I feel in love with this fragrance the first time I smelled it, and a few hours ago I actually bought it. No regrets here. This one has a unique, uplifting scent. There is no pure licorice or anise note I get, but maybe the blend of the notes together work so well. I am not a fan of anise scents at all, so I was surprised to see the notes here. I would describe the scent as fresh/fruity with a warmth and depth behind it. It suits the autumn and winter time the best, I think.
