For me, it smells like something people like me should not wear. I am in the young adults group, 20-30, and I'd say it smells more like something people 50-60 should wear. It sticks way too long. And by the end of the day, I'm telling myself how much I would smell better without this perfume. I also make a policy of using one bottle of perfume at a time. So, I couldn't wait to finish using this bottle. Luckily, I got 1 ml of sample so I used this pretty quickly.
