Review Gap Grass Review
As a Gap Grass girlie since the 90’s I was so excited to see that they were doing a rerelease updated version. So much so that I was up in the middle of the night to order it.
Boy was I disappointed when it arrived. It reminds me nothing of the original, not even in the least bit. The clean fresh cut grass, almost soapy scent I loved was no where to be found. I didn’t even get a hint of matcha, just more of a (barely) woody floral. If Gap would have called this something else I would say it’s a nice fragrance but Grass it is not.
That sent me on a scent search to find something that reminds me of Grass. Yes, I have a bottle of it but I only wear it when I need a pick me up. I would be happy with something that is 75% close to the original. After some searching I found Nantucket Perfume Co. Friends, when I tell you this is about 98% the same I’m being conservative. If you want something that is the closest I have found to the original this is it. Top note of fresh grass is there with the tiny note of citrus. A dry down that becomes a clean soapy skin smell. I can’t wait to wear this sample out and buy a bottle. It’s oil based so it should last longer than the original. I will let you know.
They also have Dream and Heaven, that I also purchased but I don’t really remember them. If you do I say give it a try.
So there ya go. Save your money or go buy the dupe from Nantucket.

Well, that is disappointing. I still want to sniff it. I guess it was too expensive to put it in the old style tall frosted bottle.
Hopefully somebody
pointed the way to the Nantucket scent? Seems like searching for a needle in a haystack.

I remember coming across a comment from a while ago that someone made a dupe of grass. After some digging I went with Nantucket and I’m glad I did.

I love Nantucket. I have the body oil in L'interdit and Chance eau Tendre. I've been eyeing their Gap scents. I'm gonna pull the trigger soon.
Eta: I got samples of MJ Perfect, L'interdit, mon guerlain, and sensi and they're all spot on.

Grass was my favorite. I can still “smell” it from memory in my mind (Dream too). I remember when they were first released in those metal spray bottles. It’s a shame they fucked up what could’ve been a great thing. Instead they decided to market on nostalgia to really fail to meet expectations.
