This is my Sillage MONSTER! It just wont fade! I enjoy the smell, but there is something about its strength that gives me a stomach ache. One spray and I cant still smell it hours later, I dont know what it is about it, but No matter how much I love the smell, but it makes me feel sick. :(

I was surprised, I expected worse from Duff. But I still hated this scent at the end of the day, mossy woodsy sugar smell and I usually like woodsy smells but this scent takes it to a whole new level. The sweet sugary smell it starts off with made me think it was aimed at 15 to 20 year olds. Its sugary smell was dizzying to me, took 40 mins for that to fade and go more woodsy. Once it went woodsy I thought, "Oh this should be for men!" Duff tried to go for something retro glam but she missed. I like the box but the bottle I think looks cheap like a drugstore brand. Fades easily amongst my other perfumes.

I hated this. More than I hated Believe by Britney Spears. Although, this might very possibly be because I walked away from a test sniff with what threatened to be an impending migraine. I've given it about 4 test sniffs (all on different days) and left with a pounding in my head. I'm not even sure what it is. It might have been ok if it wasn't so overwhelming, it might be acceptable if it were toned down a bit. My friend said the smell actually reminded him of buttered popcorn.

The opening of With Love is fruity and woody, giving it a fairly sweet start. The main note I detect is some sweet citrusy odour mixed with spices such as cinnamon or clove. The fruity - woody and somewhat spicy accord is sweet but not overpowering, it's upbeat and different from the usual sticky fruity openings.

The spices gradually fade after half an hour, however, some of the fruity theme continues with now more of a floral theme. The woods are equally present. Having tested a few modern oriental - woody compositions this summer (e.g. Sensuous by Estee Lauder), in terms of woodiness With Love was possibly the best. It's markedly woody but also soft, dry and juicy at the same time, it blends in well with the exotic - fruity feel and anchors the otherwise fleety impression.

I was pleasantly surprised by the composition, which is light, airy and sweet but because it has a marked woody - ambery feel, it makes it stand out somewhat from the countless fruity-floral synthetics. The drydown is a warm, cashmere-like, milky and musky sytnthetic skin note.

You can tell there are lots of synthetics in here as the fragrance doesn't react to temperature or with the skin's oils itself. It'll practically evaporate entirely as sillage so to make it last as a decent Eau de Toilette (6 - 8 hours), spray it on clothes. Synthetic fragrances perform badly in winter as their consistency is often weak.

the correct notes of this fragrance is mangosteen,spices,chai latte.mangosteen blossom,cocobolo wood,balsam,incense,amber milk,and amber musk.i love this frag because it is sweet and a little spicy.The bottle is pretty nd i smell magosteen at first spritz.when i first bought it,i could only smell coconut,but soon, you will know the real scent of this perfume.it is surprisingly cheap price just lovely for teens but quite mature for a young celebrity like Hilary Duff,quite impressed.it is great for fall and winter and great for dates.it is a special fragrance in my opinion.it is romantic and great for teens.

The 1st time i smelled it on the test strip i thought it really smelled different from other celebrity perfumes that i'd smell. It took sometime for me to decide whether to love it or to hate it n it turned out to be... really love it. I just couldn't stop myself from sniffing the test strip over n over again. I thought it was warm, sensual, and sexy. I'm not into floral fruity type so this one fits me just nice. very nicely done n that includes the bottle as well very pretty!

Just bought a bottle of it together with the lotion last week n the lasting power is pretty good, it lasted until few hours on me.

Weird smell. I quickly regreted spritzing my hand because it quickly turned into a choking funk cloud & was impossible to wash off. Sad, after reading reviews I thought it would be good.

I couldn't care less about celeb scents or who makes them. That being said, I sniffed a sample of this one and then found a reasonably priced mini, so now it's mine.
If you're thinking "oriental spicy" in the genre of Opium, this is not your frag.
The top is sweet from the mango, which is nicely different from the typical citrus or plum openers. I can't discern any specific spices. Nothing hot, more an overall creamy chai-like tone. This turns into a powdery chocolate heart with a vanilla nuance and the mango trailing through it. You have to wait quite awhile for the bottom which is warm and pleasing.
I don't think it's all that strong, except at 1st spritz. Longevity is average, I couldn't pick up anything after 5 hours. Overall, it's not really my style, but a wearable scent if you like gourmand. I'll enjoy smelling like a cup of chocolate until I use it up.

