Yes, this perfume is expensive, yes, your worth it. I love, love, love it. At first I was stingy using it, but my boy friend said, if it makes me feel good wear it, I should wear it when I want, and I wear it every day. I get compliments from family, friends, co-workers (some have asked what it was), and even strangers in the gas station and super market, etc. Of course my boy friend loves it on me. I'm worth it, and so are you! This is my 3rd bottle in 2 years. Again, I wear it every day, this last bottle lasted roughly 6 months. Thats $23.67 a month or .78 cents a day. Thats my splurge, I don't get my nails done, I dont' buy a lot of expensive jewelry or clothes, etc. But at 60, I have had stangers (and yes, men) stop me in a isle just to tell me how good I smell. Now that is a compliment!
