Zomg! Love!

In the bottle: Strong scent of musk backed by the berries

Wet on Skin: Hello, Amber.

Dry Down: The amber fades back into the background and the musk and berries come out more again. I never really smelled anything floral in this. Everything in this just combines together so nicely that it is hard to pick out specific notes.

Verdict: Berries sometimes turn sour on my skin but for some reason they worked fine in this blend. This makes me really happy because I love the scent of berries. The feeling of this scent is very mature and feminine. I can't picture myself wearing this as an everyday scent but I think it will be perfect as a date perfume. It did have good throw and lasted all day without me ever needing to reapply it.

In the botte: Smells like toothpaste and flowers

Wet: Same. Ugh. I hate mint.

I was pretty disapointed at this point. I had been super looking

forward to this one.

Dry: The mint finally steps back a bit. This nice soft vanilla comes

out. I can finally start to smell the flowers and ferns.

Overall: The intial toothpaste phase is hideous. After that it's gorgous.

I'll have to do some thinking to see if its worth going through the toothpaste phase.

I really liked this scent.

In the bottle: smells generically "perfumey"

Wet: Oranges and generic perfume. Still not exciting.

Dry: This is when things get exciting. The other notes come out to play. This perfume does exactly what it says it does. To the casual observer it just smells like a "normal" perfume. On closer examination, under those top notes is a wine scent. A really good sniff reveals a blood note under it all. Amazing! It does just what the both the scent description and book description say. I'm sad that this scent isn't getting the love. It is one of my favorites.
