Tommy Girl Tommy Hilfiger 1996

Great summer freshie
Tommy Hilfiger was a ubiquitous name in American fashion back in the 90s. His aesthetic never appealed to me, so it didn't occur to me that I would like a fragrance with the TH label. I don't think I ever smelt it back then. If I saw it in the department stores, it didn't even register as I walked past. Now I know better. Just because you don't like a fashion house's clothing design, doesn't mean you won't like their fragrance.
Many years later, I wanted a summer fragrance, so I picked up a 30ml bottle at Ross Dress For Less for under $20. Best blind buy yet. Light, fresh, and a little soapy. The citrus notes are dry to my nose, not juicy like the modern fruity fragrances I smell today. To my nose, Tommy Girl is structured and balanced. As it fades, I don't smell anything drastically different. I detect a gentle, gradual change over many hours, until finally I get soft woods. It's not my #1, but I keep going back to it on bright summer days. It's growing on me, for sure. One of the best cheapies I've ever gotten my hands on.
