Close by Gap

golden

I tried it this in the Gap today.
It is so delicate, airy, floaty with a lingering beautiful trail it leaves.
I tried this on many hours ago and i can still smell the beautiful soft musk and amber trail.
It reminds me of Armani white but way more beautiful and longer lasting.
I really need to get myself one of these, as it's so understated i can't believe just how beautiful this one is.

This is...oh! So many notes and oh so different! And they come in waves, one just cannot tell if it's watery fresh, citrusy, powdery from heliotrope and almond, flowery cute from jasmine...

Gap Close is just all of them, each one at a time, you just have to sniff it again to feel something else.

Yet I find something a little disturbing... perhaps it's the citrus+salt combo, which goes well with tequila and not with almonds and a musky base. Will test it again to figure it out.

This is one of the most interesting scents I've come across, and I really think it's one of the hidden gems of 2009. I'd gone into Gap intending to buy underwear and left with this instead. It's so unusual-it's described as a floral musk, but I don't feel that accurately describes this perfume. Top notes are salt water, citrus, and fresh almond, which, to me anyway, is a lovely and unusual combination. Through these, medium notes of florals-heliotrope, freesia, and jasmine peek through, and soften the harshness of the salt. The base notes of sandalwood, musk, vanilla, and amber blend with the florals and intensify them just enough. The overall effect is very beachy-think of the Atlantic ocean in the summer, when the flowers hit the sand of the beach, and the fragrance hits the sea air. It's very light, modern, fresh, and feminine. It's not an overpowering perfume; it's definitely a scent that is to be smelled at close range (hence the name "Close"). Bottom line, it's a very romantic scent, really meant to be smelled by your SO when he/she gets close to you and smells your neck, your wrists, behind your ears, your hair, and left as a reminder on a pillow; even the bottle mirrors the scent: a simple tear-drop shaped bottle with a small silver cap and gorgeous pink-white opalescent sheen. This has taken a place of pride on my vanity.

I was very surprised when I tried this scent for the first time. It is a very feminine and very subtle fragrance. So great after a fresh bath. On the downside I find that the fragrance does not last for very long.

Boring, like a non perfume almost

So I sprayed this on a card, smelled it, and got... nothing. Maybe a hint of a boring floral note, but it was so faint that I threw it into my purse and forgot about it until I got home. When I took it out at home, I was surprised. Though it was still subtle, it had bloomed into a rich floral smell with undertones of amber and musk. I'll have to give this another chance, it's caught my attention.

I adore "dream more" by gap and I also am in love with this scent. It is subtle, sophisticated, and gorgeous. I can definitely tell the "saltiness" as my mouth always seems to water a little when I smell it... delicately feminine, especially when worn for a little while.

I could not sense any of the finer, more delicate notes, of sea water and salt..perhaps they are so delicate they disappeared. The citrus is very prominent, it alternates back and forth with the floral heart. The floral heart smells of white flowers, and of (fancy) white bath soap. I like the drydown, but; separate; from the rest of the perfume. And that division exists here- the heart begins to fade away- you can smell the base intensely- but, they are still both there, and they don't match well, itś a bit of an ugly scene at this point. The fragrances is not too long lasting. It reminds me of some other perfume from the 80s or 90s (but softer, of course) but I cannot remember wich, perhaps it reminds me of those scents, in general.
