We Reviewed Jessica Mauboy's New Fragrance While Blindfolded

So you can really know what it smells like.

While you probably already know that Australia's Jessica Mauboy is stylish and all-round fierce AF, you might not be aware of the fact she's about to release her very first fragrance.

It's called Be Beautiful and a 50ml bottle will cost you $24.95.

This is what the bottle looks like by the way - not that our ~fragrance reviewers~ could see it.

On the box Jessica describes her debut fragrance as a "sensual mixture of aqua base notes ascending to a floral water lily transparent scent, with green apple top notes that gently embrace the skin". She goes on to say that creating a fragrance is like creating a song, which probably makes sense to other people who have managed to do both.

To give the perfume a fair review, we asked six people to try it out. They were all blindfolded and told this was a "new celebrity fragrance", but had no idea that celebrity was Jessica.

Here's what they had to say:

"This smells like summer - it's fruity and a little ~oceany~. I actually quite like it. It's a little bit like DKNY Be Delicious. I would wear this, but if I find out whose perfume it is and I don't like the celeb it will definitely ruin it for me."

"It's so fruity - like an entire watermelon's smacking me in the face. But I like it. It reminds me of high school corridors sprayed with copious amounts of Impulse, but fancier. I'm guessing it's another Britney Spears perfume because she totally dominates the fragrance market."

"I really liked the smell, it was fun and fresh, but it's not too overpowering - I love light, feminine scents. I'd totally buy it. It'd be great for summer and spring."

Dean

"So, the perfume smells fresh - as most perfumes do - but this isn't potent or overpowering. It doesn't sting the nostrils. It's actually light and clean, like the feeling of just getting out of the shower, or spring time. Most perfumes smell sweet like flowers, this is no different.

If I had to guess a celebrity that made it, I'd think of someone who stands out, but isn't overbearing - like Cate Blanchett. She's all class."

Alex

"This perfume is fruity and sticky sweet, like a vaporised Lip Smacker or a shot of Midori. It reminds me of hypercolour rainbows and unicorn tails. I would buy it for my 12-year-old niece if I had one. My bet would be someone colourful and fun like Katy Perry or Demi Lovato made it, and it's called 'Bouncy' or 'Sunshine Shout'."

Patrick

Anna Mendoza / BuzzFeed

"It wasn’t as strong or sweet as a lot of celeb perfumes are - e.g. Taylor Swift or JB, it was a nice subtle smell. I couldn’t tell from the bottle shape whose it was -most celebs stick with a theme. I was into it though."

This fragrance sample was provided to BuzzFeed at no cost for the sake of review.
