What wearers say

“I think this is a really well done perfume, it is affordable but long-lasting and it is a scent that most women will like! But for me, it is a bit generic. I could find something a lot cheaper and also a lot more expensive that smells exactly like this, it is a fruity, sweet vanilla that is quite intimate on the skin. It lasts a little over 5 hours, so it definitely is worth the price but if you're wanting a complex fragrance, this isn't it.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This is probably the prettiest perfume and hard to dislike. I brought another one recently but it has been reformulated aka its not as strong in terms of projection, sillage and longevity and also the iris and vanilla are not as prominent as the original but still this is an amazing scent, makes you feel very girly. Pair it with Eos cashmere vanilla lotion and its amazing. Love the perfume. Will always be my top 5 perfumes.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Sexy, feminine, long lasting, great projection, and good for EVERY occasion and every age group. Men absolutely go crazzzzy for this one too which is even better. Total compliment magnet. Number one seller for a reason, let’s face it.”
