Wow this is a powerful scent! Not what expected but I'm glad to have it in my collection because it's very different from everything I own. I was expecting this to be very sweet, particularly after reading some of the other reviews. I'm also someone who owns and loves ultra sugary tooth rotting gourmand perfumes so my tolerance for sweet perfumes is probably higher. The most prominent notes on my skin and in the bottle are the myrrh and the spiced rum. The other notes are there: almond, brown sugar, dates, vanilla, and a hint of marshmallow. But they're in the background. It's more like the scent that you'd get from brewing a spiced cocktail with sugary ingredients. I'm happy that I have this going into fall/winter but I'll probably use it layered with some of my sugary gourmand perfumes to tone down the spice.
