I just recieved my 5mL of this yesterday . I *adore* this scent. In the bottle: Red wine and chocolate. On me: This scent is very complex. At first it smells the same as it did in the bottle, but then the chocolate darkens and (oddly enough) I smell a sweet-minty note. There's a hint of the red wine still, and I'm starting to smell tobacco. After a few minutes, the chocolate goes away, and I can smell some lovely florals. The minty smell is stronger, and then suddenly the chocolate is back, and very dark. The florals all fade, except one. I can't place what it is, maybe lily? It's very delicate. Cor, it is so hard to describe this smell. Hours later a soft honeyed floral smell still lingers in the air. My love for this perfume knows no bounds.

I just got an imp of this yesterday, and tested it out today. In the bottle, it's definetely almond. A sweet-smelling almond. I hope this works on my skin. While it's still wet, it is a very loud maraschino cherry. Candy-sweet and very red. Drydown: It turns into a lovely soft rose, with just a hint of sandalwood. As it starts to dry down it softens up a bit, and turns into a lovely rose. After a while, the rose deepens and the spices start to play, and there's something there that's ever-so-faint. I can't pin it down, but my guess is it's the neroli. This is a very calming scent - feminine and light, yet still sexy. I'll have to try it again in a few weeks, hopefully with the same results. It probably will. but you never know with my skin.
