Comments: DAMN!!!! Tropical juicy flowers drenched in vanilla and drizzled with spices. Can’t pick out any notes at ALL on this. What it smells like in the bottle is what it smells like in the sillage around the skin. And that sillage is HUGE (wear sparingly). On the skin, particularly for the first hour or so, there is a powdery greeness to it. Move the wrist away from the nose and there is no hint of that powdery or green note. Just one big blanket of Rush. Some of the comments I’ve seen on this scent before I tried it mentions that it reminds them of sex. Reminds me more of post-coital afterglow right before sleep – if the guy’s a snuggler and no one sweats.

Comments: Lactonic fruit salad. Where are the flowers? Vanilla, ripe fruits, a bit of post-coital funk. No comments from the bowling boys tonight – which is surprising because they could probably smell me from 30 paces. Very linear. Lasted through smoke and beer and 8+ hours.
