My son got this for me at SDM for Mother’s Day. It was on the $19.99 shelf and I had not tested it, however, I did look it up here and thought it was worth a go.
It does have a unique note that I believe is the Brazilian gardenia. This is a lovely, light fragrance that is not normally what I wear but I’m liking it enough to wear it on very warm days when light works for me. Gorgeous bottle I have the 30 ml which is perfect for carrying in my purse for touchups.

I picked this up on clearance at SDM yesterday and am enjoying getting to know it. On me, it is a sweet mix of lilac, gardenia, coconut and tonka. I am not able to smell any sandalwood and don’t find it powdery but rather creamy. I think this creaminess is from the combination of coconut, gardenia and tonka. This was a blind buy at the recommendation of the SA and isn’t something I would usually pick for myself. It is a soft, pretty floral in a gorgeous bottle. So far, I like it 🙂

I wore this one today. I love the smell of lilacs and this one captures that without being to overpowering. The lasting power on this perfume is also very good. I give it a 9 out of 10.

So so PRETTY!! I love it. This is light, floral and very, very feminine. It’s just so georgous. Perfect for any girly girl out there and the bottle is to covet. Defiantly an underrated fragerance. Happened upon it by chance and am so glad i did. It’s a little gem of a perfume. Pretty flowers and musk. Not sickly sweet at all (which can sometimes smell cheap) just an elegant floral. Quite unique. Stunning! Would be ideal for a bride also.
It’s the iris n lilac with gives it it’s uniqueness.

This is the Lilac perfume I’ve been looking for. Lilacs are my favorite flower so this is a must have in my fragrance wardrobe.

I love this one! Love Love. I have a wardrobe of perfume. This is one that I seem to use every day. It smells so beautiful on me & men love it. Over & over, men comment how nice I smell. My friend said it smelled good like conditioner. Now hair conditioners come in so many different fragrance nowadays but this is your generic back in the 80s conditioner that smelled so soft and good. I agree with my friend, it’s a clean smell but not citrus clean, instead delicate powdery clean. Some folk want their perfume to be unique and not smell like some high quality shampoo or conditioner, not I. I really love good smells & this one makes me happy & relaxed. I tend to combine my perfumes. I find that if I spray LOOK also by Vera Wang on first and this one layered over it a little later the combination is exquisite. Same goes with Moschino Cheap & Chic. I spray that one first. Let it kick in. Then about 15 minutes a spray of this one.

Generic musky sandalwood floral. No real character to it, but I could see this being pleasing in an office setting, at a wedding, etc. Very linear, and I can’t make out many of the supposed individual notes. (Rum? I don’t think so!). The good thing is, it’s inexpensive, easy to find, and the bottle is reasonably cute. Overall, not for me.

This is a very light inoffensive fragrance. I mostly get the sandalwood note, but not in a heavy masculine way, it’s subtle and feminine, quickly followed by gentle florals. It’s a pretty scent, but there’s nothing showstopping about it. I can’t smell any of the coconut or peach at all! It’s a safe kind of perfume, easy to turn to and easy to forget.

Got this perfume as a gift. I was alittle worried before I opened up this perfume as it was shown on this webpage ppl who like this perfume also like Madonna’s Truth and Dare.
On closer look, the bottle is really elegant and pretty, and the cap reminds me of a diamond. I love how the perfume slowly unveils itself. To be honest, the fragrant started out alittle strong, but it tapers off to a soft powdery feminine scent. It is really beyond my expectation and I really love this.

I’d like to start by saying that I can just as easily fall in love with an affordable mainstream scent as I can for a niche, higher priced fragrance.
Unfortunately, this scent by Vera Wang is decidedly “cheap” smelling.
It has a wonderful dry, creamy scent, and if you are a user of Nivea body lotion, as I am, and an admirer of the fragrance of Nivea then you will absolutely know and like this smell.
I’ve always liked the smell of Nivea body lotion, so I liked this scent as beach, home or sachet scent. As a primary scent it simply lacks the complexity and quality I gravitate toward.
Poison – :
It reminds me of Trussardi My Name as it has similar lilac floral heart notes, with a smoother, more musky and better dry down. It lasts a little longer on me than My Name, but still not very good longevity at only about 1 hour. Pretty, pleasant but not distinctive enough to be full bottle worthy in my opinion.
Edit. I received a bottle of this for Christmas, so I’ve had a chance to wear it for a full day and in the hot weather. It’s sort of grown on me, I now can appreciate the creaminess of the dry down, which to me is the best feature. It’s a cool-hearted ‘fume, classier than I recall from my first test. If you can get a good price on this it may be worth purchasing.

