This is a great perfume, it smells different on everyone who wears it. I think it is a sweet scent for me, and it blends nicely with other scented products such as lotions or body sprays without clashing. For me the perfume smells very candy like with a hint of muskiness. The scent in the bottle is unisex, it isn't overly masculine like a bottle of axe or hyper feminine. It is a pleasant in between. As far as staying power is concerned, it lasts awhile but not all day. I had to carry it with me for reapplication. Pure Instinct does not seem to stain clothes or fabrics. The smell is easily gotten out of material if it happens to spill unlike other perfumes I have owned.

The bottle is a small glass bottle with a plastic lid. It is about the size of similarly shaped nail polish bottles. The applicator is a thin glass rod attached to the inside of the cap. It appears very fragile and I am scared I will break it (my friend broke hers). So far my clumsy self has kept it intact. I am not sure how to apply it without the applicator. The lid needs to be tightened as much as possible otherwise it leaks, I found this out when I thought I tightened it enough and tossed it in my purse. I had candy in there as well and it leaked and my candy tasted how this smells, ugh.

For the purpose of a general perfume this works great, but for an instrument of attracting the opposite sex? I am not sold on that point. I noticed no difference in wearing this around men than any other perfume. It might make you more confident because you smell great, which is attractive, but the pheromone thing? I don't know. Perhaps wearing wearing it out in different situations would work better, like dancing/clubbing. All in all it I just keep it with my perfumes and wear it just like any other.
