by Denise Richards
Denise Richards is a summery, white floral fragrance with a prominent gardenia heart accented by frangipani, jasmine, and lily, balanced by a soft musk and vanilla base. The opening features a subtle coconut and ylang-ylang note, but the coconut fades quickly, leaving a clean, delicate floral center with a light lactonic and powdery finish. It's fresh and beachy in vibe, evoking tropical islands, with a drydown that is soft and sensually warm. The scent is best suited for spring and summer, particularly warm daytime or evening wear. While the longevity is moderate (around 4–6 hours), it's praised for being affordable and forgiving with reapplication, making it ideal for casual and seasonal wear. A few users report a sharp, alcohol-like initial note that calms over time, but many find the fragrance evolving into something softly romantic and aromatic. Some notice a faint, plasticky or diaper-like note, which may be off-putting to sensitive noses, but overall, the scent is widely appreciated for its elegant simplicity and affordable elegance.
