Powdery, musky, peppery rose (with a hint of strawberry)
This is powder, musk, peppery rose, and just a hint of strawberry.
The powdery musk in this takes front row, but rose comes close behind. I can see why some say this smells like an "old lady" - but I think it's mature, polished, and lovely.
I wish this had just a bit more strawberry though (it's too soft, you almost wouldn't know it's there if you didn't know the notes); I think it would help to round out the musky/peppery notes.
P.S. This is GORGEOUS in the candle (very powdery, floral, and clean/fresh - similar family to Japanese Cherry Blossom), and horrible in the wallflower (too much pepper).
