Very very very close to Armani Si indeed. Freesia, rose, woody notes and amber are the notes they have in common. I’m not sure if I distinguish the notes of praline or plum or passion-fruit in Always Red. Just pleasant fruity non-sticky sweetness in general. Very impressive longevity for an inexpensive perfume like that. On clothes the scent lasts for days. 3-4 sprays that I applied from the tester in the store on a sleeve of my jacket – and my closet smells like this perfume for almost a week now. On skin it lasted about 6-7 hours. Very nice! I would definitely buy Always Red if I didn’t have Armani Si already. No reason to have both of them at the same time since Always Red is pretty much an exact dupe for Armani Si. Si, however, smells a little more boozy (in a good expensive wine kind of way), rather than plain sweet.
But as for longevity – on clothes, Always Red outlasts Armani Si.

The blood orange note sets this apart from the crowds of chocolate sweet gourmands. Yes! I have been jonesing for a really good chocolate orange scent, and this could be it! Very unusual for an Elizabeth Arden offering. It has that soapy twang that I love in a perfume, probably from the jasmine, with warmth from the amber and noticeable wood.
I love Always Red and it’s not that expensive or hard to find, so no pressure to read too much into it. Yay. Just delicious.
bark-19 – :
It’s winter, maybe fall. No matter — it’s cold! You’re safely inside curled up by the fire with some hot cocoa, a big sweater and someone you love. This is the sort of vibe I get from Always Red. This is such a nice, warming scent, which I love to wear in winter and on colder autumn days. Its one flaw is that the plum note smells a wee bit artificial, but that’s easily overlooked (or oversmelled).
I certainly understand the comparisons to Si, though for some reason, maybe the packaging and campaign, I find this to be more of a winter fragrance: Si, to me, is an acknowledgement of the end of summer.
doorVad – :
Love when my wife wore it.
Notes that strike the most – Plum, Praline & Amber. Beautifully formed. Mamamia!! Kimochi!!
Similar to SI(sample) but AR last longer & plum slightly more prominent.
AR does have that vibe to LVE(Beast mode, I don’t recommend to Married Women – Go figure!!), but AR does project itself and last efficiently.
Cheaper than both, seriously I can buy 2 for the price of LVE, Tq God.
Recommendation – Test it from Top to Bottom. It’s a gem that needs time to appreciate.
In my rookie opinion(& all of the above), the best in Elizabeth Arden line.
ivan14130 – :
I ‘ve learned my lesson. I was too quick to add my two cents worth to these reviews. As this fragrance developed on me today, the praline made it’s appearance and I couldn’t be happier!
Thanks for bearing with me and I won’t be reviewing again unless I have something new to add to the conversation.
slonapotam – :
I bought this over the weekend at Marshalls because of the reviews here on Fragrantica. I’m really liking this, but on me the prominent notes are the plum, freesia, which is an interesting combination, somehow fresh to me, then as it dries down I can smell amber and mahogany with them. No praline at all on me and praline is usually dominant on my skin, what gives! Doesn’t matter though, because I love this as a fruity floral.
nikitozik – :
Seems like I’m at the right place for a “Red hype” here :)))
I could hardly tell this one apart with both Giorgio Armani Sì and Sì Intense. Very mature as a grown women fragrance, intense, dark, sexy, a little “smokey” (probably from the mahogany), and also beautifully sweet. I love the rose, praline and woody note in here a lot. I felt like I could skip dessert and just sniff my wrist instead. Always Red performs on my skin just like how Sì does. And it lasts and lasts. My husband came home and asked what I wore that smelled so good. He is the kind of guy who only gives compliments when something absolutely impresses him. So there you go 🙂
I found a steal deal on eBay for less than $20 for a 3.4 oz 100 ml, and I grabbed it. Everybody is happy :))
shved19751 – :
I am in LOVE! What a lovely scent. I have only been eyeing this for a few days because of reviews saying it resembles Sì. I fell in love with Sì on my coworker but I don’t dare to try it because of my previous patchouli-headaches. I don’t see that many similarities but they are both sweet but still somewhat dark seductive and sexy scents. Always Red almost gives me Opium (2009) vibes. Way sweeter and fruitier tho.
