Too Too Betsey Johnson for women

I bought this because I tried it at the store and thought it smelled kind of like grapefruit....but when I got it home it smelled of extremely strong rose and patchouli. It gave me an awful headache and I returned it the next day.

the other day i went perfumania to try out some perfumes and decide which one i was going to buy. this perfume caught my attention so fast as the bottle was very beautiful and it had its lil too too dress:) but at first i didnt know wethier to buy it cuz when i first tried it there it smelled soo strong and like sour pickle lol but then when i let it set in my wrist then thats when i got this pretty sweet scent and ended up buying it:) i really like it alot......

I got Too Too for a steal....I figured if I didn't like it,it would be a nice display on the dresser! IMO the packing is misleading,I was expecting candy like sweetness....On my skin Too Too smells like a spicy grown up version of Liz Claiborne's Candies.

I was expecting a "pink" fragrance, but this is a green scent that reminds me of the lovely Clinique Wrappings.

Tried this on a tester strip this afternoon and I was struck by how chilly it smelled. There was zero warmth to it. The very first note I could distinguish was the rose. It dominated those first few minutes. I also got the distinct impression of pink bubblegum, without that sicky sweetness that seems to be all the rage with younger girls. It was really strange, but also pretty compelling. Even though I was sure I didn't love it, I couldn't stop smelling the card. The sales girl called it "Different." I'm positive I wouldn't want to smell like Too Too, but I wouldn't be upset if the girl next to me was wearing it.

This is an amazing all-season frgrance in my opinion. the pink and black colors of the tutu are the perfect reflection of the fragrance...sweet with strawberry, deeper with oud, vanille, sandalwood and ginger. There is nothing heavy about this fragrance. It is VERY playful, but the notes work in such perfect harmony you could wear it any time of year, day or night. I didn't feel this way when I first smelled it but as I showed it to more and more clients and work, it grew on me BIG TIME. Thanks for this one Bets. It's a lot more understated than her loud, giant purses. Good for those of us that love the Betsey Johnson concept but don't want to be super duper brash about it. So happy to own this in both the EDP and shimmering body powder.

I do not love this one. Too dry and cold...nothing compels me to purchase this one. Nope, right back on the shelf it goes. Too bad, because I love all things Betsey Johnson and all things ballet, but no. It starts out with quite a bit of patchouli and ginger...no sweetness whatsoever, kind of a cold and dirty smell. Drydown is soft and spicy woods, which I do like, but it is too little, too late to redeem it. No go.

The bottle: kind of cute, in an overblown way. More plasticky to touch than I would like. Decent fabric on the accents though.

First squirt out of the bottle, and it smells like Lemon Fresh Sun-In hair lightening spray. Hm. A minute later and I'm feeling a little sick from the salty melon smell. It doesn't bode well...

Ten minutes in, the passionfruit perks up, with hints of mandarin and the musk gradually starting to whisper, but I'm totally missing the ginger. Still whiffs of salty-melon.

After a while it's starting to smell a little soapy; the sandalwood is overpowering things until the jasmine and suede peek over the parapets. I wish the jasmine was a little braver... The strawberry, which I could *just* get from the bottle, seems conspicuously absent from my skin. I'm not sure if the rose is there, or if I'm just imagining it.

Perhaps I'm too used to patchouli in its unadulterated state, but I'm not really smelling it to the extent that the reviews suggest I should. Still salty/soapy, but the floral character is attempting to establish itself. The ginger finally comes in last - hurrah!

After a painful start, Too Too picks its feet up and starts meandering after an hour or so, moving from astringent to mellow-but-citrusy. I wish the florals and deeper notes were more noticeable - and hey, where's my vanilla?

I'm very glad I only borrowed a couple of squirts of this from a friend - It's not a *bad* perfume, but A) it's definitely not "me", B) it doesn't seem to "speak" well on my skin, and C) that similarity to Sun-In just won't go away. Needless to say, I'm not going to wear it again...

comps to dior cherie??? lol more like beyonce heat.
sorry, but this was a thumbs down from me.
this came off as a jolly rancher peach, weak ass patchouli and i kept getting whiffs of the dreaded melon note.
i really hate to bash miss J, i think she is ferociously fierce, but NO.
this was a miss. too too dreadful. going back to whence it came.
shame for the charming decorative bottle.

