Dawn Sarah Jessica Parker for women

I like this. It is fresh, floral, simple, and a bit different to many other perfumes out there. It smells soft like rain and flowers. I think the lasting power is ok. I don't expect miracles from perfume - this makes me smell clean and pretty, what else do you need during the daytime?

My brother bought this for my Mum one christmas, I have always had good taste in the sort of perfume I know she likes but my brother tends to blind buy based on what the SA will tell him in the shop. This wasn't a very pleasant perfume it had a sort of chemical like smell to it that became quite nauseating. It reminded me of something else (not a perfume) reminiscent of a bathroom spray freshener. I recently bought myself Versace Dreamer for men and I love that fragrance for men. It does however have a sharp chemical like smell upon initial spray. This remeinded me very slightly of Dawn but Dreamer turns into a very pleasant masculine scent.
I do not really think Dawn is very nice at all plus it is very weak and poor lasting which is just as well, not really worth any amount of money imo. That is from a guy's point of view but also my own Mum hated this. Can be bought very cheap on ebay. My Mum's bottle went in the bin as it would not sell on ebay (I wonder why)

Soft, Gentle, Floral Not much logevity, nothing to dislike about it, but nothing special either.

this is nice this is cool and i like it it is SOOO girly.

At first I thought it smelled like body sprays commonly found in Walmart. Once applied to the skin it softens to the smell of a violet leaf, it is green, watery and soft. I still think it smells so familiar.... I keep on thinking of calgon body sprays. It's not herbal at all. Soft with slight harshness and cheapness I must say.
Part of me likes it but other part feels like I have moved on from such scents. This would be good for everyday, gym and spring/summer time.

Some smells bring up old stirring in the loins and the times when my heart was so close to my throat I couldn't breathe (maybe just the asthma?)
Whatever, when I was younger the scent of Prell shampoo in a girl's hair would take me to a place younger people weren't supposed to go to in those days, causing untold hours of discomfort.
So - some of this spilled in the studio and I kept looking around for the source of the glorious soap when finally it dawned on me it was the perfume.
SJP "Dawn" is actually Prell Shampoo! Unless she was reaching for "Dawn" dish detergent (which I've never smelled).
As perfume, ???. But as sexy shampoo - !!!

I just tested this on paper so not on my skin yet. It sprays a little green and sharp but when it dries to me it is similar to the other one called Twilight. It is musky like Twilight but it has a fresh soapy smell to the musk that Twilight doesn't have. Twilight is warm this one is fresh but they are similar. I quite like it, it is nothing ground breaking but certainly not offensive but I find none of them last very long as other people have said. If you like natural soapy musky smells then this is one you should test. If you are hoping it is aquatic or really green and fresh it isn't really like that at all even thought the packaging evokes that image it doesn't dry down the way it sprays initially. I like it and wouldn't mind having a bottle to spray on as there is something very relaxing about it.

To be honest, this scent is not my typical kind of perfume, still I think it is pretty & somehow romantic. In my opinion this perfume is not unique or complex, is very feminine, non offensive, suitable for all ages and all seasons of the year...you can easily wear it daily..too weak for a EDP and a little overpriced I suppose especially If you are going to pay the full price because you will probably need to spray it several times to be able to smell it.

On my skin it smells exactly like a herbal body lotion my mother was using in past:creamy and a little herbal... and as quiet as a body lotion in fact I need to stick my nose to my skin to be sure it is there..and after a few hours I get sth almost chemical which is a turn off for me..from the reviews I have read on the net I suppose that they have changed the original formula to make it cheaper in new editions thought I am not sure. At first I decided to sell it but I changed my mind, it is still good to have a rather different perfume in my collection for the days I am tired of my typical warm & sweet scents.

Dawn is a really lovely perfume and for me it's definitely by far the best SJP fragrance. It's much, much nicer than Covet, which I think is sickly, strange smelling and very overrated!

This is a fresh, airy, clean and light floral without being overwhelmingly and annoyingly flowery! It's good for any age group and any time, anywhere. The only drawback for me is that when I've tested this in department stores it seems to disappear very quickly and lasts not much longer than around 4-5 hours say, if that. Still, it's such a nice scent and usually available, certainly on the internet, for reasonable prices that it might still be worth my getting a bottle. Very recommendable!

Fell in love with this, but ended up with a rash. Bought it again a year later, hoping I just got a weird batch the first time, but ended up with itchy arms yet again. So sad, because I really really loved it.

Purchased on a whim when I saw it discounted at my local drugstore, and while it hasn't made it's way into my favorites - I'm definitely glad to have it in my collection. Smelling the bottle to me gives off almost a 'hairspray' type smell, but then spritzed onto the skin, becomes much more floral. The dry down leans quite musky on me, but not overpowering.

the bottle is so not SJP...

