Not remotely unisex. Entirely feminine. I shouldn't get away with wearing it, but I do. I don't know if it's because the fruits aren't sweet, because it's spicier than the notes list implies, or if it's because the deep dry down smells like a rabbit hutch. The dry down does smell like a rabbit hutch though. Instant memories of raising rabbits as a child. RIP, Nightcrawler. You were a real one, even though you scratched me all the damn time.

Well balanced, not screaming for attention, confident, the light-woody drydown is extremely pleasant. Vintage vibe but very wearable.

Soft and luxurious. My new favorite scent.

Starts out spicy to me, like cinnamon with bergamot. The dry down is woody and a bit musky, neither too overwhelming. There are non-specific floral notes with some well balanced amber and peach with a hint of powder. Very nice. I bought a sample spray I saw available and purchased it based on the notes listed here. I'd wear this or something similar because I guess this is discontinued and it may be difficult to find a bottle. Edit: sampled again and get more of the peach, less wood and more musk and sweetness - definitely more suitable for wearing in cooler weather or in the evening.

I haven’t gone out of my way to test many peach-centic perfumes because I’ve been disappointed with synthetic peach notes in the past. This is the first perfume I’ve tried that has a strong realistic peach note. It reminds me of those enormous peaches you get from Colorado that you have to put a towel over you to eat, because they’re so juicy. I would say the peach note in this is even more dominant than the one in Burberry Burberry in the opening. As it dries down it becomes more of a peach shower gel with the floral notes coming out.
