Stash Privé Sarah Jessica Parker 2017

Sarah Jessica Parker Stash Prive
I am really happy that I didn't listen to any of the negative reviews on this fragrance (all reviews are subjective to everyone's own personal preferences anyway) or I may not have purchased this but I figured for 12.99, if I didn't like it, I wasn't out much money so I went for it.
When I saw that it was mostly compared to an expensive Chanel fragrance (Chance eau Tendre), I was understandably skeptical.
Went on a lunch date with 2 friends on Saturday and figured it was the perfect time to test it out. As soon as I spritzed it on, instant love!
Some celebrity fragrances have a cheap-ish edge to them but this one doesn't at all. It smells expensive and classy and makes you feel put-together.
On the drydown, I do understand the reference to Chance eau Tendre. I think I actually prefer this, it's less biting, less sharp.
I'm (unfortunately) sensitive to fragrance and when I have an allergic reaction, it's not pretty. This one fully behaved itself and didn't give me any issues.
It's a tad on the lighter side but I could smell it on myself most of the day, right up until evening, when it did die down quite a bit so if you're worried about performance, you may need to re-apply as your day wears on.
The scent itself is fresh and sparkling, a tad zingy, a tad woody. I wore it in the Winter but I think this would really come alive and sing in Spring/Summer.
I don't smell much of the musk or sage but I can detect the quince, grapefruit, pink pepper, orange blossom, birch and vetiver. This fragrance is blended incredibly well so one note doesn't outshine any of the others.
For a celebrity fragrance, I'm incredibly impressed with this, especially for the bargain-basement price I paid.
Other fragrances that have a similar vibe that I could compare this to are Coach for Women and Ari. Stash Prive is smoother/less sharp/less screechy than Coach and it smells better blended/airier/less cheap than Ari. I had both Coach and Ari and de-cluttered them but Stash Prive is staying in my collection forever and is destined to become a go-to for days when I'm sick of everything else.
If I ever come across another bottle for the same price, I will snag it too.
A successful blind buy for me!
