I love it! It’s simply delicious.
I adore it! It’s simply delicious.
All flowers! If you’re obsessed with florals, this is your thing. It’s sweet but not over the top. It feels elegant and very feminine. Magnolia and neroli really stand out—creamy and with a moderate trail. On my skin, it lasts about 5 to 6 hours, though it depends on everyone’s pH and could vary. Overall, it’s a gorgeous and irresistible fragrance. And the price is amazing—super affordable compared to high-end brands. Kenneth Cole’s Black doesn’t even come close; it smells like a luxury perfume without the cost.