This reminds me of Burberry Body but a bit lighter, a bit sweeter, and a little more powdery. Looking at the notes, I now see why. I always like the combination of peach, musk, and sandalwood for some reason; it gives off a very comforting, very balanced, sensual scent on my skin. I would probably be more prone to wear this in the spring or summer and it is definitely a great scent for daytime or office wear. Very light, but still very pretty.

So it seems I should have a bottle of this. My friend has been wearing this non-stop and when I finally asked her what she wears she said it is this. I love it. It is like a cross of Chanel No.5 and Chanel No.19 to me. Powdery, woody, a little green and floral something. I am going to have to find a Kohl’s and pick up a bottle. There isn’t one in Manhattan I know. Maybe Long Island? That is where she lives.
INFARIAGREELT – :
So while at Kohl’s online to pick up some kitchen supplies I ordered this because I had tested it at the store. The sandalwood is strong and it is powdery but not in an intrusive way. The floral notes are detectable after the initial spritz. It has a nice balance on me anyway. I got my bottle yesterday and I am in love with this now. I don’t think the longevity is that long and the sillage is moderate. It reminds me of Yellow Diamond but with a more woody kick to it actually. I find this beautiful. The price is reasonable as well.
9/10

I just tested this at Kohl’s and I fell in love with it! I don’t care for most of her fragrances, especially the Princess ones, but this was very pleasant. i detected sandalwood for sure and florals and although i am not into florals a whole lot, this was a nice mix of scents. I Love sandalwood! So yeah I liked this and am prob going to purchase some now. I can still smell it on my wrist and it has been 7 hours. So it does have some longevity for me anyway. I was reading several other reviews where people said that it did not last long and it wasn’t for them, but for some reason it stays long on me. It’s a new favorite! 😀

I think it will be a while before I buy another Vera Wang fragrance, she is on a roll with less than interesting fragrances .Vera Forever is light, soft, nothing great nor bad about it..reminds me of Bieber The Key..
Nice bottle I agree, but the scent is nothing interesting, unless you like light, and more light..I don’t detect notes, it is vaguely fresh , and floral, a bit musky,. On the other hand it won’t offend anyone..perfect for teachers, or ladies who like non intrusive fragrances
disappointed yes I am!
Агапит – :
After spending 24 hours with this perfume, I must say that unless you want to pay $50 for a lovely decoration for your vanity, or don’t wish to smell good to anyone but your significant other, don’t buy this.
It’s lovely when it comes out of the bottle, but I will be using this up as a bedtime fragrance. After a few minutes, that’s how close you have to be to anyone for them to smell it.
I must say, my husband noticed and said I smelled good.

I bought this today while shopping kn Kohl’s. I don’t normally care for designer perfumes, but tried this and was pleasantly surprised. It smelled like a grown up perfume, despite it’s softness. It did not have that sugary, cotton candy smell so prevalent in perfumes popular with younger women. I impulsively purchased it. The bottle is beautiful.
It doesn’t seem to be long lasting and doesn’t have much sillage. Therefore, in my mind it isn’t the quality of the Estee Lauder scents I normally wear.
This is probably not something I would purchase again at this price. My Youth Dew is higher quality scent for much less money. I’ll certainly use this and enjoy it, though.

A soft, very powdery floral woody musk, that stays close to the skin. Not very long-lasting, I had to re-spray an hour later. It’s a very pretty, feminine fragrance, no sharpness, floral-sweet but not in a sugary way. The floral blend is mostly along the lines of lilac-iris-peach, not gardenia, and I don’t detect any coconut, but I do notice the sandalwood which gives it a nice edge. It’s a good fragrance to spray on clothing, as it smells the same on clothes as on the skin, since it doesn’t develop much past the top notes. I’d be happy to own this.

