I purchased this after watching a YT video speaking out about how great this is on " Rose " and " Vanilla " , the other notes were a bit in coming she said . Opening with herbal notes of valerian, dashes of saffron give clues to the golden scent that is beginning to glow around you as you wear it. She is indeed a "monster " of a vanilla potion ~ This just does not fit the image of the notes { I like all,I have them in several other brands from high to low end } It must be that Swiss Arabian and I don't get alone , this is the second time in about 6 months I have disliked a scentual I purchased from SA .
