What wearers say
“Smells like a single elegant woman in a trench, London, Autumn, who works in press, fashion or bookstore. It is very elegant yet very simple in my opinion. Perfect for colder seasons. Would not recommend for summer, it is just not fitting the vibe. Not very durable, but the price allows. Would be perfect for a coffee date somewhere in October. Perfect for work or studying.”
“Quite nice opening, with crispy juicy lemon. Unfortunately on me it soon changes to just ginger, musk and cedar, and turns to quite masculine scent. Longevity is moderate, but sillage very soft. More a unisex fragrance.”
“Beautiful fragrance, sexy and spicy. This was my signature fragrance for a few years, I got tired of it. The edt is a little heavy, I cannot imagine how heavy the edp is! Regardless, it's very long lasting. Of all perfumes I've ever worn, this one got me the most compliments from gals and guys alike. On me it smelled kind of oriental... an exotic and rare smell.”
