I didn't like it at all upon opening the bottle, it came as very screechy and offensive. After it macerated for a few moths - I actually enjoy it. On my skin is quite warm, sweet and soft with a slight powdery/smokey note in the drydown, which is pleasant and non-offensive. I wouldn't wear it in the summer, but it is not as dark and seductive as I expected it to be. Overall, it's a pleasant scent for many occasions, but nothing revolutionary.
