In the bottle: Wet leaves, pure and simple.
On wet: Pushy, wet leaves.
On dry: The rose blossoms at about the fifteen minute mark, and the leaves crisp up. Both scents are fresh and lovely, and the whole impression is amazing and a revelation.
Fading: The rose turns to powder (but fades as to not overpower the rest), and the leaves stay the scent of a crisp October evening with loads of freshly fallen leaves.
Overall, it isn't all that tenacious, lasting three hours tops on me, and the throw is intimate without requiring wrist-huffing.
Verdict: It is so rare to find a scent that both I and my husband love. I wish I had known that I loved this autumn leaf note, because I would've bought a lifetime supply. As it stands, I'll be scouring for this for a good long time.
