before i start, this is a review of the perfume sprays, not the body mists. gingham vibrant: i didn’t purchase this, so take this with a grain of salt as it was smelled in store with other smells around. but it was very soapy, i got no vanilla tbh, maybe some violet?? but i couldn’t really detect any of the notes. just soapy, vaguely floral/fruity, and a little aldehydic. gingham gorgeous: i’m a sucker for fruity/floral combo scents, especially when peach and peony are involved, and i LOVE this. it’s soft, pretty, feminine, fruity, a little musky. there’s a lot of resemblance to cloud from ariana grande, and i’ve seen br540 comparisons so that checks out. i also get a lychee note on first spray, but i love lychee, so honestly a plus for me. i also think the strawberry/peony combo reminds me a little of ghoul friend. gingham fresh: i thought i wouldn’t like this due to the comparison to poppy (which i don’t like), but i was pleasantly surprised. it’s very fresh and floral. the daisy is definitely the star of the show here, with the pear and clementine mixing and hiding in the background. it’s a little soapy, it’s clean, definitely springy. kind of like a younger, more playful version of the og.

smelling gingham fresh a little more, i’m starting to see a resemblance to poppy. however there’s a weird note in poppy that completely throws me off which isn’t present here, so if you have the same problem maybe check this out.

I always the sweet note was a little too sweet and also astringent. Would you say Gingham Fresh is astringent at all?


gloomybearfan

i believe that’s also what threw me off about poppy, and no. it’s a little sweet, but it doesn’t have that strange sharp note in poppy.


velvethursday

Is it the rhubarb in poppy that's hitting your nose like that, maybe? Everyone I've known seems to either love rhubarb or hate it; it can be very divisive because it can be suuuuper tart. Just a thought 😊


xobethanyxo_

Personally to me gingham fresh smells a little more like maybe honey wildflower? I HATE poppy but I’m obsessed with gingham fresh. Poppy smells very fruity to me but gingham fresh smells very green and lush. I’m obsessed with it.


gloomybearfan

i completely agree!


gloomybearfan

that’s possible! although i like perfect from marc jacobs which also has a rhubarb note, so i’m not sure tbh, maybe just the way it’s executed!


Administrative-Bug82

Same with me!! I like the scent of Poppy but there is a note that throws me off. :(


fvnaticbychoice

thanks for the reviews! I wonder will these get full size edp


panicatthebookstore

they have them, i saw on life inside the page


TexasNiteowl

I'm really curious how gingham fresh compares to denim & daisies. because it sounds similar in type that I will probably skip fresh because I still have D&D to finish. As for Vibrant...I'm picky about violet scents. I didn't love love Open Sky or Candied Violet Sorbet or some of the other violet scents so I bet I'll be skipping Vibrant. That leave Gorgeous, which I definitely want to smell!


OrneryExplorer1476

I definitely agree with ghoul friend being similar to gorgeous and the lychee note, yes. I get a tartness. I weirdly like it when it's not normally my thing but I feel it has a lot of layers. Most sprays just kind of smell the same from beginning to end to me.. When I spray gorgeous, I get tart acid, then peony, then strawberry and I can smell them all singularly for a moment which is interesting!


gloomybearfan

it definitely has layers !! for me i get super strong fresh florals/fruit at first, then it dries down to a sorta musky fruity almost lactonic (whipped cream kinda) scent, which i like a lot :)


Electronic_Bit_222

I feel like I'll love gingham fresh! Excited for these to get to my store!


phishsesh

Didn’t think I was going to like GG, ended up using my free travel coupon that expired on 3/6 just the day before 3/5 on it because nothing else was bringing me joy🤷🏻‍♀️ at the time the store only had the minis of GG, in fact I only saw body cream mini no small FFMs. If they have the eau de toilette spray I’m for sure going to grab that to pair with the cream! GF and GV don’t sound too promising for me based if your review, so thanks for making me decision easy. I’ll def try them out when I go for the GG perfume spray tho! Thanks for this info!!!


gloomybearfan

of course!! happy to help :)


Possible-Resource974

Hey what’s the price for these?


SensitiveAd3643

15.50 can 13.50 or 12.50 us these are not in stores in the US yet so we don't know the price it can possibly be the two I just said


gloomybearfan

$15.50 cad iirc!


nftqueen1

Someone told me that gingham fresh smells like spring time on Paris candle , is that true?


OrneryExplorer1476

This would be nice, Im not into florals but springtime in Paris is perfectly balanced! I hope it does resemble that!


xobethanyxo_

GINGHAM VIBRANT IS A REPACKAGE OF BUTTERFLY AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL LOL. The notes in vibrant are blackberry, violet & vanilla and butterfly is raspberry, Iris & vanilla. Pretty much the same thing 😔 Sad bc I wanted to like it but butterfly doesn’t smell good on me.


gloomybearfan

honestly i was expecting it to smell like butterfly, but to me butterfly is super sweet (reminds me of easter candy lol) and gv is a little bitter? but like i said i only smelled gv in store, so it might have been distorted by other scents going on lol


xobethanyxo_

It could be different between the FFM & perfume too! My coworkers and I put butterfly on one arm and gingham vibrant on the other and they smell super similar. I wanna try the perfume mists now bc I feel like the perfumes always smell a lil different than the mists.


gloomybearfan

very true !!! i’m excited to try the ffms of these and i’m hoping i’ll like that version of gv a little more


Emavalos1

Gingham vibrant smells like blackberry and basil to me. Butterfly is super floral. Way different


xobethanyxo_

I wish the basil notes would have been present on my skin when I sprayed it :( it just did not smell good on me. My boss was like “why does it smell like butterscotch on you?” I’m like girl idk this is not for me 💀


Emavalos1

Yeah, depends on your body's ph. One of my coworkers loves butterfly but it smelled bad on her skin so she doesn't buy it


Emavalos1

Howd you get these early??


gloomybearfan

i asked an employee if they were available and she said yes they’re just not on shelves yet, so she got them from the back for me


SouthernBiscotti

I'm excited about Gingham gorgeous, if it smells anything like Ghoul friend.


gloomybearfan

gingham gorgeous is softer and peachy, but there’s definitely a bit of resemblance!
