    What a beautiful cologne type fragrance done in a traditional manner with the added notes of pear & rice. I do get the pear which smooths out this fragrance & the rice note is there which gives this fragrance that IT factor & sets it apart from others in this type.
    One would be pressed to find a more suited, unique fragrance of this type that gives off a more unique & interesting ensemble. I salute Creed for this fragrance as everything you wear does not need to shout HEY I AM HERE! Longevity seems to be about 5 hours or so on me, projects arms length for a while. Check it out.

    One of the best summer scents that money can buy. Instant compliment getter. Fresh and clean citrus smell like no other. 10/10

    Initial smell was unmistakably citrusy more lime to me than lemon. Went back for another whiff it turned a bit more grassy now, and there was something ALMOST flowery in the background that I can’t point my finger to…I say ALMOST flowery because it is not really a flowery scent in the traditional sense but it’s likely neroli and galbanum equally balanced…so maybe mossy? I love powdery scents but this isn’t really one of them…maybe 1%? Definitely something my mom would appreciate, or anyone in their early 40’s or playful 50’s

    This is a (very) short lived, feminine white floral ensemble with well rounded green pear and balanced citrus landing softly on a powdered rice note that leaves the faintest impression of crisp linen, clear skies and the view of a blue and white striped awning overlooking a sun bleached bay in Tuscany at springtime.
    BUT…Like a lot of Creed fragrance batches post 2012 (based on other reviews/personal experience), the original formulation/s (of many-not just PWC) appears altered/half strength or just plain different from the beloved originals.
    This is like homeopathic rice paper for the senses,there’s only a fraction of a percent of potency to it; and with too much of an attempt to take it in, it’s gone. Broken up and dissipated before it can even register. It’s quite simply not really there.
    I have had similar experiences with certain Creed fragrances/batches on several occasions and don’t necessarily buy into the whole ‘olfactory fatigue/natural & seasonal ingredients affecting the final product’ theory-it’s an ill-conceived argument when one is presented with such a delightful composition at obvious half or even quarter strength.
    Final thoughts: It’s very beautiful, it’s very floral, it’s very feminine and it’s very very soft to the point of being hard to detect as a skin scent on application and (sadly) isn’t remedied by over-spraying.If money is no object and you have K9/feline olfactory senses and a penchant for feminine white florals, this one’s for you.

    after months of testing i got a bottle (the new one which is smaller). the opening is citrus (neroli maybe or lime) with a green – herbal note and stays like this till the end. Its also said to be more suitable for summer. and that is weak.
    But…
    3 sprays last 8 hours at least. its noticable to 3 meters also. i do know if i could find anything else so classy and easy to wear. a poem in a bottle. its NOT similar to anything else. clean, sexy like you just came out of the shower. its a Creeds masterpiece.
    sillage : 7 to 10 (classy sents can never be loud)
    longevity : 8 το 10
    price : οh my God….!!!!

    I don’t spend a ton of money fragrances, but I had to buy this one immediately after smelling it at Neiman Marcus last weekend. I Don’t care how ridiculously over-priced it is. This is the best thing that I have ever smelled in my entire life. Hands down. Beautiful calming clean citrus smell. It’s unlike anything else I’ve tried. I don’t find this one to be overly floral or feminine as the notes on this site may suggest. I get very good longevity and projection on this one.

    I find myself getting very defensive about this one and even territorial because it’s my signature scent and I love it just that much. This is not a fragrance of white flowers. I, myself, don’t care for white flowers. This is a clean, citrus-based fragrance.

  9. :

    5 out of 5

    I had super high expectations for this one, however, when I sprayed it, it was WAY too feminine.
    It’s way too much into the white florals.
    You can tell it is very high quality, but I was so disappointed on how feminine it smells.

    Finally after 30 years of exploration of fragrances (over 400 bottles) I have eventually found my signature scent, and this fragrance is heavenly.

  11. :

    5 out of 5

    Stunningly beautiful. I have no words to describe how this fragrance catches my whole heart when smelling its middle note until its base note. I don’t like its top note that much, however. Frankly, I had to wait until its middle note to decide purchasing full bottle, and with it I had no reason why I must not buy it, even though it required such non-sence expensive money.

