Nauseatingly horrible. Like some mouldy old rose leaves were used to wrap up some mouldy old mackerel, then dried and turned into pot pourri. Or perhaps some prawns were left in some dishwater that was then used in a vase with some rotting roses left in it. Off doesnt even come close. I honestly think this is the most disgusting perfume I've ever smelt, I'm having a visceral reaction to it, and the seafood rot won't wash off. I've now solidified my opinion that the 90 sample set is a game of Russian Roulette where I'm at least 70% likely to hate what I smell. Lesson learnt. Today I dared revisit it again, and just like with many PG scents, at the opening I'm like "oh it's not that bad", then 2 mins later I start to get the gross, musky fish smell again. Truly awful, especially when there are so many other perfumes that do this so much better... Love Chopard for example, which is dirt cheap and wonderful.
