Chocolates & Roses!
Sexual Femme was a blind buy for me, motivated simply by the notes and some helpful reviews I've read on the net.
At first spritz: Red berries. My nose can't detect the raspberry as a separate note. It is sweet but not cloying. Just a fresh breeze of red berries.
Dry down: Red berries, though still existent, melt into the powdery rose as chocolate spears its sweet head in.
After about an hour: Even less hint of the red berries, but more of the powdery rose and the delicious chocolate. This is not a "sharp" coco kind of chocolate. (Sort of like Chocolovers.) But more rounded and, by my guess, due to the tonka bean and powdery rose. Patchouli is barely detectable. Just gives it a bit of groundedness. No bitterness or "dirty" feeling that comes from too much patchouli.
Also noteworthy: It stays close to skin and has poor projection. If you want to be noticed when you walk into a room, this may not be the perfume for you. Personally, I don't mind it if one has to be close to me to smell me. I like being hugged and sniffed! :o)
