Perfume is very personal. I prefer scents that are earthy, clean, hints of citrus.  This scent comes out very strong and very rose scented.  I don't like it straight out of the bottle, but I do like it.  My grandmother used rose scented soaps, and this smells like her hands, and I miss her, so I  both love and dislike the initial scent.  The lasting aura is softer, vanilla and rose and ambergris (which reminds me of a Bob's Burgers episode). Perfume is personal, and how a perfume smells on you is personal.  If you enjoy the smell of roses, this might be a real hit with you.  This is not really my scent, but I find myself wearing it regularly because it really does remind me of the soap in my grandmother's home, and I miss her. Scent can take you places, remind you of things, set the tone.  Pick something that is distinctly you.
