I really liked the feminine heart notes though and I found the sweet vanilla smell from the orchid, the airy aquatic nuances from the lotus and the headiness from the champaca delightful and it really reminds me of the tropics, like being in Singapore in the summer! I wore it yesterday again after a few months and multiple people smiled at me in public, which doesn’t normally happen in my country. Sorry, the perfume that makes me a Burlesque CEO has also been discontinued, so naming it has no use.

As soon as I spray it, it smells artificial and like alcohol, however, 10 mins later it turns into a very sweet and fruity fragrance, very seductive. I have a tip that might just do that AND that'll give you a great Amber fragrance with a bit of spice and very little flowers if you were looking for one. I was telling one of my girlfriends about my review of this perfume and she kindly reminded me that it was like 15 years ago, not a decade. I dropped a vial of this onto the floor of my old workplace and it shattered and made the office smell like… well, Euphoria… but my female coworkers kept saying they loved the smell and asked me what it was. Funny to think that the girls who wore the heck out of this in the late 2000s have long since settled down in the suburbs with their kids and their mortgages.Well they are so different—the lotion has none of the top notes and mahogany rings deep and even leathery tones as it sinks into your skin.

That’s probably what gives it that mature Not sure about that aspect of it, but I’ll give it some time to grow on me. These days it reminds me of the holidays (scent memories are weird like that) when I smell it I think of Christmas time. Now I’ll probably reserve it for evenings and cooler weather, even though I think it could still be worn anytime. Even though I didn't end up with a bottle until my 30's, this scent smells very familiar and very much 2000's to my nose. It is not a “big” scent like the name would imply but more of a close-to-skin experience with a narrow aperture of notes.Here, the ghost of the original is present, but it is much weaker, and behaves more like an aquatic floral-fruity with a synthetic amber base. Update: I'm smelling it on my arm again after a couple of hours and it smells fresh-spicy and sweet but not too intense.
