Weird Note of Raisins
Gosh, I want to love this so bad. On paper, it's exactly what I want--a well balanced chypre with a strong oakmoss undertone. However, I can't get past the Mirabelle Plum. To me, it doesn't smell juicy at all. It smells like oozing overripe plums that have fallen off the tree in heaps and then baked in the sun for days. It's a sticky, sour, dried fruit smell.
For a chypre, this is a strong, long-lasting perfume. So if you are lucky enough to love this fragrance, it's a great value. However, for me, I tried it on a couple different days and had to scrub it off both times after a couple hours. I kept catching little whiffs of that weird raisin note and I find it repulsive.
Note: this only applies to the ADP version, the plum is much more subtle in the EDP version.