I'M ALL FOR FRUITY FLORAL PERFUMES HOWEVER EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I LIKE A CHANGE FROM THE TYPICAL "CELEBRITY" SCENT, I MAY WANT A LIL MORE DEPTH... I GOT THIS LAST X-MAS AND TRIED IT OUT ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS WAS WAAAY TOO STRONG OF A SCENT FOR ME INTIALLY, ALL I COULD SMELL WERE THE FIERY HOT SPICES BUT IT DID DRYDOWN TO SOMETHING MORE SUBTLE AND WARM... I SUPPOSE WITH A LIGHT HAND THIS ONE MAY BE OK FOR SOME JUST NOT FOR ME...

I had very high expectations for this one.. I tried it almost every day and I couldn´t wait till my bottle finaly came :) Unfortunatelly almost immediately as it came I started to smell some disharmony in top notes... it just doesn´t work right, I can´t explain it but there is simply some fault note...anyway give it 15 minutes and the disharmony goes away and you have the pleasure to experience very warm, woodsy, a bit spicy creamy amber smell. I can also smell coconut though it is not listed. It is very exotic oriental perfume.
I am not crazy about it and I wear it when I don´t want to make any statement...just to smell good.
Sillage and lasting power are good.

This fragrance was far more mature an elegant than I was expecting from Hilary Duff. Interestingly get none of the fruits on me and can't pick up vanilla like some others here. I got a really woody, spicy fragrance that was a beautiful day option but would also work for night. Staying power was pretty good too and I quite liked the old fashioned bottle.

Unfortunately I really hate this one. (Help! This horrible MUSK smell will NOT wash off!!!) :'( I am so sorry to those who love this! It is gross and makes me feel sick to smell it... Horrible, horrible. :'(...so so sad. I really like Hillary Duff, she seems like a sweety pie. :)

I am probably the worse person to review this fragrance. But I am learning that woodsy/ spicey orientals are NOT for me!

Unfortunately I can't smell any of the notes everyone is talking about, or listed here in the description. To a fruity floral lover, this smells like old-spice your grandfather would wear. Much more like a cologne than a girly fragrance. Do women actually wear this?

Don't get me wrong, the other celebrity fragrances on the other side of the spectrum such as Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and Paris Hilton I seem to equally loath but for the opposite reason. They gag you with too much sweet-ness, gourmand. And they smell cheap. :'( They're such a let down... You can tell this isn't what they should do; I know this sounds mean and I feel terrible but they gag me and I have to be honest about that. Chemical and cheap. Is there a nice Celebrity Fragrance actually in existence?

:( I am so sad, as I am learning about fragrance there doesn't seem to be many I do like as I am very fussy. For girly-girls. You probably won't like this as it is very mature. I am so sorry to everyone who loves this catagory of fragrance, as I said I am the worst and not someone to judge it as I seem to really hate the catagory all together. :(

Well at least I tried! :)

I will eventually figure out what I love.

Is it me or does this smell like really bad calogne for men that went bad, like old spice or something, or cheap old fashioned older woman's perfume that went bad? Maybe it's just my nose. We all smell things different.

The search continues! Gave this little sample to my Mom as she likes it. :) Glad to have other women to give ones to that I don't like! Sharing the love, and fragrance. :)

I don't know what cocobolo smells like in person, but I like the woody note coming through and the amber adding sweetness. Those two notes give this depth. The mango gives it a nice fruity side but isn't overpowering. To me it's a really sweet and rather strong scent to be worn in small amounts, and it lasts for several hours. It reminds me of Diesel Fuel For Life pour Femme with mango instead of mandarin.

I bought this as a set with the lotion... big mistake the smell was way too strong for me..I felt like I was drowning in vanilla. The lotion for me was even worse so I sent it to my mother in law in Guatemala & she loved it :)

AT first I could not stand this scent but tried it again and purchased it tonight and let it seep into my skin. Its fruity but to me it smells like coconut too but don't seem to see that in the ingredients???? Its a fruity floral to me and very long lasting and strong-good choice for spring time, winter is heavy and this scent is better worn in the lighter days of wheather.

This fragrance is unique and exotic. The bottle itself is nice except the cap kinda throw me off. I think the bottle could look more classy if the cap is replaced with something better.

