My brother bought this perfume for me for my birthday and I wasn't so sure of it at first as it is quite a strong smelling perfume but once I had it on, I got SO many compliments. And it really is a perfume that lasts longer than 30 minutes, It starts off with quite a sharp smell but then softens. The bottle is such an interesting design and captures the essence of this perfume "being a strong woman but still having that soft feminine side". I love it!
