My Disappointing Experience with Pepe Jeans For Her Perfume
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've got a bunch of perfume bottles for different occasions and moods, but Pepe Jeans For Her just didn't cut it. I was drawn in by the unique bottle and pyramid, but the scent itself is a total letdown. I paid around 1,500 rubles for the 50 ml bottle, which is way too much for what I got. The price was attractive, especially with discounts, but the quality of the perfume itself is subpar. I'm not impressed with the longevity of the scent either - it fades away quickly, making it not worth the investment. I'm usually a fan of Christelle Laprade's work, but this one's a miss for me. The longevity of the scent is a major issue, and the price is way too high for what you get. I'd say it's not worth the investment, especially considering the quality of the perfume is subpar.

Hello everyone!
I've got a bunch of perfume bottles for different occasions and moods. And then I saw Pepe Jeans For Her in one of the reviews, and I was drawn in by the unique bottle and pyramid. I bookmarked it and decided to give it a try at the Latvian store. But what really surprised me was when I saw the entire Pepe Jeans range at Magnit Cosmetics online, and the prices were super attractive! Of course, I couldn't resist getting my own cocktail.

Pepe Jeans For Her is like a cocktail - an elixir of sensuality for bold women who love to indulge in every moment of life. The perfect blend of ingredients that create a 'wow' effect, enhancing the feminine and original character of this scent.
The combination of amber and vanilla, enhanced by the refined note of almond milk, sweet marshmallow note, and musky base note creates a soft, cozy, and irresistible trail.
Inspired by the fashion brand's character, Pepe Jeans creates innovative bottle shapes, reminiscent of a cocktail glass for her and a shaker for him. Pepe Jeans perfumes, with bottles shaped like small prisms, perfectly balance elegance and authenticity.

Packaging and Appearance
When I unwrapped the Pepe Jeans For Her, I was greeted by a massive, rose-colored box that looked almost like a miniature version of the perfume bottle itself.
The packaging is top-notch – the perfume itself is wrapped in a nice layer of bubble wrap, and the box is sturdy cardboard.
What caught my eye was the cheeky message inside the box.
And then, the moment of truth – we finally get to see the perfume bottle itself... Ta-da!
First impressions – it's a beautiful bottle! But, I have to admit, I was a bit concerned about the size of the bottle itself. The glass container seemed a bit small to me, to the point where I even double-checked the packaging to see if I'd somehow grabbed a 30ml version instead of the standard 50ml. It wasn't until I visited the 'Magnit Kozmetiks' store a few months later that I realized my initial concern – they had a tester with an 80ml capacity! I couldn't have guessed that, as the maximum capacity I'd seen in either 'M.Video' or 'L'atua' was 50ml. I did find an 80ml offer on Ozon, but it was priced at 620 rubles, which made me suspect that it might not be the original product.
Okay, so we've got the size sorted out – let's move on to the next thing.
I was really looking forward to unwrapping my Pepe Jeans For Her perfume, but it turns out the packaging wasn't as pretty as I expected. When I carefully opened the box, I was a bit disappointed to see that the bottle wasn't as elegant as I thought it would be.
The worst part is that my perfume bottle is leaking. I've noticed that there's always a tiny drop of fragrance near the cap, which is really frustrating. I've tried holding the bottle by the cap, but my hands end up smelling like the perfume afterwards. As a result, I've had to store the bottle upside down in my cabinet, which isn't exactly what I had in mind for my future vanity.To be honest, I'm really disappointed with the unboxing experience of Pepe Jeans For Her. Instead of feeling excited, I'm left feeling let down. While the sizing issue was just a miscommunication, the leaking bottle is still a major turn-off for me.

The Scent
When I first spritzed Pepe Jeans For Her, I was hit with a strong coconut note accompanied by a sharp, spirity scent. It's almost like a combination of vodka and marshmallow, with a hint of almond. The vodka is definitely the dominant note at this stage, but it's not overpowering thanks to the sweetness of the scent. As the fragrance settles, the vodka gradually fades away, replaced by the warmth of vanilla.
To be honest, the scent still sounds sweet, but there's a slight roughness that prevents it from being edible. And that's exactly how it stays on me, barely changing at all. I mean, it's pretty intriguing, not to mention very tempting.xa0
Longevity and Sillage
From what I've observed, Pepe Jeans For Her has decent longevity. The sillage is around 1.5 meters, but it all depends on the amount you apply. Let's be real, the amount does matter – even though the scent isn't cloying, it can still overpower you. On my skin, it lasts around 6 hours, and on my hair, it lasts up to a day.

My Associations
I've read in other reviews that Pepe Jeans For Her is the scent of a high-end woman. I'm not sure about that – everyone has their own idea of what a woman is and what she's worth. To me, this scent is that of a fun, lively party girl. Sweet, feminine cocktails and dancing till dawn! Everyone wants her, but she's not looking for a partner – she's here to have fun. So, don't expect her to show up, but maybe she'll sneak her number onto a napkin.

Seasonality and Appropriateness
I'd say Pepe Jeans For Her is a scent for cold weather. Although it's not cloying, its sweetness might be overwhelming in the summer. And let's be real, our summers are scorching – over 30 degrees Celsius, and I'm not a fan of wearing perfume in that heat. Appropriateness depends on your ability to dose the perfume. Could Pepe Jeans For Her overpower your colleagues in the office? Absolutely! But I'd reserve this scent for walks and dates. Especially dates! Men love this scent – the sweetness combined with a drink makes them take notice of the woman wearing it.
My Verdict
I've got to say, I'm a bit torn about Pepe Jeans For Her. Even when I'm browsing through the brand's collection, I find myself wavering between different scents. I wanted to buy them all, especially the women's line. But that flaky bottle of theirs really put me off. In the end, I think I'll stick with just one.
As for the scent itself, Pepe Jeans For Her is actually really interesting and quite original. I love its sweet, boozy notes. Add to that its great longevity and the fact that you can snag it on discounts for a steal, and I'm giving it 4 stars – minus one for the bottle.
