Wonderlust

This perfume is one rebrand away from becoming the best perfume ever. The name "Wonderlust" takes away the main strength of this perfume, which is that it's a nice cosy fragrance that's really versatile and never too overwhelming. As someone who lives in a hot climate, I've been searching for an "all-rounder" perfume that I could wear to work, when it's too hot, or just generally when my more extravagant perfumes don't fit the occasion. However, I've found that a lot of perfumes on the market that are supposed to fit this profile are always too floral, too musky, too citrusy, or too expensive. I love the powdery almond aspect of this perfume, because it's not accompanied by an overwhelming amount of sweetness. The citrus in the initial opening is a nice way of balancing the scent to make it more versatile, but I do feel like it takes away from the almond milk a bit. I think the almond and heliotrope needs to be given the spotlight. Not told to shut up. I think the marketing problem is one of the reasons why people might find this perfume generic or underwhelming. The name "Wonderlust" sounds like you're on a yacht off the coast of Greece. This perfume, however, smells like you're sitting by a window in your Tuscan home.

Easy reach, easy to wear, cannot get tired of it. Smells amazing.

citrusy, woody, very powdery. the almond note is gorgeous

At first I could smell the powdery heliotrope almond with the jasmine, the cashmeran the sandalwood it was still jasmine with a scent on the side that I didnt think made it better. I think it made it slightly less than compared to what it is now. Ive always liked it but didnt reach for it much since I guess when you get to as many as I have now, when nearly all recent releases feature jasmine in the mid notes, even a gourmand, unless youre going for a straight up gourmand as in you smell like synthetic foods and the imaginary version of what something you taste like smells like, perfume oils in every way, not any kind of perfume or natural ingredient oil. So you dont reach for any too often, since I try to wear a different one every day and if I never do? Give them a new home with someone who will, and realized I havent worn WL in a while, so Ill wear it today. Its been about 2 years since I first opened the new bottle and Im not getting the same at all as my first review upon a week into wearing it. It was a hint of bergamot for a second with a very powdered almondy jasmine and soft sandalwood finish... another jasmine and something perfume at the time. Not bad at all I love MK, but not standing out in my ever growing collection so she sat a while without much attn. Then I wore it the past few days in a row. The oxidization since has resulted in the jasmine sambac taking over everyone in the bottle, told them allll gtfo, and they all said, yes ma'am we are leaving sorry to bother you! Its like smelling the real flower too. Thats IT. No powder. Nothing maybe a slight bitter almond left? But thats a guess really, because I cant believe it could change to this so drastically just 2 years in. Perfumes expire at 6 years (according to the industry you judge for yourself whether or not the ingredients have broken down into toxic compounds). Alien Goddess funnily, is the 1st "If you like this you might also like" list and thats what it reminds me of NOW. The projection and longevity are a monster, and nearly eternal. Theres no need for a more than a few sprays and no touchup. If I were to smell it now vs 2 years ago Id say no this isnt the real WL. I like this one better. The base, about 2 days later, is finally mostly the sandalwood on the skin(!) And my skin eats perfume within minutes so much so I got a perfume primer for it. Doesnt matter if its moisturized or not. That perfume is disappearing fast and I understand most clothing will hold perfume far longer than skin. Got a new perfume in the meantime today (lol) and I had to take my old clothes out of the room so the new perfume could not be overwhelmed with jasmine still floating around my room. So you enjoy that powdered almond & jasmine w soft cashmeran and sandalwood mix while you can. By the time the new Lattafa/Paris Corner etc has blended out the smell of rubber (Minya finally stopped smelling like rubber - a year later, and is actually one of my favs on the shelf rn) to somewhat wearable around year 1-2, if this one is still on your shelf? Get ready to meet a whole different kind of lust imo because this went from pretty to sexy. I recommend it more so after blending in a few years, I liked it a lot then, but I love it now.

A little creamy, a little powdery, cozy, woody floral. She’s cute, but a little boring.

This perfume is a solid picked i just gifted this to my wife, and she really loved it, the almond dry down with jasmine was blended so well smell so good and very long lasting, solid blind buy and i think its very safe also for majority of women out there. Compliment monster

Very generic and underwhelming smell. Does indeed feel unfinished and lack lustre. I do not get anything milky, creamy or sweet from this smell. It is overwhelmingly peppery, citrusy and a bit woody. It's not offensive but certainly not something I like having on my body and doesn't smell like the price should reflect.

