SJP NYC Pure Crush Sarah Jessica Parker for women

Just stumbled across this one and snagged a bottle. I never knew it existed....but wow! Vanilla & coconut in a light watery sheer layer of freshness. Wonderfully surprised at how the coconut is almost sophisticated as opposed to tutti frutti. So glad I managed to catch this, and well priced for the size!

Very nice lite coconut scent wanted someing with a more stronger coconut smell but this will do I guess, it is kind of addictive.

Why was this never available in Europe?!! I think this sounds like something I would love but its impossible to test it :-(

to be clear, smells enough like Virgin Island Water to serve as a substitute, just doesn't smell as classy.

When I heard Bath and Body Works was discontinuing their Exotic Coconut line I was thoroughly heartbroken. About the same time Gwen Stefani put out Harajuku Lovers-G. There was a sense of relief when I tested it out. Then there was the drydown, or rather, the letdown. It turned to baby powder. Nice, but not exactly what I was hoping for. I had to resort to hoarding bottles of body sprays and tubs of creams in order to savor the toasty coconut scent for the rest of the year.

You reviewers are a persuasive bunch. Based on your reviews I was anxious to try SJP NYC Pure Crush. I could not sleep at night knowing there was a bottle of PC waiting for me in a bargain bin, cold and lonely without me. After days of waiting I finally got my hands on it. I had to have a little pep talk with myself first, to tell myself not to set my expectations too high. Then, anxiously, I spritzed my wrists. Ahhh, it was my precious Exotic Coconut back in my hands again! A toasty, smoky vanilla and coconut treat!

I waited and waited, prepared to be disappointed. I wasn’t. However, I was promised some white florals. They’re around…somewhere. Several hours later I caught a whiff of tropical white flowers and they’re fantastic but subtle. It’s mostly BBW’s Exotic Coconut with a little more muscle. It’s no masterpiece but I’m a happy camper.

i bought a bottle at marshalls on discount and i really like it i went back and bought 2 more. its a light watery creamy coconut that LASTS! finally found something not too strong that doesnt annoy me after a while.its very nice and mellow and a tad bit sweet kind of romantic i think but i really like this one and i hope its never discontinued.i also like the way the bottle has the hard outer part it looks cool and feels good in my hand while spraying i wish they would have put more thought into the design of the outer part but oh well this is a good one and almost becoming my signature scent lol!

I have this. I like it. It smells like clean, one-dimentional coconut, a bit of white flowers, and a vanillic-drydown on coconut--just like the pyramid says. Less suntan/beachy than clean, white, floating clouds in the warm breeze sort of thing. I heart coconut. I wish this was a bit stronger, and longer lasting. Specifically this lasts 4-6 hours, and has only mild sillage. Pure Crush is as striking and offensive as a body spray from B&BW.

That's the review part. The other part of me asks, why did they put this out? What's the story? Who decided to roll this onto the whole SJP/SATC thing? It seemingly has no advertising, no copy, the perfumer is not mentioned in the write up. If their intention was to make money, I doubt they will do so off this one--who the heck even knows about it? It just seems to thoughtlessly tacked on and put out. Strange. Or maybe not. I don't know.

Anyway, it scratched my looking for another coconut scent itch, but for most it won't be that intresting.

It is quite nice. Initially you may think of Body shop or Bath and Body works items...or you may continue to do so.. :)

It smells like coconut vanilla syrup... vanilla syrup with an ounce of coconut essence..or similar description..however, it is more sweet and vanilla then coconut notes..

Very pronounced powdery white floral with a background of sugary coconut. Even though it is soft I still have to say thank goodness they cut the white florals with coconut or this could get headache inducing. When I first sprayed this I thought that this smelled very much like the older, more sophisticated sister to Harajuku Lovers G but with a superior formula as the coconut note here is not (quite) as synthetic as that one.

On the whole I'm a little disappointed in this as I was expecting a strong, true, fresh coconut softened by just a touch of white florals and warmed with vanilla, and instead I smell like the powder and the women's powder room with a touch of sugary synthetic coconut (rather like Victoria's Secret Coconut Passion) I can see this as being rather lovely for weddings and on the whole I suppose I can describe it as "nice." Unfortunately for me my search for the perfect coconut fragrance will not be stopping at this one.

