Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger
Floral Fruity
Calice Becker
I bought Tommy Girl for nostalgic reasons. Tommy Girl was popular back in the days when I was in school. Back then perfume had gender but did not have age. Our teachers wore Tommy Girl, and students wore Tommy Girl. It was an all-year-round fragrance. I was not a huge fan, but I did not mind the smell on others. From my point of view, it is always better to wear a mediocre scent than nothing at all.
I wanted to see how the scent is doing today in 2022. Obviously, it is still widely available on discount sites and it had to be reformulated for sure. Do I like it today, two decades later, older and hopefully wiser? The answer is no. It is a sharp floral fruity, very much on the floral side. I get lemon and violet the most, and this particular combo is not appealing to me.
The composition has sharp edges, at times comes across as almost nauseating. There is not much to balance the freshness and sharpness with. I know that it is probably not fair to judge the fragrance outside of its “prime time”, it had its days of popularity but were they truly deserved?
