Tracy Ellen Tracy for women

When I first smelled this I thought it smells like Chloe EDP but not indentical! Then I come to this site and see primacas review I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks so.
Wonderful rosey smell quite sexy the ultimately feminine scent.

I received this as a gift-this is delicate soft feminine floral that is somewhat sweet and has a powdery note(must be the violet). I agree with other reviewers who said that this comes across as "pink" scent-I get this too. Its a very light scent that lays very close to the skin, and I'm pretty sure you can spray yourself with half a bottle and noone around you will be offended. I prefer stronger scents so this part I didn't like. While pleasant, its not really "me"-this is very "proper" and ladylike and I picture a younger woman, with long blond hair, pearls and sweater set wearing this. Very "old money" and refined.

This is a nice scent, but not for me. I think Peony and rose are the dominant notes, too much rose for my taste. Otherwise feminine and pleasant.

I very much wanted to like this since I like the classic Ellen Tracy so unbelievably much. This, however, does something very funny on my skin after about 20 minutes.

While I liked the speed and aggressiveness the vanilla and almond milk fought their way through the florals, the last couple of moments of dry-down and end result were funky and cheap. I'm now, after 30 minutes, stuck with something that resembles vanilla-scented hand sanitizer, and not even a good and fancy kind but the kind you find for $2.00 at Big Lots. :(

I ALSO GOT THIS AT TJMAXX. AT FIRST I WAS NOT SURE BUT I LOVE IT THE LONGER IT IS ON THE BETTER IT SMELLS.

Picked this up at T.J. Maxx for a song, and thought nice, inoffensive safe for daytime wear kind of fragrance. I sprayed it on around noon, and at 5:30 this woman came running up behind me on the street (scared the $5*& out of me, actually) and said "Excuse me, but what is that perfume you're wearing? It smells wonderful!" Kinda made my day.

I'm surprised that several reviewers have said this perfume smells of peaches, and that it has also been compared to Ungaro Apparition.

I have Tracy (review far below!!) and don't smell even a smidgeon of peach in it! Also, I have Ungaro Apparition and I think they smell very, very different (on me Apparition smells very much like raspberry kirsch, which is not like Tracy at all!). It's really interesting how some perfumes can smell so different on (and to the noses of) different people!!

I do agree with Malegria though that Tracy is quite an 'intimate' smelling scent - it's soft, slightly soapy, creamy and sexy in a very ladylike, gentle way. It's a lovely scent.

about as pinky pink floral as you can get!
big lush dewy pink peony with a creamy soft drydown!
i can easily compare this with miracle from lancome.
the price is so cheap too!!
i had a 2.5 ounce bottle of this and i finished it in a month
it is really pretty and a must have for peony lovers

I bought this unsniffed after reading reviews here and my great love of the original Ellen Tracy. I do smell the peach that a couple people have mentioned, although it isn't actually one of the notes. However, I find that I feel kind of just "meh" about it. It smells pretty-ish, but I'm just not jumping up and down about it. It starts out nice, but after a few minutes, I start to feel like I've bathed in Cover Girl compact face powder and peach schnapps. I know odd description, but it's true. My chemistry must just do something funky too it. Sad, because I totally wanted to love this as a daytime, office kind of perfume, but I can't exactly go to work smelling like I've had a alcoholic breakfast!!

**UPDATE**
My 3 yr old daughter likes to wear perfume around the house and feel grown up and because I wasn't attached to this, I was letting her wear this one. Well on her, I really like it. So I've decided it must just be my chemistry fights with it. Too bad, because on my little one, it smells really nice!!

You only have to look at the notes listed and the colour of the bottle to know this is a pink fragrance.

But oh my it's such a soft feminine beauty. The orris gives it a silky smoothness, like rubbing highly milled face powder between your fingers. The pink flowers are as soft as baby's breath and the base is a vanillic, almond milk. Don't be fooled into thinking that all this softness and gentleness makes this a fleeting fragrance, as it has very good longevity on me. Lovely.

PEACHES! PEACHES! PEACHES! I'm with Action on this one... like biting into a ripe peach although no peach note is listed. Reminds me a bit of Ungaro's Apparition but Ellen Tracy is less sweet and brighter, somehow... also, ET costs about 1/3 less. Apparition dries down to a milky/woody base but ET seems quite linear: the peaches at first spray are there through the drydown.

I bought this at the high point of allergy season and at first could barely smell it but now that my nose is clear again I'm finding that ET really shines. I find it "blooms" best on warm skin.

There are 2 bottle designs: the one in the photo is the original and the clear glass bottle with the black paper label is the new one. I have both and there's NO difference in the juice; both are edp. The bottle in the photo has a label that says: "Ellen Tracy Cosmetics" and the new, clear bottle says "Palm Beach Beaute.

Edit: I've noticed the drydown is very similar to that of Nanette by Nanette Lepore (clear bottle), Cabotine's Moon Flower and Hanae Mori's Magical Moon -- all "creamy woody" fragrances.

