Born Lovely

Born Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is a sweet floral from 2018, in which the gourmand and floral sides are equally strong and most people also notice a woody base. Green and citrus touches appear for about a third.

Mandarin and blackcurrant start it off juicy and tart, with currant leaf and bud adding a sharp, green freshness. The heart is a soft bouquet of honeysuckle, peony and orange blossom, nectar-sweet and gently fresh. Caramel then brings a warm, sugary note that makes the drydown feel cosy, and cedar and patchouli give it a dry, earthy wood structure so it does not turn into pure confection.

This is a friendly, approachable scent that suits daytime wear and casual plans, with enough warmth for autumn and enough fruit and flowers for spring. It suits someone who likes fruity florals with a soft caramel sweetness.
