Wow, I was really surprised at how this smells. To me, it smells like a woman of the 50's. A era where ladies still lunched and wore wrist length white gloves. This is something I picture coming from a fancy atomizer crystal bottle. Very soft and old fashioned. At first sniff the rose really stood out to me. That is the most potent scent to me. Upon application I still have the rose as a dominant but I can definitely smell the myrrh and lily in the background. This scent is nice because the smell last without being too overwhelming. I'm really enjoying this ladylike scent. So far with the BPAL scents I have tried they smell on my exactly like they do in the bottle (no turning, knock on wood!) and this one is the same. Lovely, especially for someone who wants a old fashion classic floral scent with a hint of something mysterious.
