Your comments made me curious, and since there was a Douglas Sale, I thought I couldn't go wrong.

At home, when I applied it, I wasn't sure if it was really worth it.

It starts off quite sharp and spicy. I immediately notice mandarins, but they are not sweet. Overall, it smells cinnamon-like and herbaceous fruity. After half an hour, I enjoy the scent, with my nose glued to my wrist. Later, the fragrance becomes softer and more enveloping.

I find it fits well with the current season. All day long, I feel pleasantly refreshed, yet it is also a very feminine scent.

I don't perceive the longevity as very strong. After about six hours, I can only smell it faintly. It is ideal for everyday wear and work, but too quiet for going out.

My fiancé also enjoys smelling it on me, as he is not a fan of sweet perfumes.

Worn at work, a colleague poked her head into the office and said it smelled like freshly baked rolls... it's always interesting how scents are perceived. :)

I must correct the longevity: it withstands a long workday, including overtime, with flying colors.

Please don't stone me, this is my first comment.

This was my first "expensive" fragrance, I was 16 when I bought it and fell head over heels in love immediately.

I perceive the scent as warm and sensual, vanilla-heavy and also woody-spicy. It envelops me like a cozy cloud and I feel very comfortable with it all day long.

I also think I can sniff out a licorice note, which I really like.

I prefer to use Hypnose in the cold season, as I find it quite heavy. The longevity is good, even in the evening while showering, I can still smell it clearly.

One shouldn't use too much, I had the misfortune of spending a three-hour car ride next to a friend who had generously sprayed herself with it. Pure headache -_-

Overall, it is a very warm and soft fragrance that I would buy again and again.

For over three years, it was my signature scent, I really love it. I recently sprayed it again, but instead of euphoria, it brought back memories of a past love... It's a shame in this case that scents are so often associated with people/chapters of life...
