Smells exactly like lemons in a bottle, and that's exactly what I wanted and needed. Initially, I thought it might be too lemongrass-y, but it either isn't, or I just got used to it really fast and now it just smells like very delightful lemons. I have to say, I love that Libertine sends a sample of the perfume you buy, just to make sure it's what you want. I've bought perfume in person and online before, and no one has done that for me, and I appreciate it, especially considering this wasn't cheap.
