This sophisticated perfume combines white floral, animalic and musky accords for a tantalizing and majestic scent you’ll feel powerful wearing from day to night. Feel like you're walking through botanical gardens with the breeze blowing through your hair as you plan your next big goals to tackle.

Fragrance Family:

Citrus, floral

Scent Type:

Sweet, warm

Notes:

Top notes include night-blooming jasmine, plump peach, orange blossom and tuberose. Middle notes of yellow ylang-ylang, lilac, gardenia, delicate red rose, carnation and honeysuckle mix for a luscious, floral bouquet that’s unforgettable. Finally, base notes of civet, blackcurrant, white musk and Indian sandalwood round out the fragrance for a sensual, romantic aroma that is bound to turn heads from every direction. Step into a flourishing flower garden with a zesty allure with every spritz of Design Perfume.

Suggested Use

For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.

This is the way to purchase any perfume!

This perfume I will wear till the day I die! And they better spray it on me before they bury me. I get compliments daily on this perfume. I spray it in my hair, on my sheets, and sometimes even a couple sprays around the house. The best way to get the full effect, is putting it on right after you

shower, when you are still wet, this way the perfume will absorb into your skin and lock in with any lotion or moisturizer you put on. What makes this perfume so wonderful is it's ability to mix with other scented lotions you may use, it also smells good with those nasty smelling self tanners, (which smell awful), and you can blend it with other scents, and it smells even more amazing. I use it all the time with lotions that are scented with amber, vanilla, and even floral type scents. It compliments all scents. This is a great perfume, and I would recommend it to anyone, and only buy it from this on-line retailer, which happens to have the best price! Trust me, I have been buying it for years, and even the "big box" retailers can't beat this price!

Sweet smell of Gardenia

It brings back old memories of gardenia perfume that women used to wear. You have to be very careful how much you spray because it is powerful. I love the design of the bottle and cap.
