opened it all up and sprayed a little of the perfume on my wrists. delicious, warm and i adore it, puuurfect scent for me. items were packed fantastically, this set is beautiful. the gold dust is fabu and to the guy that said it wouldn't come out.. try taking the paper off the holes under the brush. thanks marilyn, this is my first purchase of this line but won't be my last.. and the bag that came with this is so great.. i'm VERY impressed, this is a steal.