The plum is so beautiful in this. I love how the scent is fruity but not in an easy-going fun way but in a dark and sultry way. Does that make sense? I have only had it on for half an hour but the amber is already starting to shine through, so lovely. Not as sweet as I was afraid it would be. The praline isn’t very chocolatey to me and that’s positive in my opinion. So well blended, I have a hard time picking out the notes (but then again, I always do). I can say tho that the flowers are chilling in the background, at least on me.
Perfect for fall I’d say and good for winter as well but honestly… I will wear this on colder summer nights, I can’t wait until autumn.
I found myself a new love I think!
yurasik – :
today was a warm morning, with high humidity.i was feeling bold, and i bathed in this fragrance. before work, i visited a coffee shop, and while im adding my creamer and sugar a woman is pacing behind me and says, ‘its you!oh my gosh you smell soo good’ she then stirs her coffee and repeats, ‘yep, its you… wow’.
So my review is YES i am enjoying this fragrance.lol
Djambo – :
OMG i didn’t expect to love this this much! Very sexy perfume
Not excellent longevity but it’s good i wish it lasts longer. It reminds me so much of elie saab intense but this one is happier, does anyone agree?
lunatik-x – :
Absolutely reminiscent of Armani Si!! This isn’t a bad thing, I like it. I don’t own Si but have tested it and opted for the dupes from La Rive instead. I guess I’m a little bummed that I don’t get more praline but it is a very nice fragrance and a great alternative to Si for way less ($17 at Ross for the large bottle). Happy with this (educated) blind buy but probably won’t repurchase since I currently have 3 full bottles of good, various Si alternatives..! 🙂
Metqj982intitytek – :
Exact copy of Si! I picked up a gift set on final clearance at Marshalls for $6! This is WAYYY too fruity for me, however I might use this for cold nights occasionally if I ever am in the mood. It smells extremely dessert-like, which I personally am not a fan of, but I still enjoy the smell of it from the bottle. The passion fruit is super prominent. It reminds me of one of those bubble tea shops. Syrupy sweet.
Вадим Байов – :
There’s something very TM “Alien” about this scent.. yet, not quite. Much sweeter..
I can’t give a full review yet, as I’ve only had it on for 15-20 minutes, but I can tell you that the initial stink every time I try this doesn’t completely turn me off. Each time I get fonder of it (have sprayed this maybe 5 times before this). However, that first blast is sickeningly artificial sweet and not something I am enjoying.
It’s about 20 minutes and the scent is changing again.
For a moment it started to smell like the ink in those scented pens/markers we had in the 80s/90s. Gross (for perfume), but it’s changing again and I am making out the florals, especially the jasmine – but not in an overpowering way.
This seems to be a very well blended scent. I can see myself converting to a lover, it hasn’t happened yet, but perhaps tonight is the night.
Anyone testing this, give it a few chances and don’t write it off at initial toxic blast.
This is not something I would normally smell and buy on the spot, got the bottle second hand and I can definitely see the potential in it for a new love.
**THIS IS NOT A SAFE BLIND BUY!!**
(coming from someone who thinks nearly everything is a safe blind buy!)
If I remember, I will come back to update.
SpalCillPrare – :
This does smell like Si, but with Halle Berry Reveal the Passion mixed in. That’s where it gets the creamy and musky quality. After several hours my clothes have that Gucci Guilty baby hamper smell.
ImmenCymnpync – :
Very very similar to Armani Si. If you’re looking for a cheaper dupe then here it is. A little bit more syrupy and fruity but the essence is the same. I can’t wear it every day because it is quite cloying but it is a really great scent for a really great price!
nilamma – :
This smells so dark and sensual. Its what you might expect a deep dark glass of wine to smell like, without the alchohol smell. Deep dark fruits and a little sweetness. It has very good longevity and sillage. I will rebuy this.
shepelsky – :
Beautiful fragrance! Very sexy and sensual, definitely for colder months and more for evening than daytime. I absolutely adore good quality, strong perfumes and this one it’s amazing! Very long lasting as well, I will always keep it in my collection.
SashkaVD – :
It smells exactly like Armani Si Intense – i own both perfumes, and i like both 😀
hanter06 – :
This fragrance is wonderful. At first oat a bit strong but then it transforms into this lovely veil of scent. The dry down is outstanding and lasts 24+hours. I am define rely keeping this in my fall/winter rotation.love this
Alexeyi4 – :
Today I’ve got 6 perfumes on
And I’ve been told I smell amaaaazing
This one is not like red door, you’re safe ( not a red door fan here)
It might have very faint red door DNA but nothing that offends me, and red door offends all my senses bar visual.
