First of all, this perfume is 100% authentic. I bought it myself. It is a woody fragrance for men or women. I do not think it is a safe blind buy. But if you are into the unique pine,mossy,wetlands rainforest and bisexual smell, this is totally fabulous! I honestly bought it for the cool story behind the bottle. This is a one oz bottle with half left. It has been stored properly and correctly. “Dear John” is a pair of words synonymous with sadness and inevitable loss. Dear John Perfume is Lush co-founder Mark Constantine’s ode to his own absent father, named John, who abandoned him as a baby. The perfume was created with his father in mind, representing the idea of how a man smells: a comforting, fatherly scent with notes of coffee, coriander, lime and tobacco. Constantine recalls while creating the perfume that he "suddenly realized that it was the way that I thought my father would have smelled." It is truly a unique piece!
