This is not my usual cup of tea at all a super floral scent for folks who love that sort of thing and you know what? To my surprise I can appreciate it too. The opening is a naturally musky scent which is far too off putting for me but still screams quality. My mum often keeps hyacinths in her house when she has trouble with the drains, hoping the pungent smell will mask it but I think it just combines and makes it worse! They always smell very 'wet' with a kinda bittersweet bouquet which is not entirely unpleasant but teetering on the brink. There's a hefty dose of green notes in here too initially, supplied by the galbanum and that wetness and musky natural floral is both accentuated and balanced by the powdery iris. The saving grace here is that the drydown is really good and works alright on my skin. I also sprayed some on a card and could smell it clearly, upto a week later. I was surprised how much I actually liked it in the end but the opening and scents like this are just not my cup of tea. If you're a lover of florals I think this is another excellent composition and well worth checking out.
