Opens medicinal and weird on me. It doesn’t actually smell of cough drops, but it has that feeling, strange and astringent but then it blossoms into something sweeter softer and more gentle as the gardenia blooms and the jasmine adds its heady richness, with lily of the valley and orange blossom adding something wet and almost soapy with the earthy patch in the background, unisex and sexy. The first time I tried this, I thought I hated it, but you just have to give it time to develop. Really gorgeous.
