I like it but it loses its scent fast. It is like Polo (green) but without (thankfully) the pine/wormwood notes which is an improvement. But the carnation/lavender combo needs something to fix it because it evaporates (alas) too fast. Thumbs up, esp. for guys that are more conservative about what they wear and are looking for something more classical.

I like the smell of this, esp. while wet, but after drydown, while still smelling very pleasant, it is not something I would wear. Maybe use as incense or in a candle? Edited to add: If you have a lot of patience, this scent has tremendous staying power and will eventually turn into something really woodsy-spicy nice.

In the bottle it smells nice; I like the smell of dragon's blood, also like the cinnamon nuances. After drydown, you can now smell the vetiver/patchouli which is OK. This turns soapy on me. Unfortunate, because I don't dislike the stuff per se.

Very sweet and plummy + floral bouquet (i'm not catching the apple) This is another one that doesn't change much over time. It stayed more or less on me over 7 hours as it smelled in the bottle. I like that and its so rare to have a what-you-see-is-what-you-get with bottled fragrance. I would buy more!

Very floral, I'm not normally a big fan of florals esp. jasmine, but it is softened in this and I do like it, particularly once the "screaming" florals die down. And it has some lasting power.

It smells sweet and like dragon's blood in the bottle, but when wet, you can smell something spicy (it says cloves, but I could swear I smelled cinnamon), the cherry is definitely there and something floral, not sure what. It gave me a headache! This is a singular event; I never get headaches from scents, I'd like to know what did it. After drydown I smell myrrh. It is too strong, but not bad in itself. But the headache! Blech!

Powerful, commanding, blazing with strength. In the bottle this smells nice, fruity, dragon's bloody, not bad. Wet: as above, but there is a spicy element perceptible too; maybe nutmeg and/or cinnamon? Still nice, and breaks up the sweet monotony. Dry: absolutely hideous. Smells exactly like public restroom liquid soap. It is not vaguely, freshly soap-like, it's like bad or cheap soap on me. It must be the mixture because happily dragon's blood doesn't smell like this normally on me.

In vial: not overly sweet, but very floral. On, wet: way too floral, almost obnoxious though I smell the plum. Dry: now the florals are settling in and it's getting sweeter, the berry smell is very obvious and it's sweet. Definitely far better now.

In the bottle smells overly sweet (vanilla) with some apple undertones. OK At first on, wet: very strong, almost (not quite) sickly sweet (again vanilla and apple but now you can smell the florals). Later: powdery, soapy, sweet, pleasant scent, not too overpowering. Anything with musk smells the same on me after drydown. I like it in the final analysis, but would probably not buy a quantity of it.

At first it smells good and chocolatey with just a small vanilla hint. After drydown it goes terribly wrong though, and just keeps getting worse. Like pencil shavings/bad creme de menthe on a dirty mummy.

This has way too much heliotrope for me. I do like the vanilla later on, though once the heliotrope retreats, as well as the spicier low notes. But is it worth the wait? No. Not for me.

Almond and coconut, very very sweet in the bottle. Didn't care for it at first, smells too fruity-sweet. Still wet, it is very sweet, but not overly so in my opinion. Honey more noticeable. Dry: interestingly still sweet, but stays on longer than usual for me with sweet. The sandalwood is now discernible, but not overly so. I like it a lot more than I thought from the initial smell.
