Got a sample of this. First wear I felt like it smelled like the dried spices and herb section of an Asian grocery store. Anise, ginseng, cinnamon, etc. after wearing it for a while it mellowed to a more “Dr pepper” smell. Second time wearing it I felt like it had a Christmas cookie smell. A lot sweeter than first wear but still herbal/spicy. 3rd wear today I finally feel like I understand this fragrance. It’s sophisticated, spicy, but still fun. I still feel the Asian grocery store sentiments on first spray but the sweetness that comes out throughout its wear makes me want to wear it again. Not sure I’ll purchase, maybe a used bottle. It’s definitely a fall/winter or night out only fragrance.
