This fragrance is currently my favorite and has been since I tried it. I'm actually very disappointed that summer is arriving because it doesn't smell like a summer scent so I won't be able to...
Liked it enough to buy it, but cannot pretend that it doesn't smell like a less overpowering version of a home freshener I'd used at some point of time.
