My first experience with Cinema was when a shop assistant sprayed this on a paper strip. I don't find this to be a good way to test a perfume, and I was put off Cinema because of this.
I eventually did a blind buy on the EDP when I found it on sale. I am glad I did.
I find Cinema to be an incredibly wearable; sweet; winter type of scent. The note that stands out the most to me is the vanilla (one person told me the smell of my perfume was making her hungry!)
The bottle is very luxe looking with the gold patterns.
The lasting power is approx 5 hours and the silliage is moderate.
If Cinema was a movie, it would be a mainstream flick: aimed at a mass audience; not controversial; familiar but different at the same time.
Quite an elegant and classy scent on others - I asked a few people what they were wearing just after it was launched and I ended up buying the full size without really trying it on for long enough - just too sweet and cloying for my liking and gave it away soon after, but if you are into sweet floral oriental vanillas and almond blossom type fragrances this is for you,
Tips: If you like Cinema you may also like Belle de Opium (I find them rather similar) or Guerlain Champs elysee's which has similar notes.
