Advantages: Nice bottle

Disadvantages: Expensive, not a good fragrance, makes my head ache

I`m afraid this is going to be a review where good words are rare and negative words are more common, this Balenciaga fragrance not just for me, but I cannot imagine who it would work for at all! This is a very strong, synthetic, intense perfume, all the while quite tame in its scents and smell combinations... This perfume was way too heavy for me, and it gave me an headache after I had wore it for about an hour. Even though it`s very strong and intense, it also needs "respraying" very often, almost every two hours, which simply isn`t good enough.

Truthfully, the only thing on the positive side I can say, is that I quite find the bottle looking nice, but that`s sadly it! This fragrance, to top off the misery, is also very expensive, as I paid 56.99 for a 50 ml bottle, which is way too much for a fragrance that doesn`t offer a good combination of scents, and is very difficult to enjoy wearing, as I immediately become quite ill when wearing it... The oonly sensable thing I can say about the fragrance, is that I think I can notice the smell of musk and perhaps vanilla in this perfume, but that`s pretty much it... It smells strong, intense and just not appealing!

Zero points, I`m afraid!

Summary: A fragrance I wouldn`t recommend
