When I got this perfume, I was surprised. Suddenly all my other perfumes and scents didn't matter and I could go on smelling these all the time. They are better than perfect, in terms of the notes and their balance. I have never expected purchasing a product that would make me want to smell all the other ones the company has to offer. Unfortunately when I used them, I couldn't smell them anymore after a few hours, or after cycling. Such a shame.
