Basically vanilla musk with a sweet amber base, but not so far as to be gourmand due to to the blend of other notes (honestly I wouldn't be able to say what florals they are just sniffing my skin). Mildly powdery. And I agree that the patchouli is used with an incredibly light hand, because I typically abhor all things patchouli, it reminds me of body odor. In this fragrance all I get is the barest hint, enough to give it a naughty facet- as in, "I just got done with a sweaty, passionate tryst." It doesn't project a lot, but lingers persistently. I can smell a remnant of the fragrance on my clothing days later, particularly on scarves and sweaters- at this point it is mostly vanilla. I prefer it in cooler weather, otherwise it's a little overwhelmingly sweet to me. I have gotten several compliments, and an acquaintance purchased a bottle for herself after smelling it on me. I'm happy with my bottle, but am not going to stockpile.

I didn't know what to expect with this one, so I ordered a sample. It's a perfume oil, so it took a little while before I could really smell it. The oil has to absorb in the skin. You only need a little bit; because all of a sudden, the scent will hit you. That said, it's gorgeous. I do smell the rose; and after a while, the blackberry creeps in. I'm generally not a fan of florals, but this is perfect for me because the floral notes are enveloped by a sweet, marshmallowy-vanilla. It's also a little bit powdery, and a little bit musky. If you're afraid of patchouli, don't worry. It's listed as a note, but I barely smell it. I'd say it's along the same lines as Mor Marshmallow. I really like it, and I plan to purchase a full bottle. I'm actually kind of seeing this as a spring scent. I generally like a bit more patchouli/amber in fall/winter, and this is a little lighter.

This is truly beautiful and i find it to be a very "sexy" perfume. Its gorgous Jasmine opening is so soft and natural, blended seamlessly with amber and what feels like woods. This lingers seductivley on the skin, while the musk and vanilla really warm up. After a while the jasmine goes, but it is still sweet due to the balckcurrent, amber & vanilla. It's creamy, slightly powdery, but above all this is a stunning musk perfume. Its in a rollerball applicator, not a spray. I cannot stop sniffing myself! I highly recommend.
