I've had my eye on this for awhile now (online, as it's not available in stores here in the UK, as far as I know!) and as I just started a new job and saw that it was still available on one of the Brit perfume sites I decided to treat myself to a bottle.
I love strawberry perfumes and have been mourning the loss of Fragonard's Juste un Baiser which, for some inexplicable reason, they seem to have discontinued despite it being, in my opinion, probably the best perfume they produced!
Anyway, so after reading so many good reviews of this perfume I knew that at some point I HAD to get a bottle of it, if it was still available on any websites here. To my delight, not only is it still available but also the price is surprisingly reasonable. So, I figured I had nothing to lose and ordered a big bottle of it last week . . .
Well, YAHOO! This perfume is LOVELY!! I got a gentle whiff of it around the neck of the bottle as I wrestled it out of the package when it arrived and hoped that it would smell just as nice once I spritzed a couple of drops on my wrist. Thank god it did smell as good and continued to for several hours! As Genny17 said, it's not a typical fruity perfume in that it's not sickly and reminiscent of some sugary fruit drink, like many fruity perfumes are at the moment, but although to my nose the strawberry note is quite bold it's fresh and sophisticated smelling, even elegant, so would be ideal for anyone who wants a fruity perfume but doesn't want to smell like a 13 year old schoolgirl! Having said that, I think it could be easily worn by girls / women pretty much of any age, young or old, as it's such a likeable, easy to wear and feminine perfume. My male friend LOVED this on me and also seemed to be extremely taken with the unusual Art Deco'ish bottle, which isn't so much to my taste but I suppose could be a 'grower' - the more I look at it the more I like it, although I doubt I'd ever love it as I'm not into Art Deco! Still, the bottle definitely catches the eye and stands out from more mundane ones!
Definetly perfect for romantic, Taugh and working women !
All in all, even though this doesn't smell like a dupe for my beloved Juste un Baiser, I REALLY like this perfume and could even see it becoming a 'go to' perfume for me. I just hope I can get more of it when I run out and am thinking of getting another big bottle of it as a backup!

Perfection
Oh My God !! I really Loved how feminine and warm and yet floral it was. But once it settled down, all I could keep smelling was Lady Million by Paco Rabanne.
Went home and sprayed on my Lady Million - and yup, the dry down is almost exactly the same on me.
It Last for 8hours for me.
Longevity is amazing though.
Recommended for adult, wise, classic and calm women. This one is made for them !!
