Do you notice the resemblance to Givenchy’s Amarige? To me, it feels very similar, but fruitier and a bit less provocative. I bought it just to try it out, and my wife absolutely fell in love. Just a note on the ‘less provocative’ part—it’s still quite bold; it projects well and lasts forever. I’d say it’s more of a woman’s fragrance, but a man can wear it without any issues. I’d describe it as avian, fruity, and floral in that order, with a touch of soft wood. Great value for the price, and I think any lady over 30 will enjoy it immensely.
