Growing up my household was torn between this fragrance; you had those who loved it and the rest of us who didn't like it and would only wear it if it meant getting rid of it faster.
I love how Estee Lauder packages most of their perfumes and this one is no exception. Just a classic curved oblong bottle with a high golden pointed flat top lid. But the packaging has never been enough to make me change my mind on this fragrance.
I feel if we all took a Perfume 101 class this would be the fragrance they'd ask us to make. There's nothing overly special about it; it's not too much, it's not too light but for me it's neither right (on my skin) .
On other people this smells divine; like a beautiful scent of florals in the wind yet on me it smells as if someone just added some average smelling floral oils into the liquid and there you have it. Standard and boring. I'm positive I have smelled a very similar scent or the same mixture of notes in another Estee Lauder fragrance I just haven't quite placed it yet.
I must say though that the lasting power is great; there's something about these Estee Lauder perfumes where they really know how to extend the longevity of a fragrance. But even that is not enough to save this fragrance.
This is a very aromatic and floral fragrance that is relatively heavy and long lasting. I received it as a gift from my mum, and I find that it is a daytime perfume, and especially suitable for the Spring season. The packaging is a classic simple and elegant bottle. I would recommend this perfume but probably will not be buying it anytime soon because of the expensive price, but I would recommend for those who are willing to splurge!