I tried this today at Kohl’s and I really like it! I wasn’t sure what to expect but when I sprayed this on my wrist, I could pick up on some powdery notes along with some florals. I like how light and airy this is and I will eventually be purchasing this in the future.
visim – :
I’m seriously considering this for my wedding day perfume. It’s light, sparkly, bright, but has lasting power and elegance. It’s just so dreamy…I love it.
Namagoroshi – :
I like this. A lot! I sprayed this on while I was shopping Kohl’s (are they the only one that carries this?). I was surprised by how much I liked it. I’ll probably go back to Kohl’s tomorrow to buy Forever Vera. I’m not good at describing notes; I can only describe what I smell. At first it was quite fruity. I like fruity scents. Then after wearing it a while, it got slightly musky and powdery. But not overly so. I cannot tolerate heavy musk or powder.
This is light in those 2 categories. I think I detect vanilla, along with the above scents I’ve already described. So far, Forever Vera seems to be lasting a long time. I will not buy fragrances that don’t last. They are a waste of my money. This has been on me several hours and it doesn’t seem like it’s fading at all. Will someone smell it when they walk into the room? No. (And I wouldn’t want them to). But close up, you can definitely smell this perfume. Not too heavy; not too light. Seems pretty perfect, all around. I’ve been searching for my signature scent for years. I’m not sure yet, but this might be the one!

I tried this on today at Kohls… immediately put it in my cart to purchase; which is something I never do! Since I can be very sensitive to perfumes because they usually give me migraines; I didn’t get this sensation from this perfume. The initial spray is absolutely heavenely and the dry-down is wonderful too! I’ve only been wearing this for a few hours, I can already tell that the silliage isn’t amazing and it stays close to the skin. It’s a more elegant/ mature fragrance; NOT granny by any means- just very sweet and classy. I’m late 20s and would definately wear this as my daily signature fragrance.
I love the powderiness of this. It reminds me of a more fruity Guerlian Colours of Love. Just a very pretty, done right perfume. Try before you buy- they have plenty of free sample cards at Kohls that currently include a $10 off your purchase (or just use the promo code: FOREVER10)

I sprayed this on and kept thinking, I have bought this perfume before, and returned it. Finally… the name has come to me: See by Chloe. In particular the See by Chloe Eau Fresh. It smells very much like that one. I like Forever Vera more – it is softer and has a nice refined classy style to it, like you are clean, done up, and with nice products. I can’t pinpoint any specific notes on it except maybe floral and lightest wood, there is sort of the face cream vibe, but it smells good and stays well.
ВВС – :
I am an older lady. I was fortunate to get a whiff this weekend and spray on me. I prefer this to her recent princesses collections- I’m more like the queen:) So definitely for me 🙂
It is floral and soft. I did not get gardenia. I don’t get coconut either. It is not sweet and it is not fruity. It did last about a couple of hours when sprayed on my neck. Could smell swirling around me but nobody stopped me or followed me or commented that tells you that silliage is not fantastic. I think the bottle is a beautiful classic design. And yes, it’s definitely a lovely wearable bride fragrance. However the model’s sexy picture with the come hither look (or have been there look)does not grab me as the best representation of the fragrance.Seriously considering buying this.
krokus – :
Smells like a nice face cream. Or maybe like American Beauty face cream with a touch of Chaps perfume. I smell no coconut here and no clear gardenia. Wish I could
I tried it on a man. He likes it. He can smell the florals. Says the perfume reminds him of a nice makeup smell
mureMoffnerce – :
Sadly i gotta say this reminds me of old ladies. Its WAY too powdery….at least for my liking.
genahairov – :
I see that several people rated this perfume already. But, has anybody actually tried this perfume yet? If you tested it (since I am assuming you have since, you rated it) can you describe what it smells like or right a review. Does, it remind you of any other perfumes? I am thinking about purchasing a bottle, but wanted a better idea of how it smelled before hand.
Hearrandamb – :
Adorable bottle. I so want this + the notes sounds good too.
