Gentle, easy-going and pretty. Not at all taxing.
None of those attributes are negative.
This is a great perfume to choose for a gift for a non-perfumista. And the Guerlain name is a nice little glam-bam on top.

But for 'one of us'? Hmm.
I prefer L'Instant Magie, the slightly woodier flanker.

Smells to me like I cracked open some chocolate covered cherries and used them as bath beads. Which is not a terrible thing, but not what I'm looking for in a fragrance. I like this scent, but it feels like something is missing. Super duper sweet is all I get. Like Cherry Coke. Just doesn't suit me I guess.

I totally agree w/an_oud_girl's assessment, and that's actually why I like this one. Like most Guerlains, it's significantly different in the parfum version, which is less vanilla-sweet, more amber-sweet, and more of a spicy powder overall. I see this one as an updated Chamade with a strong Roucel signature, and I'd put my money on it being a Guerlain 'classic' in the future.

It smells too excruciatingly ‘girlie’ for any wearer of this to be taken seriously. Strictly for clubbing, where being taken seriously is not really that important (especially when everyone else is intoxicated in one way or another)…

A beautiful oriental fragrance that's not too heavy. Neroli, spices and vanilla... just a wonderful scent of sweet florals and amber. I really enjoy the feminine aspects of this scent.

This is an interesting one - the EDP is very musky and warm on me - initial orange blossum-type notes dry down very quickly to become this warm musk...the quality is very high and it smells beautiful though on my own skin I think I prefer a little extra freshness of floral or soft fruits to balance the musk/amber.
