I was a bit sceptical as Eau de Toilette has a tendency to loose its fragrance quickly but I was delighted to learn that Eau De Rochas was still going strong for at least 8 hours. I love fragrance and usually purchase the Parfum because of it tends to last longer. This fragrance is a light and refreshing mixure of citrus and florals with a hint of oakmoss, amber, sandlewood, and musk. You do not need to spray on heavy to achieve its tantilizing effect. Can be used for everyday casual as well as romantic effect day or night. The elegant but simple clear "crystal" design gives it a very retro but also modern look that the French do very well. I would definitely purchase this for myself or for a gift.