Soft, cozy almond milk vibe. It is creamy, slightly sweet, and very comforting. It sits close to the skin, never loud or overpowering. A gentle, clean scent that feels like a warm hug.

A very pleasant scent! Very feminin, cosy, seductive and warm. Like the sun in a bottle! Very similar with HOLISTER CANYON ESCAPE; the same DNA. Like a sunset in a beach of ALGARVE.

Best way to describe this is a fresh peach with baby powder, sugar and a white floral. It feels summery but a bit dated and mature. While it's not an unpleasant scent, it doesn't really stand out. Just a generic sugary fruity sweet scent. Smell: 6 out of 10 Strength: 8 out of 10 Feminine

Ground breaking? No. Pretty and easy to wear? Absolutely! I don't get compliments often in public on my perfume but got one yesterday from my dentist while wearing this. Great longevity on my clothes and skin. I can still smell it this morning on me. It's been about 16 hours since I applied it! If anyone has a bottle of this that is for sure legit that you don't want, DM me!

A very inoffensive sweet white floral. Not unique in any regard, but perfectly pleasant and good for everyday wear. 7/10

I've never been a fan of powdery scents, but this one caught my eye. It's powdery, pleasant, and comforting, but there's also a hint of something juicy every now and then—probably bergamot. It lasts a surprisingly long time—6 hours.

This is extremely generic and boring to me. It was a blind buy and I had high hopes, but ultimately I'm going to take it into the office to find it a new home among my coworkers. It certainly has mass market appeal but I really don't know who would fall in love with this scent. It's inoffensive and perfectly pleasant, which I'm sure is someone's cup of tea but certainly not mine.

so unbelievably generic. kind of pleasant but i cannot imagine a single person going to a store using their free will to choose this fragrance for themselves.

Relatively pleasant but extremely basic non complex scent. It's very Jasmine forward to me, also good dose of Carnation. I can definitely pick up on the pink pepper and the slightly soapy/woody cashmere woods. I don't get the almond or the creamy notes some do, to me it smells more like a spring day, airy and crisp. Like a strong breeze blowing through your windows, fresh cut flowers on the table, clean laundry on the line drying in the wind. Strong floral but still sits close enough to the skin that it's inoffensive It's been done a lot though and I would not go out of my way to get again

I adore how this smells. I desperately wish it lasted longer than an hour on me.

A very basic generic scent. Smells pleasant but nothing special. Reminds me of those magazine perfumes and what the entrance of a perfume department store smells like.

For a $37 cheapie it’s nice. There’s a note in there that reminds me of the drydown of girl of shine by elie saab, likely the almond and citrus. Girl of shine is heavier and more dense. This is far lighter but very noticeable with a nice scent bubble if you spray 8 or so sprays. Overall I do think this is pretty. It leaves a nice scent trail. Longevity is better than some of my expensive perfumes so that’s a plus. Well Worth the $37. The bottle is pretty! The dry down a few hours later is gorgeous and still going strong. Overall this was a successful blind buy! I look forward to testing it in colder weather. In the Midwest US it’s still 85 degrees in Oct. I think this may really shine in colder temps

This is the kind of feminine warm creamy powdery goodness I've been looking for! The almond is definitely there, like an almond cookie dusted with powdered sugar. white florals, bergamot and a hint of pepper balance out all the fluff. It has a slight soapiness like powdery perfumes often have, but it's not unpleasant in my opinion. I'd say the perfume resembles a cozy but clean almond-vanilla bodymilk. perfect balance between girly/mature and an easy grab for everyday wear. and yes, it might not be very high-end, but it's definitely worth its price

Wonderlust triggered a scent memory: I remember a very similar scent my mom had in the 90s. Maybe from Yves Rocher? Wonderlust scent is not something you come across often nowadays. It almost feels out of place. It is vintage-y, creamy, feminine, almondy, the florals a bit nauseating. It does match the Michael Kors brand. Could be worn by a middle aged small town woman travelling in a nearby beach resort. She wears beige and pink and kitten heels.

