Covet

Covet by Sarah Jessica Parker delivers a highly individual and transformative scent that evolves dramatically on the skin. It begins with a sharp, green-herbal opening that combines citrus, lavender, and a unique element evoking fresh-cut grass and lemongrass, giving an almost synthetic intensity that some find overwhelming. Over time, this intensity softens and the composition reveals itself as a surprising mix of aromatic dryness, earthy wood notes, and a subtle superposition of dark chocolate that feels more like a bitter cocoa butter than a sweet confection. The floral heart is softly imprinted with lily of the valley, magnolia, and honeysuckle, which are not dominant but emerge as delicate, airy layers in the middle stage. The base settles into a softly textured, cashmere-like warmth with musk and a dry, soft woody quality. The fragrance is gentle, intimate, and quietly elegant, balancing freshness with depth, making it versatile across seasons and occasions. It has excellent longevity and sillage, though it tends to wrap close to the skin, and the scent lingers pleasantly on clothing. Its affect is remarkably personal—some find it comforting, others perceive it as challenging or overly green. However, it consistently delights users who appreciate unconventional, layered scents with a niche character.
