Fine enough scent. High end type etc. This smell was familiar, a little too familiar (in a good way) it took me 4 or 5 hours to pin it down. I'm sure some of you remember Pert Plus shampoo. YEP! This is it. But better. How smart to make a perfume that smells like fresh from the shower, but not like generic laundry smell. Mmmmmmm

This is the only fragrance I've ever worn that made people actually stop me on the street and ask what it was. And that's happened several times. Not to mention my facialist, a couple of sales people, and various others. I've worn it for years, and while I enjoy an occasional change to something a bit more floral in the summer, this is just a great fragrance--on me. I know that body chemistry affects fragrance, so try it at the counter first. I think it's wonderful.

I know I have said this before abt other frags but I LOVE this one more than all the others. REALLY, I mean it this time. It has a very clean, airy quality that I am going to chalk up to juniper but is not overly green. If you have read any of my other frag reviews then you know I would not like this if it were not musky. Great musky dry down, very soft though. Not the most staying power I guess but that's a plus for me.

Amazing staying power and a little bit goes a looonnnngggg way!! If you over do this perfume you've ruined it! It is a great perfume, but not one of my favorites, so I will not be repurchasing.

I wore many of Trish's scents years ago when they first came out and then I moved on to other scents. Rediscovering them has been a pleasure. This particular scent is great for everyday. It is a light, clean white floral. Working in a medical office, it's important that I don't overwhelm patients with my choice of fragrance. This one is perfect for work. It is also long-lasting so a little goes a long way. This scent could be layered with White Iris for an interesting twist. The product is a little pricey but the quality is obvious. This one is sophisticated so if you are sick of too fruity florals, give this one a try. It's timeless.

Lately, I have been dying to find a signature scent I would love and stick to.. I recently bought J'adore Florale, Pacifica Tuscan Orange, and Lavanila Coconut.
But, yesterday, I sprayed #3 at nordstrom and asked for a sample of this as well as Mandarin Ginger.

I have to tell you, it was around 7 p.m. when I sprayed this on at the store and believe it or not (I could not believe) I could still smell it when I opened my eyes and it gave me such a nice feeling this morning. (8:00 a.m.)

I love this but, it is bloody expensive for its size although to be fair awesome staying power.

I've been meaning to try this for a long time (I love Trish #9), and finally got myself a decant from The Perfumed Court. I like it very much despite the fact that I generally loathe floral scents. This starts out all white-flowery on me, but quickly morphs into a unique clean scent--not soapy or powdery, just fresh--like freshly dried laundry. It's quite crisp, but not at all sharp. It reminds me of, for those who remember it, the original Chloe (from the 80s, not the new version). The staying power is great, and the scent stays true all day. I can imagine this being a year-'round perfume--it's appropriate for any season. Perfume lasts me forever, but I would repurchase if I ran out.

I think I will be purchasing a new bottle of this very soon. The 1.07oz bottle has lasted me 6yrs! Snowdrop is my signature scent. I might have tried others, but I always come back to this. This was the first fragrance I purchased back in 2004 when I was not into makeup or perfume. I just loved the scent that much...I had to make it mine! Bright Crystal and Parisienne are my second and third choice. Love this stuff!

I was hoping that I would love this. I bought a small size rollerball on ebay to try this out, never having sniffed before. I bought based on reviews that claimed it was very close to Philosophy's Amazing Grace with much better lasting power (what a selling point! I couldn't wait!)
Sadly this is nothing like AG on me. Very very sweet with poor lasting power to boot. This could be due to the fact that I got it on ebay but the bottle and packaging is lovely and it looks legit. It's not a bad scent, but I'm not crazy about it and it is not my taste generally.It was unlike anything I expected. I prefer soapy, clean, green scents and this was more stale and sweet, dry floral. Too bad. I had high hopes. I have no doubt this might be nice on someone else, but not for me. Very elegant little rollerball bottle though.

Paid $78 for a 1.7oz bottle. Love the heavy triangular glass bottles that all of Trish McEvoy's numerical collection of perfumes come in. They are classic, chic, and look pretty on your vanity.