Not as bad as Endless (which is a disaster IMO) but still pretty bad.

I really like this perfume.It's fresh and natural and it's not over the top or too sweet. It's a good perfume, but there's not a "wow" factor.

I have to agree with the reviewers who refer to it as shower gel scent or something similar. It's very drugstore like and a bit green, but not interesting to me at all.

So green and wonderful - smells to me like clover, and brings back memories of lying in the fields with my friends - rolling down hills, etc. Very wholesome and girl next door - not my usual cup of tea, but I was immediately drawn to it. The angelica and violet leaf are a match made in heaven. My only quarrel is with the silage - it's gone within 2-3 hours, depending on the heat of the day. Nice for a picnic, the cottage, or an afternoon of walking and exploring - not for dates or dinners or work.

Not a fan of SJP, but I took an instant liking to this.

Dawn is a fragrance that encapsulates the scent of Autumn/Fall.
Truly reminiscent of taking an early morning stroll in the crisp Autumn morning breeze, amongst the fallen leaves.

Not as prominently scented as Endless or Twilight,yet still stands out on its own.

i've got a vial, three of them.. and dawn.. is not almost 1 hours i can't smell anything. twilight like a masculine perfume foe woman.. thats horrible.. not my perfume...;(

dawn is my 1st branded perfume.. i bought it unintentionally after being so confused over others perfume after smelling all the perfume available at the counter. 1st time i spray it on my wrist i didn`t smell anything accept for the orchid. and the smell is not strong either and it fade in a minute. i was so frustrated... and regret buying it... after a few days, when i sniff over my wash clothes i smell something nice.. also when i scratch over the place i spray the perfume, it smell so nice.. i wish that smell are much stronger than it used to be as the last note smell sooooo nice on my body but it just not too strong... very2 weak but nice smell..

Bought this unsniffed for my mum, cos there were no testers available. I dont regret it though, very similar to pleasures bloom by estee lauder. Very clean and fresh not overpowering at all. A nice fragrance :) x

It's good with its fresh green and slightly citrussy floral notes but too much watered down...In half an hour It's gone...
For scent: Best of the serie
For longevity: The weakest one...

Oh my God, Dawn is so fresh soft and very breezy. I really love this perfume.It is so beautiful on my skin.

So I didn't have the greatest experience with "Dawn" when i tested it yesterday...

Upon first spray it smells very much like hairspray (then again a lot of fragrances do) so i let it evolve for a while.

Next came a VERY pleasant melange of florals. Very light and fresh and pretty.

Then it sort of faded into a very powdery floral type thing... still very fresh...

and then after fifteen minutes (i kid you not) it turned into static guard.....

This fragrance just didn't work for me and i recommend that you test before you buy!!!!!

I really don't have much to say about this but:

Boring!

Just a bunch of flowers trying desperately to not be noticed and to not insult anyone.

It's not attention-grabbing, but I absolutely adore the fragrance.
It smells like the cleansed morning air after a horrific stormy night.

It's a refreshing change if you're sick and tired of mainstream floral, or cocktail fruity or cloying oriental.

Divine...

I agree with Pollenbee that it is the best SJP fragrance after Lovely. Actually it's my favourite SJP fragrance at the moment!

I was totally surprised how unique and beautiful the scent was! It's true that it is very sheer and light, but at the same time it has wonderful delicate notes that combine into an enchanting experience!

PERFECT!

I saw Dawn yesterday at mall and sprayed it on my wrist. It is very slight smelling fragrance... It feels like an autumn morning rain. It is very pleasant but has no lasting power. Consider buying a 75ml bottle because it needs to be resprayed during the day.

I like dawn.Its sweet but in a nice way. Very nice fragrance. This should be more popular. Its the best from SJP after lovely.

Blue skies,soft breeze and fluffy white clouds:)Dawn works very well with the summers we have. The temperature goes upto 45C, and the last thing you want is to smell cloyingly sweet.Its lovely to put on first thing in the morning.Very powdery,soft and if this was a colour it would definately be a fresh baby blue. Like this a lot. Its perfect when you want to take a break from the usual gormand/fruity/floral scents.If we could have big lavish perfume banquet, this perfume would be the palate cleansing course.

Gives off a clean, fresh floral scent..Kinda like bath soap..I like it good for Day time and work.It's so soft and beautiful..Reminds me of misty rain just hittin your face..ahhhh..

the only con is it seem to fade quickly..

I am no fan of SJP, and I am not partial to floral green fragrances either.

But much to my suprise;

DAWN took my breath away...
It evokes the feeling of waking up to a cool, breezy morning after a thunderstorm the night before.
It's scent may be subtle, but none the less flawless.

