The packaging is much more appealing than the scent
I didn't have high expectations prior to testing this fragrance, and not surprisingly I wasn't blown away by this scent.

There was nothing unpleasant about it, but then again there was nothing overly wonderful about it either. Looking at all the unique and interesting notes listed, I'm wondering where all those notes were.

I could definitely not smell cinnamon or melon in the top notes, which is a damn shame, because those notes when blended with the apple and bergamot should have created something interesting. However, I was met with a scent that can only be compared to a cheap drugstore fragrance.

What is supposed to be a beautiful heart of florals, turns out to be so faint that you can hardly smell it. In fact, Dolly Girl hardly lasts at all. It's possibly one of the worst fragrances when it comes to lasting strength.

I didn't get any of the powderyness that everyone is describing here, instead I got a big jumbled mess of fruits and flowers, making it very difficult to distinguish any particular notes.

Although I find the bottle design creative, up close it looks rather cheap and tacky. Unfortunately there's nothing about Dolly Girl that I actually like. Even the name is a little ridiculous and childish.

I haven't tried the other fragrances in the Dolly Girl series, but here's hoping they are much better than the original.

Fragrance from the Past
Dolly Girl was one of the first perfumes I owned. The bottle from back then is long gone, and I hadn't thought about this scent for many years. About two years ago, I smelled another perfume that I owned during that time, and the memory of Dolly Girl came back. I bought a new bottle on eBay because I really wanted to smell this scent again.

The memory came back immediately. Whenever I sniff Dolly Girl, I feel transported 20 years into the past. Back then, I really liked this scent. Even today, I still enjoy it, but more in a nostalgic way. I don't wear it anymore; I only spray it at home. Too many other fragrances have overshadowed the pink girl.

For me, the scent remains quite unchanged throughout. I can't perceive all the various notes. I can recognize apple, melon, and a bit of something citrusy, perhaps bergamot. I also notice floral notes, but as always, I find it difficult to identify the flowers precisely. Rose is the only one I can sniff out.

The scent has something light and playful about it, yet it is not exclusively girlish.

My daughter just sniffed it and immediately said she recognized the scent and it reminded her of something beautiful. When she saw the bottle, she recognized it again because she had sniffed it when I wore it as a very small child. She asked me to wear it more often because, for her, Dolly Girl smells like young mom. :)

lolita scent: girlishly innocent yet erotic...
hmmmmm....the scent is really very beautifully light, fruity, and very floral fresh yet delicate and velvety.

I can strongly smell the rose. It has something Lolita-like, which I particularly like ;) but also a hint of grape even though there are none in the fragrance notes..

It is not too overpowering. It smells girlish, innocent, playful yet seductive and erotic. With this scent, the wearer feels cute and young.
Unfortunately, the scent does not last too long. At least for me.

The bottle is also interesting to look at. Although it is a bit creepy. A slender rose-colored female head that reminds me of a saloon dancer.
Dolly girl is more suited for younger romantic fairy-tale-like women and is ideal for spring and summer as it is very light and fresh.

I myself would buy the scent over and over again, although it is sold out in Germany :( what a shame.

little sweet dolly
as the bottle suggests, this scent is sweet. too light, too sweet, unremarkable. on my skin, it’s almost just like sugar water. but Anna Sui always has stylish bottles...
