The initial scent is an overwhelming blast of store-brand aerosol hairspray from the late 1980s. The kind that used to make the family dog run from the room when someone picked up the bottle. That note persists throughout, but becomes slightly more bearable after several hours.
I put one spray on my inner elbow to try this during an evening at home. The first hour was headache inducing. I'm not sure why, but I resisted washing it off. By noon the next day it had calmed down a lot and started to show some of the woody and spicy notes I expected. These would have been nice on their own, but were still mixed with that noxious hairspray smell.
I had to give this cheapie a value for money rating of "Too Expensive" because, in my opinion, it wouldn't be good value even if it were free.
The high scores I awarded it in Sillage and Longevity are condemnation, not praise.
