I am a HUGE fan of all things perfume! Donna Karan is calling this fragrance a floral - i disagree because whilst the florals are definately there, they are very watery and transparent and it's not long until you get the "drop of vanilla in water". It's a very fresh and clean scent, some say aggresively so. I always tell people that you can't judge a perfume until you've tried it on yourself - everyone person's skin is different and frangrances will always smell different on you, than they do on your friend. This frangrance is perfect for a fresh scent in the hot summers!
