I smelled, I loved, and I bought. Btw, I bought the spray version of the oil. It's really light and soap-like in terms of smell. I definitely smell clean after a few spritz, but you will need many sprays to probably get noticed. I will have to test it out tomorrow since it was purchased today.
Overall, it's a good staple to have in your collection because of it's versatility. Due to the lightness of the smell, I will probably blend with my other fragrances.

Well, I was warned that this was a light scent! On me, it's a no scent!
If Iput the whole bottle on me, it would probably last for an hour at most.
Pretty fragrance but pay attention to those who say it is light. It's lighter than light.

This smells so good. I could smell it over and over and not get tired of it! I get headaches easily from perfumes, but this didn't bother me at all. It's very very light so depending on your preference, you might want to reapply it kind of often. For some reason I forgot I had this and haven't been using it at all, but it really is great.

The founder of the company says she uses this sometimes as her deodorant (a $40 deodorant)! That's for the "fat" roll on. Anyway, I tried this scent long ago and was underwhelmed but recently I'm loving it (maybe because I tried the spray fragrance before). Loving the EDP, lotion and this but don't really care for the scent in the shower gel & have yet to try the rest of the huge line. As someone mentioned, there is a sort of beachy quality to the lotion-divine! BEWARE though that the new pure perfume spray is much "muskier" and I frankly cannot stand it. Saves me $25 bucks though! Back to this particular product...I really like it and find it a little more "musky" yet very nice. Good longevity and sillage imo for this type of product.
Update: tried again and in hotter weather & it's not as long lasting or as musky as it was before-must be a chemistry issue as it should smell stronger in hotter weather. It was just okay. Had to knock off a lippie.

This fragrance reminds me of a musk that I wore in high school but better. Since it is an oil, I just apply it to pulse points after my bath and it lasts all day. I can even smell it in my clothing long after I have worn them and it smells delicious.
My son compliments me on this fragrance, so if he appreciates the scent, I know it must be a winner!

Great scent for everyday! Light,feminine scent that makes me feel clean. Not overwhelming! Prefer the rollerball to the spray. Seems to last longer than the spray and have received many compliments on this scent even though I can't smell it on myself after a few hrs.

I am a big fan of the whole Amazing Grace line and I love this as well. The oil is a nice consistency and absorbs quickly. The lasting power of this is great, and even better if you layer it with the EDT or the lotion. Also, the convenience factor of being able to throw this in your purse makes this product an all around winner. I will definitely repurchase.

I love Amazing grace. I think the sayings on the packaging are silly, and that all the way it is marketed is a bit odd, but what a lovely smell! It doesn't have the sharpness of pure grace (which I also love.) It's a clean, light, soapy floral. Beautiful for spring. It lasts ages on me in both the oil and the spray. I am sure to apply a body lotion 10 minutes before the perfume and I find it will last me all day (in fact, it is easy to overapply.) Has lovely sillage -this is not a skin scent on me. I do not like how oily the roll on is, but it is convenient. I prefer the spray, but I do find they smell the same, unlike Falling in Love.

This is a beautiful scent. It smells clean and fresh, like warm laundry and shampoo. I LOVE the packaging. It's portable, and the oil seems to have more staying power than the spray.

I put this on the back of my hand at Sephora yesterday. After reading the reviews, I didn't think it would stay on very long. First, the scent stayed true to the body butter, which has a beachy quality that I can't get enough of. This is what I want to smell like when it's very hot outside, when many perfumes can be cloying. Second, it last a loooong time. I sprayed it around 2pm and could still smell it after 10pm last night. Third, how easy is this to travel with?
I know that the other versions of Amazing Grace fragrance don't last long enough and the scent doesn't stay as true. I wouldn't bother with them.

I love the scent of Amazing Grace - I have worn it since first smelling it in Sephora a couple years ago. I thought I was making progress moving from the eau de toilette to the eau de parfum and when I saw the perfume oil I decided to try because I assumed the fragrance would last a very long time. Unfortunately, I think the eau de parfum last much longer.... disappointed but still it smells so, so good.

Well, after seeing this on QVC several times and hearing the good reviews, I thought I'd give it a try. I think the fragrance is exactly what it is supposed to be clean and feminine, BUT it does not last. I put this oil on and 30 minutes later can't smell it. I do not like the scent when it is first applied, it smells something like the old Vanderbilt perfume the dry down is nice but since it fades so fast the only reason I know this is because I put some on the back of my neck/hair and it lasted for a few more minutes. This is a nice scent, but Philosophy do a better job at staying power. Also, a lot of perfumes set off my allergies, but this did not.

I bought the oil version because I wanted the scent to last longer. The scent lasts all day and you smell like a dirty wh--re. The soapy smell is mixed with some type of musk smell and the two of them together creates a smell that is not not pretty. I am going to return it.

I love the regular Amazing Grace spray and this smells exactly like that to me. Normally I like warm scents with a little sweetness and maybe some spcie, amber, vanilla etc. You get the pic. This scent is totally un-me but I really love it. It's one of those that I never would have imagined I would like from the description. It does have a soap and water feeling to it but there is something here that softens that. At first application, I do not like it. It seems too harsh and soapy to me. But then after a short drydown I cannot stop smelling myself. This is one that smells better wafting around me than smelling up close with my nose pressed to my skin. I am always complimented on it whenever I wear it. People tell me it smells "pretty", whatever that means. It's pretty simple, soft floral with soft slightly powdery musk and that's about it. This roll on is wonderful. I always wished they would come out with this. Great to carry around and freshen up with. I don't seem to have an issue with lasting power at all. I spray it right into my hairline at the back of my neck and it lasts there for many hours. I dab the oil there too. If you love the perfume, you will probably also appreciate this roll on.

First of all, I am a HUGE fan of the Amazing Grace scent. I first fell in love when I got a sample size of the 3 in 1 shower gel with a purchase from Sephora. It was a super fresh scent, and just soothing. After loving the shower gel so much, I moved on to the body emoulsion lotion. Still the same great AG scent, just a bit more muted and creamy than the 3 in 1 product. That led me to want this little perfume oil! It's suppose to be the same great scent... in a portable, cute little rollerball. Well... I am not too thrilled with it. The scent is not as pure and fresh as the lotion and shower gel products. I cannot pinpoint what it is, but it's just... different... and not in a particularly good way. Still, it's a pleasant scent, not over powering even when layered with all the other products in the scent line. However, the rollerball on mine has gotten a bit loose and when I go to put it on I have to be super careful because it comes spilling out. I will go ahead and use it, but I won't repurchase because I do not like how the AG scent is delivered in this form and it's not worth the mess. I will try the spray next.

Wonderful! I can take this small rollerball bottle on the airplane with me - who doesn't want to smell fresh upon leaving a plane???
The scent lasts quite a while on me, which is unusual because normally scent dissipates quickly on me. It doesn't last *all day* though.
I'm a bit addicted to it, and keep re-applying.

i have this in the small roll-on, and i love it! it smells great, and it definitely lasts longer than the spray (although still not all day). when used in conjunction with the body wash and lotion, i definitely smell amazing. not sure i would repurchase, as i am trying to go more all-natural, and will most likely be switching to essential oils in the future.
