I had this given to me as a gift by my mother-in-law. I must say the packaging was rather lovely and most likely what made her purchase it. It's in a lovely little bottle and looks rather nice on my dresser. As for the smell, it is not as young and fruity as I normally go for in perfumes and my initial thoughts were how it was quite strong and over powering but a very nice smell.
I decided to give it a while to grow on me, and that it did! I have used this while wearing a jacket and smelt the jacket a few weeks later and the smell is still great. It's very long lasting and as I've just learnt the price, so it should be :)
I don't think I'll buy it again as it's not my usual, but I will enjoy using it. I would also recommend this to anyone who likes a long lasting perfume that lingers in a good way.
I have to admit that i bought this just because i loved the packaging. It's taken me about a year to actually come to like the fragrance. I found it overwhelming in the beginning but now, after about 2 hours of wearing, it smells so, so pretty. It's very expensive, but you needn't use much as it's one of those scents that lingers on the skin.
