Took a chance and blind bought it discounted.... As others have said, the opening is quite OTT lemon. In fact I find the first five minutes quite horrible, too savoury and very like Pino Silvestre, which I find repulsive, but then it becomes an exquisite green piney aura (slightly pesto-ey too), addictive and delicate somehow whilst being powerful. So glad I snapped this up while I had the chance! .... Wearing this again as we go into spring, it's breathtaking. I still find the first minute or two a bit much, but it's fleeting. This is definitely a perfume which is best experienced passively, i.e. without burying your nose in it.