Anyhow down to the juice, it is definitely a sweet, oriental perfume. The initial blast is sweet, and i can definitely smell something creamy, something spicy and the cocobolo wood is present. I like the creamy, spicy and woodsy smell of this perfume. Maybe turn down the sweetness just a little. But for me, personally I feel that there is something missing in this perfume. I feel that it could go further? I think I would like this perfume to go darker, more sultry and mysterious, then for sure i would love this.

Also this perfume doesn't last long on my skin, so that sucks.

At first, i had no desire to purchase this scent. too strong, not floral, etc. but now that I smell it at home, it starts to open up to all the notes. ii smell spices, licorish, caramel, anise, and vanilla. wonderful, though a little sophisticated for a 14-year-old. Not bad, Hilary!

When I first read the classification for this scent, I was expecting a completely overpowering spicy scent with a hint of floral. But I can honestly say that this scent surprised me.

Though the first spray is a little sharp, it quickly quiets down once the skin warms it up. Taking the spicy musk down to a creamier tone in no time. Then, just as I think I have a grasp on the scent, the citrus sneaks in to take the spotlight.

It's a scent layered with so much, and they all work so seamlessly together.
I shamelessly got my fellow employee in the cosmetics department to hand over all of the little spray samples that had been left over from a whole year. I keep them in my purse and have given some to my friends to share the 'with love' - pun completely intended ^-^

This fragrance was a pleasant surprise for me with its warm oriental notes. It is one of the best celebrity fragrances in my opinion. The opening is sweet in a really pleasanr gourmand way and the heart is woody and ambery. The only problem is that it doesn't seem to last long on my skin. The bottle is very beautiful.

Truly an acquired scent for those who are willing to go out of their comfort zone.
Few people would warm up to this immediately - it's one of those rare fragrances that you have to take time and think about before you actually decide to hate or love it.

The fact that this was created by a tween pop idol is rather unusual, but its enticing, luminous scent differs from mainstream celevrity scents. This has earnt my respect.

i know that this perfume has been out for a while. I had tried when it first came out. at thst time, i didnt know much about perfume, and all i remember smelling is SWEET! But i saw the huge 3.3 oz beautiful bottle in a set with a small lotion at Walmart for $20.00. so i got it after reading good reviews. it is so different than a remember it! i am not a spicey perfume person at all, but this is spicey in a very exotic way. its almost like a deep mango cocoa butter. i personally adore the top notes the best. the only thing a dont like is that it doesn;t seem to last very long on me. all the revies said how strong and long lasting it was, but not on me :(... even with the lotion. anyway, to me this is a very exotic spicey/woody scent.. so different that what a usually buy, and that's what makes it special!

This is the only fragrance I've ever tried that opens with a nice slightly sweet floriental wood scent, to dry down to a sweet floral fruity gourmand. The lovely wood goes as fast as it comes-the wood I smell is spices apparently, but after the flight of the spices I smell no wood...just sweet dustiness. Not a remarkable fragrance by any stretch of the imagination, but decent enough for cheap scents.

What a stir this fragrance caused over the last few weeks! Based on the glowing reviews & reasonable price I decided to try a little With Love, wondering which camp I would end up in...lovers or haters.

Normally, I'm very decisive about a fragrance: I know what I like & if it doesn't meet the mark, I'm not interested. But, with WL, I'm on the fence. I wasn't expecting a luxury perfume & on that score, I got what I paid for.

That said, this fragrance has some interesting & redeeming qualities: it is not your run-of-the-mill sweety, fruity celeb concoction....this one IS different, & quite strikingly so, due to the addition of a very strong cocbolo wood note. It transported me back on my travels to a shadey hut where beautiful bowls & ornaments were being hand-turned, shavings falling to the floor, the polished wood giving off a spikey, slightly rosey, resinous scent.

Combine this with a wonderful mango & anise opener, a rich & honeyed fruity heart (similar to Halle, but, to my nose, less artificial) & plenty of light amber & you have a deep, sweet, rich & spicey fragrance with good projection & lasting power. "Sensual", "fruity & fun" & "unique" ...I was suprised to receive so many compliments.

This one may be a "grower" - the more I wear it the more I enjoy it, but I wish there was a luxury version where all the notes were more refined, rounded & as smoothly polished as the cocobolo wood.

All-in-all worth every penny I paid for it, but not a fragrance I love. My award for "cheap-but-fantastic" still goes to Cocoon.

