REVIEWS
Fragrantica - Love it and everything everyone says down below is correct. Creamy nutty goodness! Love pistachio and almonds in fragrance! Not much more to say....
8/10
Fragrantica - Opens with a beautiful gourmand vanilla, and dries down to delicious fruity, buttery and nutty notes. The notes are all well balanced, and overall this is a young and uplifting scent. Can't stop smelling it - even thought this is not the type of scent I am looking for to buy. The patchouli, pear and white florals bring some lightness and sophistication at dry-down, with the vanilla always there. Gourmands lovers, give it a try,
Fragrantica - Oh, I love a perfume that you can softly smell on yourself all day. And this GON Shine doesn't disappoint. It has a wonderful silage that is there from morning 'til days end. It opens with a noticeable pineapple note, but it's the heavenly Orange Blossom that wafts in the air through the day, with a subtle almond to the side. I had read that Elie Saab is being celebrated for it's white floral creations, and I can't wait to test more from this House. And the bottle is a stunner! Out of my 60 bottles, this is one of the prettiest. An enthusiastic Love for me.
Fragrantica - This is a gourmand lover's dream! Starts off with sugary pineapple along with the nuttiness and soft, powdery, delicately sweet florals. As I wear it, the scent grows ever sweeter. The pineapple "bakes" down into the nuttiness and vanilla and becomes gooey and caramelized. The florals begin to subside, leaving behind just traces of softness. After a few hours, the result is (as other reviewers have said) a super yummy, ooey gooey pineapple upside cake! The lingering softness of the florals mixed with the overall warmth of the fragrance give the impression of being wrapped in a soft, cozy sweater.
Fragrantica - This Girl of Now line has to be one of the most delicious perfume lines I have ever smelled in my life. But again, I am a huge almond fan and nutty perfumes DRIVE ME CRAZYYYY IN LOVE!
Fragrantica - I decided to try Girl of Now Shine this morning because it just felt like the right moment. Immediately, I really liked it! I could smell the pineapple, the pistachio, mandarin, and a bit of the floral notes as well. But, the pineapple note was really the star! It wasn't super juicy and fresh like how I usually like pineapple, I definitely could smell the "cake" or gourmand aspect of this fragrance, but surprisingly it wasn't heavy or cloying at all! Don't get me wrong, this isn't a freshie or anything, because the pistachio and almond really do make GON Shine smell decadent, but the other notes balance it out. Mostly the pear, mandarin, and florals. The almond note wasn't as scary as I thought, it's not super super strong, but it does work here.
Fragrantica - this scent is amazing!! When you spray it you initially get a pear and synthetic pineapple which I don't mind. When you let the scent settle on your skin there's a slight moment of salty goodness from the pistachio. The gourmand dry down smells like a delicious almond cake and it is amazing.
