My mom LOVES gap heaven. Before that, she loved loves baby soft jasmine musk. Since that went years ago, she had been on the heaven train for a very long time. To fully understand how much my mom loves this you must first understand that. It is her signature scent and she has been wearing it since it came out. She gets asked CONSTANTLY from men and women alike from every age what she is wearing. She has been chased down an aisle in the grocery store because someone wanted to know what she was wearing. Wish I was exaggerating about that one because I'm slightly jealous she found her signature and gets so many compliments lol, but I'm not. The compliments pour in on a near daily basis. I have smelled it on other people,
including myself, and it just smells generic and cheap, but on my mom... it just works. I'm 30 and I don't remember her smelling like anything else. Ever. Sadly for her, it was discontinued... and the great perfume hunt began. I stumbled across this company in the midst of trying to find a dupe for her, THANK GOD. Was looking for jasmine oil...I was starting to get desperate. Can't tell you how many jasmine/musk perfumes/oils she has rejected from every single price range. She once came home from CVS with a bottle of body spray that she bought simply because it said it was white musk. In her head, it was musk, she likes musk, it had to work... never again. Not all musk is created equal. A valuable lesson learned. Smelled like a 13 year old boy doused in cheap body spray for a week. Wasn't pretty. She constantly talks about loving jasmine and white musk. So, naturally, I got her both of those from here. She did love them. On a hunch though, I got her this as well. I noticed it had the similar notes to heaven. So happy I followed that hunch!! This has an extra little something to it compared to the straight jasmine and white musk. Finally, we had success lol. I seriously wanted to do a happy dance when I smelled this. I knew it would work for her. It's not a dupe, but it's in the same family, like heaven's more natural sister. My mom has been buying any gap heaven she finds in bulk, she will never give it up, but for the first time in 30 years, her scent has changed. She now wears the jasmine, and/or white musk, or this and white musk under the heaven. Though, sometimes, just this under heaven. However, I have even caught her without any heaven on at all. Just this. Craziness!! We even figured out how to make a room spray out of it. Hair scent. Body mist. It's a pretty versatile product. My dad also can't enough of her in it. For her to change her scent despite having access to her beloved heaven is, quite frankly, unheard of. But that's how much she loves this. She still smells like herself, but now with an underlying layer of fresh flowers and clean skin. I know this says unisex, but I think it leans more feminine. Not super light, you smell the strong flowers, but not headache inducing, cloying heavy either or a 1950s old perfume kind of heavy. Just strong flowers that are well blended and mixed with something to give the overall effect of very floral clean without leaning towards soap. I know this was a long story, but to fully understand why this is great, you had to know the story. Any woman out there with a signature scent will understand the significance of my mom incorporating this into her routine.
Thanks for bearing with me, I apologize for the length, but I hope this helps. If it doesn't, than I hope it at least kept you a little entertained 😆
Thank you SA for helping to put an end to the great dupe hunt.
