Just okay.

To anticipate my personal impression, I must say that I find the fragrance very very mediocre, especially when you consider the price/performance ratio.
When I first applied the fragrance, the first thing I could smell was a strong rose scent. This dominates the top note in my eyes and for the first 20 minutes you smell nothing else but the scent of a rose. In combination with the wood notes, which are only subliminally represented in the first time, the scent seems very dry to me at the beginning. Dry may describe it strangely, but it smells to me what it feels like to have a dry throat. Or like when some hairspray or deodorant was sprayed in a room that is too small and you notice it a little bit in your airways. This also gives me a rather synthetic impression of the perfume, although you would expect a natural scent of the fragrances used, which is absolutely the case with other TF fragrances After some time (about 30-60min) the fragrance developed a little more harmonious, a certain sweetness was added, which in my opinion would have been good in the opening note. However, this only lets the scent smell okay in my eyes. I can better imagine this initially rather dry rose scent and later a slightly sweeter harmonious scent on a lady who is looking for a classic scent for everyday life. As a young man I do not find the fragrance recommendable.
After a few hours I can still perceive the fragrance quite easily, which makes the durability seem okay to me, but which leaves a below average impression for such a high-priced fragrance.
All in all, I have often heard in everyday life how this scent really appeals to many people, but not to me personally after my test. However, it remains a matter of taste, of course, and I hope that my critical but objective contribution could be a help for someone who might weigh up the pros and cons to buy the scent.