Very sweet, yet has a very adult 'perfumey' quality to it. At first spritz, it has an Ed Hardy feel to it. Strawberry...then it starts to dry into a musky strawberry vanilla, which has the slightest spice to it. This fragrance lasts and lasts. Great sillage. I've been smelling it on myself all day without having to bring my wrist up to my nose.

At first sniff, I thought Too Too was a rather generic fruity-floral when I tried it on a paper strip at a store last year. Upon further testing, I've found that I really love it! The ginger-fruitchouli top notes combine to create a yummy, sweet tea-like scent (they stick around for awhile too!). Later on, it dries down to a distinct strawberry and patchouli combo that I love!!

I went to the Betsey Johnson store over the weekend and tried on Too Too. I remembered having read some negative reviews about it here, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
It does open up with fruity notes, but the patchouli in it gives it a much richer, sophisticated, and grown up take that I REALLY like. I am not really use to patchouli in my perfumes, I find it too strong most of the time, but it is very nice in this perfume. I wear a lot of fresh fruity florals.. but I am 26 years old. When I wear Too Too, I finally feel my age, and it makes me feel good about it :) It is mature and sexy AND pretty.

So needless to say, I bought a roller ball at the store. After I paid for it I realized that everything on the store is on sale... I guess all of her stores are closing so they are going to be having great deals on all of her stuff. I am going to be ordering a full sized bottle of this very soon! :)

I have a sample of this. It's a very cute, fruity fragrance. Suitable for casual days. While I do like it, I wouldn't buy a bottle. To me, there is absolutely nothing special or unique about it. I think it would be delicious if it was darkened up a bit with more patchouli and deep vanilla.

i really like this fragrance, it's sexy and cute and attractive!!!!!!!!!! ^o^

I love this. The bottle is so cute! It is a fun sweet scent for a young woman. Sprayed lightly so as not to be sickly or overpowering, it's a nice refreshing smell that develops over the wearing period.

Too Too to me is a very cute and fruity fragrance. Not a serious scent. I think it would be good for a Saturday running errands or lounging at home. It's a playful type of fragrance.

Also has good sillage and longevity which is always important to me when purchasing a fragrance.

I also love the bottle. Very UNIQUE, just like Betsey herself:>)

This is one of the best bottles of perfumes i ever seen, but here says that the fragrance is bad, and i think the same..

I see not many people like this perfume,but I'm not one of those.I think it's very fruity and exotic,almost smells like Escada perfumes.
as the first notes,I'm not sure what fruit it is;mango,pineapple,passion fruit or strawberry,but it smells like a delicious fruit salad.I can't detect any particular flower nor too much patchouli.
I'm not a fan of bottle,but I like the scent.it's not unique,but it's cute and girlish.

YUCK!!! Sickly-sweet strawberry bubble gum + ginger = trip 2 the mall ladies room 4 me 2 lather and rinse my wrist...

I HATE this scent (sorry) smelled like very strong ginger on me which I absolutely can't stand. Then the dry-down smelled like strawberry and ginger mixed with rose...ugh >.>

It smelled like pina colada and sandalwood on my skin, which must be due to the very sweet tropical fruit notes and the sandalwood (which sometimes smells coconutty on me). It's a strange but pleasant combination! But the longevity was horrible for me. Within 2 hours, it was completely gone from my wrist without any residual trace.

I am picking up a scent of strawberry incense and patchouli and a suede jacket. I think Betsey has captured the essense of the 1970s here. It's what Peace, Love and Juicy Couture should have been.
It's not a ballerina at all but a hippie chick with long hair and an earthy smell in the bottle. It's mistaken identity . I see some mixed reviews here but the fragrance works fine on my skin, very exotic and almost smoky and mysterious. Look past the fluffy skirt bottle and you'll find a really interesting perfume.

It looks like this isn't going to sell too well . I'm going to wait until it hits the discount stores to get my bottle. It will never be mainstream.

I love the bottle, but I absolutely hate the perfume! I tried this on today because I bought it for the bottle, but I really cannot stand how it smells! Looks like I will be selling this on eBay!

