This is my very first post here, so forgive any mistakes I make.
In the bottle: It's rosy and soft. A sweet smell I can't identify, but I think it must be the pear. Almost powdery. Very appealing.
Wet: YIKES! HELP! I smell like I fell in a rose bush!! The scent fills up the whole room. It reminds me of a perfume my mother had when I was little, only because this is an oil, there's no alcohol like the perfume. Very very strong.
Dry: It's strength has died down and has mellowed. The lily of the valley is now present and while I don't smell any of the pears, it's settled into a nice soft powdery scent like it was in the vial. The musk is very gentle and brings it all together nicely. I really like this scent, but I'll probably have to turn on a fan when I put it on. Overall, it reminds me of a warm summer day in a rose garden drinking tea. A very lovely, very feminine scent. And it's staying power is very nice, too.