Deep sweet warm possibly a scent that your mum would wear. This opinio was given by someone in their twenties and they liked a Tommy Hilfiger I had on over all the others.
The dry down is still semi sweet/warm but dry in a sense. I liked all the notes. It was a bit more floral in composition than always red femme which I’ve also got on.
It’s rounded, nothing harsh to my nose
SONYA – :
I absolute love this one. Something about it reminds me of Lush. I love the smell of so many Lush products and this perfume is like all those scents I love all in one. Sweet, Lush and really long lasting. It seriously smells like walking by a Lush store in the mall.
stas9207 – :
I like this. It does smell like fruit punch, but thicker and more syrupy. From the notes I get blood orange and a very sweet sticky amber. I usually dislike perfumes with praline, but it’s alright in this. This is a great gift for a teenager, and is suitable for all ages as long as elegance is not an objective.
chislovmet – :
I don’t think this smells like Armani Sì.
I tested it on a paper strip and actually recoiled from it. Fruit punch with spices and wine. Lots of wine. Sticky, sugary, sour wine. Like the smell of a really bad night with too much booze and no hook-up. I put the paper down and went to check out better things.
…and found myself inexplicably returning to the paper in question every few minutes until I noticed that I had in fact bought a bottle and sprayed it all over myself.
To me it IS wine, and spices, and sugary-sour. Sangria, perhaps? The thing is I love it. I want to bathe in it. The opening is horrendous but 10 minutes down the line this is summer and happiness and parties and sparkles on my skin. This is glorious.
zerol – :
I went on a shopping spree lately to cheer myself up, because this year has been a tough year for me and my family..the day I got Always Red I received a piece of great news..I find this fragrance pretty magical..
I love the red packaging, it’s a statement of style, confidence and power..
The scent is modern, but also classic..the longevity is fantastic..it also reminds me of the scent of lipsticks my mum put on my lips when I was in primary school..I didn’t wear makeup every day as a child, but mum would do my makeup for special family events or a lovely day out..
So Always Red to me is a very glamorous and confident scent..it smells like someone with a sexy makeup on if it makes sense..It’s my favorite right now in this Winter season 🙂
turdiev timur – :
I seen this scent mentioned by a Youtuber that its a sweet oriental. So strangely enough I just seen in local TJ Maxx, $20 for lotion and edt set so it went home with me. Me and those blind buys lol
I just sprayed it and so far I am REALLY liking it. I love gormands but I am really burned out with all the current ones right now so I wanted floral oriental but maybe a bit spicier than what I usually go for. So far, it seem to fit the bill.
This hits you with plum and blood orange right away. Reminded me of now discountinued Kimmora Lee Simpsons Fabulosity.
I also tried the lotion and to me its not as good-its too soft and not fragranced enough. something about it, I didn’t care for. Oh well
I smelled Si long time ago and I don’t recall it smelling like Always Red. But I will have to see how it wears and will report back. To be continued
romaizvamu – :
It’s the first time I thought “this is a perfect smell for me”. It has warm, happy smell, not heavy or unpleasant as lots of perfumes are that I get headaches from. It’s the first time I liked sweet perfume, because all the notes are composed well… this perfume made me know myself better as if I didn’t try it, I’d never say this kind of sweet perfume is more of my taste than any refreshing I’ve ever had.
smsclub – :
A great cross between old and new schools. Has a signature smell potential. Warm but not stuffy. Present all the time but not arrogant.
Idiowereerurl – :
Arden scents can be hit or miss for me in terms of quality/performance but this one hits it right out of the ball park! First, I’m a huge blood orange fan and I have never smelled it like this before, layered over plum, jasmine sambac, praline, amber and woods. Always Red is a rich and heavy gourmand floral that may not be for everyone but could have been made for me.
There is something almost dirty and masculine in there somewhere. The silage is incredible. LOVE!
siny22 – :
Damn ! Why so many bad reviews?
I think this is the BEST Red Door offering to date.
torovin – :
Yuck. Very glad I tested this before buying. I get no praline. I get no amber. What I get from this is mostly the blood orange. The scent is pretty interesting, but it dries down to what smells like fruit punch.
