Perfume- Lovely

I have always been on the quest for a signature fragrance... The perfume that fully defines you. The scent that others immediately recognises as you. Your signature.

 In the past, I have always been drawn towards floral scents e.g. Cacharel's Anais Anais, Dior's Diorissmo, Philosophy's Amazing Grace etc.

 I received SJP's Lovely as a gift, from the bottle and commercial, one would immediately think that this was a feminine scent and indeed, this was my first impression when I sprayed it on my wrist. Initial impression: powdery, floral, musky...
 
However, after a few more uses, I suddenly got a whiff of a masculine woody musky scent. Almost like a man's aftershave. I was completely taken back by the perfume. After a bit of research, I then realised that SJP had intended for this to be a 'genderless' perfume- dirty, sexy, musky... And it really depends on body chemistry, on some it reads 'feminine and floral', on others it reads 'masculine and woody musky'...  Nevertheless, I quite enjoy this perfume- unobstrusive, sillage is decent, scent is comforting...
