It smells really good to me! It really does smells like a lemon cake or dessert with a drizzle icing like some other reviews have stated! I overspray so it will make you sneeze at first because of the alcohol content but the alcohol settles down pretty fast! I get compliments everytime that I wear it! I had a waitress follow me to my table to tell me how great I smelled...she said that she smelled me at the door and had to know what I was wearing! It dries down to a powdery fragrance after a while and it doesn't last all day on me... a few hours, tops! I also think that it's worth mentioning that I like the sprayer on the bottle, and the bottle is a frosted glass which is very pretty to me! It covers a lot of surface with each spray! I do plan to purchase another bottle when this one runs out but I have so many other fragrances that I'm trying to wear that I don't know when that will be! Good purchase overall! ??
