I was expecting to fall madly for this fragrance as I remember smelling it several years ago on a girl I was seeing and thought it was nice. Quick word on the packaging and presentation, I found them to be particularly inviting, The bottle looks great really classy. Tried it the otherday and liked it, very pleasant fresh citrus opening then delicate florals not over sweet peony and jasmine. The base is a warm vanilla/almond which is evident throughout but dries down very nicely. Nothing unpleasant here and as a man I don't have much credibility when commenting on 'feminine' perfumes but I just found this a little average. I suspect that was only due to the fact my expectations were so high. It's an interesting and understated scent which is warm and pleasant and in actual fact I could probably pull off wearing it. I saw that it was in the sale but still wasn't reasonably priced enough for me to buy it even for my girlfriend who was of the same opinion as me...that cinema is nothing special, though it's very wearable, good quality and lasts well.
