Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I received this as a gift, and mind you, I’d never gift perfume without knowing someone’s tastes beforehand. I’m not a floral person; something weird happens with my skin that makes everything smell like marigolds (or rather, a cemetery) to everyone else. Let me put it in black and white: it smells divine in the bottle, but I kept it half a year without using it because even a single drop on my clothes felt too heavy. But if you like florals, here’s good news: it lasts forever and has an incredible trail.
It reminds me a bit of Paris Hilton’s Tease. It’s fresh, lasts about six hours (maybe a little longer), and has a moderate trail. I’ve loved it.
A very warm scent where a sensual gardenia turns creamy with musk. A softer green apple completes this fragrance, ideal for spring and summer. The bottle is very elegant.
