Got a frimp of this, quite a while back. Just got around to trying it out. In the bottle, it was cloyingly sweet. Too much so. First on the skin, the same thing. Very thick sweetness, like candy. I don't do candy scents at all. However, it dried into a very nice, rich floral. Sweet, but deep. Not too strong on me, either, just right. After about an hour, it still had a nice scent going. I'm not the best at identifying scents, but I think the lotus is what was coming out the most, with something richer underneath that I couldn't quite make out. Not quite sure if it is me, yet. But I'll keep the imp and try it a few more times before deciding. This might be worth a bottle.

In the bottle: not sure, rather sweet but ambiguous scent Wet: very sweet, honey and berries. I was afraid it was going to end up smelling like candy (no, just no--I don't do candy-scents!), but it settled down fairly quickly. Several hours later, it is now this very pleasant fruity scent, with just a touch of floral. I didn't pick up any musk at all--and a good thing, since musk tends to make me sneeze! This one's a keeper, perfect for a warm summer's day.

In the bottle: nice scent. Reminds me of lillies and linen. Clean and fresh. on me: The same, a clean lily/linen type scent. Goes soft within 20 minutes or so, but two hours later, the scent is still present. Very soft and sweet. I like this a lot! I think a larger bottle is in order! (Yay, I was getting worried that my body chemistry would reject all bpal or something!)

In the bottle: Something is strong here? Carnation? On me: Very strong. Yes, it is carnation. Also a heavy alcohol-like smell close to what regular perfume smells like on me. I don't like this AT ALL. 20 minutes: Oh, now it smells like sugar? I don't think this scent likes me. 40 minutes: Okay, it turned to liquorice on me. Alas, Desdemona, you and I were meant to part. I hate liquorice. Wow, it's amazing how a scent can change so much from person to person...

In bottle: Oh, I love the smell! Am great fan of Lillies. Also smell something sharp? It smells of cold? On me: the Lily is very strong, also the smell of powder, and something else that is sharp that I do not know. 20 minutes later: I've often wondered what "gone to powder" meant when reading these kinds of reviews. Now I know. It smells like sharply-scented body powder now. Touch of lily and maybe something musky? The powdery smell isn't what I was looking for in a scent though. Will give it another try in a week or so, just in case my body is being weird on me, but alas, Tiger Lily, it looks like you are not the one for me either. It's too bad, I loved the way you smelled in the bottle!

In the bottle: Vanilla? It smells like vanilla. On me: Still smells like vanilla, now with something else, perhaps gardenia? In 20 minutes, it gets smokey on me, still smelling vanilla. In 40 minutes, it starts smelling like bath powder. Pretty bath powder, but powder, nonetheless. It faded within an hour. Hmm. Pretty enough, but no staying power on me. I'll give it another chance in a week, but I'm thinking this is not my scent.
