About this deal

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. Wrapped underneath the angelica is the guava, which adds a great deal of sweetness. The sweetness from guava is pretty much the heart of this perfume. The flowers are only barely present. Good thing that there is still a little bit of the angelica in the heart that cuts through the would've-been cloying sweetness. The one and only unpleasant thing I've experienced with this otherwise beautiful fragrance is that you can only use that much of it. I did the mistake of going for too many sprays, and I ended up being hit with an overbearing musky base that doesn't seem to work well with my skin chemistry. Therefore, a little goes a long way. Mmm...I mean...IS that passion flower? Maybe! Maybe!!! Or is that spicy dirt? Pink pepper?! Yeah, sure." It's the green, grassy, citrus(more of a sharp green citrus, not a juicy fruit citrus) note of angelica that sets this perfume apart from all the other sweet perfumes out there.

This aroma is quite prominent on my skin for some time before the fragrance turns into a more pinkish direction which is all about magnolia and some nondescript floral sweetness. I have to add, I literally only got this one because someone said it reminded them of VS Dream Angels Heavenly, which I used to have and loved. I tested this morning *at* church, which feels incredibly risky to me. However, I had a feeling it wouldn't be a super noticeable fragrance, and that I'd be fairly safe in it (I try not to be ostentatious in there), and I was right. This isn't a very unique, unusual or loud perfume at all. It's understandable, familiar (a fruity musk) and courteous. Some of my friends received this fragrance from their boyfriends for Valentine's Day this year. I say that's a sweet and thoughtful move, but I'm glad my boyfriend didn't follow in the same suit. I received a bottle of Givenchy Ysatis instead.I see this as a potential every day scent. It's a casual scent that could be "dressed up" so to speak. It wears nicely into the nighttime. I feel it would be a beautiful scent for fall and winter especially. I find it lasts about 3 hours on my skin, which is on the low end of moderate, and it sits rather close to the skin without a trail. You can definitely gift these to your loved ones as they are available in 8 different variants with cute names: This fragrance smells like a tropical floral musk. The guava is so typical vera, she just loves it. I see in a lot of her princess perfumes as well. The fragrance is really linear, from first spray I get a clean smelling guava scent (probably helped out by the lotus to make it clean) the there's the musk that carries that clean fruity floral musk from start to end. I blind bought this along with two other Vera Wang perfumes. I found 3.4 oz bottles for a great price, so I took a chance on them for fun.

The scent is a sparkling floral bouquet that attracts with its juicy notes. It is signed by perfumer Pascal Gaurin. I'm usually relatively sensitive to freesia as it's quite heady and super-sweet...and there's minimal sweetness here. Passion flower is also very distinctive - Think "Hypnose" - where it's done *beautifully*, or even "Incredible Things". I get none in "Floral Rush".Fragrance lasts longer on damp skin and blooms when worn on moisturized skin. Apply your fragrance right out of the shower while your skin is clean and warm. Your pores are open and can soak up the fragrance. As your skin warms up during the day, the scent of perfume gets released slowly.

I'm a young girl all over again. This fragrance is not what I'd call mature. If you seek maturity, look for Vera Wang for Women or Bouquet. This fragrance is very much along the same lines as the Princess range. I quite like the smell out of the bottle and *as* it comes out the bottle, but as soon as it hits my skin, it changes to a flat, bland smell.The middle notes aren't quite so pleasant - another slightly metallic and synthetic smell (but not nearly as bad as "Donna Karan Be Delicious Fresh Blossom"). Very lovely, inoffensive floral fragrance. Not a great deal of complexity, it's sprays on like an electric spark flashing in the dead of night: as soon as it's there, it's gone... And yet, it is charming. It is friendly. It is nearly always a welcome presence in the room (the bottle as much as the scent!) I'm also not going to lie - I kinda having fun with the bottle. It's just girly, goofy, and a bit enchanting. Love the colours, too.

Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. Most certainly an underrated perfume. The bottle design is super eye catching and it was the primary reason why I bothered testing it out in the first place. The top accords are champagne, pink pepper and apricot blossom. Pink passion flower, marigold and white freesia are located in the heart, while the base notes include ambergris, musk and cashmere wood. The singular main note is the pink pepper which dominates like a crazy mother-in-law. The marigold is what gives it a very earthy flower scent. Not floral: Flower. This is the flower, stem, roots, and dirt clods attached to those roots - don't say you don't get what you pay for. The woodsy and musky notes in the base wrap tightly from underneath, gives the entire perfume a warm, sexy feel. The warm base also makes it more of a winter scent rather than a summer tropical scent. I don't like wearing this during hot weathers since the sweetness can get overwhelming.

PHARMACIST ONLY MEDICINE

So, it doesn't really smell like Heavenly. If I scrunch my nose and really use my imagination, I could see how it might be slightly similar. But this is not nearly as warm or sweet or powdery. The distinction here is the musk, which is the dominant feature of this perfume, and is complimented by the creaminess of the lotus and tuberose along with subtle woody nuances and a drop of juicy guava nectar. It’s fresh, creamy, and vaguely sweet. Not screechy or soapy like a lot of fresh florals. How many more of the Sephora "try me" coffrets will I be buying? (Well, perhaps if they start producing them for L'Artisan Parfumeur, which is now apparently a part of their line-up...) On their face, the coffrets a great deal: you pay less than the cost of a bottle of perfume for a box which contains ten or so samples, and you receive a voucher to exchange for the bottle of perfume which you have in effect paid for up front. In other words, the samples are free. Overall, scent is kinda disappointing (I want the really girly, fruity aspect), but I'll use up my bottle for that base note period. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).
