Intriguing

The perfume has a very interesting bottle and it can be day or night. As I mentioned it is not as earthy as I had hoped. Overall, it is a good rating of 8.0 for me.(on as scale of 1-10)

Scent Fades Fast

Overall I like the fragrance, however, it doesn't last long. I apply and the scent is gone in no time. The fact that this fades so fast makes it a very, very expensive perfume. I was trying to find a new signature fragrance, will probably go back to Opium.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!

This is with out a doubt one of my MOST favorite perfumes EVER. It smells so amazing and I get tons of compliments, plus it stays on all day. It seems to be a fall/winter scent, but I wear it all year. Definitely not for everyone, so yeah, just check it out through the samples first, or at the mall? Because it is more on the pricey side.

Gorgeous fragrance

This is an absolutely beautiful fragrance. It has a bit of mystery to it. I spray a little on in the morning and I can still smell it at bedtime. If I spray it on a clothing item the scent is still there until I launder it. When I first tried this in a store I got some on the sleeve of my coat, thereafter every time I put my coat on I was immediately reminded of how heavenly this scent is! Within 3 weeks I returned to the store to buy a bottle. I was in love with the fragrance! 5 years later; I still wear it nearly every day!

THE SMELL IS DIVINE!

I have always wanted to buy this perfume, but it's so expensive in Ulta and other stores. My brother-in-law told me about this site and I finally bought it! No more spraying myself to death with the testers or buying the rollerball version that I use in a week. I'm so happy. It's my signature smell now.
