Oh, I so very much wanted to like this. I'm a fan of stargazer lily, which is what drew me to this description, and so I gambled on a large bottle, which did not pay off.
I liked it well enough at first, but like others, I just get walloped with the ROSE. It's underscored by something vaguely watery, probably the water blossom ivy, but not enough for me, sadly.
And boy did this ever linger... I applied some in the morning, and it stayed with me all day (to the point where I was getting a little self-conscious about it), through the evening, and I even caught a few ghostly whiffs after a shower.
To its credit, it is a terribly nostalgic scent. It reminds me of being a little girl and of friends I haven't seen in ages. For someone a bit more girly than I am, or a fan of rose, I'm sure this would be relatively heavenly, since while it's very much ROSE, it did stay pretty light and watery. I don't love rose, but this was actually kind of easy to tolerate; it never got into headache territory.
For my part, however, I don't want to have to tolerate my fragrances. I'm giving this one away and will be much more cautious with florals in the future.
