One of my go-to perfumes; my husband gave it to me in 2002. It’s a shame it’s no longer sold, but it was a huge hit: sweet, long-lasting, and not cloying, with an elegant touch that suits me and women who aren’t quite young anymore.

I bought it based on the notes and it was a total win… I grabbed a 75 ml bottle and I’m heading back to the store to pick up whatever they have (about four more boxes) or at least another bottle; it’s truly enchanting and special to me. It’s exquisite, delicate, sensual, and feminine. I love how it smells on my skin and it always puts me in a great mood. It’s perfectly balanced. I’m super happy I found it 😀 And the bottle is gorgeous too 🙂
