Passport South Beach Paris Hilton for women

For me, all of the Passport scents are great. Not amazing, but definitely pretty good and I'm happy with the gift set that includes all 4 of them. This particular scent seems much longer lasting than the other 3. It is somewhat generic and 'one note' as it doesn't really change much or develop for it's duration, but it's good for what it is.

It opens with a burst of fruity freshness, the nectarine is quite prominent and smells juicy and reminds me of a summer cocktail. It's not that sweet and the floral notes are pretty minimal, as it is mostly fruity with a little bit of musk at the end to my nose. It definitely has a youthful (teen-ish), warm weather/vacation, carefree air to it.

I bought it today (I can never resist a good bargain!) I didn't except much of it but I enjoy it for so far. It isn't a masterpiece but it's a good scent for a cheapie. I smell ripe, sweet nectarine with a hint of citrus and lotus. A cheerful, bubbly perfume, perfect for a day out with friends or a sunny day at the beach.

nice scent, sweet n fruity but poor lasting power. For me, it had last 2 hours then can't smell again. I need more last long...

i bought this as i was staying in the city for a weekend and forgot to pack any perfume and the shop was about to close so i just grabbed what was closest to the cashieir as i convinced her to not lock me out of the store... as soon as i got back to the hotel and sprayed this on me i regretted buying it at all and wished i just went out with the stale smell of cigarettes instead of this sickly sweet concoction.. it reminds me of the smell of cordial.. just way too sweet for me

Bought this today and pleasantly surprised. Lovely peach scent definitely a summer fragrance. If you like fruity fragrances this ticks the box plus it comes in a cute bottle. Well worth the money.

I actually don't mind this fragrance at all. It smells a little bit like Jo Malone's Nectarine Blossom and Honey, and of course, that's in its favour.

I enjoy very few Paris Hilton fragrances. Those that I do like are often flowery or sugary, such as, Can Can and Tease. Her fruity scents smell horrid in my personal opinion, however South Beach is a definite improvement.

South Beach opens with a juicy and refreshing blend of nectarine, lotus, freesia and osmanthus. Thankfully the nectarine accord is neither sickeningly sweet nor sour. I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but it smelt quite natural, like the actual fruit.

The floral accords in South Beach add to the composition's watery freshness. It's a really smooth and wearable Summer scent, one that has taken me quite by surprise.

The scent is kind of along the same lines as her original fragrance, Paris Hilton. They both have that similar fruity-fresh quality. In fact, they also share a clean and musky sandalwood drydown. Comparing the two, I would still go with South Beach as the better one, in regards to better longevity and a more natural smell.

Wow, so much better than I would have ever thought a Paris Hilton frag could smell! So delicious, sweet and fruity. A perfect summer scent. Too bad I can only smell the nectarine on me, but it's one good nectarine anyway.

The sillage is from soft to medium and lasting power a few hours. Not bad! I can imagine this being great when temperature starts going up. The bottle is cute too!

for the name and design, you'll think you're getting something very beachy and oceanic smelling but no its floral and smells a little sour.not my cup of tea but then again its not as bad.

Smells like schampo and therefore a not so succesful blind buy for me. It must be the marigold that is a thick, cloying lingering smell thru the drydown.

I bought this perfume without testing it in its issue of 30 ml for use during a weekend trip. At first use I loved it! I think both use on skin or clothing the aroma does not distorts, good longevity, excellent aroma, floral- fruity - jovial - cheerful, yet not warm or too heavy.
I would buy again. Definetly.

Perfect summer day scent. I get big load of freesia with fruits in the background. By accident i mixed it with my vanilla scented deo creating super hyper smell. That's what South Beach is missing for me - vanilla! But anyway itself it's also very pretty and juicy. I'm surprised how longlasting it is on me. After 6 hours and 3 sprays it was very much present.

This smells like summer/vacation in a bottle!! Soo perfect for beachy waves bikini & sun shades , I even wear this in winter because its an instant vacation in a bottle smells heavenly I think Paris nailed it with these passport perfumes they're all original & special another blind purchase gone Right!

