How this manages to be such a loud performer but easily gentle is mind boggling. This projects and lasts boldly but doesn't give headaches or nausea. Rose, caramel and aldehydes are what I mainly get. I think it's the aldehydic vibes that helps this cruise gently on your skin. Such a gorgeous scent. Yes does lean much more feminine but defo wearable as a man. Sillage smells very unisex, only smells more fem when sniffing up close on skin.
