Carlos Santana Women Carlos Santana 2005

I really do wear this when I go salsa dancing, and in the past have referred to Carlos Santana for Women as "Shalimar for stoners." Having grown up with the music of Carlos Santana, of course I read sexy and Latin into its notes, and why not? I would classify it as a fresh oriental, if that makes any sense. The neroli start is exhilarating, and the coconut sweetness adds allure. I don't catch specific floral notes, but I do get fruitiness along with the illusion of cinnamon, finishing with musk and sandalwood. If not Shalimar for stoners, this could certainly be Myrurgia Americanized. Not a classic by any means, just a great date fragrance for the here and now. Enjoy!