  12. :

    I chose this as my signature now, partially based on a co-worker saying that she thought of this as my signature scent.
    The other reasons are highlighted in my review below. It’s such a great fragrance, and it hits the spot in terms of smell, longevity, projection, and overall feel. Considering my bottle is from 2011, my only fear is that new batches won’t be as good or long lasting. It’s a 250 ml though, and it doesn’t look like much fragrance is being used in one spray (it looks like I’ve barely used it). Two sprays are still enough, and it lasts all day.
    Compliments every time I use it as well (still after several hours). It’s not something I demand from a fragrance, but it’s always nice to hear.

    This smells very very nice. It is simple and clean. It is pure and it is just smells of that clean luxurious smell. The two biggest negatives are the longevity and the price. I don’t talk about price too much unless something is outrageously expensive, but this whole line from Creed is over priced and I believe is not even a parfum. I am very disappointed in this part of it. I do really like the smell, so the fragrance is is simple elegant and clean. Maybe that is why it is so nice, bc it doesn’t try to hard. A simple elegant fresh and clean cologne. Again, I the prices are just out of wack, $545 for 2.5 ounces and $985 for 8.4 ounces.

    Probably it is the weakest creed fragrance BUT the smell is fantastic. It is a nice natural citrus fruity scent suitable for summer. Pure white cologne is a fragrance that I wear it for myself and not to announce it for everybody. If you want something similar and stronger I recommend Aqua Vitae Forte by Francis Kurkdjian .

    Beautiful beatiful scent
    Problem is, I sprayed a bit on my arm and could not notice it in 30 minutes.
    Initially, it projects amazingly, within 30-40 minutes, it suddenly fizzles out 🙁
    Given the price, I’d say that its not worth it.

    Beautiful summer fragrance. Similar to Acqua Di Parma’s Mirto Di Panarea.

    5 out of 5

    True story right here. I went to New York City and hit the Creed Boutique. The Man Behind the Counter sprayed 10 sprays on me. No lie. It didn’t last a full two hours. I will compare this to that person who is super hot and can’t kiss.

    a very nice summer fragrance, fresh clean…truly a royal exclusive

  19. :

    3 out of 5

    CITRUS + FRUIT
    Beautifully blended with a soft subtlety. Not the least bit harsh or typical of most citrus scents. (For this price tag – I should hope not.)
    For a rich, clean everyday scent – I’d reach first for Himalaya.

  20. :

    5 out of 5

    a very nice cologne, neroli is noticeable the first minutes, a sharp green/floral. Then the pear slowly crawls into the composition. But it’s not the typical sweet, syrupy and heavy pear. This one is like the real fruit. And I think that note is what sets apart pure White Cologne from other traditional colognes.
    I tested on me but I also give a sample to my brother, first he said he smelled nice. After 5 minutes he said: wow, this really smells good!
    The price point makes it a luxury item, and not everybody can spend $545 on a 75ml perfume. But you can find samples for $12 or less. Luckyscent have right now a Royal Exclusives samples (5) for $30. And in general Creed fragrances have good longevity, so a sample might last you a while,

    Thought I’d wear this for a while before writing anything. I started using this in late autumn and throughout the colder months.
    On my skin it lasts 24 hours. It’s even quite noticeable after taking a shower(!). I don’t think it evolves much, but that’s fine considering the lovely top notes (I wouldn’t have it any other way).
    It projects for at least 8 hours (my girlfriend notices it constantly 12 hours later, so it seems to be projecting as long as you’re wearing it). I only spray twice, one spray on each side of the neck. People notice it throughout the day, and they don’t even have to stand close. It lingers where you’ve been.
    It’s hard to describe the fragrance I think, but it’s a very nice citrus, not sharp and not overwhelming. It’s something you’d want to smell on yourself for a long time after applying. I never get tired of it like many others I own.
    Everyone who has commented on it really likes it too, especially women.
    It’s expensive, and the price has gone up since I purchased it, it seems. However, I personally think it’s worth it. Especially when I think about all the money I’ve spent on perfumes I rarely (or never) wear. Choose your fragrances wisely, so you don’t end up with too many “ok” perfumes.
    For those interested, the batch number is A0311Q01, and it seems to have been produced in 2011.
    In my top 5.

    The pear and rice paper combination make for a incredible crisp and clean scent. It’s rather nice, however, for my mind, it is missing the ‘X Factor’ to make it a truly exception fragrance. I’d definitely reach for Jardin d’Amalfi ahead of Pure White.

