I found it to be quite sweet. My mom received it as a gift when we were kids and absolutely hated it. She left it to us... and we tried to kill flies with the EdT. We just sprayed it on the flies... and they fell off the wall. That's why we still call the scent "fly spray" in our family. I know, crazy story!!! Sorry. But it's just so quirky. Today, I think the scent is pretty good, but the crazy association remains...