Oleggutsalo – :
This is The best one of The two always red. Playful lighthearted and sensual, a independent woman who knows what she wants and moves towards that goal, with a delightful carefree nonchalance. Only minding her own business and people are drawn to her without not really understand why..
I Love it!!! Want it for christmas!!!!!
david.200 – :
Your honesty is so refreshing Tahirakathun!
Go Girl Power 🙂
I too love this perfume and I am officially an “old lady” next year. Granted my days of testing all the boys are well and truly over, however adorned in this magical potion anything seems possible as it always attracts compliments from the males in my circle.
I do get the Si comparison, Always Red is perhaps a tad more tart on my skin. I love it. It’s modern, fresh, daring, deep and delectable.
One of my favourite acquisitions this year.
1975mark – :
I’m a young and wild teenager, I love testing all boys, I don’t settle down with one xD my lipstick is Always red indeed, this perfume is just pure seduction in my eyes. Everyones just comparing it to other perfumes but look at it for what it is guys. Its fruity floral with such deep spices, its so sexy young and rich. I just love it, and boys just love it.
art170790 – :
This is a great dupe
For Sí but I would add that it is a sweeter version of Sí! So yummy!
dima80 – :
I adore this perfume! Can’t stop wearing nor can I keep my 24, 26 and 28 yr old daughters out of it when they come over.
I can smell the base notes very strong immediately when I spray it all the way to the dry down. The base notes of mahogany, red amber and praline bust out along with the fruit and florals all together at first spray. In the dry down I do get a hint of sour, but not at all as much as some of the other reviewers stated. Infact I hardly noticed it until I read the other reviews about it and then I looked for it. This perfume is beautiful! Just beautiful through and through! It’s like as soon as I spray it, I just got a great big warm, sweet, woodsy hug!
The sillage is great! I get lots of complements when I wear this and it last for hours on my skin and clothes. I may reapply just to freshen it up but it’s really not necessary. I just like to feel the beginning strong hug all over again just because I love it so much.
I don’t get a cigarette smell “at all” like the review before mine stated. Stripper…mmmaybe yes and no! More like an extremely expensive (catering to the rich and famous) call girl.LOL! Not a cheap smell whatsoever! Noooo, not at all! It’s smells AMAZING!
danut – :
It smells like a stripper – I mean; very sweet, like bodysplash mixed with the smell of cigarettes. But sometimes you need a perfume like that. It’s comfortable, I wear it every now and then and it reminds me of the hot sunny day that I bought it.
gekkka – :
It’s CRAZY how similar this is to Si! Maybe a little sweeter but it’s almost a dupe so if you already have Si you don’t need this.
Ришка – :
Deep, sultry, rich scent that lasts forever. I am wearing it in the summer heat, and so far I am loving it.
ebx135speagoessenda – :
I think it’s terrible. Very strong and cloying praline note, overly woody and ambery. There’s also tropical notes in it, that smell just weird.
Something about it is dirty smelling.
I can’t even decide, if it’s sweet or bitter.
Horrific.
Kjdti1884 – :
I was at their counter smelling different bottles, trying to pick something for the wifey, when i came across this little gem. I’m a rose lover myself, so i took a squirt on the wrist, and …ooooh my, i was diggin’ this scent. Floral, and rose, with a bit of dark woody amber,. Totally a bit femenine at first some may say, (although im starting not to use labels of ‘masculine or femenine’ ) but the dry down was great! I could see this as being unisex, especially for a confident man. I asked for sample and im gonna play around with this guy to layer it with something else. Im thinking about layering this with mfk ‘a la rose’ or with mfk aqua universalis forte. Also, as for longevity, im getting whiffs of this on my wrist after 3 hours, its not projecting as strong as i wish,..but i only did 1 spray on the top of my wrist. Im sure that if i do more sprays in key areas i will get better projection!
varietas – :
When I saw the article for this new fragrance last summer, I scoffed at the stupid ad campaign and immediately forgot about it. Recently, I was at Macy’s trying to find something else, and on my way out of the store, this bottle caught my eye, so I decided to try it. It seemed pleasant enough, but I wasn’t sold on it right away; I accidentally got some on my hands while I was spraying a card, so as I was visiting some of the other stores I kept smelling this and trying to figure out where the beautiful scent was coming from. On my way home, I figured out that the smell was coming from my hands, and that it was Always Red. I went online that night and ordered a 100ml bottle for about $30, and I’ve been wearing this a lot recently. I think what I like about it is the way it surprised me. I never thought I would love or even really like anything from the Elizabeth Arden line, and I don’t like any of the scents this is supposed to be similar to. This scent is not particularly complex, but it is long lasting, and I think the star of the show here is an almost narcotic jasmine that holds the composition together, and makes this perfume a true floriental. Ultimately, while this isn’t groundbreaking or destined to become a classic, it is definitely nicer than I expected, and I am glad I took a second look after initially dismissing it.
