I absolutely loved the smell of this perfume when I tested it in the shop. After I bought and came home, I realised its become way too powdery for me. The nice sweet rose oud scent doesn't last as long and changes to more of an intense powdery smell. I'm hoping it will change after using it a few weeks and keeping the bottle out of the box and gently shaking it before spraying. With these perfumes, its always good to test on your skin and check the smell again in 30mins to see how it has changed before buying. Its very long lasting though and the smell is overpowering. Now I'm thinking I should have got the non extrait version, although I did smell it at the store and it didnt smell anything extra ordinary while this extrait one did, but it changes after 30mins.
