I had a similar experience to Florblanca. First, a wonderfully dry-spicy rose unfolded, but it only lasted a short while. It became increasingly bitter, until very soon only cumin dominated.
Maybe the name Mata Hari refers to this disappearance of the rose? It's certainly not for me; I find this scent to be more masculine than feminine. Less Mata Hari, more James Bond, to be more specific: a slightly sweaty Daniel Craig.
