Wearing: Starts smelling like alcohol-based floral toner. Evolves to a fragrance that reminds me of Off Active Sunblock / Bug Repellant (citronella, pine and deet). Sounds awful, but it’s not offensive. Mellows to a vanilla / orange blossom / honey / sandalwood after an hour. Fragrance lasts 5 hours.

Reaction: Gotta be in the mood to wear this. OK for a sample.Date: 9/13/07 Weather: 80 degrees and sunnyReaction: Strong floral. A bit too much orange.Subsequent Wearings (summer): I put this in my office stash for summer/fall with the heavy air conditioning. Worked OK as an office scent in colder weather.
