I'm extremely annoyed that Stephanotis is mentioned in the description, but not shown in the pyramid. I own a Stephanotis plant and I can say with 100% certainty that Stephanotis is the main player here (not Lily as I once thought, ever-present as she may be). I can't think of another floral fragrance that has no real top or base notes to speak of. On paper, this could seem like an overwhelming choice with its cast of boss flowers, and at times it absolutely can be. But if you can find the application sweet spot, it's truly beautiful and intoxicating for anyone who, like me, wants to eat, breathe, and bathe in flowers. I think the Stephanotis is what makes this truly special and keeps it from being like every other white floral (no shade--I love white florals). I find myself hoarding this because every other backup bottle I've purchased has a lack of freshness that ruins its beauty. Perhaps it's time to break this one out of hiding. NB: EL Pleasures is an absolutely reliable dupe. Same vibe, though it's missing the beloved Stephanotis.
