Got the gift set and the lotion is the bomb.This scent is the most marine like scent I've ever smelled and it is sweet and fruity too. A must have and also one of my favorites.

I like it. The blue bottle is very beautiful and reminds me of the ocean, much like this fragrance does. Everything about this fragrance reminds me of the cool, blue ocean water.

i love the smell but it's kinda weird for me because compare to the brand, the smell is like a cologne because it is not long lasting... i wear it and in a couple hours i cannot smell any of the fragance.
but still the smell is so fresh and light...

Nothing's special about this perfume.Too powdery....doesn't match with my chemistry. The scent disappeared less than one our. I gave it away.

i didn't know how this perfume smelled because i cannot find elizabeth arden in my country, so i have bought it only based on the descriptions on this page -which normally is not my style. it is goregous! it does smell pretty similar to cool water by davidoff, but it's sweeter and more feminine. it makes you feel like you are on holiday in Sicilly! lovely! and the staying power is amazing...

This is just lovely. I recommend it. I have so much Elizabeth Arden Fragrance, it is scary.

This fragrance is like cool water, just by having a slight aquatic note to it. However it has something that cool water does not, this lovely sandalwood musky base with a touch of the wisteria that comes out during the drydown. I find it to be a good summer night perfume because it works with the mediterranean vibe. I don't sense any sicilian mandarin which is disappointing. Overall a nice summer evening fragrance.

i smelled this one in 2007. it's a light floral with some watery notes. the sicilian mandarin is not so obvious and the drydown is kind of powdery and sweet. it's very similar to cool water from davidoff. so all of you who like cool water will be loving this.and the bottle is just amazing!

Very non offensive, a nice, light feminine floral musk, ideal for spring and summer.
03/25/09 20:01:13
Its a lovely fragrance for summer or spring. i dont smell a particular note when i smell it just a beautiful combination. Good staying power too.

I have to correct my earlier review. I really like this fragrance. It's soft and powdery and a bit fruity all at once. It really reminds you of what the ocean might smell like.
03/15/09 12:16:29
this perfume has a nice fresh smell its light, sweet, slightly fruity, i just wish it had better staying power.
03/07/09 10:01:50
I was quite drawn to this fragrance when I first tried it. It is a very light aquatic fragrance. It could never be offensive because it is so calming and casual. I actually had this on my wishlist for ages, but I decided not to buy it because it didn't seem like a fragrance that I would find myself wearing. The sillage is fairly average but for the price this perfume is worth it.
02/24/09 03:38:06
i like it, it's a creamy/floral fragrance, i agree with this smell
02/01/09 12:41:30
Don't let this little blue bottle fool you into thinking its acquatic b/c it's not Not at all. It is PLUM Crazy on me.... and I like it... just wished it lasted longer... PLUM Sweetness!!!
02/01/09 11:40:22
I tried this at the counter, walked away and then had to come back! Wow, it smelled so good and then I tried it on, still wow! For some reason, anything with an amber, sandalwood, musk base goes with my body chemistry. Throw in wonderful fruity and slightly floral smells. I bought this one and it is definitely on my fav shelf!
01/31/09 20:31:58
Wow what an amazing little blue bottle. I get a lot of fruit at first in the best possible way. Then after this drys it turns very floral powdery on me. I really like this. Its full of body and last forever. This might just be my new It perfume... Its a very well done scent, I think they got this one right on.. Cute little blue bottle too. So simple, an everyday must..

i just love this smell. its perfect!
I wear this whenever i go out, i spray it especially in my hair, and it even smells the day after! its a great peachy smell, summery but not so "breezy". Its not a scent for younger girls, this smell says woman, a young mature woman. Im meditarrenean myself, so this perfume fits me perfectly

I bought a bottle of this today... I don't know how I feel yet... sometimes when I think of it in conjunction with wearing it in summer I think it's perfect, other times I just think it's too "pine sol fresh"-y, if you know what i mean. and that's definitely the only way to describe it. on the other hand, i got a pretty good deal, so i figure it's alright.

I just got this for Christmas after wanting it for quite a while, and I think it's just fresh and soft but powerful enough to be interesting. There is fruits and flowers but the base notes gives it a decent body as well. An excellent scent for every day useand almost all year around.
I like the shape of the bottle too!

Powdery and fresh. Not anything to write home about, but it is a nice summer fragrance and it's lasting power is decent.

This is a sea breeze with a pinch of salt which brings the scents of lovley flowers from the nearby coastline to my nose... I'm impressed by the fact that it is possible to create a fragrance that is both warm and cool at the same time and both sweet and salt. I like how it developes as it is a bit sharp in the beginning. I can't really detect the fruits in it, but the magnolia-orchid-wisteria mix is wonderful. In all it is a complex fragrance that I like a lot. I will keep this sample to see how I like it in the long run. Maybe I'll get a big bottle when summer is knocking on my door.

I like this alot and I like the bottle and the box how it is displayed it is very pretty.
10/27/08 08:11:49
Very strong and citrusy in the beginning. then dries to a nice fruity floral for me. The dry down is more floral to me with a hint of sweet and citrus. I like it because it last a long time and I love the blue color on the bottle.

Another one of my favourites at the moment. Beautiful and summery. It travelled with me to Spain about a month ago. Summer, the nightlife and buzz is what it reminds me of. Perfect match with the bottle. Absolutely beautiful
09/20/08 04:41:30
i really dont like it! its too strong.But the ony think that is maybe good for lovers of it is its powerful longlasting...
09/14/08 12:42:19
Sharp fruity floral. It smells a lot like Narciso Rodriguez for Her, to me, although I gave my sample away, so I am unable to compare them directly. The opening is sharp citrus. Then it dries down, but retains that sharp floral smell. Magnolia, probably. And also a little musk. So much like Narciso Rodriguez for Her, that if you like NR, you may like this one too.

I just love this perfume! It is romantic, flirty and at the same time independent. It makes me feel so attractive and self confident. I normally get quickly bored with fragrances, but this one i have had for 2 years now, and still it brings me in the right mood! May be it's because I am Pisces and this smell is the right for me?
08/14/08 12:43:07
I have it..and i think it's great having this one. i like the bubble gummy smell from it. It makes me feel young and fresh..my husband choose this one...and never thought on this, our opinion is the same, since we have different taste.
07/17/08 19:43:16
Thanks Marianne... and oops I mean Elizabeth Arden counter, not Estee Lauder. :-)
04/04/08 00:37:22
I totally agree with KeLLStar: I'ts a nice summer scent, yet nothing special.
04/03/08 11:17:54
I smelt this one at the Estee Lauder counter. It's quite nice - the smell matches the blue bottle & name, similar to a Cool Water type fragrance for women. I liked it, but not enough to want to purchase.
