Reviewers praise
- Strong projection and sillage that fills rooms and lingers in elevators
- Sweet floral-patchouli blend with vanilla creates a warm, sexy character
- Performs well with good longevity on skin
Reviewers push back
- Ubiquity has made it a fragrance many now find tiresome or overdone
- Sweetness can border on sickly or syrupy
