Lovely from Sarah Jessica Parker is the perfume I reach for when I have a stressful day ahead. When I’m feeling a little worried about something I need to face in my day like a meeting or doctors appointment I will normally choose to wear Lovely. I spray on Lovely, inhale deeply and feel myself relax a little. I feel a bit more confident to face the day. Lovely is elegant and understated and I wouldn’t hesitate to wear this perfume for these types of meetings.

Fragrantica gives the following notes.
Top: Nectarine, bergamot, rosewood and lavender.
Heart: Apple martini, white daffodil and orchid.
Base: White amber, cedar, woody notes and white musk

I mostly smell lavender and rosewood when I first spray on Lovely with a hint of zest and sweetness from the light citrus and fruit notes.

I find lavender so relaxing and use a few drops of essential oil if I’m having trouble sleeping. I also have lavender growing in my garden and can’t help but pick some to smell as I walk past. It’s not that I love the smell of lavender; it can be strong and sharp. It’s the feeling of well-being I get from lavender’s scent that draws me in. It has a soothing effect.

The heart of the perfume leads to beautiful, feminine florals and the calming lavender lingers. The rosewood leads to a solid base with wood and musk. The lasting power of Lovely is excellent and at the end of the day I’m left with a gentle amber scent on my skin.

SJP Lovely is often compared to the more expensive Narciso Rodriguez for Her and has received favourable reviews from many perfume bloggers.

  2. Hi Katrina

    I agree- this is a wonderful scent and I rate is as probably the best celebrity scent out there. It is excellent value too. I got my bottle for around 17GBP for 100ml and it smells more expensive than that. The diffusion range The Lovely Collection is also very good. However, I draw the line at Covet which I didn’t get on with. I tell everyone to buy Lovely. It’s fabulous!

    best wishes

    PS It’s your fault I won and love Jessica Simpson Fancy Nights. I call it New cab smell after your review!

      Ha ha, that was a fun post. Fancy Nights is great.

      I can see why Covet would not appeal to everyone but I really like it. When I wear Lovely regularly I normally move on to Covet which has similarities to Lovely but is a bit edgier.

  3. I’m very glad to see Lovely getting some love! I wore Lovely constantly for a few years and while I’ve moved on from it now, I still keep a bottle. I love it on summer evenings. Like you, I find it very relaxing. That and Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds are the only celeb. scents I’ve ever bought. I think Lovely has established itself as a bit of a modern classic, notwithstanding its celebrity origins!

  4. I have loved this perfume for years – and the body lotion is ideal when I just want a long-lasting hint of scent. So glad to see another positive review!

  7. Fragrantica lists patchouli as a mid note too. I am surprised you didn’t include it, because it smells quite prominent!
