Con; (In my opinion) it smells cheap

Tonight while roaming through the mall in search of something new, fragrance-wise, I tried Baby Phat’s newest fragrance, EDP “Golden Goddess” on both arms and wrists. At first smell I wasn’t sure *what* to think of it. It smelled kind of strong and musky during the dry down.

Once it had been on a while I noticed a flat, slightly sweet smell that lingered. And after some time all I smelled was what reminded me of cheap champagne. That would be the best way I could describe how it lingered on me. The bottle is pretty but to me that’s about it for appeal, the presentation. The fragrance itself fell flat for me and on me.

This fragrance is noted as being “a mixture of bubbling champagne and an intoxicating floral boquet.” Nothing about this EDP intoxicated me, however. As I always say, though, to each their own! From what I’ve read, many people absolutely love this perfume, and in favor of those who DO prefer “golden goddess”, I can say that I did *not* notice the fragrance wearing down and disappearing after hours, as I’ve read many others complain about. I sprayed a little on hours ago at the mall, and I can still smell it on me as I am sitting here typing this now. In my opinion, it seems to have lasting power.

All I smell, though, is champagne. And not in a good way for me, either… My boyfriend also wasn’t particular to it. Though he smelled the original pink Baby Phat EDP on a card and liked that scent much better. I thought it was Ok, though can’t have a real opoinion of the original Baby Phat perfume unless or until I’ve worn it for myself, really.

1-10 rating (1 bad, 10 outstanding) packaging; 10, performance; 1 (I’ll give it some credit for it’s staying power, which I hadn’t been expecting)
