Ever since this perfume came out I was excited to get it and try it so I finally used up all my other perfumes and thought it was hight time to get this one. However, soon after it arrived and I put it on I was disappointed to see that the fragrance wears off faster than cotton candy in a hurricane. I know our nose quickly adapts to the new fragrance and we can't smell it ourselves but I asked my wife and she couldn't smell it either after an hour. On the other hand my Valentino intense really lasts the entire day and is noticeable on clothes until it's washed. So it's not my sense of smell either. This is also not my first bad experience with BVLGARI, I also had the BVLGARI Men in Black, same thing so I think I will keep clear of this brand in the future. If it works for someone else I am glad because the notes are really nice.
