Insanely sweet in the bottle. Cherry syrup on skin. Turns to musk, and eventually Chinese grocery store, I mean star anise. Makes me think of Peking Duck.
I love this scent.

It still doesn't smell like an Indian Spice Market, but it does smell slightly less of Play-Do and Cinnamon Red Hots once it's out of the bottle.
Drydown has honey, definately, but sugared cinnamon is the dominant note.

Very floral and almondy in the bottle. Myrrh peeks through, and what I am guessing in the lotus. Almond fades almost immediately when on the skin, then comes back and overpowers the floral. Lots of back and forth on this one. Ends up being buttery and exotic.
