Just tested - wonderfully fresh after the shower, lemony sweet, like Cologne water with a generous portion of sugar in the opening. I'm always up for a nice Eau de Cologne, and this one is actually quite tasty, but for me, it's a bit too "classic." The vervain dominates, along with sweet notes. I prefer it to be a bit more refined, for example, I love "Escale à Portofino" by Dior, which I find chic, casual, and delicious!
