BEST EVER!
This fragrance is very personal. How you experience it, depends upon your skin and your nose. I do go anosmic, "noseblind" to it, on my skin. But, other people definitely still smell it, when I think it's gone. I get compliments all day. I bought it blind, because I like all the notes. Luckily I love the perfume. But, it's a pricey blind buy.
What does it smell like? Well, like nothing I've ever smelledI(except the subsequent dupes and clones). To me, it's sweet, but not cloying. Spicy, but not overpowering. I find it warm and comforting, like I want to wear it, in Autumn. Though, it is light enough for year round wear. On first sniff, I fell in love. I haven't been this enchanted with a fragrance, in YEARS.
As far as the Extrait, that one is not my thing. Its not bad. But the almond note is just too sweet, for me. Contrary to belief, it is not, "stronger" or longer lasting. It wears very close to the skin. It doesn't project like the EDP does. It is a deeper, richer scent. Versus the EDP, which more transparent. Perhaps that is why some people think it is strong/better. Totally a personal choice. Sample both, before you buy. Which brings me full circle, to the beginning of my review--This fragrance is personal. I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. But, everyone has a different experience, with it. I LOVE it. Some of my friends LIKE it. Some of my friends just think, MEH, IT'S OKAY. But, no one I know flat out doesn't like it.
