It went on very sharp, almost medicinal/herbally....but after drydown changed dramtically into a clear rose....it is a very nice rose too...It doesn't last very long, at least on me..but well worth the layering. I am a huge rose fan and this is great...after some time it does morph into a powdery kind of scent, rose is still the major note in it... it's just beautiful...I really like this one.

It's something like elizabeth arden's green tea...only far more sophisticated and well rounded...It has a citrusy/bergamont/green tea thing going and it's just heavenly...All these notes blend perfectly to give a great upligting experience...Loved it.
-
Immediately, there was a very strong note of cherry..quite bitter...and eventually a couple of more notes entered into the fray subduing the cherry and after drydown the cherry mixed with these other notes to give it a nice blended scent. The cherry still is a major note in this and somehow this reminds me of a toy shop...likes toysrus or something...Didn't like it very much at all...it's sort of an artificial sweet scent to me.

As soon as I applied this, the scent was overwhelming...when wet it was cloyingly sweet...dried down to very sweet...it gave me quite a headache...It's very strong and heavy, longlasting too..didn't like it at all...

Started out quite strong, it was very complex couldn't make out the notes...and during the middle, changed and started smelling flowery, can pick out jasmine. It has something heavy/dark in the background after dry down...it helps balance the flowery notes very well. This was nice...
-
This was a very nice fruity/flowery mix....It started out very complex...couldn't pick anything out, and during the middle started sorting itself out into two different notes which were very nicely blended together....at the end it stayed that way...didn't turn powdery...It doesn't have much staying power though that could just me be...As an added observation, I don't really know what the oils in this are, but I swear I could detect the smell of the venician canals, a watery note. Don't know what causes this, but my feeling while wearing it was of walking by watery canals in bright sunlight. I liked it a lot.

I grew up in the middle east...and this reminds me strongly of some ittar..(the oils are called ittar/attar there). Can't really place it, but it's very resiny/woody...It starts off very strong...can't detect any citrusy notes at all...and dries down to a powdery, resiny, dryish scent...Not for me.
-
Recently i received DKNY's black cashmere as a gift, this is exactly like that only less smoky/incensey....it has a lot of staying power and is pretty strong...very spicey. I didn't like it at the start as i'm not a big fan of smokey scents...but it has changed into a very well rounded sensual fragrance with no overpowering notes i can detect. It's quite nice now actually...
-
Love, love this scent....reminds me of yardley's tearose which was quite popular when i was a kid...only way more refined and sophisticated...it has a certain maturity about it...it's not wet or juicy but when you put it on it can smell a bit raw...after than it changes into a dry powdery kinda tearose...amazing...I'm a big fan of rose and this one is perfect. Lasts quite some time if you layer it.
-
It does seem medicinal right as you put it on, but warms up considerably in a short time...It seemed like some forgotten perfume/scent...brought back memories of my mom's tea parties while i was a kid...and that scent that would linger in the air when all of the ladies were together..Does seem vanilla-ish/cookie doughish...I'm not particularly foody...so not for me.

When I put this on the scent was overpowering, then turned into orange and something else.. I could smell both notes at the same time, yet seperately...weird i know...but it was awful on me...i had to wash it off as i couldn't stand it...too overwhelming *whew*. Someone was right, it is like an evil orange...too much so for me.
