I don’t want to cry alone on this: I purchased a month ago a Nishane Deziro from Jomashop for $89 (tester) and was “delivered” today. Other 2 preowned Nishanes from Mercari - Ambra Calabria and Wulong Cha were to be delivered today too. In the end 2 boxes was not delivered and marked as it, and the Ambra Calabria from Mercari, the guy used a strong tape to hold the lid and removed all the name from the bottle. To be honest, was not as I expected, remember a lot Ani, that I don’t like too much, so I will return it. So, the score was 2 fails self gift from 1 day before my bday :(

After seeing a short review by Redollessence on YouTube I stopped by Dillard’s to see if I could grab a sample and to my surprise they had some tester bottles. The fragrance won’t be in store until 5/1 but the lady was nice enough to make me a sample! I also grabbed samples of Musk Therapy and Paragon! While I was in store she sprayed my hand once and all I can say is I was hooked from first spray! This is an amazing fruity, fougere type fragrance with a musky dry down. It’s tough for me to explain because it keeps changing and every change is just as good as the opening. I have no idea on longevity yet but the projection is phenomenal! I can hold my arm straight out and still smell it on my hand from I’m guessing 3ft away. If this doesn’t hit discounters by May 11th when I come home from my cruise this will be the first niche I’ve ever bought at full retail. It’s that good!
