Blind-buy Gem!
I saw this in my local Marshall's in a gift set (full-sized perfume, body wash, and lotion) for only $15. I returned it to the shelf and left the store, but I kept thinking about it. Marshall's usually doesn't have scents that I've never heard of!!! I went on to read up on reviews about it, and it contains some of my beloved perfume notes: orange blossom, amber, and musk. I was very intrigued about it because I had never seen nor heard of this perfume before and was worried that Marshall's would not continue to carry it. I ended up going back to buy it. It's a wonderful scent and such a steal!
The very first thing I smell upon application is the bergamot. I do not like bergamot, personally, but very quickly--within seconds--the orange blossom joins the party, and it is wondrous! I love the melding of the orange blossom into the ginger, and then the other florals join in, making this a gently spicy/sweet floral. It is really beautiful. It does have a bit of an oriental vibe, but I would not call this outright spicy. Amber and musk are strong supporting partners, and the drydown is delicious. I don't get much patch or cedar. Cedar turns tangy on me, and I don't experience an overload of that here.
Sadly, the performance of this gem is not very good. Sillage is barely within arms' length, and the longevity is maybe a couple of hours. These two facts keep this from being a 10 out of 10 for me.
But it is a very warm, resinous, and cozy scent while it lasts. It is best for the autumn and winter seasons and evenings out. But as the sillage is low, this could be a suitable fragrance for office, school, and church.
If you should find this for such a low cost, snap it up! It is definitely worth it.