EDIT: Alright, the dry down is rather nice. Still too much powdery white floral, but now and again a flash of almost true coconut will peek through, less sugary sweet and more coconut flesh. Shows promise but its still not quite where I want it to be.

if i liked coconut i would LOVE this, but i really really can't stand any amounts of coconut. even with that coconut note, it's such a nice soft fragrance. not overpowering at all, but has REALLY good sillage and has stayed on my jacket for 2 days! smells like coconut, musk, flowers, and a little bit of dry vanilla. there is some other fruit note in this that i can detect, but i'm not sure waht it is. something about it smells 'pink' as well. it's also a clean and cooler scent, BUT best suited for fall/winter.
i think if i didn't KNOW it was coconut, i would like it

Creamy milky coconut mostly, faint vanilla and white flowers. Close to the skin. No comparison to original NYC SPJ. I have both but prefer Pure Crush out of the two.

Not complex at all, simple, slightly sweet, not offensive, coconut milk.

This is a very pleasant spicy coconut scent. It's not in your face suntan oil coconut, and I personally don't get much sweet vanilla either, but I do get a nice creamy spiciness. I can only smell the lovely clean gardenia when I put my nose right to my skin, I wish that note was a little louder. I could swear there is pepper here. In fact, this reminds me of layering B&BW Exotic Coconut with Ralph Hot, and that was the ultimate sultry summer scent. The combination literally used to get me swarmed with compliments. So this will do as a substitute for that. I can't say much about the progression of the scent, as it didn't change on my skin much. But it does have really nice sillage and is pretty long lasting. Behaves nicely in the heat. Great for summer!

It's nice but I already have Virgin Island Water, and I don't need another coconut perfume.
Today I try this fragrance again and I think smells very mutch like Virgin Island water by creed and if you have one you don't need the other.

Hated the original, but SJP NYC Pure Crush can stand on its own merits as an easy-wearing creamy treat. I don't get why they bothered to make this a flanker; how does it relate to either NYC or the screechy plastic mess of the original NYC? Never mind, it's a rhetorical question. This does not,thankfully, recreate a suntan preparation either. I'm just so pleased I took a chance and gave this a shot.
For notes I get a bit of earthy shell in the coconut, a green fresh coconut milk note, a "not too sweet" vanilla and hint of creamy white petals- not even full-on flowers to rise up into white cloying-ness. (is that even a word?) The effect is gentle and soothing.
This could be an updated version of Guy La Roche's Fidji, so I'll have to get out my bottle of that and compare. In the meantime, nice work SJP team!

Cononut almond milk as simple as the bottle! It's light and comfortable to wear.

I just love the "regular" NYC, so I thought that if Pure Crush is related, I'd give it a try. I was told by others that it smelled like coconut, so I tried to imagine NYC + coconut.
Nope. This is not NYC + coconut. Not at all.
Now, let me start by saying when I see "coconut and gardenia (or white floral)" as a frag's primary notes, I usually think: Oh no! A "Summer SCREACHER!" and I run away. Usually, when gardenia hits my skin, it puts the "PEE" in perfume, if you know what I mean. I wouldn't have bought this if I'd read the notes first, but since it was a blind buy... I am actually GLAD I didn't know! It's coconut MILK - not sugary, candy coconut - and it smells very authentic! Then soft gardenia slips in, quietly, not screamingly. There might be a tiny tiny bit of rose or other soft (not powdery) floral in there also. Very tropical, very well done.
I would still advise not to apply too heavily - although it didn't give me a headache (like gardenia usually does), it has AMAZING sillage.
Two people commented that I smelled good, like coconut. By that time, I could only smell the flowers.
I still prefer the original NYC, but Pure Crush is still a winner to me.

Clean and fresh...just as described. My new summer favorite for everyday wear.

When I first tried this, I didn't really get coconut right off the bat, but i just get this plasticky tuberose/jasmine combo with a "coconut water" vanilla. The scent wasn't loud but ho-hum and very calm. I find this version to be a flop. It's too different from the original one, and it doesn't even get a proper ads or promotion. I do not like it that much tho because I prefer my SJP NYC to be more fun and vibrant.

Purchased this at Marshalls last week and it's a beautiful scent of coconut mixed with a dash of vanilla. It's a beautiful scent since I love the smell of coconuts!


For the record, I do believe this is miles ahead of SJP NYC. For some reason when I smell SJP it makes me feel really sick
