All 4 of the original gem perfumes (Rubies, Diamonds, Emeralds & Sapphires) smell pretty much exactly like each other with nuances of one thing or another. Too muddy with ingredients, too similar to the others. This one was both my husband's & my least favorite of the group. VERY potent old-lady smell that lasts through multiple washes. Smells identical to White Shoulders & is about the same price +/- $2. Might smell better in time but Passion wins hands down over this as a much nicer profile, kinder to my nose. 3/10 The pros & cons listed online are accurate!
