[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This classic perfume is elegant and warm, making it great for fall and winter. The bottle is beautiful and makes for a great display bottle. The scent is strong but also long-lasting with warm notes that I might not gravitate towards so much in spring and summer, but will use it as a transitional scent heading into fall.

Sophisticated and Mature
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is what I would consider to be a mature and sophisticated scent. You can definitely pick up on the vanilla and amber. It also has a powdery smell. Would be best for a black tie event or with formal attire. The packaging is also very elegant. Long lasting scent, even after running errands all morning and afternoon. It is not my usual scent profile, but I will use it on formal occasions.

Perfect balance of notes
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This perfume has a really nice balance of vanilla and floral notes. The vanilla is not too sweet or overpowering and the floral scent complements the vanilla, rather than competing with it. The wearability of the scent lasts a while although I wouldn’t say it lasts all day. The bottle is beautiful. I loved this perfume so much I used it as my wedding day scent!

sophisticated and complex
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is definitely a more sophisticated frangance and not something I would reach for everday. It is a more powdery smell than I prefer. It does become warmer and more vanilla comes through as it wears. It is a complex scent that I might wear for a dressier night out.

She is a sassy scent but gets classy once dry.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] A truly nostalgic scent. Smells great but not the scent profile I usually go for. I forgot I tested it and was pleasantly surprised by the dry down, that is where the magic happens! She's strong with a nice dry down. Give it a chance. She's a great change of pace.

Musky Vanilla- not my favorite
The design of the bottle is nice, kind of old fashioned looking. The scent is quite musky, powdery and vanilla forward. It is not my cup of tea- thus the rating.

Rich and warm, perfect for fall.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Old money is the best way to describe this scent! It's full of amber and vanilla which creates a warm scent that surrounds you for the day! It has a great wear time and I continue to notice it even at the end of my work day. The bottle is classy and timeless, definitely will add to my collection!
Bottom line: want to give old money mysterious woman vibes? This is it.

Warm vanilla scent
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really like the warm vanilla scent of this perfume. It's sweet and cozy without being overly sugary, with a nice warm, slightly spicy touch. The scent lasts really well too. I can still smell it at the end of the day. The bottle is also beautiful and looks very elegant on my vanity.

sweet and powdery. long lasting!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First, the bottle is so luxe and looks stunning on my shelf. Second, the scent lasts incredibly well on me. I spray it on in the morning and I can still smell it at the end of the day. I consider it to be buildable and have no issues when reapplying. I personally get overwhelmed easily with perfume so I tend to use one spray and am good. I like that one spray works well and lasts all day on me. I knocked off one star solely due to my personal preference on the scent. It leans more powdery than sweet/vanilla. If it had a slightly stronger vanilla note, I think I'd be obsessed with this. The scent is nice, but definitely has that powdery, iris heavy scent. It's lovely, just not my personal favorite scent for myself. The longevity makes me curios to try other scents from Guerlain!

Long lasting
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This perfume has such a rich elegant smell. It is very long lasting and absorbs quickly. I was able to smell it on my skin through out the day. I also received several compliments while simply walking past someone. The bottle is designed so cute. I really love this timeless scent that I will never get tired of.
