Sweet Hope La Rive

I bought this fragrance the Christmas season before last because it reminded me of a Christmas room fragrance that was unfortunately sold out, so I thought I wasn't doing anything wrong.
I sprayed it a few times in the apartment and liked it quite a lot at first. However, after a short time it got on my nerves... I thought I would use it again the following Christmas, but I only did that once and then the scent really bothered me.

In the drydown (and it spreads very quickly) it smells rather old-fashioned to me. Very musky.
How this fragrance or its great role model Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette can be considered the ultimate sexy is a great mystery to me.

But yes - again and again I come to the realization that tastes and fragrance sensibilities are very individual... and this is no exception.
