“From the bottle it smells complex and I get some, if not all the notes in the description. But once you spray it on your skin or your clothes, it's a powdery, aldehydic bomb that lasts until the next day. (I tried to do half a spray.) All the other notes disappear. So buyer beware. As a disclaimer, Chanel No. 5 scares me and I don't get why people like it so much. BUT the fact remains that lots of people do like it. I'm not saying that this smells like Chanel 5, but it has the same kind of cloying drydown. It does smell expensive in the bottle, and I don't think it's a bad quality scent. I just didn't expect it to smell so different on me. I even smell it now after I had my morning shower and changed my clothes! :( When people say that a fragrance is "a beast" - this is Godzilla in a bottle - OK ... Lady Godzilla.”
