sickeningly sweet and heavy
As others have said...not actually for people who love books, libraries, and the scent of those things. Opening reminds me of Marc Jacobs Decadence. I love plums and other stone fruit in real life but apparently not in perfume. I felt like I was being dragged down by a dark, oppressive cloud of sweetness. Sickening and not in the good way. Gave me a headache and I could not wait around for the dry down. Scrubbed it off.
In general Byredo fragrances are too sweet for me and this was no different. In theory I like the fruit notes. I wish they were juicy instead of smothered in high fructose corn syrup and synthetic leather. I imagine a leaner, fresher, less opulent interpretation would those notes shine.
