On first application, this was very strongly aquatic. I loved the smell, but was afraid it would be way too much for me to wear anywhere but around the house. Thankfully, it calmed down after a few minutes into something more manageable. Upon dry down I'm smelling more of a white floral note, but the aquatic feel is sticking around. I really like this one, but I'm starting to feel a twinge behind my eye that usually signals a migraine, so I don't think this'll be a keeper.
