Always

I am in love with Alfred Sung's Always (but yeah, I hate the name too). Fresh, sweet,floral, and classy like most of the products from the house of Sung--this is a fragrance for the mature lady. The sweetness of always isn't candy sweet nor is it a vanilla bomb as so many are right now. Always strikes the perfect balance between delicate femininity and strength. I think the neroli was very well done in this fragrance and the kumquat helps lend a little effervescence as well. The sillage and longevity are awesome, lasting well over 8 hours on me after a couple of sprays. Many compliments on this one. The scent is appropriate for the office, evenings, and special occasions. Rating 9 out of 10.

When I think of Alfred Sung, I think of non-offensive, office-friendly, classic clothing and fragrances. This fragrance fits the bill. This is another fresh cool floral with a mildly citrus suggestion. There is a tiny bit of sandalwood in the drydown which I wish would come out more but it's overwhelmed by the strong floral notes.

I kept seeing this in TJ Maxx for $20 (3.4 fl. oz), but didn't get it since I didn't want to buy it unsniffed. Luckily, Marshall's had the body lotion, so I was finally able to get a sniff. Always is everything I wanted Banana Republic W to be and wasn't. I'm definitely a happy woman!

Blind buy for me and I'm quite happy. Floral and citrus. The citrus is very well done, not cheap or immature. But the scent is not old lady-ish either. Good office or anytime scent.

Lovely clean and elegant floral with a very mild citrus. Silage 6+ with no projection (something I do not like). It is a skin scent and perfect to wear for bed. Lovely bottle.
