Disclaimer: this is my very first review, so while I'm aping the style of other people on the forum,, I really don't know what I'm doing.
In the bottle: unfortunately, the very first thing I thought of was that liquid soap that's found in public bathrooms everywhere, which is kind of a rosey scent, now that I think about it. Still, not an amazing association. I sniffed the bottle again, and this time got something lemony, probably the bergamot, but it just disappeared after that.
Wet: This smells to me exactly like this kind of Indian dessert I really like, whose name I can't remember, but which is a kind of pudding with pistachios, covered in rosewater syrup. Very milky, creamy, sweet, with a rosewater note.
Dry: The same notes are still there, but there's something spicier going on. Then that dampened down, and it really does smell powdery. When I saw that in other reviews, I wasn't sure what that meant, because powder is a state of material rather than smell, but this certainly has a powderiness to it.
It doesn't seem to travel very far... I put this on my wrists and neck, but I can only really smell it if I bring a wrist right up under my nose. So, I wish there was a stronger version.