  23. :

    Upon first whiff, you’re taken back to southern fields of barley. You stand amongst the ‘fields of gold’ as a heavenly linen and pear scent lingers in the air. In that moment, you feel like Heathcliff and Catherine walking through grassy moors in the midst of a cool afternoon. What a class act. This is perhaps Erwin Creed’s best work yet.

  24. :

    5 out of 5

    A very simple yet bright and cheerful summer scent that smells extremely clean with very light hints of pear. For me, this is a skin scent from the moment I sprayed it and it quickly disappeared into nothing in less than an hour. With its ridiculous price and tragic longevity, it’s really hard to recommend this.
    *Saw some people have vastly different experience with longevity, which is interesting. I tried this with great interest and expectations at KaDeWe in Berlin, so no doubts about it being original, but longevity was indeed tragic on me. Looking forward to giving it a second chance soon.

    I’m really note sure if there could be a better smelling summer/citrus scent honestly.
    10/10
    Only con for some people will be the price. Creed, please sell 75ml and 125ml bottles of this so you can take the number 1 hype spot for your house! Sales would go off the chart this is so good

    Beautiful quintessential “cologne”. Distinct, yet with the bergamot and grapefruit opening that lingers throughout the life of it on my skin compliment perfectly the pear and white musk base. There is not a single facet of this incredible fragrance that I don’t absolutely love. Uplifts and gives me such pleasure all day.
    I get all day longevity, I can smell it on myself all day and by the end of the day my wife can smell it when she hugs me.
    Scent: 10/10
    Longevity & Sillage: 8/10

    I received a sample of this with some recent purchases, as it was recommended by the seller.
    This is an unbelievably clean fragrance. NUCLEAR sillage if you spray too much, and it performs very well, all day long. I really can’t singly describe any notes to be honest, it’s such a well-blended scent. I can only describe it as what I feel to be the smell of very luxurious linen soap. The smell of $5,000/night sheets and pillows. Leaning toward feminine in my opinion, but after an hour or two it’s really a clean unisex feel.
    I was really surprised by this. I hadn’t read much about this scent; it was among the few Creeds that I dismissed as not having any interest in trying, but I am glad I did. It smells fabulous on both myself and my wife; I would say it smells better on her initially, but the drydown is better on me. For the price, I couldn’t begin to contemplate a purchase, but this atomizer should last me a while.

    The fragrance begins with an invigorating burst of fruit and citrus, an opening which is quite mesmerizing. Sicilian bergamot, Italian grapefruit and lemon all create the hesperidic top notes, lending to its wearer a hint of optimism. The blending of citrus top notes with the fruity and green notes of the heart is a tour de force in perfume making artistry. Juicy pear with its sweet and honey-like facets accompanies neroli blossom and pungent galbanum in the mid range. Neroli blossom’s softly bitter top and greener, lush body matches perfectly with galbanum’s more intense bitter, green qualities. The sweetness of the pear definitely dampens the sharp bitterness of the galbanum making it much more pleasant and tolerable. Ambergris, white musk, and rice powder comprise the base of ‘Pure White Cologne’. The dry down is pleasant but less ambitious as the opening burst upon initial application. Sillage and longevity for this harmonious composition is moderate. I feel this fragrance yields its biggest appeal and best performance in Spring and Summer. CREED’s ‘Pure White Cologne’ reminds me of a timid fawn who ventures out in the morning dew to nibble a few blades of grass and go unnoticed; delicate, unobtrusive, and cautious. Another stroke of genius from Olivier Creed.

    There’s not much to dislike about Creed’s Original Cologne AKA Pure White, which is a harmonious blend of citrus and softer notes. The grapefruit is the main player but but bergamot and lemon are also detectable, with the musk and ambergris creating a more moderate base. It’s slightly sweet, as well, but I can’t really assign the sweetness to a note. Excellently balanced, it leans away from the soapy cologne and more toward a semi-gourmandy cologne, as most of the listed notes are food notes, and it is, on the whole, citrusy and sweet.
    Original Cologne is a light, clean cologne that certainly leans toward warm weather use but is sophisticated enough to be used year round and in a variety of situations (both work and casual). This reminds me of C.O. Bigelow’s Elixir White due to the strength of the grapefruit at the top of the fragrance and truly remaining dominant through its life.
    Projection and longevity are consistent with EDTs, not the usual Creed millesimes/EDPs, but this is expected with a fragrance called a cologne. On that point, the main aspect I dislike is the price ($235 for 30ml, $710 for 250ml), as it’s difficult to justify a higher-than-average Creed cost for weaker-than-average juice. If money is no object, this should be a must-have cologne for part of the collection.

