If you know a woman who is extremely uptight, look no further than this perfect gift. Not designed to make people happy...more like an attempt at an antidote to actual pleasantness.

...Red Door or Red Whore...you tell me. Spraying this stuff on and you might as well wait on the corner in the sleazy part of town and try to make $5.00 the hard way.

My ex-boss used to wear this, and I could smell her two offices away. The whole room filled with the bouquet when she walked in. Did I like it? Yes, indeed.

I agree with other posts; Red Door is amazingly overpowering! It smells garish, like the nouveau-riche who try to impress high society by being obnoxious. The eau de toilette version is strong enough--once I sprayed my wrist once, got a headache, and tried to wash it away. That did not work.
The dusting powder version smells different, as well as lotion. THere's more sandalwood, less floral--I recommend that version.
On the bright side, if you like the perfume, it lasts for a long time. Just be careful because for those with perfume allergies, this one probably offends the most.

I regret to say that this is my first thumbs down review. My mother had this on her dresser. I tried it on. I disliked it immediately. However, I became nostalgic as I was vaguely and instantly transported back in time when I was a kid, at a country church with my aunt. This is just how the ladies smelled at church. I also got a fleeting impression of old time aftershave. This one is not for me.

people think it smell good on me, when I were it at the courthouse. go figure....
I'm a criminal trial lawyer so, for me its has its place: mature for sure, authoritative, serious, too obnoxious to be boring, and somewhat jaded.
-----put on a black or navy suit, a little bit of the dreaded "Red" and go to trial.