I received a sample of this today (a squirt bottle sample, not a band-aid pad sample) and I'm giving it a whirl...
Opens with STRONG patchouli and ginger.
Then the strawberry.
Patchouli just doesn't work for me. It makes my sinuses itch when I wear it, and it reads just bitterness on my skin.
The ginger & strawberry combo makes the strawberry smell very realistic... like fresh strawberries, not syrupy.

Oh patchouli, please die or I'll have to scrub this off.
...
NOOOOO!!! Only patch left! maybe just a tiny pinch of ginger, MAYBE a touch of vanilla, but strawberry? tuberose? rose? Where are you, my friends??
...
Nope. Had to wash it off or I'd have rubbed my nose right off my face. Too bad, because what I liked, I liked a lot.
Darn, this "Too Too" - it just does not fit me.

sweet musky dirty fruit. patchouli is quite prominent in this one, then strawberry with a hint of floral. Two spritzes on my wrist lasted 3 hours.
I'll have to get a tester first and try this one some more before I decide to buy it or not.
update: too watered down, it needs some more strawberry concentrate power and then I'll rethink the purchase.

Sampled this in store, my first impression is that it's a fruity floral, strong hint of rose. It reminds me a little of Kate Moss Kate (sharing notes of rose, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk) & a less aldehyde version of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (sharing notes of rose, musk and patchouli). A pleasant, non-offensive smell, I think this would make a good gift for the right person.

Received as a sample and unfortunately, Too Too by Betsey Johnson is not for my body chemistry at all. Smells "Too Too" much like Febreze air deodorizer. I typically love vanilla and strawberry fragrances for daytime wear but I don't get those notes at all...

Chemical, though; citrus-fruity with a bit of patchouli. Febreze.

i llllloooooove the bottle and think betsy is a great desighner but it really missed the mark, sorrry. i was expecting better specially from the bottles appearance

There's a spicy aromatic undertone that hits my senses in every way but positive. Not sexy. The oud note is a bit synthetic, which is a common case in designer fragrances... but successful in works of art like Fahrenheit Absolute, M7, Noir de Noir and Essence de Bois. I don't detect any tuberose and the suede is very minimal. Vanilla? What vanilla? Vanilla rum extract from a kitchen cabinet possibly. Personally, I think Too Too could have used a little more of each to smooth over the harsh brain prickling notes. I must admit however, Too Too smells like it looks.

Sweet sweet sweet! Somebody else here compared Too Too to the Ed Hardy fragrance, with it's sugary strawberry blast. I agree with this comparison, I'd have to say these two fragrances are quite similar. However, the ginger in this keeps it from being too candy-like. I really do enjoy it, and want to test it again soon. I think, despite it's fruity sweetness, a broad age range could wear this in moderation in a lot of settings. It's quite pretty and playful, very much like the fun bottle.

Smelled this today. I won't be needing a bottle. Sorry Betsey! Cute bottle though! : )

The bottle is attractive. Ok, I'll say it again, the bottle is attractive (that's adult speak for cute)!

So, how is the juice? Lots of strawberries out of the gate.
Top notes never kick in and are overwhelmed by the strawberries (mid note).

The nice vanille note in the dry down appears to save it from being a total strawberry bomb. I call this adult fun. Don't take it seriously, but pay attention you might find what you're looking for!

Sillage good, longevity good too. Not sure the price point here but I have to figure it is easy on the purse/ wallet. And it's fun!

First spritz out of the bottle it's bold, fruity and uplifting. Energizing and playful even, with a nice dose of sandalwood and patchouli, almost as if to say, yes I'm fun, but do take me seriously. I find myself sniffing my wrist over and over. It's floral and fruity but grown up. The sweet strawberry and jasmine stay prominent, but are grounded with a nice shot of spicy ginger and depth from the woods and patchouli. I think if you like scents like Miss Dior Cherie you might also enjoy Too Too. The bottle is just too cute.

Smelled this 3 days ago at Betsey Johnson. It smells a tad like the first Ed Hardy. There's a huge blast of strawberries in the top and it dries down to a vanilla and woods smell. I haven't tried it on my skin just yet so I'll give a full review when I do

Smells really niiiiice! I detect strawberries, oranges, and musk. Really playful and girl. When first sprayed you can smell a burst of oranges and passionfruit. afterwards the strawberries started to come out. Frozen strawberries? I just sprayed it on, ill update later!

Smells okay... pretty.... but sour sweet. smelled this @ my local BJ store
