The SM Novella spray that was received came to me with a lovely note and beautiful packaging. I was excited to try it because I am such a fan of the brand that I thought a room spray could be a cheaper alternative to getting the SM Novella experience. Suffice to say, the fragrance was just- good. Nothing special. A light minty citrus not unlike the smell of toothpaste or a premium mouth wash. I was hoping that the scent itself would be a little more interesting and exotic, perhaps even a little more complex. Still, a quite pleasant scent. The performance however was the biggest disappointment. 1 spray would last maybe 20-30 mins in a bathroom. 2 sprays just the same. 4 or 5 sprays is needed to adequately perfume the air for at least an hour and if you're using this stuff daily (as I like highly scented spaces) the bottle is half finished after a week of use. While I do enjoy it, I would not say that the spray is worth price and that there are cheaper brands that offer better room spray experiences (I even use Tea Rose by The Perfume Workshop priced at $9 to perfume the space and it is far more powerful and pleasant). Overall not bad, but just slightly disappointing.
