For the sake of the vessel...

"Covet" seems to be on the verge of discontinuation, I recently grabbed a bottle of it at a very low price (twice reduced!) and rejoiced because I had always wanted the pretty vessel for my collection. And the flacon is the only asset this fragrance has to offer to me. After a promising start of chocolate mixed with lavender and lemon (quite extraordinary) "Covet" turns into a chemical nightmare on my skin. It morphs into a harsh, synthetic woody mess, headache-inducing. Unwearable and unbearable. Nevertheless, the bottle looks cute.

Coveting A Quirky Woodsy Perfume Of Chocolate Lemon Merinque

When I first acquired Covet, I tried it a few times, and back on my perfume shelf it went. It wasn't agreeing with me. I pulled it out again to revisit it out of curiosity to see what would happen on this try. Yes, there's Sicilian Lemon. Yes, there's chocolate. If there's such a delicacy as a chocolate lemon meringue pie that has a high quality furniture oil drizzled over it, then that's what I'm smelling. But that's not all. Just as I'm thinking this is a gourmand, suddenly, I'm in a flower tent, a huge display of award-winning florals, and as I pass all of the beautiful displays, I inhale deeply to appreciate the richness of the beauty of each flower. But remnants of the chocolate merinque pie are still with me, alternating equally. Not fighting somehow, because these are two separate, distinct notes. And somehow they balance nicely, although heavily. The vetiver is persistent in its dark woods, along with the muskiness of the cashmere wood, while the lavender leaves a faint trail. This is a quirky perfume.
Covet, if sprayed sparingly, will not be overbearing to those around you. It also lasts for hours until washed off.
I found a distinct similarity to my Jean Nate vintage perfume. Revisiting Covet, I knew the scent was familiar to me. I sprayed my vintage Nate on one arm and Covet on the the other and spent the day comparing them. Almost identical, except the Nate perfume gave out sooner.
I was also reminded of Michel Germain's Tattoo. I'd say it's the simplistic lime and caramel in Tattoo that brought me back to Covet, but that's where the similarity ended.
Why the bottle top is made of cheesy plastic when the commercial was made to look so classy is beyond me. Otherwise, a chunky little bottle to hold, easy to spray.
A heavier perfume than one would expect, with notes that circle deeply. Beautiful to wear in the cooler weather, at night, for special occasions.

Loved it ... before the head-aches started.

This is such a difficult fragrance to categorize ... just when you think you can identify the notes (vanilla, amber, a floral here or there, chocolate), it changes. I find is so intriguing, that I just love it. And the price ... it's to die for.

Full bottle worthy!

For me, this is anything but a green or a floral. And, it's not appropriate for the Summer for me ... it's a three-season fragrance - Fall, Winter, Spring.
Then, one day staring at the bottle, it hit me. If you could bottle a green cabochon amber, this is what it would smell like.

Covet is a complex fragrance that is extraordinarily difficult to categorize and is like nothing else I've ever tried. Ignore the nay-sayers. Try it before it becomes hard to find.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW : There is something about Covet that is HEADACHE-INDUCING. I wish I knew what it was ... I suspect the lily of the valley and the honeysuckle. Had to let the bottle go ...

lovely surprise

I was interested in trying this when it was on sale for a very low price. So I bought a bottle blindly (and we all know that can either end up great or very awful); and I surprisingly like it a lot. I think it's a nice change from the usual sweet and gourmand perfumes that I usually buy.

The opening is all herbs, lemons, and dry grass. Then the drydown becomes a bit powdery and sweeter with the chocolate and lavender.

I can understand why people may not like this, given the polarizing notes (sweet/herbal/wood/spicy). But for me, it's wonderful combination.

a chubby gem

I don’t buy celebrity fragrances since I do not believe in them. I have checked more than a lot of them out and they keep disappointing me. But there is always an exception.
Sarah Jessica Parker has released 9 fragrances of which I have two, Covet and Lovely, and they are both delicate and unique. The one I fell in love with was Covet. I remember trying it in a border shop and I really found it so strange, yet intriguing and alluring that I bought it straight away. I have never regretted this buy even though everyone else seems to hate the scent. Therefore I was so happy to read all the positive and acknowledging reviews in this forum and wanted to add mine.
Covet starts out like a bomb, an explosion of lavender and lemon. It took me some time to get used to this and now I spray it on half an hour before leaving the house. One single whiff does the trick, since this is a heavy and insisting perfume. The heart notes on my skin are chocolate and lily-of-the-valley, very sweet but a marvelous sweetness that goes on forever (read: more than 8 hours). Dry-down is mostly honey and amber, though I know that this scent is not easy to take apart.
The bottle… what can I say? In my opinion it is a gem. The combination of gold and the colours, first and foremost, is really daring and in-your-face. The colour on the bottle reminds me a lot of the one on Absynthe by Christian Lacroix, but Covet is more greenish. The shape, a bit chubby and no edges, and the top, shaped like a flower, are wonderful together. The flacon feels so nice in your hand.
I have heard a horrible rumour telling that it has been discontinued… Please let it not be true!
