With the first spray I thought: ”Nice… a sheer and delicate green.” In about five minutes, though, the sheerness and subtlety had morphed into an aggressive full-blown neon-GREEN! of a scent that, while not disagreeable, was almost overpowering – those “wet greens” and geraniums were really doing their thing. It was a pleasant uber electric green but it seemed more of a caricature than a serious portrayal of the concept. I couldn’t identify the chocolate, but it could have been the chocolate that was forming some kind of alien bonding with the green to give birth to that accord. The green began losing its drama and tamed down to a dull but pleasant green – probably because of the influence of the lavender, and there it stayed until the middle florals began to exert themselves. The middle is a texturized floral with the lily of the valley tinged with green. Nice, not exciting, and a little too soft, but a very comfortable femine wear for the remainder of the heart notes. The dry down – a let down… Musk and amber in an uninspired but long-lasting accord.

I tend to like Covet. It does some interesting things and has nice a charming characteristic or two, but in the final consideration, it doesn’t do enough for a thumb’s up.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Really have to be in a certain mood to wear Covet. Occasionally it smells clean and fresh to me, but at other times the white florals and lavender are just too much and bother my sinuses. Be careful not to over-apply or it can smell like cleaning products!

At least it's nice to see a mainstream release that's a departure from yet another fruity floral. I give SJP a lot of credit for trying to create distinctive and classy perfumes. Lovely is wonderful.

i tried this today and the topnotes smell very much like Puredistance, that super expensive frag where 17.5ml alone cost over $200. since i'm not a fan of Puredistance, i'm not a fan of Covet either.

nicely done sjp!
a fantastic irresistable non offensive concoction for the summer.
a light lemony, lavender, chocolately juice that really works well with my skin. reminds me a lot of eclat d'arpege and muglers cologne.
the price on this cant be beat either--3.4 perfume for 20$ at ebay!!

A mellow, pleasant, inoffensive sweet green floral. I do get some lavender on top, some citrus and the green may remotely be mint - but they are all an abstract and sugared interpretations of the real thing. It dries down to a canned musk.
A plasticky note accompanies the entire lifespan of the scent, which I can sometimes appreciate and which really irritates me on other days.

I received this one as a gift, and would most likely not have bought it for myself. As it is, I'll end up wearing it, but it won't be my top choice.

I love the lavender top-note. It reminds me of some bath crystals my gran used to keep in her bathroom.
Chocolate/amber drydown is sufficiently interesting to make it my favourite celebrity fragrance so far.
