I typically wear Burberry London (the original scent) for my everyday perfume and was looking for something similar, but different enough that I could switch things up. When I discovered this, I'd found my next everyday signature scent. Absolutely delish. The fragrance notes profile is listed in Overstock's description so no need to go over the various notes individually, but I'd list it as a woody/musk with just hints of floral. It's not overpowering and it won't give you or your spouse or coworkers the dreaded 'perfume headache'. (Translation: you won't be that lady in the elevator that makes everyone gag from her sickeningly strong and sweet odor.) It's pretty difficult to over-apply it and as pointed out in other reviews, it's rather subtle. *I* find it long-lasting because as it warms, just like with any quality fragrance, it only gets better. But most days I do refresh with additional applications. So a bottle of this won't last as long as something that only requires a single pump to get you through the day. But you'll receive so many compliments that you'll want to buy another bottle as soon as you can anyway. And at Overstock's price, why wouldn't you? Also, I'm allergic to many perfumes--they break me out in a rash. No Bvglari perfume has ever done that, including this one. ( I own a few of their more exotic, stronger perfumes but they're not ultimately appropriate for daytime wear, so I was thrilled to find Blanc.) I've smelled this on other women and it's equally delicious...so it's not one of those scents that doesn't work with everyone's pH. The bottle design is elegant and simple. So whether ordering for yourself or a loved one, I just don't think you can go wrong with this one.
