- Exceptional longevity and projection supported by patchouli and vanilla base
- Wide range of flankers offering variations in sweetness and intensity
- Strong signature scent character that becomes recognizable
Reviewers push back
- Overly sweet composition dominated by praline and blackcurrant
- Lacks uniqueness and helped spawn a trend of similar powdery-sweet-floral fragrances
