Elie Saab Girl of Now Forever
I picked this one up for 19.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart here in Canada, which I knew was a good deal. I figured that if I didnt like it, I'd just pass it on to someone else and I wouldn't be out too much money.

This scent just didn't work for me. It's far too sweet and cloying for my taste. It's not terrible, it's just way too much. There isn't much development. It's linear, it dries down as the same scent that you first spray on. It literally does smell like straight-up raspberry lemonade but it's sharp and just not smooth enough for my liking. The bottle itself is so pretty, I just wish that the perfume itself was as nice as the bottle. I ended up giving my bottle away so I'm happy that I didn't pay too much for it.
*UPDATE*
5 years on and I re-visited this. Much better in cold weather, it's quite nice in Winter, the sweetness becomes much more toned down with more layers of depth. Wearing this in the heat makes it an unbearable mess.

A summer delight!
I got a sample of this perfume free with an order, and ended up liking it far more than what I had actually ordered!

The opening is beautiful - fruits and florals in perfect balance, in my opinion. I do get a hint of citrus in the opening of this, but it quickly fades and the blackcurrant and rose are the star of the show for me. After a few hours the dry down is a lovely sweet vanilla with just a hint of the rose and currant from before.

Longevity is good, and silage is intimate, which is ideal for me. For summer scents I want them to sit close to my skin as it's easy for them to be overwhelming otherwise. I often have a hard time finding summer fragrances that last a while, but don't project too much, and this one is the perfect mix!

Nothing too challenging here, just a fruity, rosy, vanilla. Well blended, and doesn't smell cheap or synthetic at all despite the great price point.

Perfect for summer
Zesty, fresh, fizzy scent.Starts as sweet, fruity and a bit floral, then changes to a sweet/gourmand vanilla, almond with a bit patchouli in the drydown.
It's really sweet and pretty scent, from the start till the end.Perfect for the summer.

For the Woman of Now
This charming fragrance gets everything right - only the title is misleading.

For a "Girl," it comes off as too mature - a "Lady" would be too much, as I associate that with more elegance.

A "Woman" without pretensions and false ambition would be the perfect wearer for this friendly, uncomplicated scent.

Woman of Now - is the better title.

The sweetness leans slightly towards the playful direction - but this attitude is something a Woman of Now can certainly afford.
The fruit blend is balanced and not sticky - rather appetizing.
Feminine and soft, Cashmeran and vanilla join in - and the patchouli adds a hint of depth.
But Forever doesn’t become too profound because of this - it remains light and cheerful.

A lovely fragrance with a pleasant dose of "Chic."

With Forever, you can happily take the dog for a walk - while humming "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison.

Colorful Summer Dream
The first impression is sweet and fruity, a bit like gummy bears, then it shifts to a fresh direction, like a colorful, light summer skirt swaying back and forth in the summer breeze. It lasts very well for many hours; to me, it feels clean, delicious with a slight fruitiness, not overly floral. A fragrance for young and young-at-heart girls, a faithful companion for the summer. Oh, how I wish summer were already here... Overall, it's a very wearable scent in an incredibly beautiful bottle, which I have already fallen in love with. It doesn't come off unpleasantly but rather lifts the spirits; I find the vanilla with the cashmeran in the dry down very successful, a bit like something delicious to nibble on. The almond also lingers for quite a while, very soft and romantic. This scent has a good recognizability; it smells different and will surely encounter us often. You like it from the first spray and even after many hours. For me, thumbs up.

Fruity and delicious with the warmer vanilla touch, it's the perfect flanker for the good season. Quite good sillage and pretty bottle

Fruity yes, but hardly sweet and dark fruity on me. I don’t find it girly at all, but rather mature. The bottle reaches the girl's heart ❤️

Girl of Now - DNA recognizable, but much fruitier & less sweet. Perfect for spring and days when you just want to be a girl...

For me, the most beautiful flanker with its soft powderiness. A fruity sweet spray luxury and modern exotic with great longevity - a wow!

Not an outright girly scent, but also suitable for a confident woman. Fruity sweet, intertwined with patch. A lively Pretty Woman.

Amazingly well done. I didn't like the previous two. Black, herbaceous, fruity currants and citrusy bitter notes. Highly recommended.

Mega sillage monster that is quite peaceful and harmless up close. Less marzipan than the original, making it lighter.

Not a knockout like the original GON. It's softer, powdery, slightly citrusy, with a hint of raspberry. Quite nice, but nothing more.

Floral-sweet with a nice vanilla touch. Definitely fruitier than the OG version and at least just as fragrant. Longevity: at least 8h.
