Does anyone else remember the Jersey Shore explosion? When all you seen in magazines and tv were the idiot Jersey Shore cast? Okay okay I guess idiot is a harsh term...Vinny was pretty smart...ish. Anyway, the star of the cast is debatable among fans. Some say The Situation was the star, some say Snooki. Imo, Snooki did a lot after the show and sort of reinvented herself. I give her props for the hard work she did on her body. And for awhile she was doing all sorts of things. On top of the show and the spinoff, JWoww and Snooki, the pint sized star released a fragrance....
Snooki's basenotes include lychee, kiwi, jasmine, driftwood....but the main smells are vanilla cupcake and sugared musk. This fragrance is just as in your face as Snooki herself. It's probably the strongest scent I have next to Pink Friday Deluxe. I rarely wear this unless I want to attracted attention. I mean, I always do, however this one isn't pleasant attention.
The scent stays close to the skin. It's very spicy! That's the best I can describe it as. It's got the vanilla and musk smell than that spicy kick. It takes awhile before it settles on the skin. I DO NOT recommend "blind buying" this fragrance. I suggest finding a way to test it first. I've seen people describe it as fruity but I do not agree. I don't in the slightest smell fruit. And when you look at the basenotes, there aren't many fruites in it. Maybe that's why.
The bottle is probably just as wild as the scent. It's cheetah print (uh duh!) in hot pinks and violet. There is a silver lock along with a "diamond" studed heart. I can't say it's fancy. I mean it's grown on me for sure. But there's a little too much going on. I don't mind cheetah print, I don't mind diamonds. But when there are so many colors and shapes, it's distracting. But that is Snooki's style so it's fitting.
This set not came with a lotion. It's in a plain hot pink tube with silver lettering. It's actually very easy on the eyes compared to the bottle. I think this lotion is 100% full. Much like my fragrance.
The set also came with a small charm bracelet which I misplaced. Overall...this set doesn't rank high. The fragrance is a 4/10, it's so spicy that I can't stomach to wear it. The bottle is give a 5/10, very creative but tacky. However it is Snooki's namesake scent. So stylizing the package to her personality is a brilliant idea. So I can't knock her for that. The price was on sale at $21.00 I do recall. Looking back, I don't regret buying it because it's just collection builder for me. But it's a waste that I don't even wear it.
Like I said, I don't suggest blind buying this. Blind buying is where you purchase without testing the product. Maybe an Internet buy or from a shop without testers. You really have to have a spunky personality to wear this. Not saying I'm not spunky, I just don't care for musky/woodsy and dessert scents.
In closing...the complete set gets a 5/10. I don't hate it, I don't love it. I imagine this fragrance and lotion will most likely be full for a good long time.
