It does smell like an old lady in the imp, and I thought the jasmine would be overpowering. (my body chemistry makes jasmine smell like excrement for some reason.) I'm wearing this in a pendant around my neck (a few drops on a piece of chemical-free paper inside a pendant), but all I can smell is sunscreen lotion. In the absolute best way. Rose, lavender, a hint of jasmine...I can't pick these notes out on my own, but reading the reviews I seem to agree. This isn't a coconut scent or tropical, but it smells exactly like sunscreens that I put on when I go to the beach. (Ones that aren't coconut scented!) The description of the feelings this is supposed to inspire are accurate for me right now, but only because I have a soothed feeling like I've been relaxing at the beach.