The most feminine soft floral perfume i own personally. It s such a surprise to be introduced to this highly underrated perfume only by chance, it warmed up really nicely to my chemistry. Most of the time, my body chemistry dictates more expensive perfume into masculine powerhouses i so detest or vintage heavy floral smells that reminds me of a group of rich old ladies and aunties in over obtrusive makeup and clothes.
Though i usually do not like the peony accord, in this scent, it blends quite well and does not stand out in a sharp smell, instead i get mostly soft soft roses and delicious violets!This eventually blends down to the warm feminine milky vanilla, and amber. sandalwood is only felt ever so lightly. It is truly a beautiful fragrance i would recommend to any women's collection, young or old.

One of my favorites...elegant, feminine, and...interesting. Love the notes!

This perfume is gorgeous! And do you know which smell it resembles the most?? It is like the ULTIMATE smell of a superfresh PEACH!! Like I just bought myself a juicy Peach on the market and I am smelling it real life! I never ever smelled a perfume so realistic to nature!

Wore this in the recent past. I used the lotion and fragrance. Nice floral and sandalwood tones. I woukd buy again if good bargain price.

I picked up a bottle of this today for a decent price without sniffing it first, I sort of remembered reviews and the notes from this site and took a gamble. Glad I did! It's very pretty scent for the price you can't go wrong. Very girly and feminine smelling, with a soft slightly floral with hint of powder drydown. I like it very much. It's not my favorite, but it's still a keeper.

Another update: just wanted to let people know this dries down to a lovely very clean almost like a nice vibrant body wash scent. There is something about it I love! Very pretty for the price!

This smells like Chloe EDP by Chloe. I just bought it today and wondering why it smells so similar.

I wore this last night when I went to church at 7:00pm
And this morning when I woke up I went to my living room and there was this beautiful and very feminine aroma that just had me searching all over the place to find it source. Its was so enchanting and Im thinking what is this scent? Then I remember it was
Tracy . It last a long time I can still smell it on me and Its 8:34 am. Just gorgeous!!

Soft and clean pink flower scent. It is just a bit soapy/powdery at first and a bit waxy creamy at the base but still pleasant. It reminds me of Lanvin Éclat d'Apege but it's not as nice.

Although Ellen Tracy TRACY also lists peony as a note, it is obviously not the Oh-So-Dreaded Peony rendition found in INSPIRE--or if it is, it is included in such low concentration that it does not attack my central nervous system. Grace a dieu (or reasonable facsimile...).

Added to that, I have an irrational fondness--verging on fanaticism--for violet and iris, all of which conspires to make TRACY a real winner in my perfume book. I love the creamy quality of the barely sweet nutty-woody base, and the floral bouquet of this composition is simply scrumptious. TRACY is by far my favorite of the four Ellen Tracy creations which I have now sniffed. On my wish list!

If you can't afford Katy Perry's Purr, this is almost like it. The difference is the drydown. This one is not as creamy, soft, as the dry down of Purr. It is more floral drydown.

This is one is a favourite. Soft, superclassy & feminine. A scent that stays close to the person who wears it. Next person have to come real close to sniff this one..Wonderful. soft, lots of flowers and very fresh..A wonderful scent to wear at work,

En otroligt mjuk, kvinnlig och sensuell doft. men det är en doft som stannar nära den som bär den. Nästa person måste stå intill för att känna doften. En superhärlig doft att ha på jobbet. Fräsch,lättblommig och mjuk.

I want to love this combination of notes. I really do. I had high hopes for the almond note in this. But it is thoroughly unremarkable on me and lasts for only a short time, even though it is an EDP. It is very similar in tone and strength to ET, with quite a few notes shared between them, but I prefer ET more. Packaging also appears less detailed than per description here on Fragrantica. Clear glass bottle with a decal stripe with logo and motif design. No silver on bottle, and silver on box is replaced with pink. Makes me wonder if it's genuine or if something changed from the original. Going to give it one more try and then update here.

A luminous demure aura extreamly feminine
scent nothing sharp harsh or edgy just
a soft non obtrusive with a girlish innocence kind of a scent that is safe and
ideal for young girls for their first perfume collection.
It opens with a scent of sweet and airy
peonies delicate sweetness of each pink
petal dries fresh with a green note of
cassia adds to the freshness then in a
minute or so turns fruity with the succulent note of plum blossom and i also can detect juicy ripe peach mingling with the deeper and more juicer
plum dries the top note.

Rose opens the middle notes but it's
faint and diluted then iris with it's powdery texture steeps slowly though
the middle note then delicate note of
purple violet finishes the middle note.

The drydown opens with an milky accord
that is a bit cloying to my senses amber
with a warm coziness begins to makes it's presence then it finishes with
dry sandalwood and vanilla to end this
femininity.

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.
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 great 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, clean, warm and very feminine perfume and it has great staying power. I only need to spritz myself with it once and that one spray will last on my skin all day and night, yet it's far from being an overpowering scent. It's so soft and creamy!

I can definitely recommend this for anyone who likes perfumes that aren't smell-alikes and who likes soft, feminine perfumes. There's no mistaking this for a unisex scent! 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 give it a big thumbs up and 5 out of 5!!

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...
