Strangest perfume I've come across in viscosity terms... it's as thick as treacle!!! That's a bit of an exaggeration actually but even for pure perfume or extrait it's very oily and has a wonderful, rich maple syrup colour to it. I expected it to be massively potent and but the smell itself is actually quite reserved. When you apply to the skin it has a very oily consistency and DOESN'T dry down! I was sick of waiting so I committed a cardinal sin and rubbed it in slightly. I only applied a very conservative amount but I honestly don't think it's particularly strong just due to it's nature, a kind of exotic woody/floral scent. I honestly thought this contained some crazy rare orchid or something it certainly gives that impression. The main accord to me is a white blossom and tuberose smell with lots of fruitiness in the top notes which give it a lush exoticness. I'm in two minds while it's not offensive It doesn't tickle my fancy either. There's something lovely about it but then it's ruined by the floral notes being a bit flat. I'll try it again soon but my take was...'meh it's okay.
