I desperately wanted a bottle of this expensive perfume, although I was not a perfume wearer, because it smells amazing! However, after investing in the bottle, I discovered that I could not wear this perfume as it affected my allergies. I think I sprayed this perfume bottle less than (5) times and is practically brand new! I paid $245+tax from Neiman's. The bottle has remained in the perfume box for storage purposes (hence why the box looks so tattered). My loss is your gain!
