Girl of Now Shine Elie Saab

Amber Floral
Perfumer: Dominique Ropion, Sophie Labbé

Girl of Now Shine is a pleasant surprise. It is a delicious warm almond-vanilla scent. I get Poison Girl vibes. It is sensual but does not take itself too seriously, it is playful and comfortable.

I was afraid of the pineapple note at the top but I do not detect it. The opening is just fruity, rich and nutty to me. The heart is almondy and floral – orange blossom, jasmine, ylang-ylang. The base is mainly vanillic. It is a gorgeous delight for fall and winter, lush in texture. One must like sweet and nutty fragrances though. I can imagine Girl of Now Shine being overwhelming for fainthearted.

It is strong in projection and looong-lasting. I guess that we could call Girl of Now Shine a more gourmand dupe of Poison girl. The beauty by Dior is still my favourite but Girl of now shine is not bad at all.

A gourmand powerhouse yet an easy reach perfume for a lazy night in.
