Close

Lovely fragrance : musky, milky and fresh. To me vanilla is not enough intensive, it's like a fresh Noa without coffee notes. It reminds me of a baby soap. Good lasting power.

I got a small sample of this and it kind of grew on me. First time I tried it I thought it smelled like a cleaning product. But then I tried it again on a different day and I liked it, as I wore it I smelt the almond and salty notes. It does smell clean but I don't think it's fresh. It really stays very close to the skin and has little projection but I could see myself wearing this on days I don't want to wear anything more remarkable. It doesn't seem to offend my nose or give me any allergies which is kind of rare.. On the down side the lasting power is so week on me! Maybe if I spray it on my clothes and hair it might linger for a little longer... All in all, I might be getting this in the future!

I am so obsessed with this perfume that I joined this website just to give it a good review. Weird, right? It's Gap, you can buy it at a mall, and it doesn't have a flashy bottle or an exciting celebrity campaign behind it. Yet since I first discovered Close three years ago, I've never looked for another scent. I think part of Close's appeal to me is its subtlety. I've always been extremely put off by the strong "chemical" scents in high end designer perfumes, and bold florals are nice on other people, but they give me headaches after extended wear. Close fits me like a glove. I spray some on my wrists, shirt, and hair in the morning and it still lingers when I go to bed. I wear it every day, and it feels to me like the way that I should smell naturally, rather than something overpowering and artificial. It's become something that my friends recognize me by since it always stays really well on jackets and scarves and pillows. It's subtle, which almost makes it more intimate. Guys love it too... In fact, I can name three different guys who commented on how good I smelled after romantic entanglements... in all three cases, I was wearing Close. Basically, I'm crazy about this perfume. If they ever discontinue it, I will probably cry. It is sweet and warm without being syrupy, light and fresh with good staying power, and the musk is gentle and soft. It smells like curling up by a fire in a comfy sweater with a gentle ocean breeze coming from the window. And all things equally poetic and artistic. Try it out!

Almondy, sweet, I don't get any freshness. On me it's heavy, sensual, musky and sweet.

CLOSE is my signature fragrance now! I saw it in its cute little $5 bottle and bought it on the spot. It smells so warm and feminine...after wearing Eternity, Pleasures, Obsession, and Romance, I was looking for something less "heavy" but yet long-lasting...THIS IS IT! It smells warm, almost like when you take a favorite sweater from the dryer and wrap it around you...my husband loves it, and others do draw near "close" to smell its rich yet subtle fragrance! It lasts all day without overpowering others in a room, and it doesn't smell like an insecticide, like many current fragrances do! And I like that it's not a "designer" or "celebrity" fragrance...it just reminds me of warm coffee with caramel or vanilla stirred in, or that warm sweater from fresh laundry. (By the way, I wouldn't even know it has musk in it!) Thanks to GAP for making such a wonderfully wearable fragrance! Now if only I could layer it with a body creme or lotion in "Close"...:-)
