I'm crushed. I wanted so very badly for this scent to work on me. Alas. In the bottle, it smelled almost exactly as described... but a lot more.... toilet-y. Could it be the gardenia? In all stages on my skin, it smelt overpoweringly flowery, not at all the achingly gentle floral I was hoping for. The longer it was on me, the more I smelt like the bathroom freshener aisle in the supermarket.

Mmmm, my first BPAL scent, won on eBay because I simply couldn't wait for my lab shipment to make it's way to Australia. Aand, I love it. To repeat most reviewers, it's a very warm spicy amber. After obsessively sniffing my wrist all night, I finally placed one of the dominant notes as clove. I think that is what some posters have experienced as "herbal toothpaste"? In my case, it is softened somewhat, perhaps by the cinnamon or amber; ending up as a wonderful sexy scent. It's like feeling warm muscles stretching slowly in the sun, with no particular place to be.
