It has brilliant lasting power which is one of the things I really love about it. For me it's nicer as a daytime perfume though I'm sure it would be lovely anytime. I really find it's the perfume that seems to draw the most compliments and I'm often asked what I'm wearing.

I even like the simplicity of the tin spray can next to my other pretty perfume bottles and I think it will always be one of my top 5. Scent and staying power

Won't buy this again – I have bought this brand of parfum for approx 30 years. A recently purchased this product online and found there is almost no perfume in the container. Upfront smell is almost all spirit. Copious spray does not generate any fragrance at all. Perhaps the factory has watered it down to save money Little or no fragrance
