The smell is fantastic. I love it. It is strong and lasts for a long time. I don't use this as a daily but rather on special occasions. It is also perfect for the guest bathroom to really make your overnight guests feel special. I feels great on the skins and doesn't create any rashes or irritation. A little goes a long way. You can always use a little bit after you already soap off with a non-frangrance soap first and just have this wonderful smell for hours after. It doesn't rinse completely off easily. Instead it leaves a silky feeling on your skin. I believe it is also the key to the long lasting smell. If it doesn't bother your skin, you can rinse lightly and have a longer lasting fragrance.
