This is absolutely gorgeous and may very well become my scent of the summer.

The opening is juicy, tart and slightly peppery. I do not get strawberry perse, but I do think this is what that tangy juicy accord is. I love that it is not the sickly sweet synthetic strawberry that you sometimes get in strawberry forward fragrances.

In the dry down it turns somewhat sweeter and warm, but retains the pepper kick, which I love. The rose also comes forward more. The name, Spiky Muse, is very apt! For people who fear this is a Delina clone or flanker, it is not.

Sillage is moderate, especially in the first hour. Longevity is good on my skin, 6+ hours. Price is hefty, but eh. Worth it, in my opinion.