The nectarine is prominent, making the fragrance sweet. A bit tropical as well. Cheerful. Not as light as I imagined it. It's like a non-alcoholic peach martini and playing with freesia and marigold. I don't really get much soapiness from the lotus flower. This is the second boldest from the Paris Hilton Passport collection.

This doesn't really scream my type of scent. If you enjoy fresh and tropical scents such as Vera Wang Princes then try this.

I really like South Beach by Paris Hilton. It's a great spring or summer scent, but can also be worn year round on a sunny day. It's long lasting, and projects well, and is on the lighter side. I would say I can smell the tangerine in the opening, but it's not a strong tangerine opening. I would say the top, heart, and base blend really well where the notes don't overpower each other, and nothing was overdone. I would say it's a nice light, fruity floral overall. It's a casual scent, that can be worn at the pool or beach, but I think it's also appropriate for the office. If you like Paris Hilton's Siren, then you'll love South Beach. South Beach isn't as tropical as Siren (where Siren has the coconut-orchid).

I usually love Paris' perfumes because they are generally uplifting happy and do not give me a headache. Unfortunately this cartoon collections I cannot force myself to like. I love the bottles as they have cute little huge eyed cartoon Japanese animations. South Beach, St Mortiz, and Tokyo all smell very synthetic and cheap. Tokyo is the better of the three. They have a tendency to morph into a urea formaldehyde alcohol kind of smell within a few minutes of application. My stomach churned as the chemicals kick in.

i love paris hilton's perfume and i have all of her perfume .........

South Beach is soooo gorgeous, I've only tried out Paris and South Beach, not Tokyo because I heard it had short lasting power, but out of the two I have tried, South Beach is definitely the fruitier one, because as Paris dies, down, it slowly goes into a vanilla scent that lasts Super long! South beach is very fresh for the summer, love it! <3
South beach says to be more floral than fruity, but when I first sprayed it, a burst of fruit came at me, absolutely delicious!!! Definitely recommend this if ur looking for the fruitier type.

I love this one. Its smells juicy and fresh. I can smell tropical and jasmine. South Beach is beautiful and summery.

I don't really like it, I don't find it juicy or summery at all just really harsh smell. I have 3 of the passport collection now with Paris as the exception.
South Beach - very synthetic smell
St. Moritz - smell like powder
Tokyo - even though didn't last long, it actually smell not bad at all

all the passport collection flankers smell cheap and ordinary! seemingly not much thought put into them soooo, had them and ditched them (south beach and paris) no regrets...

What I love about this is the juicy sweet nectarine that´s right there in the beginning. It´s so fresh and yummy, it makes me want to bite my arm! ;)
I even get a hint of pineapple and citrus notes, even though it´s not listed.
After a while I can smell the Marigold and the Freesia. Really lovely, a nice combination of summer flowers.
My only problem with "South Beach" is, when I spray too much, it gives me headaches because of it´s fruity sharpness. When I use too less, it is gone after 1 hour...

Edited: I love the fragrance, but the lasting time is terrible. I am giving my bottle away after giving this one multiple tries and sprays. I don't like spraying something and having it gone within 30 mins.

Surprise! I love it! The first whiff while spraying is like Seagrams Peach Fuzzy Navel, then it hits the skin and is a multi floral explosion. I can pick out the osmanthus, lotus, and jasmine. The base notes are light so the musk and sandalwood are barely noticeable. It stays strong for an hour and abruptly dissappears. I don't expect much from EDT but I have Bath & Body Works sprays that last longer. The rollerball EDP would probably be more lasting and more portable. Passport to South Beach definatly has that Florida Vacation feel to it and is my favorite of all Paris Hilton fragrances so far (haven't tried Tease, Siren, Saint Moritz, or Dazzle). It reminds me of spring and summer afternoon shopping excursions on Collins Avene. I would buy this again when I finish the first bottle.

