TOVA SIGNATURE

WORKING GAL — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 19:23:36 GMT

I watched Tova a few nights ago late at night in California. She continued to say how the Tova Signature perfume has 28% essential oils and how long lasting it is. I was a Tova Signature loyal customer for decades ad I'm sorry but it is not the same as it was and does not last. Her long time customers know what is smelled like and how you could see the essential oils on our skin and the scent even lasted days later on your clothes. I know she is there to sell but it is unfair to keep insisting that it has remained the same all these years when has not. It was my favorite fragrance and I am sad and angry that it has changed so drastically, many of the the reviews are not good and Tova and QVC does nothing to bring back the original. QVC is losing a lot of customers because of the change. Tova, please, please bring back the orignal long lasting fragrance.

Tova Nights was my signature fragrance for years. Now it's so diluted it (1) does not even smell the same and (2) has no staying power.

They have the real thing online for more than $200. The bottles have been there for a long time and I now wonder if they are now rancid.

Unfortunately, TOVA changes many years ago. Many of us have complained. I would never purchase it again.

Tova was my signature scent. Nothing I have tried since has gotten me the compliments that the original TOVA did. That ship has sailed, sadly.

I think that's true of a lot of fragrances today. Unfortunately.... When it says "Parfum" I always assumed that the oil percentages had to meet a standard requirement but I'm finding that isn't true. Some "perfumes" out there just don't last... I go to the counter to test one and a couple hours later there is no fragrance on my hand.... sad.

Government requirements for perfume ingredients changed years ago and the companies must abide by the rules. They needed to change the formulas or cease production. I believe this enters into the change in your favorite perfumes?

I wore Tova's fragrances for years and received compliments. Still have some. I will no longer take a chance on ordering since reading comments about the difference and that they no longer smell the same or last at all. I wish her skincare line would return.

Never tried the "old" TOVA, but have to say I use the current version and the Summer version with great success! Complimented all the time!

Everyone's body chemistry is different!

Maybe Tova operates under the assumption that if you tell a lie often enough and long enough, eventually people will believe it.

I wore Tova Signature for years and then noticed that it didn't smell the same. I thought either my body chemistry changed or the Tova formula changed. Got so many compliments over the years and was sad when I stopped buying/wearing it.

I still like it but I know there have been complaints.

Same here I bought Tova Nights back in the late 90's from Q. At first, I purchased Tova Signature. I hated it. Sent it back and got Tova Nights. I fell in love with it. It was my go to fragrance. I haven't ordered it in about 5 years or so. But I'm surprised to read that the formula changed. Why mess with a good thing?

Or, maybe her suppliers of essential oils changed. Essential oils can be tricky. The scent can change quickly depending upon how they are processed. Some are steam extracted. Some are not. But that process WILL change the smell of the oils.

I also wore Tova Signature for years, had strangers complimenting me on the fragrance, even the banquet manager at my wedding 19 years ago said something! Smelled great and the fragrance lasted forever! I haven't purchased it since it changed, due to the poor reviews, and have no plans too unless it goes back to the original formulation.

I used to wear "Body Mind & Spirit" - from QVC.

Loved it, and received many compliments.

Have no idea if they still make it.

I couldn't have said it better, LoveToChat!! The formula has most definitely changed ... and not in a good way. I've used Tova Signature since it first appeared on QVC which was a very long time ago. The fresh, clean scent lasted all day and I always received compliments. Those days are over. Like you, I also wonder why Tova continues to promote this product as if it was the original. What happened to truth in advertising?

I have to agree. I purchased the solid thinking it would be great. Unfortunately when you put it on it only lasts maybe and hour!!! it is in a lovely compact. But guess what now it has no scent at all. I remember purchasing solid perfume from Amway (some of you may remember) and it was the best never lost it's scent. So I will not be purchasing anymore. I am curious about Joan Rivers perfume. Has anyone tried hers?

Well, I join the ranks of people unhappy with the TOVA changes!! I wore only TOVA Signature for over ten years! Then my last bottle smelled differently and did not last at all!! I stopped buying!!

I was so disappointed!! I always received compliments on my perfume and men loved it!! I often got stopped in the street, store, coffee shop etc by men and women to tell me they loved the scent!!

Unfortunately, my beloved Coco Chanel is no longer the same in the parfume form.

@pommom

That was my signature perfume for a bunch of years, until I noticed the change in the scent also.

I haven't bought it since. She lost my business when that fragrance changed. And I was not very happy at all.

I won't buy anything from her, even her jewelry.

I wear TOVA Platinum and it has lasting power for me. I may not be able to smell it after a while that I've had it on, but I know others do.

My DIL loves to drive my car because she says the seat belt smells like it. I can smell it on my tops or pants (I usually spray downwards--no where near my face or neck) when I'm doing wash.

Just this morning, I went to answer the phone and I got a whiff of it, I was still in my jammies, it must've been on the hardwood floor in the guestroom from yesterday!