This scent is EVERYTHING I wished Philosophy's Amazing Grace was. The scent is almost identical. The only differnce besides the price? Trish McEvoys Perfume #3 lasts FOREVER. Amazing Grace disappears within minutes.

Soft, clean, crisp and special. Pure love and good clean fun! I will DEFINATELY repurchase this scent...

Just as the other MUArs below, I just can't describe what it is, but this scent is absolutely beautiful & unique. Usually I am not a huge fresh-floral scent fan. I mean, a friend of mine likes Bvlgari pour femme, and Noa Fleur, and she always smells girly & fresh. But whenever I try these scents, I like them, but since I'm really into perfume, I need something a little bit different...

This smells so crisp, fresh, soft but very special. There is something creamy in the drydown that I just adore. I never actually smelled snowdrop flowers, but I have seen them, and they are beautiful, and so is this fragrance.

Yes I can and do buy this fragrance. This is my signature fragrance. I love it. I've been wearing it for about 10 years now. I am no perfume expert so I won't pretend to tell you it smells floral-wise.

To me it smells like I just got out of the shower. It's clean and light and sweet smelling. It's the opposite of musk It has staying power too. And the bottle lasts forever. One of the last cosmetics I can say that about.

My friend wears this and I absolutely loved it on her- she left a fresh and clean scent everywhere she went. But on me, it smells more like laundry detergent - crisp and fresh, but somewhat powdery. I like this but not enough to shell out money for it, but it's a good fragrance for those who like crisp scents.

My absolute favorite perfume! Every time I wear this, someone stops to ask what I'm wearing, especially men. It doesn't last very long, but I spray it on my hair and on my clothes and it seems to stick around longer than when I spray it directly on my skin. It's clean, slightly sweet and there is absolutely nothing like it. Definitely my signature fragrance.

My VERY favorite scent, very light sweet unlike anything i've ever smelled. its a girly scent, however.. no staying power if only it lasted longer so 4 out of 5. Go to the counter spray it, smell it see what you think.

A really wonderful fragrance, light and clean, BUT absolutley no staying power! I even purchased the body lotion and within a few hours you could hardly tell I had this on. :-( I think Trish McEvoy has some really great fragrances but she needs to work on the staying power. For the price, I would expect more from her fragrance line.

I bought a 1/2 oz bottle 3 years ago online, unsniffed, through the recommendation of a friend, and I adored it. I loved it so much I tried to save it for special occasions and I wore other perfumes a lot more often. I recently revisited it, and I dunno, something must've changed with my body chemistry because this affects my respiratory system so bad now, it feels like an instant chest cold, a DEEP chest cold whenever I try to wear it. It's awful. I don't believe my bottle has turned because the scent still smells beautiful and the color has not changed, I am just suddenly very highly allergic. So for those who are sensitive to fragrances, try before you buy this one! And for those of you who have and love it, please just spritz once and you might wanna think twice before wearing it to work. It's super strong!

"Crystal" sweet pea, heather, some rather lotion-y aloe, white musk. Pretty, but *faint*, and about as exciting as you might imagine the (odorless) scent of a snowdrop to be.

Well, this is wonderful in the bottle and wonderful on my friend, but it's only wonderful on me if it's really, really fresh. This one turns almost as fast as Petite Cherie. After it starts to turn, it smells rather urine-y on me. Before that, though, and in the bottle, it really smells like what you would THINK a "snowdrop" or "crystal flower" would smell like. I can't actually describe this very well. There are flowers, maybe, but it's not a floral to me. Think clean clothes, but not dryer sheets and not even *really* detergent. Maybe, MAYBE Surf if it were softer. I don't know. I love this. I wish it kept better, and I wish it smelled as wonderful on me as it does on so many.
UPDATE:
This smells amazing on me now. I don't know what happened, but I'm super happy about it. This smells a bit like TIDE with a bowl of Fruit Loops and Flowers in the breeze and a little musk. It's amazing. Amazing. Lasting power is also excellent. All of a sudden, it lasts on me, WAY longer than Trish #9. It lasts a very long time, but it's still light.
Perfect.
