This fragrance is a very feminine one, but not shy, at least on me. It lasts forever, I can smell it on my clothes weeks after wearing it. It's a heady mix of berry and earthy elements, and though there are some floral notes, they're exotic ones, not just the standard floral notes. If there's one thing about Salvador Dali fragrances, it's that they, like him, are completely original! I've never smelled a fragrance like this one, and I love it!
