i was hesitant at first to even order a perfume online, cuz its so risky. like how can i even know it smells good?? but nonetheless, i took the risk. and im sooo glad i did. at first i thought i wouldn't like it. cuz at first spray, it smells too masculine. but once the initial strong smell wears off, you're left with this soft, powdery smell that really does lingers on for hours. and that's what's important to me. a lot of people might not know this, but when buying perfumes, don't be swayed by the initial smell. let it soften and linger for a good while, and then smell it again. the after smell ( that's what i like to call it ) is what you're after. because that's the scent that will stay for hours. and usually it smells a lot different that the initial smell.
