Wonderful oriental classy elegant, formal perfume. It is one of the most different and most special smell on the market, does not resemble to any other perfume and I find it difficult to describe. The beginning has a very classy warm citrus, I feel a violette smell all along even if it's not in the notes, then it turns into a nice musc mixed with the most refined vanilla. I see it being worn by a strong woman wearing elegant clothes. One word to describe: refinement! The lasting power is a few hours 6-7, if you want more lasting power, I recommend the Intense version.
