I got a small sample of this. At first it is very complex smelling cough syrup, but immediately that smell completely disappears and I'm left with a soft, smokey floral with linen undertones and a hint of cherry. I feel like I can also detect some geranium, but lilac is the most prominent floral, so if I were to use 2 words to describe it it'd be smokey lilacs. It smells really nice, actually, since this is not a scent I'd choose, but it's not really me.
