I like this fragrance a lot. Rather people love the scent on me or they dislike it. It is a very classic scent. Many of the people who like it on me do not care for fruity scented fragrances. Therefore, if you like fruity scents this is not the scent for you.

This is my favorite formal fragrance. It smells amazing on me, like a very expensive sophisticated scent and I always receive compliments when I wear it. Beautiful and feminine.

I like this. It isn't one of my favorite fragrances, but it's nice. It reminds me of something my mother had when I was a little girl. You do have to be careful to use a light hand when applying this one though. Can easily become WAY too strong. One, maybe 2 spritzes is plenty.

I have to agree with Jezseeca: it's simply awful, agrrrttt!
it was offered to me and you know how is it: people are expecting for you to say "I love it", but when I first smelled I had to go "it smells ok...": that was the first and last time I ever smelled it; I eventually gave it it someone who loves it; don't know how...

This is a nice fruity exotic floral scent, just OK for me although I avoid to wear it if I have to travel far because sometimes it makes me dizzy, the staying power is not really good, packaging is Ok but the cap is quite loose, Not going to buy again.

This is really pretty. I can't believe i'm just now trying this for the first time. I love heady florals but normally can't wear them because they can be too strong. This is an exception. It melts into my skin and I guess my chemistry works with this fragrance. I apply this sparingly, that's all you need. The lasting power is exceptional.

I remember originally thinking this fragrance was awesome, as I LOVE tuberose scents. Last week, however, while at Sephora I tried it on and was sadly dismayed. It smells very musky and sickly sweet. Shocking, considering how much I love sweet florals like Amarige. Perhaps the bottle was old, defected?

this is just awful. I know several women who wear this--- all are in their 50s-- and they all stink! everyone makes fun of them when they leave the room at how bad their perfume smells.. It's the sort of perfume that sticks to the room LONG after the wearer has left! it's given me countless headaches, and i hope i never have to smell this one again! peee-ewww.

This fragrance works for me. Perfumes that others say are strong and last forever are just the opposite on me and this is one example.

Carolina Herrera is a beautiful blend of tuberose and jasmine.I grow Mexican tuberose and 4 kinds of jasmine in my garden and want my fragrance to faithfully duplicate their beauty. I have tried several fragrances that just don't capture the delicious perfume that these plants deliver during the day or in the case of tuberose and night jasmine in the evening.

My only complaint is the fragrance is actually very light and doesn't last on me at all. I have the lotion,body cream,shower and bath gel and eau de parfum. I will try the pafum next to see if it last better on my skin. I've read that fair skinned gals usually do best with these white floral fragrances and since I am lily white perhaps that's true!

My climate is too hot for lilacs, hyacinths, lilies, and I tried growing antique sweet peas but get a very short blooming period with them here and I have no memories to associate with the above flowers.

I believe the fragrances we live around or grew up with evoke emotion and those like the ones I cannot grow or relate a smell with because I have never been around them are harder for me to fall in love with.

After the first heady few minutes it is a soft, sensual, true tuberose/jasmine scent for me that makes me joyful without the too sweet and too strong problem others have had.

I figured if Angelina Jolie loved this fragrance, I would too. Not so. It has a strong smell of tuberose (which smells too much like gardenia for me). A very heavy fragrance. Would be great for someone who like heavy florals that are sweet too. Just not me.

I just love this scent of this parfum. It is very classy and floral. However it is very strong and last on your skin forever. My boyfriend hates it! He says it is way to stong. This parfum is a love or hate scent! I suggest you sample it on your skin before you purchase it.

I am not sure about what to say..this one is not a bad scent if you love love love gardenias. But it to me had a nauseating quality to it. It lasts and lingers wonderfully. So if you like it overall a good scent because it doesnt fade. I think its just way too much.

This is such an 80s fragrance for me! I remember my mum wearing it back then and I loved it. Powerful, rich and elegant, the sort of fragance that announces your presence.

Very strong and potent white floral. It was pretty 'stinky' on me and lasted all day. I just think there are much better, softer, creamier white florals out there.

On my skin it smells like an intense sweet flat jasmin fragrance. Quite elegant and feminine, but nothing special.

Can be worn during all seasons. The sweet floral can
get too much for some, but if you really like that combo, give it a go. Has to be worn with subtly because it can be overpowering.
Just to be on the safe side, the perfumed lotion is enough for that light lingering smell. The best way I can describe it is a “rich luxurious floral”. Its my *night perfume, and fetches quite a few complements;)
