Sweet, easy to wear, great value
I've been enjoying fruity fragrances recently and wanted to add more to my collection, I read a review of SJP NYC and decided to give it a go - and I'm so glad I did!
It is, as you would probably expect, a bit synthetic and alcohol-y when first sprayed. After that, it's shampoo like and lightly floral, I do get some honeysuckle.
Once it has had a chance to settle on the skin, it's sweet, fruity and delicious. I don't get strawberry specifically, more of a summer fruits/mixed berry cordial smell, or maybe a fruity cocktail.
I find the sweetness addictive, I normally spray the inside of my elbow and I can't stop raising my arm to sniff it. It actually makes my mouth water! Once this has settled the notes don't develop any further but that's fine by me.
I'm not suggesting they are dupes by any means (or even distant cousins), BUT the full dry down, when most of the fruity/floral has gone and it's just sweet, reminds me of Byredo Black Saffron after a full day's wear or the following day on clothes. That dries down very sweet on me and I find the sweetness of SJP NYC to be similar.
I got a small bottle and can see myself repurchasing for a great value, easy daytime summer fragrance.
