I bought this blindly based on the reviews. To compare fairly, I should mention my pH tends to amplify sweet scents, yet this smells fresh, like I’ve just had a shower, with a slight warmth and a very subtle floral-aldehydic touch. It lasts about six hours (with sprays on key pulse points) and I detect a very faint peach note that adds warmth to The Key. In summer, it lasts between six and eight hours, offering excellent longevity. I’ve compared it to Perry Ellys 360°, but The Key has more warmth and is my favourite. I recommend it for informal occasions, school, the office, or a walk around the park… There’s no age limit; any woman could enjoy it.

It’s delicious, fruity, fresh, sensual and charming. It leaves an incredible peach and watermelon trail. It attracts many compliments, never goes unnoticed, and people always ask what you’re wearing. Watch out, it has a special effect on men, so if you have a date, use it without hesitation. It’s within everyone’s reach because the price is good. It’s ideal for young girls, but it also rejuvenates us slightly older than 30. 100% recommended. I even fell for Justin Bieber; I own all his perfumes, but this one defines him: cute, provocative and sexy.

An optimal scent for casual spring and summer afternoons. Honestly, I don’t detect the vanilla or musk; to me, it smells aquatic, citrusy, slightly floral, and with a hint of fruit in the base. I like it; it’s fresh and cheerful, I’d define it as energising. It doesn’t smell like a typical celebrity perfume, nor is it memorable or unique. It’s linear and doesn’t evolve over time. The notes are hard to distinguish. There were many compliments at first, but after two hours, only I can still smell it, even though I apply quite a bit.

A very good perfume, with an average longevity of four hours. It’s sweet and youthful, refreshing, but for me, it’s a somewhat common scent. Personally, I prefer Someday; it seems sweeter, fresher, but with more of an angelic quality. I recommend trying both, Someday and The Key, to see which suits you better. They are suitable for all year round; I recommend them for ages 13 to 35; the other Justin perfumes are for younger teens.

I bought it blindly because of the reviews and because it was half price as a gift. I liked it, but it didn’t seem anything special. It’s for casual occasions, a bit of a cloying fruity floral. It’s not overpowering at all, but it doesn’t impress either. It doesn’t last that long; I think 3 hours, and the sillage is minimal. As it was so cheap, I’m not regretting it, but I don’t think it’s worth its original price.
Taxi9
A very pleasant surprise; I bought it blindly and based on reviews. The value for money is unbeatable; it doesn’t look like a singer’s perfume. If they cover my eyes, I could think we’re looking at an expensive designer scent. I’ve fallen in love with it and only wish autumn would arrive so I can wear it at will. It’s not strong enough for summer, but its notes suit autumn perfectly. It’s brilliant.

My daughter (17) owns this and it’s what she wears daily lately. I like it; it’s fruity and sweet, and it lasts her a long time. She leaves at 7 am and her room still smells until 9 (and she uses a maximum of two sprays). It’s super versatile for daytime, school, or hanging out with friends… The quality-to-price ratio is excellent. It leaves quite a trail, at least on her.
amatista77
Super sweet white floral, like a pretty little girl, cloying and powdery… absolutely gorgeous. I bought it blindly on offer and was surprised how different it is from the other J.B perfumes (they’re all very similar to Viva la Juicy); for me, it’s the best of them all, even in performance. The pity is that it’s discontinued, so I’ll enjoy it until the last drop…

Tranquil white floral, ideal for casual wear. I like it, but it’s not my style; it looks very childish. Lasts 4 hours straight on the skin, leaves no trail, and unfortunately, it just doesn’t work for me 😔👎🏼. Scent 5/10, Longevity 4/10, Sillage 2/10, Packaging 9/10, Versatility 9/10, Value for Money 6/10. Would I buy it again? NO ❌❌

The perfume that reminds me of my teenage years <3. I adore it! I've bought it several times since it launched. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued in Chile for a very long time, but I managed to buy the last bottle in 2015 and have used it very sparingly since then, only for special occasions.

I took the 30ml sample trusting the scent I caught in the air while testing it in the shopping centre. I wasn’t wrong; I loved it and it’s the first one I’ve finished to justify buying the 100ml version. However, I don’t know what’s come over me – I can’t bring myself to open the bottle.
Slovewood
I love it; personally, I feel it’s an elegant scent, perfect for cold weather. My friends identify me by this smell, haha; they can tell I’m near from a distance. It seems like a wonderful perfume. I’ve bought it three times and just ordered a dupe to see if it suits me better.

Very few perfumes give me a headache, and this is one of them. I’m not saying it’s bad; for many it’s delicious, smelling of pineapple, wood and ozone. Oh dear, I just couldn’t handle it. I have simple tastes, or perhaps our chemistry wasn’t right, as they say.

Very few scents make me nauseous, and this is one of them! I’m not saying it’s bad for everyone; it’s a delicious perfume, smelling of pineapple, woods, and ozone! Oh, I couldn’t handle it; I’m simple in my tastes or, as they say, we didn’t have chemistry 😭
Lenoir
One of the best blind buys! I love it; it doesn’t seem like a celebrity perfume. Its longevity is incredible and the price is excellent; I’ll definitely buy it again when my bottle runs out. On my skin, the notes of peach, pear, and vanilla stand out.
krosg
I bought the 30ml bottle trusting the scent I caught in the air at the shopping centre. I wasn’t wrong; I loved it and it was the first one I finished to repurchase in 100ml. But I don’t know what’s come over me; I just haven’t wanted to open it.

I love it; it’s my favourite and I’ve run out:( . I’m heartbroken; I’ve looked for it here in Chile and can’t find it. Apparently, it’s discontinued. If anyone knows where to buy it in Chile or if there’s a similar one, please let me know.

I tried it by accident because the bottle caught my eye, but after smelling it, I bought it again. On me, it smells delicious, fresh and fruity; I loved it. I recommend it for young girls; I’m not that young anymore but I still like it.

I tried it after seeing the bottle and, upon smelling it, bought it straight away. It smells delicious, fresh and fruity. I loved it; I’d recommend it for younger girls. I’m not that young anymore, but I still like it.

I gifted this to my daughter, who is a huge Justin Bieber fan. It’s a more elegant and sophisticated scent than Someday; in fact, it could even work for me. I liked it, and my daughter did too.
Pawy93
Although I haven’t tried it on my skin, it smells great on paper: fruity, fresh, and just right for this guy’s crowd. I’m surprised it’s by a celebrity; maybe I’ll give it a try one day.
Micaocean
A very rich scent; I remember first trying it when I was 16 and I loved it; truly exquisite! Compared to Someday, which is extremely sweet, this is the complete opposite; it’s so rich!
aleeromanm
The longevity is great, but the scent is very generic and the notes aren’t distinguishable; it smells fruity but also a bit fussy. I didn’t like it :/ what a pity it was a gift.
wglamour
It’s refreshing; I can really detect the tangerine on my skin. I love those opening notes, but they don’t last long. The longevity is moderate and the trail is soft.
chilena
It’s nice, though it doesn’t win me over completely; it reminds me of Katy Perry’s ‘Purr’. It smells of peach, musk, and vanilla. The longevity is at least good.
lsolaligue24
I like it; it’s sweet but not cloying, perfect for an afternoon out and it attracts compliments thanks to its rich, slightly sexy aroma.
beleeeeeeeeeen_
A fruity fragrance, not excessively so, finer than Someday and Girlfriend. Very rich, not very long-lasting, but it has a lovely scent.
Ann3
I have to admit, it caught me off guard; the scent is top-notch: youthful, sweet, and perfect for daytime, made for a fun-loving girl.
