Yes! I just got this in the mail today! In the bottle: MUSK, a little incense, a smidgen floral. Wet: The musk is still really prominent, but the honey and vanilla flower start to come out a little more. Reminds me a little of Arcana's Queen Crossbones, only without the coconut. Drying: As the notes start to balance a little, I think: Wow, this is a very womanly scent. Dry: The vanilla flower, honey, and sugar cane come into the foreground, and the copal and musk waft sensuously in the background. Beautiful. Very sophisticated.

Imp: Almost spicy, mostly tea smelling. On: This reminds me of cleaning day when I was little. It doesn't hit you over the head with lemon pledge, but it's in the periphery. The vanilla starts to come out a little. Drydown: After a few hours on my skin, I keep getting whiffs of pale musk and vanilla. The tea/lemon scent has taken a backseat. It's actually pretty girly, not all that masculine at all. Verdict: I like it well enough, but not well enough to buy a full bottle. The search for the perfect fragrance rages on.
