I have. It's a decent green, but the sweet pea and other floral notes didn't wear so well on me.

I did and I really liked it. I never gave it a full wearing, but it smells very much like the ocean. Very nice fragrance IMO.

If this is as hot and sensual as Isabella seems to be, I'll go to the ends of the earth to try it. Unfortunately, from the two substantive comments already posted it would seem that this is not the case.

This is correct. The fragrance is subtle, has an "oceanic" quality to it, is "nice," but certainly not something to vigorously search out IMO.

That's about right.
I got one and it's not hot and it's not sensual either but i would certainly call it attractive but in an ethereal kind of way.
Depending on the skin, it can be either too masculine for some women and too floral for some men, so it's a bit strange that way, and i find it to be truly unisex.
It's soft and pretty but it has a dirty and intense (think : intense gaze or eyes) note that makes it interesting enough but it's not intense as in the power of the smell, more like a constant perseverance of an idea.
I think it lacks a bit of personality at times. It has poor sillage.
I still think it's a must-smell, but then again, i also think that all fragrances are must-smells.
At least i got a bottle and use it from time to time.

an MUAer who wants something I'm swapping has it on her swap list. . . I should probably just do it!

I wear it on occasion, I think it's great and it lasts and lasts...there is even a rare EDP out there. I wear both but even the EDT is very long lasting.

I remember it being quite a nice, green scent but I didn't rush to purchase a bottle. Might have to find the sample I have later.
