This is probably my favorite of the 10 Crosby heavier floral scents, which doesn’t say much (the floral ones from the collection being Afloat, Looking Glass, Drunk on Youth, and Hi-Fi…). Looking Glass is feminine, pretty, and wearable for everyday, but unfortunately, it gives me a bit of a headache. Also, nothing truly sets it apart from many others on the market…Descent lasting power–at least 5 hours! I feel it smells slightly similar to Touch of Pink or Mary Kay’s Journey fragrance as well, already noted by another reviewer…

@jen. Totally would love to have this as a deodorant. Nothing more nothing less lol

Of many of the fragrances in the Derek Lam set, this is one I don’t care for. It’s too sweet. And it doesn’t last. And it’s boring and reminds me of deodorant. This is one I would skip.

Blind buy:
Easy to wear girlie floral. Not a lot of depth. A little squeak of something smoky or earthy would have knocked this out of the park.
It’s something I would give my niece for her birthday.
Unlike the other reviewers, I like the clean, simple package. That bein’ said, Feerie is one of my favorite bottles and it’s completely on the other end of the design spectrum.

Love this too I haven’t tried a Crosby fragrance yet that hasn’t been beautiful and blended well. This is a very unique unusual feminine fragrance.

Just got the sample box set and this was my first try. I like it! Reminds me a lot of Emozione by Ferragamo – a favorite. Maybe it’s he iris? Creamy

I bought the complete collection using a gift card, and this was the first scent I decided to wear after it arrived. It was definitely still discernible after five hours, but not after eight. I see the similarity to Tocca’s Liliana, but would say that Looking Glass is brighter, sweeter and fresher. I would recommend it as a safe option for a girl in high school or college who is looking for a crowd-pleasing scent but would like to have an unfamiliar bottle on her boudoir.

Did not like, did not dislike. It’s an “Eh.”
Agreed with below remarks on incompleteness. It is missing something, a hint of mystery or edge or adiction. Instead I find it bland and soon over.
Sorry, but on my skin it is unimpressive. And for the $/oz price tag, I want VaVaVoom!

As a big fan of Derek Lam’s clothing line, I decided to test some of his fragrances. I read all of the reviews online, and agree with perfumistas that most of the line smells “incomplete.” It almost seems like he should have made them layerable.
Looking Glass is my favorite of the bunch. A soft floral with a bit of fruity soapiness to it. The magnolia and Tonka bean are a bit of an odd combo, and at initial spritz, I found it a bit sharp. The dry down actually reminds me a tad of Dior J’adore (which I like, but don’t love.)
Lasting power is terrible, and sillage is moderate. I like, but don’t love this fragrance enough for full bottle. If I were gifted it, I think it would be a nice work or weekend scent. Doesn’t make too much of a statement, and decently crowd-pleasing. Price is a little steep, and the bottle is not super attractive.

I am wearing a sampler. I’ve had it on for 5 hours. I have a terrible head-ache and I can’t wash this off. It’s offensively floral and overly sweet.

Pleasant magnolia scent, but nothing to take your breath away.

Well the other “floral notes” definitely include lily to my nose, probably peony and gardenia as well. This is a very soft floral fragrance, reminded me of half a dozen other fragrances on the market including Dolce, Tocca Liliana (though I think Liliana is stronger), some of the Gucci florals, Carven Le Parfum, even a little bit Mary Kay Journey with that watery lily note. I don’t detect the magnolia. I’m surprised there aren’t any fruit notes listed, I would have guessed peach or apricot, there’s something giving it a juicy, sweeter vibe and it smells fruitier than tonka. It all lends to a very shampoo, clean floral scent. I would suggest looking elsewhere for your soft floral fix, the market is flooded with fragrances that are very similar to this one.

Sniffed this at Sephora and it was my favorite of the line. I have to have it. It’s pricey…but I’ll pay it. Lol I love it!
