I have an old bottle of Cheshire Cat (from before the resurrection) and when I apply it, I first get a very sharp herbal scent. That must be the chamomile and the lavender aging. After a few mintues the herbal scent looses it's sharpness and I can defenitely smell some citrus. It doesn't last very long on me, but I like it (I love herbal scents!). Dh likes it too.
