This came as a frimp. I was intrigued by the blend but not enough to purchase it, so i was pleasantly surprised to recieve it. In the bottle i smell mainly the amaretto. On my skin ithe amaretto is still dominant but turn distinctly fruity, which lessens the sweetness. I don't really detect the wine. The blends stays pretty much the same as it dries and fades. I love it although i think it could be improved if the wine was a little stronger, just to take the sweetness down a notch. However, in that i suppose the name Bordello is fitting. This had a medium throw and is pretty lasting.
