As a blind buyOne blind buy, outcome unstated
One wearer bought it unsmelled at over half off and gives no verdict; another warns it is not a safe blind buy.
“I saw this Gucci perfume on sale for more than 50 percent off so I bought a 50 ml bottle without even trying it on my skin before buying.”

A few wearers say it is not as safe a blind buy as it sounds, since it can smell like banana to them.
“It's not as safe of a blind buy as it might sound. If I say it smells like banana to my nose, I'm not wrong 😉”

LayeringVanilla lotions, Milk, Hempz, green tea
Wearers layer it with vanilla lotions or oils, Bath and Body Works Milk, Hempz lotion, or a green tea scent.
“Stuff like the EOS Vanilla Cashmere lotion or even a simple vanilla body oil would layer really nicely with it without overpowering it.”

A few wearers say it is perfect alone but could be elevated by layering with a green tea element.
