First sniff:
Vanilla musk. It reminds me a bit of Ava Luxe Love's True Bluish Light.
First applied:
Still vanilla musk, lovely and smooth but with a light watery element - not sure what that note is but it's familiar. I don't love it there but it does do a nice job of making the vanilla musk a little cooler and more summery. There's a resin note too, making this perfume weirdly dark and light at the same time.
After 30 minutes:
The resin has receded and the vanilla musk has warmed up now, really reminding me a lot of LTBL. The watery note is still there but barely - what the heck is that?
After 3 hours:
It hasn't changed much from the 30 minute mark, just faded some. I can't smell the resin at all really anymore, and the watery note comes and goes but only barely. I'm undecided about whether I need a full bottle of this but I do really like it.
Longevity:
About 6 hours or so.
Actual notes/description:
Lust. Wild, carnal musk with blond tobacco, vanilla, dark resins and sugared peach.
Peach! That's what the watery note was! That's weird, because normally I really hate peach. I did not hate it here.
