Peony/Rose
Ellen Tracy

I got this on a whim because it was so inexpensive and it's turned into a favorite. Very nice "sugared rose" with peony but it does not get overly sweet; the peony keeps it honest. I wear it to work when I can't think of what else to wear because it's the perfect office fragrance. Longevity is excellent for a floral. I think this was a limited edition, so I should probably get more soon, as well as the body lotion. Very easy to live with and has moderate sillage without being too much.

(The bottle is weird - Interesting to look at but its shape makes it hard to hold with one hand so I have to be careful not to drop it and support it with my other hand while spraying . That's a minor point though.)

Delightful, easy-going, perfect for warm spring days. The rose is not that pronounced, it is done with light hand and smells very fresh and green. The peony is quite authentic -- tart and powdery at the same time. Bears the certain resemblance to the original Ellen Tracy including the lovely cinnamon note (I am not a fan of cinnamon in fragrances in general) and long-lasting sandalwood dryout.

Not a masterpiece, but very very pleasant for wearing every day or to work. The price is right, which is important.
