This is a winter scent from Clinique which has been described alternately as milky, smelling of liquorice and as having tones of watermelon, depending on the wearer. This is definitely a perfume to try before you buy because if it suits your body chemistry, then you will love it. Otherwise, best to avoid.

First there is no liquorice, secondly there is no watermelon. As in all fragrances try smelling in the air for a full 20 seconds and allow the fragrance to build. From your comments you did not. You have been reading to many magazines about body chemistry. This is not accurate. To test this take a fragrance spray in the air. Then take the same fragrance and spray on the skin, smell close you will see it does not smell the same. If you are smelling close you are doing it wrong. All fragrances have to breathe. Clinique Simply is a fragrance of comfort, it is modern and soft. How do I know this you ask, I designed it. The fragrance was inspired by the creamy skin of my new born son. The initial brightness is a wet dewy floral feel. I wanted a soft feminine fragrance unlike the other me too fragrances on the market, which all smell alike.

If you are thinking about buying this perfume, then I would advise not to take any notice of this review. Liquorice and Watermelon????? Winter fragrance????

<br>I bought this perfume last summer when flying out to Greece and it is wonderful. It is fresh, and comforting yet slightly floral - it is quite hard to describe, but it really is lovely.

Having just bought this perfume, after usually wearing perfumes much heavier, I was surprised at how nice and soft it smells, getting quite a lot of comments from male and females on how nice I smelt. Can smell no liquorice, but a slight hint of watermelon. Lovely soft and refreshing perfume.

I recently ordered a bottle of Simply. I absolutely love it!!! I don't know what that first commenter was saying about licorice or watermelon? It is a very subtle and perfect daily mommy on the go fragrance. I recommend it on my family website, Thank you Clinique!

I disagree with the reviewer - I am very choosy about my perfume and I love this. It makes me feel fresh and I find the smell comforting. It doesn't give me a headache like most other fragrances - I use it daily.

I have received this perfume as a gift for Christmas and I really love this scent. I do not smell anything fruity about it , however I do feel that there is almost a soft vanilla fragrance to it. What I like most about it is that it is milky , soft and is a perfect when wearing my angora sweater! Just the added soft touch one needs...
