I love this scent. It arrived with spookily perfect timing, on a day when I'd made plans that I was likely to start freaking out about and end up canceling (I get panic attacks). Wearing this really helped to keep me calm and the effects lasted all day.

I was doubtful about the effects of the Voodoo oils, but in this case at least I'm completely convinced.

I love the way it smells, too. I'm terrible at picking out notes, but when I first smelled this I imediately thought of grapefruits. I have no idea why, since it's been years since I've knowingly been within a hundred yards of a grapefruit. Whatever is actually in this I like it a lot.

On me, this smells like wine. There are vague hints of other things in the background, but it's mostly very strong wine. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - but if that's the effect I'm going for then I'd rather open up a nice bottle of red.

Final verdict: Nice, but not for me.

I loved the smell of this after about an hour and a half of wearing it. Once it settles it really is lovely - soft and sweet. Unfortunately, before getting to that point it gives me terrible headaches.

I tried it as a room fragrance hoping to get the lovely smell without the pain but no luck. This one will have to go.
