I'm actually quite puzzled as to why I love it as it seems much too over the top for me and I don't remember anyone dear to me wearing it when I was young. But every time I smell it, it makes me feel happy and giddy. So thank you!

It seemed so chic as I was young then, in my 20s. I couldn't wear it for long, however, much as I loved the smell because something made my throat feel like it was closing.
