The other disappointing thing about this scent is the projection. By that, I mean, the complete absence of it. I've applied this twice to each wrist, and I'm still shoving it under my nose. It's so faint; I'm half-convinced I'm making up notes: I tested this morning *at* church, which feels incredibly risky to me. However, I had a feeling it wouldn't be a super noticeable fragrance, and that I'd be fairly safe in it (I try not to be ostentatious in there), and I was right. This isn't a very unique, unusual or loud perfume at all. It's understandable, familiar (a fruity musk) and courteous. I'm usually relatively sensitive to freesia as it's quite heady and super-sweet...and there's minimal sweetness here. Passion flower is also very distinctive - Think "Hypnose" - where it's done *beautifully*, or even "Incredible Things". I get none in "Floral Rush". Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.

I quite like the smell out of the bottle and *as* it comes out the bottle, but as soon as it hits my skin, it changes to a flat, bland smell.I think the same logic applies to the longevity - some say it lasts forever, others says it does not last at all - so this must have to do with skin chemistry, too.

The top accords are champagne, pink pepper and apricot blossom. Pink passion flower, marigold and white freesia are located in the heart, while the base notes include ambergris, musk and cashmere wood. Whatever I'm smelling isn't bad. Okay? It's NOT bad. I just don't get anything special or even remotely noticeable in a normal perfume-sense. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). Fragrance lasts longer on damp skin and blooms when worn on moisturized skin. Apply your fragrance right out of the shower while your skin is clean and warm. Your pores are open and can soak up the fragrance. As your skin warms up during the day, the scent of perfume gets released slowly.I'm a young girl all over again. This fragrance is not what I'd call mature. If you seek maturity, look for Vera Wang for Women or Bouquet. This fragrance is very much along the same lines as the Princess range. The singular main note is the pink pepper which dominates like a crazy mother-in-law. The marigold is what gives it a very earthy flower scent. Not floral: Flower. This is the flower, stem, roots, and dirt clods attached to those roots - don't say you don't get what you pay for. I can't say I own too many perfumes that have such a strong woodsy note, but I like it here. It gives this scent a maturity, it's definitely for a grown woman and not a teen. How many more of the Sephora "try me" coffrets will I be buying? (Well, perhaps if they start producing them for L'Artisan Parfumeur, which is now apparently a part of their line-up...) On their face, the coffrets a great deal: you pay less than the cost of a bottle of perfume for a box which contains ten or so samples, and you receive a voucher to exchange for the bottle of perfume which you have in effect paid for up front. In other words, the samples are free.
