  1. Javiera1989

    I love it! The wood notes feel velvety on the skin and the pear’s sweetness balances perfectly with the jasmine. The downside is it doesn’t last even a second on the skin and barely two hours on clothes. I think the price is outrageous for the quality. I wouldn’t buy it again; it’s like spending a fortune on cheap cologne.

    It doesn’t seem strong to me at all. It reminds me of Escada’s Magnetism, but with a sweeter, less floral base thanks to the fruits.

  3. Erikarori

    This perfume isn’t for young girls because it’s strong and leaves a huge trail, very woody. It’s one of those scents where you either love it or hate it; I adore it.
