The best thing to do is to go to the perfume counter and try it out on your wrist first thing when you go to the mall/store. Leave it on and let it 'set' for about an hour or more, and see how it mixes with your own body chemistry. You will get two things out of this test: how long it lasts, and how it smells specifically on you. If you get one of those paper sample strips and spray that, you can't get a good idea of how it will smell on you (since we all have our own scent that we were born with and that scent mixed with perfume results in the fragrance changing a bit on our bodies). Try this trick next time you go shopping, and after an hour or more, if you still like it, try a small bottle! The counter may even have free samples since it is still a relatively new fragrance. HTH and good luck!!
