The only positive about this perfume was its longevity, it prolonged the shower freshness for a few hours, so I suppose it was an OK solution for my hot Greek summers. They never smelt like this at all and i know that my nose is still intact and isn't stuffed up or anything like that but maybe these days a syntheticness is added as the ingredients are too expensive to make the original anymore.