    ABSOLUTELY, Aqua Vitae by Francis Kurkdjian has this one best by a country mile!!!

    I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again – the main problem with the Royal Exclusives is that they’re so ridiculously priced that you expect them to smell like the breath of an angel.
    Of the three I’ve tried, none of them have warranted the price for me. Actually, Lemme be honest: Spice & Wood would work around the $200-250 price point…. In reality though, it’s not gonna wow you especially if you have grown accustomed to the average Millésime. Jardin D’Amalfi is all hype, Sublime Vanille is perfumey and boring. And now Pure White Cologne comes along, and guess what? It’s very nice, but nothing spectacular. I can’t help but feeling that the Royal Exclusives are void of the Olivier Creed DNA….
    PWC opens with an albeit very pleasant and smooth concoction of bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, mixed with a touch of pear. What is very interesting about the top of this frag is that it smells crisp and fresh, but also a little metallic and grey (In other words “Silver Mountain Water” ink toner). It’s not that dissimilar to that of 4711. That’s really not much of a compliment, considering the egregious price point. The subtle touch of pear gives it added depth, which softens it. After about 15 minutes or so, a very powdery white rice note kicks into a different phase. Again, it’s nice, it’s very snowy and “pure,” but almost identical to what they accomplished in Love in White. It’s a familiar pattern, which fails big time in having that x-factor worthy of a “Royal Exclusive”!
    From my early memories of my childhood and vacationing in the islands, rice really doesn’t smell all that great. It can taste great, especially prepared in the island tradition- but forget the smell! Now we all know that Creed swears by the fact they use ONLY top quality “natural ingredients” and never commit the sacrilege of infusing synthetics into their blends, but for me, there is definitely a synthetic substitute for the so-called “Rice powder” note…….. To any naysayers I say, please investigate for yourselves….. And please don’t feed us the millions they spend to “authentic Whale regurgitation” (Ambergris)……
    What we are left with in the base when the rice dies down is galbanum (also very powdery), and that subtle pear note for sweetness- fading into a simple white musk. Check back in an hour- you are left only reminiscing about that gorgeous opening blast…. For what they’re asking, there’s absolutely no reason to buy this, and I can’t think of a single justification for dropping some serious coin just to be wowed for 15 minutes. What I will give them though is that these bottles (Flacons from the Les Royales Collection) are a serious work of art and would look just glamourous displayed on any armoire.
    My recommendation: Try Aqua Vitae by Maison Francis Kurkdjian (a far superior blend with all the nuances that make it so resplendent……. I will be doing a review for Aqua Vitae in the next week or so and you’ll be able to see WHY Francis Kurkdjian nailed it, while Erwin Creed fell short….. If you are still stuck on the price point and are budget-focussed, then please go for 4711 or Roger & Gallet.

    This is currently being re-branded as Creed “Pure White” Though the scent profile is lovely and it is a bracingly fresh and distinguished masculine scent, it is neither unique enough to pursue or worth the exorbitant price unless you are label whore. Short of the vaguely unusual “rice powder” note in the base, this is the sort of thing I could probably whip up from the essential oils and perfume molecules in my kits. Sorry Creed… this one isn’t going anywhere for me.

  35. :

    5 out of 5

    Classy, elegant and quite appealing. Other reviewers nailed it, this smells like an inexpensive lemon soap with hints of fruit, musk and powder. A very safe and generic scent, typical of this brand. Creed brand name quality from scent to bottle, shocking price tag to match and questionable value.

  36. :

    4 out of 5

    I am very sorry, but on me this perfume just smelled like soap. Good, clean soap–nothing bad about it but nothing particularly unique. I couldn’t even smell any of the citrus notes. It went immediately into the powdery soapy scent on my skin. Now, granted, I’m a woman, so perhaps it might smell differently with a man’s chemistry. And if I smelled this on a man I would be impressed and think he smelled good. However, if another man walked by wearing Tabarome, I can tell you I’d rather be in his sillage range than the man wearing Pure White. Just my two “scents” (see what I did there?)! 🙂

  37. :

    Very similar to MFK Aqua Vitae.
    Original Cologne is a bit more waterly and milder, Aqua Vitae is more flowerly and sharper.

