From the female side of the family. I've tried this fragrance and it's not for me -- but at the same time, it is entirely what it claims to be, and that is why I give it 5 stars. There's nothing like a perfume or "eau de toilet" (as this is), to divide the reviews. Some love it -- "my go-to fragrance! 5 stars." Some hate it and give it 1. The thing is, perfume is about the most personal thing you can choose.
