On the opening I get very little, and I'm tricked into thinking it's wishy-washy. No! Over a short period it starts to unfold, and gets stronger, with first white florals, then fruity aspects coming through. I start getting ready to go out, and as I'm moving about and my skin heats up, it gets stronger still. I'm surprised by the performance! This is a crafty little "eau" which isn't very transparent at all in the drydown, and to its credit there's no evident fixative base keeping it going like there would be in such a scent from your average designer or something like MFK. There's also a sort of spiciness underneath it all providing just a touch of warmth which, again, gets stronger the more it heats up.
