Gin Fizz Lubin for women

I've wanted to try this since last summer when I first read about the reformulation. At the time, I was on a quest for the perfect citrus scent for me. I finally got around to ordering a sample. This is a beautiful scent, it really is. Yes, it's a citrus aromatic, so there's nothing complex or unique about it..but sometimes a light fresh clean pretty fragrance is all you want. Is there gin? Well, the juniper berry gives off a little illusion of it. It's defintely soft & intoxicating. <-- I realize that seems like an intentional pun, but I assure you I'm really not lame enough to write a bad joke like that on purpose. Gin Fizz smells sophisticated and very pretty. Perfectly blended and top notch quality. The drydown is gorgeous and a tad shampoo-y. Is there fizz? No. Does it last? No, all the reviews are right on, it goes away on me after only 2 - 2 1/2 hours. What a shame, because this works really well on my skin and can totally be my summertime fragrance. I think I may want it even tho its fleeting...it's that nice.

The concept of this is rather nice: a perfume that smells like a sophisticated topshelf cocktail, drank in a dark, leather accented lounge where people wear black dresses, pearls, suits, cufflinks, etc. Think of a bar scene in Mad Men or something.

I was hoping for the bitter, astringency of gin, with sharp citruses that sting your nose. Nope! The citruses here are sweet, and floral, and there is a pleasant woody undertone to it all. I can detect a gasp of a sharp alcoholic note, but it's faint and around the edges.

What this really reminds me of--and is almost dead on for--is Estee Lauder's Pure White Linen Light Breeze, a woody aromatic citrus that is bright and refreshing and reminiscent of cold can of 7 UP. Mind you, people wearing pearls, expensive black dresses, consorting with slightly mysterious men that have just handed them a strong cocktail, are not out in the city for 7 UP, especially at $120/50 ml.

So happy to found Gin Fizz back after 40 years!!!! Still a huge citrus perfume! Yes normaly it's a women perfume .... But it's great too for guys! The other great esperide scent for men is Balmain for men .... Gin fizz is more subtil and floral. A master piece for the sumer. My note for Gin Fizz ' 10/10

A thin and almost unscented concoction of juniper and citruses aimed to reproduce the infamous cocktail's smell. Maybe in 1955 it was sort of groundbreaking as one of the first "light" perfumes, but today we're getting sick of inconsistent scented-aquas! 30 minutes lasting power.

Rating: 5/10

I like to wear this while I cocktail serve. It gets me in that gin and tonic sort of mood!

I tested quite some of the Lubin scents, but they are just not my type. I find them somehow old-fashioned and they often have notes I don't like.

It is a little sister of Mitsouko
for the under 50 generation!

I have the old one, and it is more of a chypre than a citrus like thank GOD, the mentioned lily in the base is smoked lily bark though, which gives it a nice mature kick. The edt lasts for 4 hours max. no regrets.

Tried a few sprays of this recently and I was very impressed. A fresh, clean perfume and I would even go on to say invigorating. It certainly wakes your senses. The top notes contain a bright fresh citrus and then the flower notes take over giving this perfume another dimension. The base notes are beautiful blended and end perfectly with a very gentle lily. I found it very longlasting on my skin, a good five hours. A Beautifully blended perfume and I hope to treat myself to it one day. Grace Kelly apparently wore this perfume in the 1950's, all I can say is this tells you how classy and beautiful this perfume really is.

Beautiful and light - a great crisp citrus summer fragrance that would be hard for anyone to dislike. It's not long lasting though and by the time you finish your gin and tonic, Gin Fizz will be gone. For the price, that's a problem.

Apparently it was Grace Kelly's fragrance.
