    The Coil

    (My first review, hurrah!) In the imp, I got a crisp, cool scent - probably the mint and eucalyptus. Nice, but it didn't strike me as anything special. The moment I put it on, it piqued my interest by sharpening dramatically, which in retrospect was the eucalyptus really coming forward. (It's been a while since I had eucalyptus-scented anything.) The mint was still very present, clear and cool, and I thought it a great choice for the warmth of the day. After a few minutes, I could start smelling what I assume to be the ozone (a new scent for me!) and the overall effect of it became very sharp and electrical. At this point I believe I thought something along the lines of "THIS IS SO COOL!" and had decided to buy a whole bottle. Then the florals started coming in. Now, I have nothing against florals, and at first they worked very nicely in the background. But then, at least one of the flowers in this (I'm suspecting the orchid: it made me think of lavender) completely dominated the scent within a half hour of appearing. All the wonderful electrical feel of it either drifted away or was drowned in the floral. It's a very nice floral scent, but it was neither very impressive nor what I was hoping for. I have mixed feelings about this one. I want to love it. I DO love it, but not on me.
