Customer Reviews of Covet by Sarah Jessica Parker for Women - 1.7 Ounce EDP Spray
Customer Review: Not your typical "celebrity fragrance"
Summary: 5 Stars
Both of SJP's scents are simply fabulous. I loved Lovely so much I wanted to try Covet. At first (while still wet) it seems a bit too "green" and nice but nothing spectacular. Then after 2-3 minutes the dry down is fabulously warm and intriguing. Then as the dry down continues it only gets better. The ultimate scent is a warm woody, slightly musky (I mean expensive - french perfume - quality musk) fragrance with hints of chocolate, lemony mint (ever so slight) and a sweet woodsiness that just completes the scent. These subtle scents are mingled together so nicely that none jump out at you but rather coexist quitely together to make a unique combination of fragrances that work together so nicely. You won't be sorry. This is a romantic fragrance men will love to smell in a woman's hair and on her neck while nuzzling!!! . It is not sweet and flowery and not overtly musky. Just fabulous. I also love SJP's Lovely . I usually don't like celebrity frangrances as they are not complex enough. These two are!!! They are just as wonderful as any fragrances done by designers or perfume houses!! You won't be sorry!!!! *Covet traps you in a hypnotic bouquet of crushed geranium leaves, fresh sicilian lemon, and french lavender laced with decadent chocolate, magnolia, and honeysuckle. sensuous musk, exotic woods, and smoldering amber leave an intoxicating afterglow.*Customer Review: Good, but not full-size worthy to me
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a well done floral with a musky and interesting base. I kept thinking I had smelled this perfume before then it hit me. Am I the only one who thought that this smells EXACTLY like the long discontinued Avon's Little Black Dress??
Covet, created with fragrance consultant Ann Gottlieb and Firmenich's Frank Volkl, has top notes of wet greens, geranium leaves, Sicilian lemon, lavender and chocolate; a heart of honeysuckle, magnolia and muget, and a drydown of musk, vetiver, bois de cashmere, teakwood and amber. Little Black Dress notes were almost exact- bois de cashmere, musk, honeysuckle, apricot blossom, gardenia, magnolia, sandalwood and milkwood accord and cyclamen leaves. Interesting. I liked Little Black Dress and always got compliments and I'm sure I will with Covet too.
This is a fragrance that you can wear most anywhere in my opinion. The lasting power was moderate, only around 3-4 hours on my skin. Very nice indeed, but not bottleworthy to me.
Customer Review: Well done, but not bottleworthy for me

Customer Review: Appropriate name for the perfume!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Covet" from the Sarah Jessica Parker line is appropriately named - because once you get a whiff of this lovely scent, you will (like me) covet a bottle of this for your very own! The notes are described as Geranium leaves, Lemon, Honeysuckle, Chocolate, Lavender, Lemon, Amber, Musk, Teakwood and although it is described as a "strong" scent, I found it to be not overpowering - I presume the "strong" comes from the fact that customers have found that it WILL last you ALL DAY LONG (16 hours is what is listed on the site I checked - I suppose that is a average based on customer input). The various notes listed sound like they would make a really weird mish-mash, but trust me - they turn out very nice together. Give it a try - you'll covet some for yourself too!Customer Review: not my style
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this because I wanted to see what it smelled like and it was a darn good price. Granted, even though it is not necessarily my style, it is quite a bit better than most perfumes found on drugstore counters and a fair number of those at perfume counters too. It is a bit too floral for me. It doesn't seem floral in the classic sense, like a perfume like Joy, but it does have some floral elements. It also has a touch of something mildly spicy- maybe carnation? It has a sweetness at the same time, but not overly so. Floral scents usually don't smell very good on me, but I can see this smelling amazing on someone who maybe wants an atypical floral with a touch of spice.
