I received a bottle of it when I was 15/16 from a friend as a present. I didn't dislike it, but I wasn't overwhelmingly enamoured as I would be now had I received it. What I do remember liking was it's sweetness and, what I know now, it's lovely amber quality.<br /><br />I seen a bottle of it on sale in Boots the other day.
