I dont know why I'm so pleasantly surprised with how much I like this scent. I think I got turned off by the non stop ads that flooded the market back in the day. Since it has lasted several decades now, I thought Id give it try. If purple had a scent, this would be it. It is delightfully sophisticated and dries down to a pleasing powdery trail that lasts a nice amount of time. What a bargain for such a classic that so many have enjoyed.