'With Love' is certainly not a run of the mill pink fruit confection. I would describe it as a Pineapple Punch (as in a punch in the nose with a cedar wood club!) It has a certain bitter-incense charm but I would far prefer it on a man. Unfortunately my teen daughter used it with a very heavy hand. Used sparingly, in cold weather, I can see how it could make an enticing change from girly florals. But use with caution! Tends to linger on clothes even after washing.

When i try With love i think that my brother could wear this fragance. it's so complex,deep and sweet, the cocobolo and the spices make it strong and put a lot of personality to the fragance. Hilary Duff take a lot of risks in make this oriental spice, but i have to admit it is pleasantly different and enchanting if we compared 'with love' to the other always-the-same-fruity/floral fragance from pop singers.

The bottle is sooo classy and chic and that luxurious component is also caught in the scent..

Omg at first I was soo disappointed, its smells way too spicier than I thought, and for some reason I could smell washing up liquid. Not enough fruit or sweetness for my liking!

..But the dry down smells so much better, like a warm vanilla-ish/apricot base; but I purchase fragrances that have a great beginning, middle and end..this ONLY has a great end so I sure won't be buying this again!

Like many others, I too bought this one based on the reviews here, and at first, felt I'd made a mistake.
With Love can be pretty overwhelming when you don't know what to expect. It's a huge sillage monster cleverly disguised in a pretty bottle and representing a pretty actress.
I over did it my first time out and thought it was un-wearable--just way too sweet for me. Since then I've sprayed more judiciously and found WL to be rather appealing. In addition to the mango and cocobolo wood, it has an anise note which to me, distinguishes it from the flock of celebrity scents.
I still have to be in the mood for it, but I'm keeping it and will just use small amounts.
Be warned, this one has tremendous staying power too. To be "Without Love" requires a hot shower with lots of soap. Still, if you like sweet, woody scents and appreciate anise, it's definitely worth a try.

I bougt it based on the reviews and I still think it smells a bit cheap...it is woodsy which saves it from being horribly cheap..but some notes seem to conflict with each other..like it just doesnt smell right
but I am sorry it isnt classy at all, I cant wear it..I guess it isnt refined like I expected it to be!!!

Bought it unsniffed after reading all the positive reviews and I don´t regret it because now I have another great fragrance in my collection. Compared to many other celeb fragrances this really stands out. It´s both fresh and spicy, an interesting combination indeed. The stayingpower is also impressive. I really like this perfume.

I bought this in the 15 ml from WalMart today for $13 and I have to say that it's quite nice. To me it reminds me of Victoria's Secret Super Model which I also have and like. I love the amber in the dry down and to me that's makes this a nice scent for fall and winter. For a celebrity fragrance this is very well done and mature. The bottle is very pretty too.

Truly one of a kind.

I did not expect this from Hilary Duff as I find it a little mature for a teen idol like her. But still, 'With Love' has my respect.

A spontaneous combination of subtle florals and creamy notes. Rich and enticing.

Im curious to wonder how her tween fans felt about it though.

Such a surprise - I hate 'celeb scents' with a passion, but someone gave me a bottle of this and I tried it out of curiosity, expecting the usual mediocre grapefruity mess that seems so prevalent in celeb brands. What a surprise! This is a gorgeous, warm oriental fragrance with a delicious underlying sweetness, very different to the run of the mill celeb scent you might be expecting. So glad I tried it! I've nearly finished the bottle now so will have to buy more.

I was very disappointed because I bought With Love, I liked it, my husband liked it and then I broke out in hives all over my body a couple of hours after using it! I took Benedryl, waited a few days for the hives to go away and tried it again, hoping the allergic reaction was due to something else but it happened again so I had to return it :( I've never had this happen before so I guess With Love and I weren't meant to be...

This is a second review. The first time I tested the fragrance, I had just begun smelling different perfumes. Now that I've smelled many more, I realized how unique this fragrance really is. Although I'm still not a fan of Hilary Duff, I think that fragrances should be evaluated regardless of the face they put on them. And this scent is one that I still remember after having tested it once a year ago. It is rich and complex, and one of the most distinguishable smells I have tried. I am definitely getting a bottle next time these go on sale again!

I adored this scent from the moment I picked up the vintage-inspired bottle and sprayed it on my skin. It is sweet and innocent, yet more sophisticated than I was led to expect by the fact that it has a teen-star's name imprinted on the box.

