Imp: spice and cherries?

Skin: lots of spice; almost like wandering around the organic foods coop in town.

drydown: overly rich vanilla and...this is weird, I know...cherry Lifesavers. ::shudders:: I'm just not wild about vanilla and never have been. I had hoped the spice would balance it out, but no. It's just not for me. The ever wonky body chemistry strikes again.

I was very hyper excited about this blend and got it as a decant--mostly because the notes sounded interesting, and in this bottle, I smelled cold winter greenery. On me--it transforms into something else entirely. Well, I can detect what I think is the clove, and that's just overpowering, and underneath that is something horrible, like baby powder gone very, very bad. I'm not really sure which note it is that has affected me so, but I'm going to go wash it off. I'm going to give it another go later--but I'm just not feeling the need to purchase a bottle.

Edit--I've reapplied sans anything else--while I'm still not certain that I'm absolutely thrilled with the scent, it's dried down into something that's really nice, sweet, and crisp.

We'll see if it continues to grow on me. I'll wear it tomorrow for another whirl.