So far this one lasts longest out of this series, over 4 hours for me. The sillage is moderate. It's juicy, fruity, slightly tropical & very summery.

this to me smells just as a perfume from escada should smell-a summer fragrance.very fruity and summery.my sis loved it so much that we are sharing a 100ml of this.

i got the other version of this perfume called paris women miami and it smells very watery, floral, but i can barely smell the fruity notes,but i know they're in there

Thank you so much Marydoan90 for swapping this with me! I LOVE it! To me, its light, floral, fruity, watery, soapy. I definitely smell the jasmine & the lotus too. Only downside is unfortunately, the projection & staying power is very weak. but still definitely one of my fav scents! Don't let the tacky, immature bottle fool you, it's actually a wonderful scent. Not overly sweet or fruity at all. I definitely agree with Mailbu's review; Overall; This is not as young a fragrance as the packaging suggests, nor is it as fruity as I'd have suspected a beachy fragrance to be. A pleasant surprise, that is wearable all year round.

I will definitely purchase this one when I'm done with my bottle. Thanks again Marydoan90!! =)

I bought this because I love fruity-floral scents. But when I sprayed this, all I got was floral. I'm not good at detecting different floral smells, but I think it's freesia or jasmine that I smell (based on a freesia air freshener I once had).
My nose couldn't detect any fruity notes.
I hoped that South Beach would grow on me like Passport Tokyo had, but the more I spray South Beach, the more I dislike it. I guess I'm not such a huge lover of floral because I grew up only smelling floral perfumes.

SOUTH BEACH is pure sweet citrus for the first five to ten minutes. As well as the nectarine, I do think there is some grapefruit in here too, as there is a tart under-bite to the long sweet-but-fresh note.

On me it is actually the delicate and slightly watery lotus notes that are the strongest, followed quickly by the osmanthus, which combines with both the watery lotus and remaining fruit perfectly. The freesia is almost as sheer as the jasmine but it is there and I think there is some orange blossom and possibly some neroli too. I'm not sure what marigold smells like, so maybe I'm confusing it with neroli or orange blossom.

The sandalwood and other wood notes combine with the florals. The wood mix has a creamy undertone and sometimes I can catch a hint of what I think is coconut water, but it's very mild and I can't be too sure if my nose is tricking me, or if it's really there. The mild breeze of musk becomes noticeable at the same time as the woods develop, so whilst I'm not a fan of musky notes, it doesn't bother me here.


Overall; This is not as young a fragrance as the packaging suggests, nor is it as fruity as I'd have suspected a beachy fragrance to be. A pleasant surprise, that is wearable all year round.

Also, the lasting power is really good. It burns down within six hours [on average] on my skin. It does go fairly close to the skin after three hours, but other people still notice it.

SOUTH BEACH reminded me of something else straightaway, but it took me a few wears to place - Jennifer Lopez Love & Glamour. Or rather, this is what Love & Glamour should have been like; the floral notes are more developed in SOUTH BEACH, the wood notes are less one dimensional, and the lasting power is better. While Love & Glamour seems casual and decidedly unglamorous, SOUTH BEACH has a air of pampered luxury about it.

Tried this one at Kolhs today. Very summerish and refreshing scent that is a bit musky with what I thought was grapefruit but it was not listed in the notes. This smells almost identical to JLO's Love and Glamour. Staying power seems to be good since I sprayed it in my hand and washed a couple of times and I can still smell it! Nothing original but worth a try if you want something refreshing and the bottle is really cute and great for travel since is kind of small!

i spray it on my skin. very juicy, fresh and summer.. i can imagine walkin on the beach.. it is cool.
if u spray just 3 or 5 times the smell its gone.. not very longlasting.

i gave it 7?

So beutifull, light and fresh for summer. Like all the passport range its watery but it has got this mouth watering juicyness about it!
I cna really smell the fruits in this one and i cna imagine this being worn at the beach!

I think this a really nice and juicy fragrence. it is a true representation of the beach and Summer. i absoloutley adore this one. This is probably the best one of all the three passport fragrences. Great job Paris! xoxo :D

Juicy fruity and delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tested this today and to me it made a light and floral impression. I was expecting something tropical but that's not in the scent. I had to decide which 2 of the 3 new Paris Hilton scents I would spray on my skin and this one was the least interesting for me. It was like so many florals out there.

i just saw these in cosmo today. for those of you that have tested it, can you smell the musk? i am huge musk fan!

smells good...smells close like ed hardy...the (SECOND OR FIRST ONE)...floral fruity!! very summery

buy it for a day at the beach or out with friends :) cute bubbly perfume perfect for days out with friends. x
