Dolly Girl is miraculous creation of Anna Sui, in floral fruit composition. It is romantic and modeled with the dose of fantasy and memories of the creator, while she was still young, playing with mother's perfumes and trying her clothes on. The designer of the perfume is Benoit Lapouza. Playful and eccentric, this perfume offers juicy fruit cocktail in its top notes made of bergamot, melon, apple, cinnamon, the notes of elaborated floral garden together with accords of magnolia, rose, lily-of-the-valley and jasmine.

It's a cute girly smell. Refreshing too like black current juice like you want to drink it. Reminds me of working my first job.
its fruity and i agree with sourness.its for teenagers.but i am not really a girly teenager that i like classic smells.its average it was my first perfume i got this at 11
Dolly Girl from Anna Sui ist one of the best Perfume i ever had...Its smells fresh an powdery, girlie, floral-fruity and very romantic...i feel like a young princess..
The BEST Anna Sui Fragrance
It smells too common for me, I like unusual and controversial. This is way too safe for me and lasting power ain't too great on my skin...
I love this perfume, the smell reminds me DIOR ADDICT 2
:) very fresh and girly like ;D
head away from this one after a while ! initially it was sweet and playful but wore off into a dull stagnant stench t.b.h.
Not special one,it is simple.It smells like Dior Addict 2 and i don't like them.They are too sour for me.
Just to update.....Stay away from this one unless you want to smell like you went to your great grandmothers dresser and sprayed yourself with the dime store perfume she got from her brother when she was 15.
This one is just awful and it never goes away. I've scrubbed my arm numerous times since I sprayed this on me yesterday and the dated sharpness still lingers.
Maybe I need to test this again but I am not sure why not many people think this smells the same as the secret wish with the little fairy on the lid. I have the pink secret wish which smells a little like D&G Light Blue or Eclat Arpege. When I sprayed this Dolly Girl on a card all I could smell was the same thing as what I already have. It is a shame because I really wanted to get it just for something light, boring and pretty but it just doesn't have a different smell from the other in the dolly girl line. I will test it again and see what happens might have been my nose?
So far I didn't like any Sui scent. This one I found like many reviewers too sweet and cheap. The bottles of the dolly line are ugly too IMO.
Though the short note of raspberry is nice, this just isn't in the league with grown up fragrances. No lasting power and no silage. For young girls it's ok.
If you want raspberry at a fair price, choose Can Can instead. Yes, I know what you're going to say, "Paris Hilton"? but, it actually is a very nice raspberry fragrance with more lasting power.
i'm a firmly established fan of all things anna sui.... but this perfume, along with "night of fancy" and "sui dreams" just don't float my boat, not in the least. this one drowned me in a sickly froth of faux-sweet-bitterness that seemed designed solely to cover a bad stink, by replacing it with another bad stink. when this fragrance was introduced many years ago, i excitedly drowned my entire arms and neck in it at the fragrance counter. but (with quite a shock) all i was put in mind of was toilet cleaner/disinfectant. perhaps there is just a specific cleaning product here in the UK that smells extremely similar to this. maybe i was at fault for spraying far too much of this onto myself, it was excessively strong and genuinely put me in mind of disinfectant & toilet cleaner. it's really just not for me, i had to go into a public toilet and wash myself! heartbreaking as this all is, i was lucky that "bonjour l'amour" was released (love!) for day-wear, and i'm a die-hard stickler for anna sui's self titled fragrance for evenings. it's a shame that this fragrance didn't work for me, my body rejected it deftly and it made me stink, for hours, even after numerous attempts at washing it away.
my fav parfum too...so sweet
As much as I adore the unusual and kitschy bottles of Anna Sui more less I can´t stand the scents. Not only one Anna Sui fragrance swept me off my socks. They smell forgettable, ordinary and quite boring. This one smells like old flowers. Not yummy at all. Enchanting bottles are not enough - the stuff inside should be better and that doesn´t fit with Anna Sui fragrances. Sad but true.
Ordinary dull sweet fruity floral in an ugly kitsch bottle that reminds me of a wig stand. No thanks.
Simple, uncomplicated, unsophisticated. There is nothing wrong with this perfume but there's not all that much to it. Nice juicy melon, pleasant pink berries and some soft white florals. There's no snap or tartness to the apple or spices so never really goes past where it starts.
I think an adult woman can certainly wear this if she likes it but I'd make sure it's in a casual setting (coffee date, shopping, lunch) or you'll risk a mutton-dressed-as-lamb aura. I also think this is so innocent that there's almost no little girl too young for it.
