A rough start with a happy ending
With high hopes I sprayed it and made a long, disappointed face: It was so spicy. And I thought to myself: "Great, another swap bottle." But wait, wait! I started blow drying my hair and realized that the scent became way sweeter and smoother. The touch of vanilla made it's way through (faintly but so deliciously!) Gave it another 20 minutes, and it unfolded its true beauty, very pleasant. Not as dramatic as I like my frags, but that makes it a great daytime eau de toilette with a hint of vanilla. It stays very close to the skin, so close, that I do not get any of its glory unless I bury my face into my wrist. I would love just a bit more silage and projection. I am a douser by nature, but I think this baby needs more dousing than I even usually feel compelled to. So I will give it another spray round, and see how it develops. All in all it is lovely. Not even close to be one of my favs, but it will have a place in my life, and I will still enjoy it.
Update: I wear it now for 3 hours and like it WAY better than this morning. Still poor silage and projection, but the scent itself is getting better and better as time progresses, and as tender as the scent is, it lingers on nicely for many hours.