I think that, for a celebrity perfume, this one was quite nicely done. Growing up, my much younger sister was a fan of Hillary Duff's television show, Lizzie McGuire, as well as a fan of the actress herself, and I think that as a role model, Duff did a good job of maintaining her own, respectable personality while still providing a relatable character for teens to look up to. Far from the likes of Paris Hilton, who seems to enjoy shocking people with her lack of intelligence, or Britney Spears, who seems to enjoy shocking people by exposing her various body parts, I was happy to purchase a bottle of Duff's perfume for my sister at Christmastime a few years ago.

It's far from the fruity, mindless scents that Duff's peers have introduced and which faded away, unnoticed. It's a very light, sweet amber, and while young at heart, it hints at something sexier and more intelligent. It's very airy and seems to create an aura, rather than a cloud of scent. The bottle is adorable. It could definitely have better lasting power but this was aimed at teens, who seem to always apply with a heavier hand than neccesary so maybe that's not such a bad thing! ;)

Though the initial whiff is one of sweetness, this dries down into a lovely spicy scent. Still sweet after the dry down, it evolves into something more than I had initially anticipated, and that was a pleasant surprise for me.

On my skin it's reminiscent of chai tea sweetened with sugar... It has an underlying creaminess to it, but there's still a bit of a kick. It's nice for everyday wear as it's not overly potent like some orientals tend to be. I love it.

This fragrance is very nice, very grown up and not at all what I would expect from something with Hilary Duff's name on it (in fact, I wish it didn't have her name on it because I would feel silly buying it). To me, it's very similar to Halle Berry's perfume, maybe it's the cocobolo and amber, but the amber in With Love is mild, whereas, in Halle, it's strong to the point that I was turned off by it and wouldn't wear it.

The mangosteen is slightly bitter and sour giving it an odd beginning for me. Or could it be the balsam or cocobolo? Warm and spicy chai latte levels it off. Sparkling and golden amber, very rich and smooth soon develops. It dries down to a sweet and warm woodsy incense skin scent. I really get the amber milk and amber musk on my skin the most. I smell the sour/bitterness a little throughout but it mixes well with the other notes just a little weird at first.

Update: I just purchased Wrapped With Love and it has double notes of the mangosteen and its not bitter so it must be the cocobolo wood. Its not bad I was just curious what made that smell..

This fragrance I wanted so bad! I live in Norway and it was not realeased here before month's after it hit the shelves in America. I never wanted a fragrance so bad before, I even dreamt about it!It sounded amazing and it is. A really unique fragrance. Spices, chai latte, cocobolo and amber are some of the notes who made me really want it. It's an amazing perfume, and defentlig not for teens who maybee will be drawn by Hilary Duff's name on it. And by the way, the box is beautiful! Overall a sophisticated warm scent. And to me, I dont think of it as a celebrity scent;)

This is a fall/winter fragrance for me. Warm and sophisticated

Like others, this one totally surprised me! It is so unique and warm. I barely know who Hilary Duff is, but after getting a sample--I just had to buy a big bottle. As I wear it the 'milky' warmth continue to radiate from my skin. I've even bought a second bottle to keep in my purse! I JUST LOVE it!

Update: After wearing this for a month or so, it has become one of my top 3 scents. I'm hoarding it now--won 2 more great deals on ebay, and got the gel and lotion.

There's something about this scent that reminds me of my favorite food--Thai food.

Wow!! I was so surprised that I quite liked this. Still not what I have been looking for but so not teen or girly. Very grown up, sweet, woody and spicy. Dare I say quite smooth too? I would only wear it for evening though as I think it is quite strong but not in an overpowering way. The search continues though.....

This is a little too spicy for my liking. It's not a horrible smell, the drydown was quite a likable deep amber, but there was something about With Love that just didn't seem right. Perhaps it's the strength of the overall fragrance, which is rather overpowering when first applied that ruins this fragrance for me. I could imagine myself liking this if it was a lighter EDT version.

I don't think it's a bad perfume, but my friend has this. And when i first smelled it, i think it smells like Believe, coz both of 'em has amber. But this one is too similiar, so i'd stick with Believe instead.

I love it. One of my favorite. I love the smell of mangosteen. It really is different from the other celebrity fragrances and other cheap floral fruities. It is sophisticated and unique in the would of fragrances.

Nice combination of sweet and spicy, not floral at all. Even though the magosteen fruit is tropical it's still a very warm scent, I pick up the cocobolo wood and amber a lot. I love the classy golden bottle.

