First blast of almond, rather fruity and orange blossom floral. After a minute the scent slightly deepens with musk. Wow, did I get a mislabelled sample? I totally do not get any of the myriad of listed notes. No woods, no citrus, no herbal aromatics. It's literally one-note almond and orange blossom on my skin. It's very pleasant, just not I'd expect with that hodgepodge. I've smelled the other almond-based frags from this house and this is definitely not one of those (ie, Sulmona was intensely if not overly sweet or Ambrosia which was cake-y and powdery sweet). Oh well, still lovely and pleasant, inoffensive. Feminine leaning and best for cool weather. 6+ hours later: All gone by the 4th.

A lovely creamy and gentle oud fragrance. The oud is supported by a complex set of notes that I have some difficulty distinguishing. Linear in a nice way. Oud supported by fresh linen. Unfortunately it suffers from the perineal problem of all extremely fine but reasonably priced fragrances- poor performance. You get what you pay for, and this fragrance is light on scent.
