In the bottle: Very crisp, tart green apple with the definite feel of something more menthol and cold blended with it.
Wet: The apple seems to smell a little jucier as it warms on my skin and a slight floral hint is there with the cooling menthol/eucalyptus. Still crisp and fresh though.
Drydown: This is one scent that morphs wonderfully on me over an hour or so. It's almost like I can smell the apple ripen as time passes. It gradually picks up a beautiful sweetness as the sour note fades and it becomes beautifully ripe red apples on me. As wear continues it still continues to sweeten and actually loses the coldness. It's almost like winter is ending and spring is beginning. The apple blossoms are starting to bloom and a lovely light floral emerges. It stays very close to the skin at this stage with only occasional wafts of scent as I move around.
Summary: Truely beautiful. I love how this morphs on me. It has the ripening and sweetening that I would love to have seen in some other fresh fruit heavy scents such as Earth Rat. Sadly the scent closes down quite quickly and holds close. I do love it though and will be jealously guarding my 2 bottles.
