   I’m afraid I agree with the reviewers who said this was trash. It is. Watery indistinguishable notes make a faint, weak overall impression of clean laundry. At best, this is a ‘clean’ floral, but it’s so sheer and generic that it is actually less interesting than the scent that is IN my laundry detergent. A total waste of time, as another reviewer said. Amazing that this made it to market. All that being said, it is a nice scent of clean laundry, so you can certainly wear it easily enough and use up a full bottle. I won’t because it doesn’t seem worth the effort to push the sprayer down to me, but others will find it’s basic, plain clean feeling appealing. I however am not one.

   I like what another reviewer said about this fragrance. It’s preppy. It smells just like what you would imagine a preppy, popular girl to smell like. I, like everyone else, got a sample of this perfume, when i ordered another perfume (Pink Sugar) from Fragrance.net. It is really a cute little, well put together perfume. It’s very very powdery when you first spray it on. That is the helitrope note that is blossoming. I love powdery fragrances and this is truly powdery. It’s a soft little fragrance and gets more floral with white flowers the longer it sits on the skin. I detect violet and lily of the valley and jasmine and lily. Has notes of peach and mandarin orange but i cant really detect them. This may be full bottle worthy. Also, it reminds me of those cute, tiny little bars of soap that were wrapped in aluminum foil and had flowers printed on them that hotels used to use in the 70’s. It’s just a so delicate, naive little scent. I love it.

   Oh this is nice!! To me this is very feminine without being too ‘girly,’ a grownup type of perfume. I think this would appeal more to those 25+ or older, or especially those in their 30’s and above, not sure the young gals would like this, but maybe so..? Fragrance is so personal. I do agree that this smells like Amazing Grace but I disagree that the lasting power is not there. For me, I get the opposite, Amazing Grace dissipates quickly on me, this lasts on me all day, granted it is quite faint by the end of the day, but as with fragrances, if I can still smell it on me, others certainly can as well.

   I think this would be great for daytime, is really nice for Spring or Summer, but could be year-round. I don’t think this is heavy or overpowering so it may be safe for some sensitive noses, but again, fragrance is very subjective and personal. The bottle is pretty generic looking, nothing special, but is pretty with the little hearts in a circle. I am not one for overly fancy bottles, give me a nice scent in a basic bottle and I am happy.

   As for the Amazing Grace comparisons (sorry to mention AG, but it is such a popular scent), I feel this is close but not a dupe. Cousins, not twins, as the saying goes!! But that may give you an idea the type of scent this is, light, soft, feminine, clean and fresh, not overpowering. I disagree that it is not a date night scent, as not everyone likes overpowering, strong, overtly sexy or sensual fragrances. My S/O enjoys this much more than the typical ‘date night’ scents some may think of (but then we are not fans of anything too heavy)…So again, fragrance is subjective. But I would wear this on a date night, or a coffee run with girlfriends, or to church, or shopping, or to a wedding..just about anywhere!! A very versatile fragrance!!!! Very happy with it and would re-purchase.

   I’ve used a bunch of samples of this product since fragrancenet always seems to be pushing it. It is very similar to Amazing Grace, minus any staying power. I tend to use this if I’m going to work or something, but would never reach for it for a date night or girls’ night out. It’s not very sexy or strong. I prefer something a little more exotic as opposed to clean, soapy scents. I do know fragrancenet sends decent coupons for this scent, so if you’re interested you can definitely get it for pretty cheap. I wouldn’t purchase this on my own, but I don’t throw away the samples either. So-so product and scent.

   This is basically a knock-off of Amazing Grace- it’s clean, sweet and pretty…for the 10 minutes it lasts before it disappears. Seriously, there is nothing left on my skin- no base notes- nothing. The best things I can say is that I didn’t spend much on a small spray bottle and that it’s not offensive- don’t bother.

   I got a sample of this with my recent purchase from fragrancenet. This is very clean soapy musk. Hmm, I think it reminds me of Skin Musk(I think that’s the name). On my skin it smells like Ivory soap-by far the most realistic soapy scent I have ever encountered. Smelling like soap is not my thing but if you like these kind of scents, this can’t be beat. Lasting power seems pretty good as well

   Simply Belle is … “orange and peach oils wrappped with violet accents….white floral notes … watery and clean, over a sensual bed of musk and vanilla,” notes the manufacturer Exceptional Parfums. The overall effect is like freshly ironed and starched linen, the musk topped by peach are the prominent notes, like dryer sheets. Fresh, youthful, and preppy.
