This is my first round with single note scents so please bear with me.
In the bottle-I get a strong and sweet bayberry scent with a candle note popping in once in a while (very faint but you know it's there). It's not bad but for me, the sweetness is stronger than my nose can handle and it's fighting between the two. Every once in a while the woodsy bayberry scent will pop though but in the bottle, it's cloyingly sweet (at least for me).
On the skin-it toggles between the sweet and woodsy and the candle eventually shows up. As Numanoid said, it is really a fake Bayberry candle. It reminds me of...well...the fake bayberry candles that I had growing up.
It's not a bad scent at all and I really want to like this one but the sweetness may be a bit much for my body chemistry.
The dry down-is nice but true to the on the skin scent and it anything, a bit more "powdery" in the dry down.
My husband said he liked how it smelled and he's a pretty good judge of scents that work for me so I will give this another shot as I just got this today. Who knows, this may grow on me.