DiptSeepOpExt – :
I apologize, I’m going to be blunt. This is my subjective opinion and I don’t mean to offend anyone who likes this scent (or others that I mention). My criticism applies more to the industry as a whole.
I tested a couple of sample vials. This is a cloying and nondescript fragrance that starts out sickly sweet and turns teeth-jarringly sour during its short lifespan. I fail to see the point of these boring releases nowadays; they bring nothing new or remotely interesting to the table. On me, this smells almost exactly the same as LVEB, La Nuit Tresor and Ricci L’Extase, just to mention a few. Of course the manufacturers are first and foremost out to make us hand over our money, so why would they change the winning formula, but still… What a pity. 🙁
Micarmelita – :
I’ve tried this twice on my skin while at my local perfume counter. I love it at first, but within about half an hour, it turns very sour smelling on my skin. Now, this is very unusual for me. In fact, I can’t think of it ever happening before. It loses all it’s pleasant sweetness, and it almost smells skunk-like.
I’d thought I’d end up with a bottle, as I love the initial smell, and how it smells on paper, and I just don’t know why this does this on me.
Also, I have Armani Si, and Si doesn’t turn on me like this does. I’m not sure I find them that similar, but quite a few reviews here do, and Always Red has a cheaper price point. For me, I’ll stick to Si, as it doesn’t turn into a skunk bomb on me.
greewusaste – :
Very sweet and tasty, especially on skin. It even made my mouth water!
Started quite fruity and oriental. Very warm and comforting. Like a chocolate spice cake with a jammy filling. Dried down a touch sour on the fruit, but the florals came out a bit more (I’m quite chuffed with myself, I noted that down before checking the notes on here)
Warm and cosy. Perfect for curling up by a wood fire on a winters evening. Not so good for daytime. Quite heady, and heavy, outdoors it smelt a touch too artificial for my tastes – more like a (lovely) scented candle than a personal fragrance.
Very nice, if you have the occasion to wear it.
назаров – :
Oh my… such a lovely scent! Definitely a floriental, with a slight gourmand feel. Not so gourmand that it’s sickly sweet, but just enough to smell yummy. What sticks out to me is the jasmine. This reminds me of Modern Muse Rouge, but with a gourmand note. If that praline note wouldn’t be in there, I would swear that I’m smelling MM Rouge!
kerb-m – :
This is acutally not bad! I got lured in by the deep red bottle, so I tested it yesterday and it lasted a long time on my skin to be an EDT concentration. I had hoped it would be a little darker considering it’s got praline, woods and plum in the mix, but it’s a fruity, cheery scent reminding me a lot of Armani Sì.
A good one, but I wouldn’t purchase it because I already own “Sì” and I find them too similar to eachother.
arafat – :
I am quite disbelieving that myself with a severe phobia of gourmand fragrances iis I am quite fond of this scent. This is quite musky, deep and has a leathery note which I love, it starts out quite cough-syrupy and heavy fruity plum-jam like but give it time to pass, at first I really disliked the opening but after a few minutes a beautiful fragrance surrounds you. This has a leathery/orangey honey like blossom base which reminds me of Armani Code a little bit and the praline/passionfruit note give it a resemblance to Red Pearl to my nose. These notes are sweet, but the chocolate is a creamy powdery sort of sweetness which is warm and not sickening like most chocolate. The praline It gives it a slight hazel-nuttiness and it is very addictive. The passionfruit gives it a tangy mouthwatering aroma. Definitely not what I expected, I expected a weaker generic fruity floral. Definitely not really a flanker of good old red-door either, a completely different scent altogether. Lasting power – I find it fantastic for the price and this is a wonderful day scent which is easily layered with the body cream for night. A pleasant surprise! I purchased it after one sniff, however it is a tad to sweet for my liking so I passed it onto a friend and she also loves it.
