In bottle: Very sweet. Too sweet for my taste. All I can smell is strawberries, and strawberry is ay to sweet for my taste. The evil, evil strawberry almost made me want to throw it out, but I tried it anyway.
THANK GOD I DID!
Once it dried, the strawberry almost completely disappeared. Still sweet, but mostly musky and pretty. The strawberry eventually came back on to make it smell like strawberry incense. Still a bit too sweet, but the muskyness makes the sweetness pleasant. I'm not a sweet and fruity fan, but Maenad may make me change my mind.
Bottom line, although I was reluctant at first, Maenad was a pleasant surprise. Definitely a keeper!
