Tracy by Ellen Tracy

I read the reviews for Tracy and with great trepidation, bought myself a small bottle because it was on clearance. I was anxious because everyone said that it was powdery. Imagine my surprise when it wasn't the suffocating type of powder that I detest. Tracy opens on a fresh and soapy note immediately followed with a dash of subdued florals. As the fragrance wore, I could smell it on myself the whole day and experienced good projection as I received a lot of nice compliments. I was able to pick up on the musk and vanilla on the drydown, but I wish the almond would have been a little more pronounced. The fragrance lasts for about 8-9 hours even when applied lightly. The powdery aspect was there, but not to the detriment of the fragrance. Thanks for the great reviews for this. It has shot to the top 20 of my rotation! Feminine, classy, and fresh. Perfect for everyday use. Rating: 8 out of 10.

I was expecting something quite soft but that just was not the case. At first I was so frustrated because it so reminded me of another perfume but I could not put my finger to which one. While searching at a store for it's double I thought it must be Chloe Eau de Parfum but while going throgh some packed summer things I found that it was more like Judith Lieber, ah ha found it! This is a little more intense Leiber.
It is very nice on and has a kind of overly fresh quality; that rounds out as the lovely mid to base notes come through. I did expect to see Freesia in the notes some where. Would do very nicely for spring and summer and has good lasting time and projection.

Like Kittycat63, I purchased this over the 'net due to good reviews and the description of the scent. I do that once in awhile and am generally pleased with the results. I was not disappointed with Tracy - although I don't get the resemblance to 5th Avenue. 5th Avenue is soft and flowery without being powdery; Tracy is flowery, true, but it IS powdery. It is soft and the blend of notes keep any one note from overpowering the rest - I don't smell any one particular note over any other one. The first rush of scent, in fact, was somewhat unpleasant, full of alcohol - but that quickly gave way to the soft, powdery floral. Now, hours later, I have a smooth and sweet amber and sandalwood scent faintly lingering. It's a nice perfume - nothing terribly special, but nice. I like the bottle I received, which is silver with a sort of pink plastic translucent bit down the middle - it's sharp looking; modern yet somehow romantic.

Now, when I`ve had it for quite some time, I want to add something. It is still in my top list.
I had a thought about it but I had to make sure it`s not my imagination before sharing it. It smells very...intimately.Very sexy...almost like it has pheromones added to it.

I liked this perfume a lot and found the resemblence with 5th Avenue, even the content. But in Tracy I feel plum blossom and some creamy notes close to skin while in 5th Avenue more fresh and floral notes whith a long trail. Both are very classy and feminine!

I bought this very cheap and unsniffed. I was very suprised after smelling it. This is a very soft floral with a milky almond background. This is not a normal scent for me so I don't wear it that often, It layers wonderfully with Cherry Blossom lotion from BBW. It must be applied very lightly with my body chemistry b/c unfortunaltey I sprayed too many times and made myself sick. I think b/c it's so soft I wouldn't be able to smell it so I went crazy with the bottle and didn't realize how much I had on until I was out in public and kept giving myself a headache.
Lovely scent and very romantic.

I bought it very cheap, and didn`t expect much...But it grew on me very quickly.It`s soft floral composition is simple and beautiful! I feel very feminine wearing it and very often I pick it over more expensive and complicated fragrances in my collection! it feels so good all the way, and I adore it`s almond milky base!

I bought this perfume over the internet solely based on good reviews I read about it and I had never smelled it before. Luckily, it's a lovely, soft, creamy, warm and very feminine perfume and it has great staying power. I can definitely recommend this for anyone who likes perfumes that aren't smell-alikes and who likes soft, feminine perfumes. I'm very glad I have a big bottle of this in my ever expanding collection of perfumes and it's one that gets regular use because it's good for any occasion, day or night.

I love the fragrance and the bottle is very odd but nice. Not the typical design most have, is different. As for the scent, I don't think is crap....I happen to like it. It smells very floral and feminine to me. It's not the best scent but not bad, I wouldn't buy it again though.

I was first introduced to this fragrance in Dillards and loved it... it had a warm aroma that I liked. It wasn't something I would wear often so I ordered a small bottle and was severely disappointed.... it smelled very soapish and powdery. I ended up getting rid of it...
