Snagged it at a clearance store and it’s so good… like the other reviews said, I decided to really test it out at the gym, just on my arm. The longevity is top-notch; I did a thousand things and it stayed put. Arden has great perfumes for all tastes; at first I noticed florals, but in the end, I got stuck with amber and something indefinable—delicate and refined. I don’t know what lilies smell like, maybe they’re part of it. It’s not for making a scene, nothing like that, and I’m the type who dares to wear strong scents like Kenzo’s Elephant or Estée Lauder’s Knowing. I recommend it; it’s definitely something refined.

Sweet, fruity, and elegant. A worthy flanker to Red Door, just younger and sparklier. It’s not for little girls, but it makes you feel young and active. Medium longevity, lasts about 6 hours. For the price, it’s amazing—very economical for such good quality. The box is gorgeous, and the bottle looks just like the traditional Red Door presentation but with more luxury. I absolutely loved Rica.

It’s very rich, sweet, with a fresh touch, not citrusy. The pear note stands out from start to finish. Good longevity for the price; on my skin, I get about 6 hours. Reminds me of Untold and also Burberry Brit EDT; the pear and peony combination is very similar. If you’re looking for something fresh and sweet that isn’t cloying and is a good price, this could be your option.

It’s a sweet and citrusy scent all at once, but I don’t know why it doesn’t last even two hours on me.
