Dawn is a fresh and cool citrusy floral, with orchid as the leading role. Endless is an elegant fruity floral, while the sensual Twilight is sweet, powdery, and smoky at the same time. From Dawn to Twilight, the scent gets warmer and sweeter. (The colors used to clothe the bottles are nicely chosen to reflect the characters of the scents and the imageries that they evoke.
My favorite of the three is Endless, which, to me, is all about the balance, both within itself and in relation to the other two scents. There is a balance between the fruity and floral notes, and no floral note overtakes the other two. The end result is a soft, gentle and very subtly vibrant scent that works in all seasons. (In contrast, Dawn is clean, crisp and cool and strikes me more as a summer scent.)
The three fragrances are available in eau de parfum spray 30ml, eau de parfum spray 75ml, and Soft Body Lotion (200ml).

Hi Juvenescent,
Thank you very much for your comment! Let me know what you think of them if you have a chance to try them. :)
Hi PJ,
Thanks for the review! I’m dying to try The Lovely Collection. Do you have any idea where I could find samples? I tried the SJP Beauty site but they only have free samples for US citizens.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Carrie,
Thank you for your question.
Unfortunately I don’t really know where you can request samples on-line. I think the best way to obtain samples is to visit your nearest department store (if The Lovely Collection is available in your country).
Thank you for stopping by!
I bought both Dawn and twilight as I got a large discount on both. I have to say I really regret the purchase, the give me a headache and smell cheap. The musk is over powering rather than subtle. At first they smell ok as they top notes are nice, but they don't wear in well I have found.
Hi Lila16,
I am sorry that Dawn and Twilight do not appeal to you. Personally, I like Endless the best. But I certainly do not dislike the other two and the orchid note in Dawn does appeal to me.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts! :)