  38. :

    5 out of 5

    This cologne opens with an amiable citrus melange of bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, mixed with a very lithe touch of pear. Stays close to the skin and is not offensive. After 30 minutes or so, all that remains is the paleness of galbanum (also very powdery), and that subtle pear note for sweetness. It then fades into simple white musk. In my humble opinion, for this cologne fragrance there’s absolutely no reason to buy this considering the cost and really what you get. Sorry, nothing special…

  39. :

    5 out of 5

    Very fresh cologne but not common in my opinion. Start citrus with notes of lemon,bergamot,grapefruit with a little fruity in the middle(pear)and end with soft powdery with rice powder…very clean, fresh…personally one of my favourite in the Creed line. Has a good sillage but never loud, on me last 6/8 hours. The only complain is that should be nice to have it in a 75 or 120 flacon and not only 250 (I dont consider the 30 for the ridiculous price of this size). Anyway a great work from the house of Creed

    So today i was in Selfridges London and ive been avoiding trying this for ages, just in case i fell in love with it at the price point its at lol.
    I have to say i do really like this, but its not without its faults (for me personally).
    This reminds me of Issey Miyakes Lea Dissey how it smelt originally in the 90’s before the reformulation, its not the same but it has the same vibe.
    This is very nice, very refined and finely tuned to perfection, but a little to much. I can totally understand why some men would not feeling comfortable wearing this, its to perfect, but its very well done in my opinion, im just not sure if its for me. Im far to casual, i would feel to self conscious and like i need to be perfectly groomed in a tailored suit before i could even potentially pull this off.
    Defintiley a very classy 5 star high end french fragrance.

    If you want something simply and gorgeous, I will recommend you wear this one. Its scent is somewhat linear on the top to middle note with citrus, but turns out a little sweet with powdery rice in dry down. Longevity is rather o.k. for me, 6-8 hours, but many people may hesitate to buy it thanks to its poor projection.

  42. :

    5 out of 5

    Im in my early 30’s and to be honest, I’ve worn colognes since 5th-grade. You name it; Cool Water, Fahrenheit, Jean Paul Gaultier, Issey Miyake, Ralph Lauren Polo Green Blue Black, Gucci, D&G, Cartier, Hermes, and many others. Now I am a total fan of real pure oud oils, BUT when it comes to getting an instant olfactory reset I am proud to admit Creed Pure White Cologne (formerly known as Creed Original Cologne) is by far an absolute treat to wear. Not just for the person wearing it, but for those that are around you. This stuff reminds me of a Rolls Royce or a Bentley. It is a scent of intelligence & winning success. It can easily be worn everyday and gladly appreciated by many… But why would you? It’s simply that darn great.
    Enough already, Creed Pure White Cologne is a “light fresh pear scent with spritz of orange and lemon combined with suttle light touches of warm grapefruit… The dry down is elegant, welcoming, charming and basically similar to fresh clean clothes along the lines of a custom made fabric softener… but 10x better, almost with a hint of baby powder… its soft & clean. I could picture a well known championship NFL or NBA owner wearing this. Or a veteran actor who isnt old but has a collection of films they’ve starred in. It does cost around $700 U.S. depending on where its being purchased at, and that’s for 8.4oz/250ml. The BIG question is it worth it? I own it… although I acquired it in a friendship/loyalty ordeal; so it was only $140 U.S. for 80% of a 8.4oz bottle.
    If you can afford it or simply appreciate great quality I feel it’s worth it. This style of fragrance isn’t meant to be compared to other fragrances… it stands alone from all the rest of the Creeds, and when you wear it you’ll love it. It has good longevity around 6-7hours, its projection is worth about 4hours and then it sits to the skin within 1-2feet. As far as applying this scent to clothes it last much longer like 16hours BUT this isnt that kind of scent. If you want something like that go with Creed Aventus, Millesime Imperial, or Original Vetiver.
    Overall, the reasons why I enjoy this fragrance because its not screaming for ultra-mega attention, its welcoming and it has a crisp-clean gentle side to it. Finally it doesn’t last all day long so I’m able to dream of wearing it again for the right occasion. -Its Good Stuff-

    Agree with Celsius, Nichehead, and Soritiosc reviews. This is a truly sophisticated fragrance with the power to transport you somewhere beautiful if you close your eyes. It’s not an attention getter – Creed Spice and Wood is meant for that in my opinion – this is more for the occasion when you desire something subtle yet still very complex and intriguing. Reminds me of Antica Farmacista Prosecco (formerly Champagne) Home Ambience.

