either! ;) But that aside, I really like this perfume! It is a very light & airy scent- a light floral and *possibly* slightly citrusy too. I personally thought is was a pretty "original" scent, but when trying it out on the BF with a "Well? What-do-you-think?" I got a "It's nice, but not really any different from your other perfumes..pretty undistinguishable. It's def. in the same "family" of scents you like tho!" Hrmph... not quite the reaction I was looking for. >:P



Ignoring the possibility that it may not be that *original*, it DEFINITELY gets bonus points for the packaging!! It's just a very simple-classic-looking, slightly rounded rectangular bottle with a silver cap- it just looks like something you would buy at an up-scale boutique!! But instead, you can buy it for 10 bucks (for the 1 oz size) at Target!! Rock on!!! :) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this SK fragrance (especially since I found her other two perfumes to be absolutely NASTY!!!)

I bought this last weekend at Target mainly because it was on sale (15% off all SK products) and because I was checking out SK fragrances due to all the raves about Gardenia (which smells like an old lady perfume to me--sorry!). Freesia is a really nice, light, airy, citrusy scent. It's not the least bit overbearing if applied sparingly. I have no idea if it actually smells like freesia because I don't truly know what freesia is supposed to smell like, but I think this is a mild, clean fragrance.

This didn't smell much like freesia to me - just a plain jane floral that wasn't anything exciting.
