SMART
Two words: Hella weird.
(I am from San Francisco, and we say "hella" to mean "super, duper")
Smart is inescapably creamy. Right off the bat you get a huge cloud of fluffy, creamy, white musk. It's one of those creamy-musky concoctions that I go wild for. Oddly, it also smells like there is a touch of plastic in it. A little floral in there to keep it from becoming cloying, but jasmine or violets, I can not say for certain.
Smart is the right name for the perfume because it seems very well thought out and put-together. I absolutely love it. My only wish was that it was even stronger, but its elusive, ghostly sillage seems well-suited to the ethereal scent. The scent of this perfume makes me think of Enya.
It took some time to figure out what from my childhood Smart reminds me of, other than plastic dolls. It finally occurred to me that it reminds me of Bill Blass Nude from the late 80's. My mom received a gift set of Nude. She was never into perfume, so she let me have it, and I cherished it for many years. I doubt Nude is still as good as it was back then. It was probably reformulated years ago. Smart is a nice reminder of it while simultaneously being a different perfume.
Fluffy, white musk goodness! (Updated Jul 2016)