There are several better cheerful berry scents at the same or better price points (Nina Ricci Love, Royal Rouge). Body Shop and Bed/Bath/Beyond also have many reasonable decent quality red scents.
I do love the joke of the doll who is clearly Barbie being bald. Verdict: okay but not worth any effort.
Sillage: 2-3 feet
Durability: only a few hours
Fabulosity: pink crocs
Price to value: mediocre
4/10
1st, let me agree whole-heartedly with guest sunshine.
there should be a law, no age on scent. :)
that being said, i love the bottle that this grapefruit juice is in! yes, i smell grapefruit, and white. what is white? i don't know how to explain it, but it is what i smell. white. this is so refreshing and light. i wore this to work last night and everyone liked it and no one had heard of it. now everyone wants it. it didn't last nearly as long as i would of liked, but i still love this fresh fragrance.
and another beautiful bottle to add to my growing collection.
I love this fragrance! I discovered it and wore it as a signature scent for a long time. I recently tried Dior Addict 2 and find that these scents are similar! Must be the bergamot, melon and grapefruit:) I do think Dior Addict 2 lasts longer, but I havent tried Dolly Girl in a while. Love the bottle!!
I love to wear it when it's spring, makes me feel girly.
Some didn't like the bottle? I really like it though, it's very much Anna Sui!
Firstoff,, I highly disagree that this fragrance is for "teenagers",, why is it whenever a fragrance is so ultra-feminine and sweet smelling It always has to be geared towards a younger audience. Not for me you can't put a age group on a fragrance, there's nothing wrong with a older woman wanting to smell fresh sweet and femme! i do however happen to be in my early twentys but im TRULY IN LOVE with this EAU DE TOILETTE ,, THE SMELL IS VERY UNIQUE VERY DISTINCT ,, THIS IS THE SMELL THAT WOULD CAPTIVATE PEOPLES ATTENTION, EVERYTIME I WEAR THIS I ALWAYS GET ASKED "WHAT IS THAT YOUR WEARING?" THE BOTTLE IS SO ADORABLE I LOVE IT I FIND DOLLY GIRL CUTE & PERKY DOLLY LIKE NOTHING MORBID,, ANNA SUI DID AN AMAZING JOB ON THIS ONE.. NOT SURPRISED AT ALL I AM IN LOVE WITH MOST OF HER FRAGRANCES, AND MAKE UP LINE TO BOOT,, HER DESIGNS ARE SO CREATIVE AND FEMININE AND EVERYTHING HAS A ROSY SCENT ,, SOO PRETTY ON A VANITY!
Wonderfull !!
this the best anna sui fragrance than the other..
smell soo young, like me..
i'm 15th years old so, it's very perfect for me..
smell like strawberry, sweet, fresh, youthfull hmmm...
soo delicious..
I like this--it's girly, playful, and young. I would give this to a teenager w/o hesitation, but I don't feel like I'm too old to wear this. It's quite a clean scent and very light, and not sugary sweet. I get more fruit than floral, mostly melon and raspberry. This is great for the summer when you're outside in the sun and need to smell something refreshing.
Dolly Girl is a lovely, girlie scent that almost made me feel like skipping. However, the scent dissipates almost instantly, which is a deal breaker for me. Such a shame, because the bottle is truly darling.
wow, dolly girl by anna sui is one of my favorite perfume. it smells like a sweety young girl...the fragrance is very light very fresh ideal for spring and summer.
the bottle is unique and funny :-D
This was one of my first fragrances when I was 13 years old..I loved the sweet, fruit salad scent of the perfume, I could especially detect the top notes of apple and melon...
Very fresh, fruity with a hint of zing to it while managing to stay bearably soft and innocent, I would describe Dolly Girl as a very young perfume.
I enjoyed this fragrance when I first had it but wouldn't want to wear it now, it just feels very basic, a very simple mix of sweet and sour fruits..good as a first perfume for young girls :)
I had this perfume in my early 20s. it's a very young scent and i wouldn't wear it now. it's youthful, playful and sweet. not for the unique frangrance lover.
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 **** ??
smells good but it doesn't last long in my skin.
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.
i used it when i was in high school
i still remember the scent somehow :D
very nice for teens
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 havent tried the any of the dolly perfumes because the bottle really gives me the creeps :(
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!
lovely smell, not overpowering.
It's soft scent, but i must say the bootle doesn't attact me at all
