A wondeful perfume, indeed a masterclass in haute perfumery. I'm baffled by those complaining about performance, I find it's a beast, albeit without being loud. There a warm waves of woody, resinous, sweet, vanillic benzoin to die for, and the best thing is it works in most weather conditions. I haven't tried it in hot weather and I imagine it wouldn't be ideal, but Autumn, Winter and Spring, it's perfect. Love!
