I was very hesitant when I placed my order for this eau de toilette; I was worried about getting a counterfeit. I received an authentic fragrance (happy to say) and I examined every nook and cranny to make sure serial numbers, box/bottle detailing match a similar item from Macy's. So, I am really happy about that! I have heard that it is a more Spring/Summer fragrance because of the citrus opening note. On my skin, the citrus note smells like an breezy/sunny 'lift' with a moderately warm, complex middle note and a slightly sweet/velvety base note later on. So, the tone was not singular at all, as most people say; I really like it. I find that it works for me during the Winter, which can be damp, cold, and depressing. In the cold/snowy days of January in NY, the fragrance comes off as what the French would call "envoutant" but escapist (hard to say which I prefer; maybe both); a definite recommendation to friends.
