    I spritzed this while at the register waiting to return an online purchase. I guess I'm always drawn to the same type of fragrance - rose with musk (Stella by Stella McCartney is my go-to)....

    I tried this perfume on today, and at first it smells good/clean/fresh, but a bit strong. As it dries down, it gets better and better. On me, it smells like a lighter and more refined version of...

    I love this scent. I actually bought a mini of the Rosewood scent and only bought the mini of Alabaster because I would get a 25% off discount. However, I looooovvvveee this. Rosewood didn't cut...

    I'll start with what I don't like - the packaging SUCKS! The sprayer stopped working about half way through my bottle, and I hate that it doesn't sit upright. What I love though is the actual...

    A very long time ago, I smelled this in a magazine and it smelled great. It reminded me of nemat international perfume oil in arabian wood, which i love. I never got around to buying any since I...

    I must have some strange skin chemistry, because unlike most of the reviews posted on this site, I find this perfume lasts all day long. I also absolutely love the way it smells on me - it's just...

    I have to admit that I didn't expect much from a Banana Republic perfume, but this exceeded expectations. Good lasting power. This is the same EXACT scent as the old-school Betsey Johnson...

    Floral. Light yellowish.The rose in here is probably a tea rose or a yellow rose. The lotus scent lends a slightly watery, tropical edge and that faint sense of fleshy flowers on the edge of rot...

    I liked this in the store - took it home, and the scent didn't seem the same. There's a sharp quality to it that did not blend well with my chemistry. It's definitely an elegant scent, just not one...

    I really like this perfume. It is a nice, classic perfume that has a little (but not too much) musk in it with a clean floral finish with good staying power.

    I TOTALLY agree with DallasChic's comment. I had the exact same experience! In the magazine it smelled heavenly! So as soon as it came out I ran to buy one without trying it on. Good thing I...

    This is a beautiful, very light floral. Definetely a great girly daytime fragrance. I get a lot of the rose out of it. My one problem is that it is so light, it has no staying power, which is a...

    This perfume is not terribly exciting, and probably won't compel me to buy. However, it is fresh and light and in line with Banana Republic's aesthetic-- a clean, inoffensive office option.

    This scent is pretty good. It smelled better on the sample in the magazine I bought. It might be to strong for me. Nice scent just maybe to heavy for my taste.
