In the bottle: A very spicy, woody scent. It makes me think of an antique cigar box or an old shop. Salty too. On my skin: Almost smoky, the wood is richer but more subtle and I detect undertones of cedar. Floral (the prostitute's perfume?) is a bit more prominent here. The drydown: Very sharp. Soapy aquatics with a smattering of rum. A hazy, lazy, salty seadog scent.

Curiouser and curiouser. Milk and honey with rose, carnation and bergamot. The initial scent in the bottle was a sweet (almost cotton candy sweet) scent the melted into a honeyed flora. There are undertones of milk but nothing too sharp. On my skin the scent is a bit musty--a bit like an old bookshop, that dries into a waft of sweet baby power. Not bad, but it smells entirely different in the bottle.
