In the Bottle: ooh.. its such a pretty red color, but darn it- I don't smell much coming out of there. I almost stuck the lid up my nose trying to smell this.. its so faint. I am getting more amber than dragons blood... I probably wouldn't even know there was dragons blood in it if I hadn't read the description.
On my skin: at first.. its almost fruity with an amber background, its like the smell of apple skin. As it drys down I can smell a bit of amber but its not strong at all, but faint and soapy.. as if I was wearing amber but took a shower and this was all that remained. Its very powdery and soapy the longer I wear it.. and its got no 'throw' to it - I have to keep sticking my nose to my wrist to catch any of it. I have no idea where the spicy, dragons blood scent is.. but I've got none of that anywhere to be found. I've got no blood smell of any kind actually.. not a hint.
I really love amber and all of the thick resin scents - and they love my body chemistry right back.. but this one is just too light and powdery for me. I even applied more, but it still didn't do it. If you want a subtle amber.. this is definitely it- I like the amber that smacks you over the head with its presence.
(this is my first review)
