Not for me, but maybe for thee
It's a really nice perfume, don't get me wrong! In warmer weather, it tends to have a "buttery gardenia" note, as user IrinaSpalko put it. It smells milky and floral, like you took gardenias and put it next to lactose-free milk and room-temperature butter. There is a slight fruitiness to it but I find it to be vague and not particularly identifiable. In colder weather, I've noticed that the patchouli comes out more, which turned me away from it for a while. The patchouli also comes out more after about 4 hours, about where the butter starts going into the background. It would be a very yummy smell if not for the patchouli.
On my skin, it has very strong projection. I specifically only do one spray on one wrist, gently tap my wrists together, and *avoid getting perfume anywhere else* -- it lingers for unholy amounts of time. It lasts so long, I have showered twice and still been able to smell it! Definitely be careful with it!
