This is an old fashioned rose fragrance, reminiscent of a pensioner's washbag, I have to confess, but with that said, I find it oddly addictive and continue to use and enjoy it. My initial reaction was to send it back as completely unfit for purpose (I am a man, after all) but with repeated use, I found myself becoming increasingly attached to it and now, I do rather love it. Not one for the office but if you can carry it off then it is most enjoyable, if a little one dimensional. It mixes well with other oud based fragrances so I often combine it with a bit of Tobacco Oud for some extra depth.