Even though this is Hilary Duff's fragrance, I don't think it's suitable for a young girl just starting to wear perfume. It's too strong and smells more appropriate for someone at least in high school.

This one was a surprise - very nice, especially for the price. If I was blind-testing it, I'd peg it as a more expensive perfume than it is.

It is more sophisticated than you would expect from someone as young as Hillary Duff, so I'm not sure what age group this was made for. But for me, and I'm not in my twenties, it works. And works very well.

I find myself reaching for it on cold winter nights ... comfort food for my soul.

On me it begins with a spicy-mango-citrus blast, unfolding very smoothly and slowly into a cup of warm vanilla chai latte in the drydown. More of a gourmand fragrance than anything.

I'm on the hunt for other fragrances that have that vanilla chai-latte thing going on - any suggestions...???

I have this and after testing it I don't think I like it very much... it's too spicy on me. If I kept it, it's definitely not something I'd wear everyday. Probably for special occasions. Actually I don't even know when I would wear this... :( I wish the mangosteem came out a little bit more, it's one of my favorite fruits...
UPDATE: I do want to add that this is one of the few fragrances that I find memorable. I only did one test and I can still remember the scent. :)

The top notes are sweet but not intrusive. I can smell a lot of cocoa cake, just like Ralph Hot (but in "With Love" the concotion worked).
One hour later the woods gain space but I still can smell cocoa.
That´s the first time that I´m using this perfume and I´m enjoying it a lot.

Beautiful and warm, this is not your typical teeny boop fragrance. With love is sensuous and I get a lot of the vanilla. Its great for everyday and last a long time. I think the bottle is gorgeous.

A wonderful scent experience from start to finish! For a long time I was resistant towards trying it out because for some reason I thought it would be in the same vein as Curious by Britney Spears, which I do not like. But I recently decided to spritz it on myself and was instantly hooked. This is definitely not your typical sweet, fruity teenybopper fragrance lacking character or depth.
The opening is sweet, but the sweetness mixed with the spice turns it into something unique, something more soft and creamy with a bit of zest. To me, it is reminiscent of coconut with anise and liquorice. It evokes a feeling of passion and intrigue, intermingled with a youthful exburance and innocence.
Over time, the fragrance on my skin trails off into the base woody and musky notes, and I even get a hint of something resembling incense. That's when it becomes wonderfully soft and soothing.
Hilary Duff has done very well in choosing this composition to be her fragrance!

I got this as a gift and I love it...I have so many fruity & floral fragrances that this one was a relief to get. I like the fact that it doesn't fade that quick like other fragrances I've tried. I like the colors of her wrapped in love fragrance better. It looks more girly, this one is a little on the plain side but still ok.

As soon as I smelled this on my wrist, I immediately picked up two scents: caramel and smokey woods. It is a very deep, sensual perfume. The lasting power is good, and I think this would be nice for fall/winter.

This perfume is so spicy, subtle and perfect. Love IT!! This is my secret weapon perfume, men go crazy when they smell it. I'll admit I never expected a Hillary Duff perfume to be so exotic and sexy.

The scent starts out like a coconut cream pie! Yum! It dries off and it changes to something unique and lovely. Very pretty scent. The only downfall is that it seems to wear off rather quickly.

A very well done composition which really suprises me as I would have expected the normal run-of-the-mill sort of short-live, light, sweet and girlie celebrities fragrances that flooded the market with no end in sight.

A big thumbs up as it really hold a class of its not and above most soon to be forgotten as well as those forgettable ones.

If this comes from a major perfume house, it will soon be on the way to be a classic.

I was suprised by this one. It was really nice. It's definitely NOT a fruity floral. It's a warm oriental. The base is a blend of very light mossy woods. It has a very light pretty milky amber with bubbly florals. If champagne had a smell this would be it!I really like it.

It was developed by perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Stephen Nilsen. The notes as listed by Duff include: mangosteen fruit, exotic spices, chai latte, mangosteen blossom, cocobolo wood, balsam, incense, amber milk and amber musk.

My only gripe with this one is that, on my skin the lasting power is horrid! It only lasts 10-20 minutes if that long. It seems to last much longer on fabric tho.

It's a much more grown up fragrance than what I had expected, especially from such a young girl. I'm not sure that I like it, at all, but I don't hate it. It seems wearable.

I love this fragrance... it is a light oriental and so rich and sensual smelling. I wear this on evenings I'm feeling flirtish. One of the better celebrity offerings.
