| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| I am so glad I got the "mini" version and didn't foolishly rush in and get the big bottle! This is just awful, and I had such high hopes for it, being a lover of Oriental perfumes. It was super-strong when first misted; so strong that I couldn't even get any specific top notes other than a little "Oh God, get it away!" As it settled down on my skin it started to mellow out a bit. It's a very heady floral mixed with a powdery scent -- but not the good kind. It smells like those cheap talcum powders old ladies put on with puffs after they bathe. I can also see where it would have been reviewed as having a "bad" or "dirt-like" undertone in the New York Times. Basically, they were trying too hard with this one and mixed a lot of unusual ingredients together with a bad result, one that doesn't match their exotic lingerie. Well, unless you like Grandma strutting her stuff in a red bustier.... |
