  |  My grandmother used to wear it - and I'm afraid this is where this perfume belongs - in the past. I don't think it has weathered well and now sits rather uncomfortably next to the modern array of scents on offer.Blue grass is almost suffocatingly powdery and aldehydic. It's also floral and herbal, but those qualities are drowned out. There's a story that Arden used to spray this on her beloved horses and that does sound rather believable. Whoever said this smells like Shalimar hasn't tried this, or Shalimar. The two scents are not even slightly alike. 03 August 2008 |
 | This was my mother's favorite as a teen. She says she used to finish detassling corn in the Iowa fields, take a shower and spritz herself and nothing smelled as wonderful. I'm not sure how truly wonderful it is but it IS a nice 50's midwestern farm girl kind of fragrance. Actually, the jasmine is quite overpowering in the beginning and a little strong, but the drydown is nice and soft. There is definitely something like sweet grass about it and that is not at all bad, but personally I prefer the sweet grassiness of Dior's Dune. Still, it's nice to have a bottle of history around. 04 July 2008 |
  | Sorry, but meh. I had been built up to expect a good classic. Smells like a "just acceptable" run-of-the-mill everyday chores-around-the home and going-to-do-the-groceries scent. Just very "bleh"... Does remind me feintly of L'air du Temps, and the largely white floral heart dominates too loudly and too proudly. This perfume would be a greatd deal better, had it been more oportunely balanced. 05 December 2007 |

|  I have to say I love this on others, on me it just doesn't smell like anything at all...seems to sink into my skin or just float away within minutes. My best friend wears it all of the time and I can tell when she is around because I can smell her coming??? Go figure??? I do think that on average, women like Blue Grass (at least the ones who still remember it :))05 June 2007 |

| This smell is from the natural spray perfume mist, white horse enamel bottle. Opens with a minty lightly herbal lavender with heady jasmine tuberose combo. The jasmine tuberose is joined by lemony rose. Only later in the drydown do I smell orange along with mildly fatty, sweetish sandalwood. The lavender is present throughout, although by the end it has more softness like hay. A light floral with herb tea like notes. 29 December 2006 |

| Classic Thirties scent -- reminds me of my grandmother's dressing table. Like Miss Dior and L'air du Temps, this inexpensive fragrance is among the "must-haves" for any young woman who wants her first "grown up" fragrances. 10 October 2006 |
