I was afraid this would happen: when I applied Katrina van Tassel, it was as if someone hit me over the head with a rose bush. I agree with the earlier poster who identified this as BPAL's "red rose scent" and also concur that it just doesn't work for me. I must amp rose like a mo-fo.
I gave this to my best friend, who is just getting into BPAL, and on her smelled the wonder that everyone else does. I'm glad I could find it a good home!
