It's nice. Not really my vibe but definitely nice. Not something I'd wear often.

Love it: Incredible depth, volume, and blending. Multiple dimensions of beautiful florals and spice with hints of pear poking through.
Jakey Hate it: Potentially it’s me and my broken nose/ skin chemistry, but Guidance and Stellar Times both smell like straight olive to me. On paper and on skin. I wish I smelled what everyone else does? But this is one of the only fragrances I had to wash off.
