The composition opens with the floral notes of rose, peony, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The new and modern note of eucaliptus in the middle is refreshing the classic floral buquet. The heart blends with eucaliptus, pear blossom, orchid and syringa. Oriental base includes sandal and Tonka bean.
The perfume was designed by Ann Gottlieb 1998. Contradiction was launched in 1998.

It sounds absolutely magical at higher humidity conditions, it gains incredible sensual depth at the seaside. I used it in Thailand, my b/f was going crazy about the way I smelled and women highly appreciated it as well. Here in Moscow it gets lost becoming more metallic and superficial. It was in Thailand where I understood why it got the FiFi award.

It's a nice perfume but I expected something more gourmand and warm being that's an oriental vanilla. It doesn't stay long on me either. After about 45 minutes it's barely noticeable. I still like it because it was a gift from my mother. I'll wear it but I wouldn't purchase it after I'm done with it.

I got a cheap bottle of this as it was no longer a new fragrance. I chose it because I liked the inital notes. Once it has settled a bit it has a powdery smell on my skin, which I am not keen on. I wear it during the day sometime, when I need a scent which is not overpowering.

I´ve got a sample of this from my sister in law, on her it smells really nice but on me it smells terrible. I get rotten flowers and a horrible metalnote that is so awful that I have to wash it off...

I really loved this one when I first smelled it! Sometimes a perfume makes you wish you could eat it, and that's what this one did. I still love the fragrance, but it's a bit too sweet for every day wear I think. I'll probably buy myself a bottle of it again some time.
