Right out of the bottle, this smells like summer, fresh apricots and syrup. Someone mentioned Schnapps and I got that impression right away too. At first I was apprehensive but after a few minutes on my wrist, the scent is so amazing. It dries to a sweet, and slightly musky scent - very sexy! It does have a very slight floral undertone on me but its good - normally florals are pretty appalling to me.
This seems to be fantastic for summer/spring but I know I'll be wearing Katharina throughout this winter.
