Customer Reviews Praise the Scent

Another fan shared: "I smelt this on a colleague and ordered immediately. Beautiful scent- love it." A third reviewer noted: "Had seen many people reviewing this product on socials and just had to try it for myself- it's so beautifully packaged and the smell is incredible."
Longevity Concerns Noted
However, some reviews mention that the perfume does not last long. One shopper wrote: "What a smell! I bought it after reading about it in The Times. Smell is just amazing but sadly doesn't last very long. I mix it with another fragrance and they work well together."
