What wearers say
“I'm just getting into the world of perfumes, and I've bought maybe 30 different samples in the last 2 months. This is by far my favorite. It's fresh, sexy and a little sweet but not nauseating and syrupy (looking at you, Flowerbomb Nectar). I wore it to a business meeting and was complimented walking through the door, and 3-4 hours later was complimented again by a different co worker. The price is steep, but in my opinion worth it.”
“Love the sweet creamy from the ylang ylang and the powdery from heliotrope. Opening can be harsh to some (my family member said it smell like temple incense and also smell like grandma) but the dry down are so smooth and addicting. Love it but I wont commit to buy full bottle.”
“Beautiful fragrance, a sweet ambery, creamy, almondy vanilla that's a little mainstream but still rounded into something just a bit special that will get you lots of compliments. Good sillage and fair longevity too.Still on the fence about buying a full bottle - I could normally only justify this price point if something is truly unique, which I wouldn't say this fragrance is, yet it's lovely enough that I'm strongly considering it.”
