Sweet Jesus! This is a gem and to think I was hesitant to throw this in my cart. Without looking at notes I got sweet gardenia woody ginger bergamot - now I see the woody must be the orris note and neroli mixture. This is Spring; this is a blouson dress with a big straw hat; this is crumpets and tea, a garden party or going to a wedding shower; this is a I'm so pretty scent. Sweetish white floral scent with a tiny bit of spice

I agree this is a beautiful fragrance. It is, in my opinion, not a perfume for someone very young, although it is not an "old lady" smell. It is a lovely warm and quite alluring scent, and perfect for a romantic evening. You can usually get this perfume for a very reasonable price.

utterly unique and beautiful and unlike anything I own; aquatic with heliotrope, ylang, gardenia, cardamom, bergamot, vanilla; must have lotus or water lily in it too

Finished my last bottle a couple of weeks ago. Such a shame this has been discontinued. It was a very classy and classic fragrance.

I was gifted this rather beautiful large bottle of MW yesterday by a wonderfully generous (Angel wearing) colleague who knows I love perfumes! What a doll! I wore it to work today and was complimented several times on my fragrance by different people. This is in a similar vein to Amarige to me but much lighter and less spiced. I would have sworn it was a fruity floral, I don't get any vanilla but now after wearing for a day, I understand the oriental part - it is the opening which deceives with a massive burst of lime, gardenia and jasmine which quickly (& I mean quickly, like 5 mins or like walking straight into a flower shop, then out again) drops down to something light and imminently work and daytime friendly and highly inoffensive. I am potty about gardenia so this bottle will get a good workout with me but will definitely be relegated to the "safe" zone in my perfume drawer! After wearing Cinnabar, I cannot detect more than an aldehydic hint of cinnamon in this fragrance, which is fine by me - nothing can (or ever will, I suspect) replace Cinnabar for cinnamon perfumes for me!
