NOT a fruity-floral for a change
I received a free tester of this one some months ago and must say that I was pleasantly surprised. At least this scent is NOT a fruity-floral for a change, since Dita said in an interview that she hated fruity and overtly girly fragrances. She wanted her scent to smell "glamorous". Well, in order to come across as glamorous as the usual adversiting blurp suggests, this perfume would need some better ingredients. The ideas behind it (Bulgarian rose, pepper, patcouli etc.) aren't bad at all, but the excecution is coarse and the fragrance smells a bit cheap, but not in the least worse than offerings by mainstream companies which charge much more (I'm thinking of Gucci Guilty or of Burberry, for example). Staying power is above average, after 4hs, the scent still lingers in the air and on my skin.
Btw, the smallest bottle in the line (20 ml) does not stand upright, but slips into any handbag easily. I think it's pretty, btw. The larger flacon with the ball atomizer is hard to handle and isn't practical.
