this wasn't nearly as sweet and "candy like" as i thought it was going to be, which is a good thing.
when i first put it on, it was "holy anise" and i was a bit concerned i wouldn't really like it or be able to wear it long...but...the anise is only powerful like that for a brief time and then the violet comes out centerstage.
once the violet amps up, i was left with a gorgeous, slightly sweet floral with the dark, exotic anise note in the background.
every time i moved an arm, walked around, bent to pick something up, etc... there was the mysterious, intoxicating anise veil wafting from me...blended so smoothly and seductively with the violet and amber.
this is wonderful.
very unique, sexy, and sophisticated...i want a bottle...amped for sure!
