Now I guess I'm one of the few that really like this fragrance. I don't find it to be too girly at all. It does have a honeysuckle scent to it but it's not overpowering and I love the spicy undercurrents. My only gripe is that it does seem to wear off rather quickly and I feel like I have to use more than I would normally use.

This is a beautiful light floral fragrance. I think it smells incredible when I just spritz it once on my wrist and then dab on my other wrist and elbow crooks. It makes for such a light a beautiful fragrance and smells lovely and like fresh floral air. I also like that it is a complex fragrance, I smell something new every time and the bottle is beautiful.

smells like any freesia perfume i've ever tested before. it's not bad, but it's not too unique either and i'm pretty sure a cheaper version of this can be found.

Like other reviewers have noted, there isn't really anything special to it. Not anything I would buy - it is too little girl for my taste. Not for me.

Evokes nothing special. For girls who love all things pink. Give me red any day. Sorry, Cynthia -- it's too cutesy for a grownup...

This may be my next full bottle purchase. A lovely green soft floral with notes of muguet and honeysuckle on a subtle amber base. It smells a little like Eau de Camelia Chinois, but without the harsh wintry edge of that fragrance. Very pretty.

I received this as a sample with my Sephora order. It's a light honeysuckle fragrance that's just not complex or interesting enough to warrant a full bottle. Plus when I was out walking, I was attracting a LOT of flying insects, which has never happened with one of my fragrances before, so beware!

I have pretty much the same gripes as other on this one. It's very weak and does indeed smell almost watered down. For a floral it's actually not too bad, but the main problem is that it's so ordinary that it's completely forgettable. I definately would not spend my money on this.

Got a sample of this. Didn't like it at all. It's a fruity/floral scent...but smelled sort of ordinary. Love Cynthia Rowley, so wanted to like her fragrance. I also love the bottle and the packaging! But I wouldn't buy it...

Just plain awful. A non-descript, sweet, stiffling smell with no discernable
flower notes. Cheap and harsh. Yes, the bottle is cute, but not elegant or special. Couldn't wash it off fast enough; can't return it fast enough.

I'm wondering if she has two fragrances out. I just got a sample of this and I can hardly smell it at all. As a honeysuckle lover, I am very disappointed. My sample smells very watered down, but it was sealed and on the card, not a homemade sample from a swapper. Seems ideal to wear in a place that won't let you wear fragrance!

Mainly a fruity spicey scent, not FBW IMO, very dissapointing because I love other things Cynthia Rowley makes.

Pretty bottle, not-so-pretty fragrance. It's okay, I guess, but it smells more like an air-freshener version of honeysuckle than the real thing, much like Kate Spade.

Okay, I guess I am in the minority here, but I think this one of the nastiest floral fragrances I have ever tried. It reminds me a lot of the Celine Dion fragrance, which is almost as gross but not quite. All I am getting is a musty floral...smells likes something you might scrub the bathtub with. The only thing good about this crap is the bottle it comes in.

The bottle this comes in is very beautiful and unique. This would be a great summer scent. Unfortunately, the honeysuckle is a bit overwhelming on me. I just can't say I'm a big honeysuckle girl, so I'd have to pass on this one.

Beautiful bottle! Such a pretty blue with a little quirky vine-like pattern around the edges. Lovely fragrance, it's mostly honeysuckle with a tea-like note and a touch of verbena to brighten. It lasts all day on me, too. One of my favorites!

I have a hard time with perfumes and find most change on me in an unpleasant way. My staples are Lolita Lempicka and Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir. I cannot wear Jean Patou anything, Shalimar, Dior anything, Chanel Coco or any number of other classic fragrances. Enough of the reference parameters . .
I love this perfume!!!!!!!!! The bottle is adorable, of course, but that's Cynthia Rowley for you. I agree with mchampion's review - there is something about the scent that evokes a lot of lovely childhood memories for me. The honeysuckle is probably key to that (we had a yard of it in Texas) and there is something clean and sweet as lillies there (might even BE lillies I have no idea) that reminds me of my grandmother - but not in a bad way. This fragrance is light - but it lasts. At first it is a little sparkly or busy with the florals and then it settles into something pretty and sort of breezy, if that makes any sense. I don't think it is a hot date fragrance unless you are fifteen - because it smells clean and innocent and it just isn't trying to be sexy or too grown up at all. That IS sexy, but it isn't like this is Gucci's Rush and it doesn't scream "DO ME". It also isn't like Escada's sentiment or any of the overly sugary/fruity/sweet fragrances out there. No candy smells. No summer fruits. No Jessica Simpson diabetic high.
It's like a chic little glove & hat combination that somehow doesn't feel old fashioned OR too kitschy. Ladylike but not stuffy, perfect for everyday, and I plan to wear it at least that much.

This smelled lovely on the paper strip. On me, it smells soley of honeysuckle, and I mean HONEYSUCKLE!. Were I a HUGE fan of honeysuckle, I would be tickled pink. Sadly, I am not a fan nor tickled.

First things first: this bottle is GORGEOUS! I'll admit I bought it originally for the bottle but I am really fond of this fragrance. When I first spray it on it smells a tad fruity-and not too strong; this is the first fragrance I've tried that isn't so overpowering on first spray. When it dries down it smells (to my nose) similar to Benefit's Maybe Baby without the retched rotten peach/apricot smell. Very soft and floral on drydown...not really fruity. Was pleasantly suprised on this one!

This is such a hot fragrance. It is floral and extremely feminine. This is the epitome of a hot date parfum. I love it! However, do try it before you buy it because it does change on people (I sell fragrance, and I've seen it not smell "quite right" as a customer would say).
