I decided to buy this perfume because I was looking for something that smells strongly of jasmine, with the note noticeable right away. I know this perfume is discontinued, but I’m not sure when. The bottle I received was from a batch made in September 2018, which means it’s about seven years old and past the recommended usage timeframe. When I first spray it on my skin, the scent is still nice, but it’s not very strong and only lasts about 30 minutes before I need to reapply. I think it would deserve a higher rating if the longevity were better, but this may be biased since the bottle is so old. I just wish I could get the newest batch so it would be worth the money.
