This perfume's seductive blend of Bulgarian rose, earthy patchouli, and rounded vanilla makes it richer and deeper than conventional rose-based fragrances.
When you talk about the ingredients as a list, it doesn't sound bad at all. And while rose, patchouli, vanilla (there is no lavender in here) can be a warning sign for chypre (a highly cloying, scrubbable, give-you-a-headache scent) sometimes it's not. It didn't have the labdanum that is usually in chypre, so I thought I would be safe—it was not. I can't believe the price they get for this. The quality isn't bad, but I can't believe someone would actually buy and wear this. Whatever you do, stay the heck away from me, or I will throw up all over you! I have not been the least bit impressed with this line. The person in charge of choosing the scents surely doesn't have an über nose (I do). Too strong and it's all been done before too many times.
1I'm a "signature scent" type of woman-- I have one perfume and that's the only one I ever wear.
And for the past 20 years (since high school) I've been a Chanel No. 5 girl. Normally I hate perfume samples (Because I already have my scent!) but this has made me change my signature scent.
Best compliment--I wore this last weekend and was standing outside with group of friends. After a breeze went through the woman standing next to me perked up, started sniffing the air and said "someone here smells amazing. I just caught a whiff of an amazing perfume." Because we're close, I made her smell my wrist to confirm that yes, it was me.
I don't usually get too excited about the fragrance samples that come in my monthly box, but I liked this one. However, the price for me is just too expensive. The scent is very pretty and natural for me. I like that it doesn't smell like a bunch of artificial stuff, but I can't justify the purchase of it due to the price.
3This is my new signature scent. I didn't think I was much of a patchouli kind of girl, but this perfume has changed my mind. I catch myself smelling my wrist occasionally because I love the scent so much, and I'm always getting compliments on it. In fact, it's my MOST complimented scent and I think I'll be wearing it for years to come. Love, love, love it!
