For me this smells much better once it has dried, but when it's there it's gorgeous and I can't stop sniffing it. Coffee and burnt caramel and spice and the almost raisinish smell of unsmoked cigarettes. Yum. I see what people have said about it being less perfumey, more room-scent-y, but for me it makes me smell as though I've been hanging out in a really cool cafe. I like it a lot.
