In the bottle, MotM smells like that cherry flavored tylenol that they used to give me when I was a kid. But on my skin it becomes cotton candy heaven! During the first hour or so it is a melange of cotton candy, sweet tarts, taffy, cherry lollipops. Then it morphs into a nag champa smell, which compliments the sweet sugary smell perfectly. I don't get any of the night blooming flowers, which I suppose is a good thing, based on the other reviews. Anyway, I love this scent, and I intend to buy another bottle or few before the carnivale leaves town! LOVE IT!
