First off, all I can say is wow. This may knock Villain down to number two as my main scent.
In the vial I mainly smell the amber and rosewood, the others stay in the background and I can't pick them out.
Wet- First thing is the musk jumps to the forground, at first sniff I wasn't sure this would work for me. Let's just say that at times musk makes me smell like a wet dog. But after about 4-5 seconds the other scents stepped up and it becomes very sweet/ sharp smelling. Couldn't pick out anything but, it didn't actually smell bad.
Dry- At this point it almost smells feminine, the rosewood and sandalwood are up with the other parts just barely knocking the sweetness down a level or two with the musk giving it an edge.
Dry, 5 min- The musk was been knocked into the background, just there but not really noticable. Mostly Sandalwood and a hint of amber peeking it's head out, the other's are playing backup.
A short while later- Now it's mostly amber, which I love, reminds me of incense. The other scents are still there but they've mostly blended together keeping the amber from getting too sweet and less honey-like. The musk is back but now it's just this dark undertone that warms and balances out the sweetness, slightly rough/sour but in a good way.
All in all, a great blend, getting a big bottle next payday. It is one of those scents that tells you right off it's for a guy but, I can see this one also working on the right woman.
Slight Update- Tried it out today and the only thing else I can add is the fact that the musk lasted a little longer than the rest but I have to say, still a keeper. Other notes died out in about 4 hours (which is normal for me), musk lasted about 35 min longer.
