I received a sample of this fragrance with a previous purchase from Libertine. I love the scent but thought I could never justify spending so much on a bottle of perfume. After a while I wore the sample again and received complements on it. I was going through a bit of a hard time and decided to treat myself to this very luxurious perfume. Yes, this is a very expensive bottle of fragrance for many peoples budgets, but it’s worth the money. The quality is unlike any other, and it lasts longer on my skin than any other perfumes I’ve ever worn. It’s a potent formula, you don’t need many sprays so one bottle really will last a long time. As to the scent itself it feels elegant and unique. Although the bottle is strongly masculine the fragrance leans more toward the feminine side. I would recommend this fragrance for any woman who desires a sophisticated yet slightly mysterious scent.
