Advantages: Nice bottle, easy to apply

Disadvantages: Can be so sweet its sickly, not great for carrying around

Visually this is a very bold, eye catching product, and it is similarly pleasing in terms of the scent. It is not a deep or mysterious usually associated with musky, woody scents but rather it is sweet and uplifting, it reads pretty and feminine. The packaging is clearly based on the instantly recogniseable fruit; the apple and it is this fruity and fresh tone that permeates its base. It also has overtones of candy and brings to mind pink candy floss. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing certainly depends on your own taste. It could easily be considered sickly by someone who prefers stronger woody scents or the more original flower based perfumes. On this basis, it is perhaps more suited and most probably aimed at younger age groups as it does not appear as a 'mature' 'ladies' perfume.
In terms of usage, there are no complaints, it is easy to grasp and spray and is relatively good value for money at £26.43 for 30ml, £34.56 for 50ml, £48.94 for 100ml, (priced at Boots). One negative would be that, the larger ml options are really too large and bulky to carry in a handbag.

Summary: Not a mature scent, more suited for teens