I'm not usually a 'morning' person but this certainly makes me look forward to the day ahead...

I first took notice of this fragrance while it was still winter. Upon smelling it I immediately knew it had to be in my spring/summer collection. I was shopping the other day and happened to come accross the gift set and of course I had to get it. I'm wearing it today and I just feel so Pretty! It just reminds me of good times, a nice summer breeze on a beautiful day. Its one of my favs:)

I know it's not listed here, but I really felt drenched in peony petals (minus the ants) when this went on my wrist. Sarah Jessica Parker is famously no fan of florals (they were only added to the formula of LOVELY at the marketers' behest) but I think this one is a success.

DAWN starts off with a burst of stuff that eventually just melts into my skin in a really nice, mellow way (chalk it up to the charming inoffensiveness of the peony!). Really, the only thing I can't stand about it is the bottle design. I love the watercolours, but that awful gold cap? come on! Luckily, the scent is unaffected...

This is a fresh beautiful floral I do not get to much greens but just enough to bring out a beautiful childhood memory of flowers and fresh summer breezes that are not too heavy with flowers as to give allergies and headaches.
It is surprising to see all those heavy hitting notes up there, really I must get a lot of violet leaf. With its light innocence does lend the same attitude as Daisy. Clean semi sweet floral with out being Soapy, heady, bitter or herb shed like.
All the base notes mixed perfectly for me, mainly because not a single one dominates the overview I have of this perfume. Meaning i could not truly associate any of them in describing Dawn.
I like it and am glad that I got the gift set, Because the lotion is divine! It has a average lasting time and is very pretty and could be worn everywhere. Very glad I re-tested this, and would tell everyone to give it a real chance.

great fragrance, flowery & fresh, yet subtle.

I LOVE IT! I RECEIVED A BOTTLE AS A GIFT AND IT IS WONDERFUL! READY FOR A NEW BOTTLE!

I love the fragrance but it seems to fade very quickly.

I just tried Dawn today and I love it.It is the only one she has done that I can wear.It's a hit in my book.I get sinus headaches with some perfumes and this one didn't give me one.

Fresh ,yes ,almost like a deodorant instead of a perfume.
Not bad ,but very simple.
Me as a great fan of sjp-perfumes,i was dissapointed.
a very "blue" smell.

i went to buy Femme By Hugo Boss and i was given Dawn as a sample, I love the sample more than any of my perfumes . im going to get the full bottle of dawn for sure . Love it just love it .

smell this one newt to Ralph Lauren Blue... very similar... and both are VERY much my type. Floral with amazing musky drydown. so comforting :)

Dawn is a slight improvement from Endless, yet there is nothing enticing or interesting about this fragrance.

Like Endless, it is soapy and fresh, however it is not as flowery. I wouldn't say that Dawn is synthetic smelling, it is quite wearable and somewhat pleasant, but once again this fragrance is common and unimaginative.

The scent itself is quite musky and subtle yet the lasting power is horrible. If it wasn't for the lack of lasting strength this fragrance may have been passable.

the PERFECT perfume for me ever! tested it and am hooked ever since! and yess...it'll make you sniff your wrist once a while! cnt get over it...im in love with the scent...just what ive been searching for all these years..:)

I was given a sample of Dawn and have been hooked ever since. Absolutely unforgettable, it'll have you sniffing your wrists all day. Very light and breezy yet strong enough to make an impact. SJP is clearly something of a fragrance guru.

I recieved this from my husband today - I was shocked for one it was my name but other then that pleasantly surprised at the unique clean floral scent- I love it ~!!!!!

I bought Dawn and I'm really enjoying it its light a bit musky but not to overpowering over all nice smell

i smelled this at ulta and bought the biggest bottle they had-this fragrance is beautiful this is the only one out of the lovely collection that i like. Its very soft clean and fresh-smells like a garden of flowers after the rain i definatly recommend this

I am not really liking this one.It is plain and just "fresh" I didn't really smell any sweet notes or anything. I won't buy this I have changed my mind!

Dawn is like waking up in a nice morning.it's mild and refreshing,not annoying the nose at the beginning of the day.
the floral green notes are a reminder of a rainy green day,even a bit rustic but in a sincere way.

It's so hard for me to critic this woman's scents because I've loved her as an actress since the beginning... but when is she going to get it. Fragrance is just not her thing It's like she can't marry her heavier notes with the more floral/citrus, and there are all these weird transitional periods that have yet to be addressed... I don't know, maybe she just doesn't notice them or... what? I don't know, but I think there would be a much better fragrance if, instead of expanding her lines, if she buckled down and revised a few or her previous ones (covet was the closest for me) and instead of lanching 3 scents in this line, moved to get just one right. I really think this is another one that just missed the mark.
