This is delightful, I like the bright passion fruit notes, but it stops smelling like anything in less than an hour. It doesn't last.

I love most RJ scents. The passionfruit smells like BO.

I was scared when I read these reviews AFTER I had already chosen it and forgotten about it. Then it sent and it was too late to cancel. But honestly don’t be scared. I’m even one of those people who thinks synthetic mango flavored stuff smells strongly of cat piss and this is not like that. It’s a faint smell of something reminiscent because of the sour note of passion fruit. That’s just the opening note and it doesn’t linger unless you’re spraying it on your clothes. On your skin that dissipates quickly and as it’s drying down, I think that’s where people get the BO scent, but to me it smelled like pickles kind of. lol The good news is that, on your skin, that disappears as well once it’s dry. The bad part is that you’re not left with much but an unfamiliar (to me) sugary sweet smell which I’m guessing is the meringue note. Unfortunately I didn’t get much lime or anything beyond the passion fruit and meringue scents. I layered it with Miami shake because that’s what I got last time and it smelled like grape candy to me. So… this does layer really well. It’s just not strong enough to be a stand alone fragrance imo. And, most importantly, it is NOT a B.O. and cat piss scent either. Thankfully. lol If you like tropical fruit scents or tropical fruit synthetic flavors, like mango and passion fruit flavored candy, I think you would love this. Otherwise, I’d skip it. Edit: I figured out the BO thing people mentioned. If you get this on your clothing and it settles in… that passion fruit smell is very strong and as the day goes on, if you think those tropical flavored candies smell like cat piss… this is probably going to register as BO to you when you get a whiff of it later in the day. I don’t think all people experience those smells that way though. Maybe it’s genetic like the soapy cilantro. Which I also experience. lol

This perfume strikes a weird quantum state for me. I don't know how else to describe it. I can smell the passionfruit, and I love it. It also can smell kinda like cat pee, and I don't like it. I can see why people love this and why people hate this. Gave it a two star because the unpleasantness slightly outweighs the pleasantness for me.

Definitely not a fan of this. Something just smells....off. Like the passionfruit went bad.
