I love the smell of this product. It is a light refreshing scent that smells like the title says. It does not last long, but still I only use 1-2 sprays because it can be overpowering when using too much.

I have to be in a certain mood to wear this. Needless to say, I am rarely in that mood, but I have this thing about using everybit of something otherwise I'll have major guilt.

This is a very sweet strawberry fragrence. It is too sweet, and this is coming from someone who loves Fantasy by Britney Spears so that should tell you something. When I first spritz it on, I get overwhelmed by the strong chemical scent almost plastic like. The plastic strawberry scent sticks around for a few hours. The only reason I wear it everyonce in awhile is that eventually it mellows into a kind of musky, strawberry vanilla that is actually very enjoyable. I wish it would smell like that all the way through :(

"Would you buy this product again?" my answer: Hell no, I couldn't even buy it the first time lol
This scent is so weird to me, I sprayed it at VS and it kinda smelled like champagne and flowers. I didn't even smell a hint of strawberries at all! The champagne and flower combination was sickening and I became thankful that I didn't spray this directly on myself because I would of figured out some kind of way to wash it off.
Needless to say, I cannot recommend this to anyone and I work there

My best friend wore this scent all the time in high school and I hated it. I thought it smelled like alcohol, so I had no intentions of ever buying or liking it. A few months ago I was in the VS store and sampled the body butter just for the heck of it. I fell in love. I kept smelling my arm and I couldn't get enough of it. I had to return later to buy it! I think this scent is highly dependent on which formulation you purchase. In the body butter, it's a soft, fragrant blend of roses, strawberries, and a bit of a bubbly champagne scent. The regular lotion doesn't seem to carry these notes as well. I also purchased the EDT, because I feel like the alcohol note is so much less pronounced there than with the mist. The EDT layers wonderfully with the body butter and softly lasts the whole day.

I bought my friend the body mist version, and the few spritzes I sampled seemed heavenly. So I thought the actual fragrance would be a more condensed variety of the same scent.. boy, was I wrong. This perfume has a headache-inducing metallic screech to it that nauseates me beyond belief. The light, frothy strawberry note that was very much the essence of the mist is gone, replaced by a jarring, medicinal aldehyde that is truly disgusting. I suppose that was their interpretation of "champagne," but as a champagne lover, I find it an insult to the region and drink. I can't even use this as a room spray. I've realized that with Victoria's Secret, it's best to stay with the vanillas, the coconuts, or the tried-and-true EDPs and EDTs like Sexy Little Things.

I love this I have always bought the eau de toilette because its fits perfect in my bag. The smell is amazing it doesn't work for everyone because of their body chemistry. Thankfully this works for me.

this is a very different smell -- it sticks out from the other secret garden fragrances. i don't think that i would actually wear the body spray of this but i do like the body butter version.

This fragrance from Victoria's Secret has been my favorite ever since high school grade. It was so famous way back because it comes in a huge plastic bottle (the cologne) and can be used within half a year or so. I always get this from a relative or a friend coming from USA.

This time I got this from my sister when she came back to spend her summer vacation here in Hong Kong. It was okay, I guess I got over with the fruity smell when it comes to fragrances. It has this strawberry scent that is very light with the same time a touch and tingly aroma that comes from the champagne.

One thing I don't like about Victoria's Secret Garden is that you need to carry this bottle everywhere when you go out. Why? Well, the scent doesn't last that long. You have to spray and spray and spray over and over again every now and then.

This smells like strawberry plastic. It is mild but fake smelling. I have the body butter and only use it on my feet with socks. I feel the need to get some use of it since I paid 10.00. The smell is okay for feet only. It is not good enough to consider wearing as a daily perfume scent on the body for others to smell.

This scent does not like me. I have to give it a 4 as it smells great on other people, particularly my BFF, but on me it smells like some sort of alcoholic carrot juice drink. The body wash smells like the cheapest dollar store rose-scented shower gel, so I don't think anyone should buy that, but I have to say that there are some people on whom the body mist smells spectacularly juicy and effervescent, with just a hint of rose. As to me, I smell better in Love Spell, or Endless Love when I want to retain some vague delusion of being unique.

This is actually one of my favorite Secret Garden scents. I am surprised at the negative reviews. This one stands out to me as different from the others. The champagne part of this fragrance is not "boozy." The sandalwood adds sensuality and a bit of sexiness. I don't feel like I am wearing an overly sugary, immature fragrance when I wear this. It is quite fresh, a bit sweet, and very versatile in the sense that it is great to wear for a night out or when just lounging around. Plus, it is never overbearing and lingers for a decent amount of time. I used up the bottle considerably quickly, which says a lot for me, given that I have a large collection of fragrances.

I was never into Victoria's Secret, I'm definately a Bath & Body Works girl. But I am so sick of everything B&B wearing off in 15 minutes. Some girl in one of my dental classes was wearing this and she said she used it and it never really wore off. I bought it and this scent is so fresh it is unreal. Love the bottle, and its definately worth the price too (6/30$) I bought the shower gel too and let me tell you, I am a Bath and Body customer no more!

I had the body splash. I was 13 years old and going to a middle school dance with my sweetheart. This was the most romantic scent I had ever smelled. I would (almost) die to have another bottle of this one! It reminds me of the sweetness of strawberries and the bubbly & sensual flavor of champagne. the name fits it just right!

This review is for the EDT. I did a review for the body spray as well which is a little different. The EDT is sweeter, more strawberry and champagne like, and lasts longer than the body spray. The body spray is cleaner, less sweet, and kind of resembles strawberry shampoo similar to a cleaner, less sweet Strawberry Shortcake doll. They are both very nice at different times. Would repurchase.
P.S. The lotion is closer to the body spray than the EDT.

My mom gave me some of the shimmer lotion in this scent. While I'm not sure I would personally buy it, I like the fragrance. It's very unique. But there are some notes to it that are a little weird, which is why I tend to just wear this around the house.
