A small gift I had for christmas. From my research the bottle I have 30ml retails for around £40, you must really love the product to buy it, I would defiantly pick up a tester if your going to spend that much on any perfume.

*The Design*
The box is a rich red with gold swirls of floral on it, it certainly looks luxurious and expensive. The liquid in the bottle is also a gold colour, the lid has the same rich red and the spray lid is gold plated. The design does this perfume justice in expressing the up-market feel to it. The bottle is tall but very sleek and skinny, it feels very delicate so I would take extra care carrying it around. A problem I have with the bottle is the the spray sprays out a huge amount each time leaving you with the liquid everywhere.

*The smell*
The first thing I noticed was how strong it was, This perfume will certainly be smelt by everyone! It's very exotic and reminds me of India and Eygpt. I can smell a lot of Jasmine among other things. The first 10 minutes before it settles can smell like a air freshener but when it settles you can smell the fruity notes, I can smell and orange, peachy citrus which is refreshing along with a spicy feel. It also lasted right til I had a shower in the night - So long lasting.

The problem with this perfume is I don't know when I should wear it, it feels a bit too much for going out in and smells a lot more mature and I believe it will suit an older person. I do believe however you do get what you pay for!
