If you are looking for a soft floral or soft fruity sweet fragrance, this is not for you. It has a bold sophisticated floral fragrance that in my opinion that is anything but soft. I love this fragrance! It definitely has a scent which makes you feel put together, sexy, and in control. I would say it is a women's fragrance rather than a girls. I generally purchase light scented fragrances, but this one is a nice change of pace. Personally two squirts do the job for me and the scent is not overwhelmingly strong. After around 5 minutes I don't even notice it, but if I check for it, it is still present. The scent lasts well on the skin throughout the workday. Overall, a great quality fragrance!
