I love the smell, it stays forever on, even after washing. I don’t know what the fragrance it’s modeled after so I can’t comment about that but to me it reminds me of the very old perfume Casmir and my son thought it was a lighter scent than Joop. I love both of those. I bought it from the description and the notes, a blind purchase so to say. I recommend it!
I have a sample of Secret Embers which will be one of my next purchases, I was happy to get a sample of one I had been looking at, same fragrance family instead of one I would never have thought of purchasing.
