I received this fragrance as a gift on Mother's day from my sweethearts .Needless to say I was overjoyed to see them putting in so much effort to make me happy. They added a personalised note to the gift too !
Price - Rs 849/- for 125 ml
Presentation - It comes in a cylindrical tall glass bottle with a golden top .
It claims to have top notes of Lavender leaves, Neroli and clary sage , Middle notes of Lavender oil and geranium and base notes of sandalwood ,tonka beans and musk .
1. The price is very affordable .
2. It has good longevity ,one would think that a cheap perfume may not last long but this one does last 3-4 hours easily even in hot summer season .
3. A moderate sillage (diffusion power).
4. A nice floral Fougere perfume , like freshly cut grass ,great for summers .Can be worn as Night fragrance too .It has strong and sharp notes of Lavender probably because of the lavender oil , I can only smell lavender,geranium and musk though .
1. It has a very sharp smell , and it does not dilute over time ,so I generally stick to one spray or two .
2. It is a unidimensional perfume , not complex , not layered .Though some may like it because it stays true with the passage of time .
3. For some strange reasons it gives me an old woman feel !
FINAL VERDICT - I rate it a 3.5/5 .A pocket friendly,long lasting perfume worth trying .

I quite like it.. it actually lasts long..!
ReplyDeleteYeah Aditi, even I was amazed at its lasting power .
DeleteWill try this one. Have tried Yardley deos in the past.
ReplyDeleteWell the deos are quite different than the EDT , you might like the EDT better if you like the deo.
DeleteOld woman feel.. Ahh, shall chose some other from the array of available perfume categories then;)..
ReplyDeleteOn second thoughts, maybe you should try and tell me if you too feel like that or it's just dear old me !
DeleteI feel this perfume has a similar aroma like the powder.
ReplyDeleteBut stronger and longer lasting as expected.
DeleteI somehow tend to stay away from EDTs. I am more of an EDP type of person.However when loved ones gift something like this, I cherish it forever! Waiting for the day when my daughter would give me Mothers Day gifts!
