This perfume was blind buy. I usually do not do this type of buying because I need to smell the fragrance first. However, I did my research thoroughly and I just decided to go ahead with the purchase considering the price point. Now, at first spray it smells very strong and masculine, but after few seconds it has this scent, very sweet and intoxicating (at least for me it is a positive scent) it develops into this mysterious scent. I sprayed it last week and let me tell you the scent is still on my jacket. I can't tell you the scent but it has this deep, sweet, mysterious scent. It is a scent that I will definitely wear in the Fall or Winter. I will see if I can get away wearing it in the summer. When I wear, it has this deep mystical notes. I am not sure how it will react on other women. As for men, it does have a very sweet scent and very feminine. Would I recommend it, yes, for the price point why not. I bought a unisex perfume, and that particular perfume did not settle well on my skin. But Frank Olivier Oud Vanille certainly settle well on my skin. As matter of fact, I am wearing now as I am typing this review. The scent lingers and stays on.