A very basic designer scent. White floral with some rounded creamy ( from almond note) cashmere wood… to me it’s boring and basic… but you can get it cheap. Does turn a bit soapy in dry down. I thought it would be diffent because of the notes but it is very basic designer… it’s not bad just not unique or special in any way. Pleasant enough.. rate 3.5 out of 5

its kinda a basic woody floral to me nothing unique or special about it, pleasant but I wouldn't repurchase.

My 2nd review 😏☺️ But I had to share bcs I just ordered for $32 on Jomashop, Get it while you can! 3.4 oz bottle. This is one of my signature scents so I had to do it!! I will forever love this nutty floral goodness 😍 This comes out a little sharp (in a good way) due to the bergamot and pink pepper but softens up right away due to the almond milk, cashmere and sandalwood. All around though, it’s a milky floral. Heliotrope heavy. I agree below, it is pretty, creamy, and soft. If you like this, also try Marc Jacob’s Perfect Intense, they are similar. These are my 2 fav scents. I love this scent profile. It’s like a warm cozy hug. Very feminine. Non offensive. Office safe. Can’t hate it (great gift). Update: it came in the mail and it is legit! This should be illegal. Big bottle too. So happy. Love this one. It really is WONDERFUL!

I completely agree with Flamecat! It’s pretty, creamy and soft. However, I too do not find it all that exciting. I do like it, but the more perfumes I try, the more I like ones that have a little standout quality. This, although pretty, doesn’t stand out in my collection and also does not last long on my chemistry. It is definitely blind buy safe. There’s nothing to dislike about it. It’s just a bit generic for my tastes.

Beautiful perfume. Smooth. I get a lot of florals with this, white florals. I’ll have to see how it is once it dries down. Sweet as well, but not overly sweet.

Loved this in duty free - it was my first designer fragrance purchase and I thought it was beachy and captivating. Once home from holiday I didn't tend to reach for it, now when I smell it I still like it, but it feels slightly generic and has lost that addictiveness and beach goddess quality. Performance is okay, I have no big feelings on either end of the spectrum. Thinking of using this as an every day scent to make sure it doesn’t sit there for years not being used. It’s pretty, feminine and non offensive, but I have others I prefer now - I’d say it’s a safe blind buy but likely wont repurchase.

I had to blind buy this because of reasons and I read all the way back to 2019 and all the perfumes mentioned I have or just got this year or are on my wishlist (Euphoria and Addict I am and have been looking at you). Mon Guerlain (and 3 flankers, yes I love that line), Good Girl, Libre Intense, Guess Seductive Noir, Jimmy Choo Illicit, Angel, any Burberry perfume ever made i mean ANYTHING they've ever done I love to even buy my man only Burberry colognes. lol. So it's....quote unquote, Boring. Very Unique. Too mature. Too immature. Perfumey. Creamy gourmand. Perfect for autumn. Saving it for summer. Too strong. A skin scent. No scent trail. Compliments on scent trail from strangers and coworkers scent trail smells good. Men reviewing it as a like and bf liking it. Bf hating it. Go to bed scent. Go on a date scent. Tropical. Winter in front of a fireplace. Cheap. "Trophy wife that hasn't let it go to her head"(LOL). Lol what is it guys?! Seems like it's really one of those perfumes that truly does vibe with your own skin. I guess I can rest assured I'm right up my alley though because I already have and love or want all the perfumes mentioned except Burberry Brit. She's too young for me, but then again she's Burberry and I do love Burberry everything so I'd probably come around to her after a rough wooing. Lol I forgot I just ordered the cutest pink Michael Kors purse a few days ago to match her with too!!! Awww I'll update when I get it but when I hear, "perfumey", "wifey", or anything to do with "Guerlain" my radar goes off the chart. I love Black Opium and any one of the 800 La Petitie Robe Noirs (Preferably Black Perfecto edt Florale) so if the makers of this have anything to do with either of those, Im keeping it FOREVER. But will update in 2 to 4 days shipping time. Lol

I have a sample and it is simple but delicious. A vacation-y milky floral mall perfume.

Mimosas X Chanel Allure. Summertime suntan lotion vibes. I love it!!
