In the bottle: I smell a weird combination of dusy lemon.. It's a lemon scent, but as if it was covered up to the point where it was barely there...
Wet: ... cloves??? ... I swear I could smell cloves for the first second it went on. Then lemon comes screaming in and doesn't go away very fast, lasts at least half an hour this way. The lemon smell is reminiscent of the way melissa smells. Kind of cologney.
Drydown: I can smell whiffs of rosemary in this now. It is still very lemony, but now its not as sharp and crisp, it is coming down more sweet, more smoky. Must be the frankinsence coming out but I can't smell it distinctly yet.
Dry: warm, dusty frankincense.. the rosemary and lemon notes disappear completely.
Aside from the first lemon scream this scent does not have a lot of throw. I can smell the frankincense 8 hours later still but only if I bring my wrist right up to my nose.
I do like the scent and am considering putting it on my big bottle list, although I am pretty sure I wouldn't wear it as an every day perfume but just as a mood scent.
