Dolly Girl by Anna Sui

sherapop

Despite its long list of tiered notes and its wild presentation, Anna Sui DOLLY GIRL is yet another nondescript, quasi-linear, safe, soapy, fruity floral office scent. Shower in a bottle, I'd say. Likeable, pleasant, wearable, but entirely unextraordinary in every single way.

The soap here is closer to Dove than white Dial, if that helps! (My own preference is Dial...) The staying power is decent--you could put this on in the morning and smell freshly showered for several hours.

Sugary sweet with a bald head bottle...what the **** ??

I had this bought for me a few years back and I really liked it then, but I have to be in the mood for it now - its quite a youthful fragrance. However, its plesant, fresh and sweet if thats what you like.

This is geared towards teenagers more so than adults. Used it a few years back and thought the bottle was cute. It's not so cute now. Buy it for the 16 year old girl. The bergamot in this is lovely.

I have never tried this fragrance simply because I know that even if it would be the best frag ever I couldn't stay looking at it on my shelf. I'm really sorry, I know that this site is not about bottles, but this and the other dollies are the most bizarr bottles ever(

I didn't have high expectations prior to testing this fragrance, and not surprisingly I wasn't blown away by this scent.

There was nothing unpleasant about it, but then again there was nothing overly wonderful about it either. Looking at all the unique and interesting notes listed, I'm wondering where all those notes were.

I could definitely not smell cinnamon or melon in the top notes, which is a damn shame, because those notes when blended with the apple and bergamot should have created something interesting. However, I was met with a scent that can only be compared to a cheap drugstore fragrance.

What is supposed to be a beautiful heart of florals, turns out to be so faint that you can hardly smell it. In fact, Dolly Girl hardly lasts at all. It's possibly one of the worst fragrances when it comes to lasting strength.

I didn't get any of the powderyness that everyone is describing here, instead I got a big jumbled mess of fruits and flowers, making it very difficult to distinguish any particular notes.

Although I find the bottle design creative, up close it looks rather cheap and tacky. Unfortunately there's nothing about Dolly Girl that I actually like. Even the name is a little ridiculous and childish.

I haven't tried the other fragrances in the Dolly Girl series, but here's hoping they are much better than the original.

Frankly speaking, i don't like the bottle at all and the scent is too sweety and cheap, maybe for teens but absolutely not for me. But as it was my new year's present, I use it every now and then anyway.

Minimalist, can't u see the hair round the face? It is there, focus carefully :) I don't like it either, anyway.Used to use the fragrance when it came out and I was about 18-19... regreting now.

how can someone design such an awful bottle without embarrassment? A bald head with a silver hat? Bah!

this bottle is really morbid, but the smell is ok, light and tender, but not longlasting at all

Awww, I love the sweet little dolly-head bottle! :-) I can see how some might find it too kitschy, though.

Dolly Girl's fragrance is nice but nothing special. The bergamot note stands out very strongly on my skin, and I would describe the scent as "linear" rather than layered and evolving. The scent stays identical from start to finish. Whether that's a good or bad quality is defined by the wearer.

Others have described it as a non-sweet fruity or bitter-sweet, and I agree with that description.

The one area in which I think Dolly Girl really excels is persistence. I put some on at 8:00 AM and I can still smell it nine hours later. That's pretty good persistance for any perfume, but especially good for a fruity floral with citrus top notes!

Leukothea: me too, the bottle puts me away. It is scary, untasteful, morbid and if none of those things, then it is highly cheaply looking.

I find this scent very zesty, it's really fruity and citrusy without smelling 'edible'.
I find it not very long lasting but it's top notes are very obvious when first sprayed. I like it for it's bitter-sweet quality but wish it would do something woody or creamy after being worn a while.
I don't like any of the Dolly girl bottles, they contribute to the idea of the fragrance being for children. Sweet treats are so much more inticing when they appear to be only for adults (hehe).

Beautiful scent! It's not one of those complex Chanel scents.. it's rather fruity without the sweet and floral without the matureness! I'm usually really sensitive to complex scents.. and this one does not make my head spin at all! It just makes me so happy when i wear this! The lasting power is a little better than average actually bc it's not that strong. Great Great Great! Slightly like D & G but with more girly-ness! I would think that it's mostly for ppl in their 20's and you can definitely wear this everyday!

It's soft scent, but i must say the bootle doesn't attact me at all
