In the bottle~ reminds me of sterling silverware long stored in a velvet lined box. Musty but elegant.
First 10 minutes- still musty, like being in a warm, damp hold of a boat. I'm connecting to the pirate thing here.
After 30 minutes - totally morphed into sweet, almost powdery scent. Am disappointed - no ocean, salt watery scent at all.
Interesting but not a favorite.
