This smells quite similar to la vie est belle intensement. Strong and long lasting. I find that whenever I get any palermo perfumes they smell alright at first but I need to store them aside for a couple of weeks to let it settle and macerate a little, after I bring them back out most of the time I love them. The only thing that kind of let's them down is the bottle, while I haven't had any trouble with my sprayers (and I have well over 20 of these) the cheap light plastic lid just doesn't feel nice to me and I don't reach for them as much for this reason. Not an overall complaint, just a pet peve.
