Sarah Jessica Parker Covet

I really love the whole package on this perfume. Its a fragrance that is best suited for day time wear, work and friends get together. Light minty apple with hints of a woody musk lingers on my wrist for a long time, a great quality perfume that I need only apply in the morning and be good right through the day without any need for top ups. The bottle is chunky with its smoky brown coloured glass lid that looks like a flower. Spritzing is even and you get just the right amount. All in all its a winner in my books and will always have a place on my dresser.

I do like this scent, its quite inviting and easy to wear. I'm not generally a fan of SJP so having said that I wouldn't rush out and purchase any of her scents. I was given a bottle of Covet and my Mother and I both tried it and were pleasantly surprised. I find it quite spicy and sultry and a celeb fragrance that doesn't smell like the rest.. I would recommend giving this a whiff if you are a fan of Dior Addict like scents as I think it would appeal to you!

50ml EDP, purchased myself, worn occasionally

Perfume is so much more than just the "juice" in the bottle. I also love learning about the story or inspiration behind different scents.

Several years back I came across an article about Sarah Jessica Parker's obsession with scent, how she'd been thinking about creating a perfume for years, and about her signature combination (Comme des Garcon's Avignon, with two different musk oils). She apparently had an unusual amount of involvement in the making, at least for a celebrity.

My friend had given me "Lovely", SJP's first fragrance, and while I really enjoyed it, I find "Covet" more intriguing. For a celebrity perfume it is certainly surprisingly dark after the initial green, bright, citrus-y burst. It's quite a warm floral after a while, and not particularly sweet (although they say it has a cocoa note, so I grabbed my block of 70% Whittakers -- it does have a bit of that in there!). It then dies down to a woody base that wears close to the skin. The base notes last a good 12 hours.

The packaging is something different to all the taller fragrance bottles I own. The bottle is solid and weighty, lending it a classic, elegant feel. The top is flower shaped, covering the nozzle and can get knocked off easily if you're not careful.

I purchased this discounted from its RRP, but I think even if bought at full price it's worth it. This is subjective, of course, but it really is a high quality fragrance whether you compare it to other "celebrity" fragrances or not.

I think this would be a good winter scent, and perhaps would even work on a man.

Ah this was one of my first perfumes I remember the beautiful bottle catching my eye in Farmers. And it was on a mega special, I had the 100ml bottle and it lasted me forever and ever! I remember being extra stoked as it came with a free gift at the counter when I went to pay for it.

This is a perfume for day and night, upon the first initial spray it opens with very sharp notes but settles into a beautiful sweet, citrus smelling scent. This perfume is very elegant and reminds me of spring time.

I'm a huge fan of sex and the city so was excited to see what SJP had to offer. Have to say the scent isn't what i'd call sexy...much more modest and floral....

Reminds me of a few perfumes an Elizabeth Arden 5th avenue series perhaps the after 5 one and like the cabotine de gres perfume too it's old school floral and classy also ling lasting I think older women would like it more it's not sweet I think it has sophistication to it and could become somebody's signature. Quite affordable a green perfume and I think would work for day but definitely night time too. I think it's quite a strong one aswell. Would be interesting to mix and layer with other scents.

I was given this as a gift a year or two ago and I never really wore it until recently when I ran out of my favourite perfume. I was surprised at how much I actually like it. It's definitely a unique smell, I guess the above description of it will have to do as I am terrible at describing smells.

The bottle is super pretty and it is pretty inexpensive, so I definitely think it should be given a chance.

Surprisingly I really liked this fragrance. Fresh, strong and summery! Lasted for ages and on the lower spectrum of prices for perfume. A good day to day if you want a nice summery scent and not a huge cost

Disliked this fragrance. Suited for the more mature. I THINK. It was possibly my chemistry ofcourse but it didn't suit me at all Just not for me.
