"I love this FO and want to give it 5 stars but I am totally disappointed that I did not receive a full bottle. Packaged well and the box has no leaks. Not sure why they even packed it knowing it’s not the correct amount. This is unacceptable!"
"I just received my order of Lovely FO--I was so excited to open it and test it in lotion and a candle. Ugh. It's horrible. I am a huge fan of SJP Lovely, in fact it's the only perfume I wear all year. I have no idea what this fragrance is that I received today--it's certainly not Lovely. It smells like geraniums and is absolutely horrible. So disappointing!! If you haven't ever smelled the perfume, this is not even close to what it smells like. It's going in the trash bin."
"This fragrance worked well in CP soap. It is truly lovely and femine. Right after I unmolded the soap I was worried because the scent was weak. Now 6 weeks later the scent is strong and wonderful! I love it and will be purchasing it again. Advantages: No acceleration, discoloration, or ricing. Disadvantages: None"
"Not worth docking stars over, but the heady jasmine note is very overpowering even after an hour of dry down. The other notes are subtle and blurred together in the background. I think if you're hoping for a petrichor inspired fogginess then you'd be disappointed, but if you love florals, this is a very nice clean jasmine scent with no ""old lady perfume"" quality at all. I also would never market this as unisex, it is very, very pretty."
"This was the scent that attracted me to Rustic Escentuals. I saw someone talking about it, and decided to give them a try. I'm so glad I did. Love this scent. It's not too overpowering, but the scent lasts through cold process soaping, which as a soap maker, it quite impressive. I also make lotions, butters and bath bombs with it. My customers love it. Advantages: Works well in cold process soaping. Did not accelerate trace or rice. I had plenty of time to design my soap batter. Disadvantages: none"
"A truly beautiful scent. It's light and feminine but holds strong and true in CP with no acceleration, discoloration or ricing."
"Lovely is a perfect name for this fragrance. It is very delicate and feminine but, holds up well in CP. I had no problems soaping with it in CP. I soaped around 115. F and had no acceleration, discoloration or ricing. Scent is on the lighter side but, holds up well even after a 6 week cure. Advantages: Beautiful feminine scent that soaps well in CP. Disadvantages: Scent is on the lighter side."
"I didn't know what this fragrance was, but bought it and Green Irish Tweed based on the descriptions. I made a few test candles with Lovely and CB Advanced (the new stuff). I used 1. 5 oz per lb. It wicked so easily. It smelled so good, very uplifting. It is now my guilty pleasure. Sarah Jessica Parker. I love this so much I made perfume saches in 1 oz screw top tins. In a 3"" diameter container using htp 104 double wicked. Seemed to be a good burn. The scent is Lovely! Classy, different, calming, not overpowering, no headache for me and I am sensitive to perfumes. It is possible that another wick would work, CD, eco, but the htp is the one that did well and offered good throw. Other favorite FOs of mine are Molton Brown's Black Pepper, Coastal, and Sandalwood. Tom Ford's Black Orchid, and Tobacco Vanille, and Brown Sugar Fig, to give you an idea of my taste in general, which is pretty good but all over the place. Advantages: Easy to wick, clean burning, no jumpy flame, no soot. Seemed to be self trimming also, good melt pool. Lovely is a better FO, it's a good quality scent, not to chemical or powdery strangeness. It's not for everyone and smells better when melted or in warm water than OOB."
"Love this scent. Feminine and light but holds in CP soap. Will be back or more. Gives plenty of time to work with swirls. Advantages: No morphing in CP soapNo Acceleration or Ricing."
