Pros & Cons
- A modern classic. Much better than most of the modern designer releases that lean candy-sweet and borderline unisex.
- Great scent profile with a fresh, spicy character that feels vibrant and well-balanced. Performance is excellent, with longevity exceeding 10 hours.
- Absolutely gorgeous soft, slightly sweet, powdery, woody perfume!
- Another gorgeous entry... stunning... wearable, surprisingly modern spicy-woody oriental composition.
- Foul stench! Made my husband scrub it off. He didn't like it at all and I absolutely hated it.
- synthetic slop. one of the few fragrances that makes me nauseous
- I had a bottle... remember it as a 'fizzy' woody oriental -- perhaps it had aldehydes that didn't agree with me.
- There is also a slight off-note in the opening, which is probably due to the vintage sample and lower concentration of the jus.