    A beautiful opening of juicy pear and citrus notes which mellow to a sweet accord. Neroli blossom and rice powder round out the dry down. Those who like overly boisterous colognes will be sadly disappointed in this scent, as it lays very close to the skin. This is the timid fawn who ventures out in the morning dew to nibble a few blades of grass and go unnoticed. Delicate, unobtrusive, cautious. Another stroke of genius from Olivier Creed.
    I prefer the new retitling “Pure White Cologne” as it matches the ethereal and pristine images the scent conjures up. (12)

    Again I’m rather underwhelmed by a Creed Royal Exclusive, this time “Pure White Cologne”, a.k.a., “Original Cologne”.
    I’m thinking, as with Love in White, that perhaps the controversial rice note isn’t something Creed will “bring to the culture” and make popular among niche and designer brands, the way oud became a sensation in the niche world a few years back. I smell it here the way I did in LiW – dry, kinda powdery, and a little dull. It is surrounded by very fresh, sheer citrus notes of lemon, bergamot, and grapefruit, but would you believe those notes actually come together smelling rather grey and metallic? There’s a faint whiff of something else, something sweeter, I guess the pear note, under the hesperidic frontal arrangement, but after fifteen minutes I can’t hardly tell. Then it’s all but gone.
    Lovely for a few minutes, but disappointing, and forget about spending $600 on it.

    Hello again, my friends! This is my review on this Creed Original Cologne, my 2nd favourite after Creed Windsor.
    Indeed, this scent is just as advertised, clean, subtle and so…aristocratic. It is one of the most mellow, rounded and toned down cologne I have ever experienced…I could personify this as the mellowed down autumn to Acqua di Gio’s energetic summer.
    Under my normal application of 3 spritzes, the top note lasted barely 10 minutes on me before opening up to the warm and mellow heart note. The drydown came 4-5 hours later, nearly imperceptible.
    This is one truly amazing fragrance, being suitable for any occasion. It’s not too dressy, not snobby, not overpowering, and stays almost constant on you throughout the phases. I have tried certain perfumes in which I have to apply 30 minutes before I step out of home so that the overpowering top note would fade off. No, you won’t get this problem with Creed Windsor and Creed Original Cologne.
    And again, there is no danger of overdosing unless you pour half a bottle per application…
    If Creed Windsor is the formal and dressy fragrance for the evening, then this cologne, the Creed Original Cologne, shall be it’s tailwind, picking up where it left off, to be used for any occasion that the Windsor is not suitable for.
    I know there is a hefty price tag attached to both of these fragrances, and I will repeat my philosophy again: the one fragrance which you have truly come to see it as your signature will be worth over twenty lesser ones, regardless of brand name and price.

    I have just recently purchased Pure White Cologne and I must say its a truly unique fragrance. Incredibly fresh and thought provoking. In my honest opinion I believe a fragrance is one of the most impressionable accessory you can wear. A scent can be a powerful memory trigger; if you are wearing something as exclusive and unique as this people will remember your smell whenever you encounter them again. It might be to floral for some but the pear and rice make it quite memorable. I suggest trying this before you committ to such a hefty price tag.

    This scent is spectacular. I personaly believe you have to suit the part to like it and the part is precisely described in the description. Close your eyes and breathe in the scent. Then let your mind visualize the palace that most dreamnt they lived in. This fragrance opens with such nice citrus opening. Sweet fruity middle notes and a sexy ambergris base. Lasts long and projects better. People will love the way you smell and be shocked at how different this fragrance is. one of a kind

    I tried this scent at Bergdorf Goodman and I thought it was odd to release a summer scent in the fall. I did not find anything spectacular about it. The bottle is beautiful, but for the price point, there are other scents that are nicer.
