I got this from the Discovery Set and it’s my second try after a month with the sample; it just doesn’t work for my skin. The top notes are aldehydic, so clean and pure they smell like old bar soap, with an intensity and strength that completely masks everything else. The violet is barely noticeable. The opening lingers and keeps dominating with that soapy scent without changing. Even though the brand markets it as an essence to help you sleep and relax, I wouldn’t wear this perfume to bed.
