What wearers say
“Soft orris, green notes and refreshing vanilla; this perfume is nice! It's light, simple and modern. However, I do think it's overpriced. There are many similar smelling body mists for a fraction of the price.”
“Quite sickening to me. Very very sweet but not in a pleasant way, and I like strong frangrances that create a 'bubble' around me. It is quite long-lasting but the drydown gave me headaches.. At first spray reminded me a little bit of Angel Muse EDT, but after it transformed in plain sickening sugar, with no personality and uniqueness. I see it is considered a unisex fragrance, but in my opinion I wouldn't see a man wearing it. Quite overpriced for what it is, imo.”
“It's like LVEB and Scandal had a baby. Opening is close to LVEB and it settles to something thatvleans more towards the honey of Scandal. Quite generic and mass appealing. A good gift for someone that is not into fragrance and would like something sweet and great for winter.”
