I just got mine today, and I must say that I was afraid of what I'd gotten myself into when I first took off the cap and sniffed. I'm no perfume oil connoisseur, so I connected that smell with "old lady", like so many inexperienced buyers do when they can't recognize certain scents.
However, I put some on my wrists and proved myself wrong. At first it was dark and spicy (probably the cloves at work), then the sweeter notes began to peek through. As of now, I smell like a medley of red wine, cloves, sweet, creamy vanilla, and something rather sultry I can't seem to identify...
