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.

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.

This is a very pretty scent and I enjoy the citrus/ floral opening enormously... It soon turns to vanilla amber with a floral note above. I like the floral (magnolia? tuberose?) It has sillage in abundance. Unfortunately, for me the vanilla or honey note is too predominant and makes me think "generic modern perfume".

Very light, lovely floral with vanilla base. It dries down to a very sweet vanilla, however, and can become cloying in the wrong weather. The EDT also does not last as long as I'd like. Reminds me very much of Champs-Elysees, as they share much the same feeling: Light, inoffensive florals with a sweet sweet vanilla base. Lacks the pop of Insolence's berries and violet and the powdery melancholy of L'Heure Bleue. Not my favorite Guerlain.
