I've seen this going cheap a few times and been tempted to blind buy it. I've tried it now... and I'm somewhat less tempted, but not all the way entirely. There's something I like about it's trashy, knockabout themes, the main one being mandarin, and bergamot which it conveys instantly, in a sort of vague, chalky floral cloud a little like the vague peach or apricot hint you get with osmanthus, except here it's with a definite mandarin note, so far so good then. What is immediately apparent (and much moreso later) is a very creamy, sweetened, musk/sandalwood which is soft and likable and as the more volatile citrus and vague floralcy floats off into the air, you're left with something of a appealing skin/clothes sent of long gone fruit and tropical cocktail, and creamy aroma chemicals. What I like is that it doesn't get progressively sweeter until just annoying musk and vanillin remain, which is what I thought might happen at one point. Hey, as far as mandarin/sandalwood fragrances go, I'm struggling to think of a better one at this point (or any other one for that matter but there you go) and I was genuinely happy when I first smelled it but I would pay top whack for this, no way.
