"It is stylish, sexy & uplifting. The price is always great for the quality & I hope that Amazon continues to find stockists so I can continue to wear my favourite scent for years to come!"
However, the longevity was criticised by one shopper in a three-star review that read: "Nice fragrance but it doesn't have the staying power I was hoping for. It is not a heavy scent & is nice for the summer."
But another happy shopper added: "I love the flowery fragrance of the perfume; I have used it several times over the years. It is long-lasting."
