Another wrote: "Really lovely perfume, I find it to be a beautiful smell without being overpowering. It lasts a long time on me, the bottle is so cute too." A third added: "Lovely daytime scent. Has notes of berries, floral, musk and vanilla. The bottle is, in my opinion, elegant and chirpy. I love the little red dot on top."
One three-star review noted: "Ok for the price. Good value as purchased in the sale, it's my least favourite of all the Marc Jacobs fragrances."
