I bought this blindly against my better judgement. I bought one called anyway buy this brand that was so gross. I took a chance after reading good reviews and I'm glad that I did. I'm actually on a mission to find something much like Chloe and was hoping for more of a soapy Rose. This is more of a realistic rose smell. It's not soapy at all. Longevity is good for a fresh natural perfume like it is. It lasts about 2 hours on my skin before I have to reapply. That might not sound great but it's been my experience that all clean fresh scents as well as colognes disappear very quickly on the skin. This is no exception. This one however is worth it because it's quite beautiful.
