What wearers say
“Another overpriced synthetic rose & oud combo that brings nothing new to the table. Pleasant, lots of rose and a bit of oud, but nothing unique. Maybe 6 years ago D&G could have got away with this but not now, bottles are half the price on the grey market.”
“I don't know how some people can rate this stuff as having a "weak" longevity. I sprayed 2 sprays on a sample card on Monday. By Thursday this stuff was still going strong!! I don't even think this fragrance ever enters the "dry down" phase. All I smelled was rose and oud the whole time. The rose that is used in this creation is simply divine. Love this stuff. I'm dying to get my hands on it again to spray some on my skin! Will update once I do.”
“I've tried to find the rose in this but all I get is ginger ale. No almonds either - wish there were. It does get woodier later on, and it does last, but I don't really want to smell of ginger ale. Must be my skin. Sorry to all who love this - enjoy it if it's good for you.”
