Sarah Jessica Parker Perfumes for Women
Lavender. And an apple martini. Probably not what you think of when choosing a perfume from a famous actress. But that’s what you get with Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely Eau de Parfum, alongside orchid, patchouli and musk.
SJP NYC takes a different direction, combining strawberry, mandarin and flowers with a rum accord. Born Lovely features peony and orange blossom. Then there’s Stash, with woods, spices and incense.
Sarah Jessica Parker has released quite different fragrances over the years. Some are soft and floral. Others pair fruit with musk or take a woody, aromatic approach. Shop Sarah Jessica Parker perfumes at ScentRepublic South Africa. Compare fragrance notes, concentrations, bottle sizes and prices.
What You Might Not Expect From a Sarah Jessica Parker Perfume
Lovely could have been a straightforward sweet, fruity celebrity fragrance. Instead, it brought lavender together with an apple martini accord, patchouli and musk.
You might know lavender from aromatic perfumes, aftershave or a scented bag hanging in a cupboard. In Lovely, it forms part of a floral, woody and musky composition.
Perfumers Laurent Le Guernec and Clément Gavarry created Lovely, with Sarah Jessica Parker involved in its development. Other fragrances followed, but Lovely remains closely associated with her name.
Lovely: Lavender, Apple Martini and Musk
Lovely Eau de Parfum opens with mandarin, bergamot, rosewood, lavender and an apple martini accord. An apple martini accord is a scent effect inspired by the drink. It doesn’t mean a cocktail has been added to the bottle.
Orchid, narcissus and patchouli follow. Patchouli brings an earthy, woody character, while narcissus adds a green floral aspect. Cedarwood, white amber and musk form the base.
There are flowers here, but the woods and musk matter too. If that combination appeals to you, Lovely is a useful starting point for exploring the range.
SJP NYC: Strawberry Takes the Lead
SJP NYC draws on the New York setting associated with Sarah Jessica Parker and her Sex and the City character, Carrie Bradshaw.
Strawberry features in the opening alongside mandarin and osmanthus. Honeysuckle, gardenia, mimosa and rose follow, with vanilla, sandalwood, musk and rum underneath.
Lovely and SJP NYC both feature mandarin, but the surrounding notes take them in different directions. Lovely combines lavender with earthy and musky notes. SJP NYC brings strawberry, flowers and vanilla into the picture.
When shopping, check whether the SJP NYC listing is for an Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum.
Born Lovely: Another Floral Direction
Born Lovely Eau de Parfum shares part of its name with Lovely, but don’t assume it will smell the same. Peony and orange blossom are notes to pay attention to, alongside patchouli.
If you’re comparing it with the original, consider which flowers you prefer. Lovely features lavender, orchid and narcissus, while Born Lovely offers a different floral combination.
There are also fragrances called Lovely Noir and Lovely Rouge. Read their individual descriptions rather than treating them as replacements for the original.
Covet: Lemon, Lavender and Dark Chocolate
Released in 2007, Covet brings together notes you might not expect to find in one perfume.
Lemon, lavender and dark chocolate.
The chocolate is a fragrance note, rather than a piece of chocolate in the bottle. Alongside lemon, lavender and geranium, it becomes part of a more complicated composition than a simple sweet gourmand.
Honeysuckle, magnolia and lily of the valley add flowers. Musk, vetiver, teakwood and amber form the base.
If the chocolate note catches your attention, look at the rest of the fragrance too. There are plenty of floral, green and woody elements to consider. Covet is an older release, so check current availability and bottle sizes.
Stash SJP: Woods and Aromatics
Stash, released in 2016, takes a woody, aromatic direction. Spices, incense and vetiver contribute to its character. It offers something different if you’ve been browsing the sweeter or more floral fragrances in the collection.
If woods and aromatics are what you usually enjoy, take a closer look at Stash SJP. As with other older releases, availability may vary.
