Reminds me a little of a flat I used to live in...a kind of very 'new' smell maybe it's the leather (I don't find it very leathery BTW) & pine? The patchouli and florals in this are delicate and it makes for a really nice fragrance to be honest and although it's soft it's quite long lasting. I like it...just not sure about getting it incase it wouldn't be something I would wear. Update: I got masses of sample vials and have worn this a few times now and each time I like it a little more but it's still nothing special. The feel of it (not necessarily the smell or notes) remind me of ultra clean soapy fragrances like Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. I'd put this in the category of a fragrance which seems well conceived to be honest but a little anonymous, I mean it's never going to set the world alight.
