Couldn't make my mind up about this at first? I thought it was too feminine for me...something about the way the rose interacted with the sandlewood. Despite this I persevered and as I smell deeper, the rose settles and what do you know? there's a definite bitterness of cocoa coming through. It's a brilliant combination and actually grew on me to the point where I think it's brave and suitable for me to wear...Just don't know where and if I ever would? This is lovely juice though a really good composition.