Djcnjxysq – :
Always Red bears an uncanny resemblance to Kors by Michael Kors. I still have a bottle of Kors and I was surprised how similar they are. So if you have been looking for a fragrance that smells like this discontinued gem, Always Red is it.
brodaga – :
I have just smelled this today and I have to say that it is so different from the original red door which I used to like but not anymore I now find it quite overpowering. Always Red on the other hand is a pleasant surprise for me as I think it is lovely it isn’t the usual one I’d go for to be honest however there is just something about this one I like I think it is the blood orange. I love pretty hot and green tea from EA as well I have to say that I think this is the best of the red door flankers but actually I wouldn’t call it a flanker really as it to me is the polar opposite of red door and it has it’s own particular set of notes nothing like red door which is great as I prefer Always Red by a country mile nice going EA I give it a 9/10
1998 oleg – :
This spray in no way reminds me of Red Door, I LOVE the scent of this perfume. Very rich and creamy to me. The down side, no lasting power on my skin. I tend to have that problem with any toilette spay. If I’m lucky I get 1hr of scent. I do wish it had more staying power because the smell is awesome.
komrad-2011 – :
This is a lovely fragrance, it’s not too strong and headache inducing upon initial spray.! In my opinion this is a combination of Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir and GA Si . I tested it and got almost exact results. The Always Red lasted on me 7+ hours. Very nice
v017xx – :
I tried this at my local pharmacy in New Zealand this week. Initially the SA said you have to wait until the alcohol burns off – not a good comment or start of a sales pitch. She had put the body cream on one arm and gave me the paper swatch to smell. I could not smell anything. I then asked for a spray on the arm without the cream. Again, no scent. It was only about 1.5 hours later that I could smell the base notes on my arm. The body cream never smelt. However on paper it came to fullness the next day. Sweet and fruity with a tiny bit of woods. My husband said “I don’t like I”.
Unfortunately that was my reaction too. Seeing we get the European version I have no doubt it lacks whatever potential our American friends may find.
Another one bites the dust, due to European restrictions.
Direphery – :
fell in love with this today. a better version of armani si! its beautiful, it does smell like si but this isn’t overwhelming like that can be, its so so nice. much more well done & another great scent by EA
sidste – :
Though classified as an oriental floral, it’s very much a sophisticated fruity floral, sweet feminine, lusciously lovely. I absolutely love this scent. I just happened by the Elizabeth Arden counter and sampled, I was nicely shocked, it’s so modern and light. Definitely get all the fruit, very berry almost fizzy but scintillating. Richly red, very thick glass bottle. Very fruity berry off the top, softening to a fizzy musky warmth, not dirty or woody. It’s crisp and soft at the same time. It’s high on my BUY list. I’m not surprised though, Mr Benaim has created a few of my favorites, my gorgeous euphoria blossom echoes inside this masterpiece.
dobrodey – :
I didn’t even know this existed! I’m not a fan of Red Door, so I hardley ever visit the Elizabeth Arden counter. I’ve only ever had two of their fragrances. So, it’s not the counter I go to first. I went to the shop to get something new for myself (I’ve been having a bad week) and the Sales Assistant let me sniff this. When I saw the bottle I thought ‘another Red Door flanker, really?!’. But it isn’t. It’s a fragrance on it’s own. And I adore it! I didn’t buy it that day, I left with something else, but couldn’t stop thinking about Always Red. So, I went back, tested it on my skin to see what happens & my skin fell in love – so did my nose! To me this is very much like Armani Si (I don’t know if anyone else gets this) and a much cheaper version too 🙂 It also lasts super long!
gerta666 – :
I tried this in the store and sprayed it on my neck and wrists
The weather was hot and muggy and the fragrance projected really well lasted about 3-4hrs.
I did smell the sweet orange,jasmine and thick amber gour man base..mmm I couldn’t stop smelling it .it’s a happy fragrance.I do want to buy this asap! I could easily wear this everyday as it lasts a long time
In the drugstore here in Canada it’s $60 though. The sizes look all the same.
Is it available to order online anybody know?
Maike – :
Just tried it in the store and it is very very nice! Warm and with depth this is like a floral oriental with a real dreamy dry down.
More grown up too and more suited for cold weather too
The blood orange gives it a warm undertone
I might not get all the notes and only tried from the tester but first impression is that it smells great!!
OceaceShiessy – :
Why don’t we wait to test before judging.
Can’t wait to try.
