  1. I have had this for three months and try it once a week to see if any smell has developed but as of now I smell nothing 🙁 I’m not really sure if I got a weird batch but I genuinely do not smell a thing when I put it on. Such a bummer, I was really excited for this one!

  2. I just got this one in the mail a few days ago and I’m not sure if it has to rest a bit, but as of now I genuinely cannot smell it at all. The scent is so faint that no matter how much I put on, I can’t smell anything 🙁

  3. This smells so far from the notes (and IMAM reviews) to me that I am almost concerned perhaps there was a labelling mixup. I get no musk at all. I get no oak, nothing milky, nothing mossy. Reviews I read of this one said it leaned almost masculine, was very (for some, too) animalic, and some reviews called it milky like puppies’ breath. I get none of this. I get a very linear floral sweetness. It’s very cloying. Almost like a candied violet smell. It feels like a hyper-feminine TokyoMilk floral. Oddly, I get zero patchouli in this at all from the bottle or on my skin, but I put it on one wrist shortly before bed and it woke me up throughout the night with whiffs of patchouli, and my pillow smelled like patchouli the next day. This is fine if you like patchouli, especially if you like soft patchouli, but patchouli makes me gag so it’s a big no thanks for me. I actually went through the master list on D&F to see if there was something else that sounded like it could be this with the wrong label on it, but the notes are so hard to pin down I’m not even sure what this could be.

    That being said, it isn’t a bad smell if you like sweet, almost grape-y florals. I was just thinking I was going to get creamy woodsy fur and musk, and I think I was expecting a creamier version of Half Hoping (holy grail simple woodsy musk). Will give this one away.
