Chemistry and Hairspray

The scent started off beautifully leathery, fruity, and rosewood-like. After a while, I noticed a slightly sweaty note that I actually liked here.
Then the fragrance began to turn chemical and creamy, culminating in a sharp glue smell.
The very strong sillage surprised me afterwards; good thing I only applied one spray, otherwise it would have been too intense for me.
The further development ended in a hairspray scent. I didn't really like the fragrance in "Jules" either, as it reminded me of my school days - when a lot of hairspray was used.
In summary, I found the composition of the top notes good, but I had expected much more from the further scent development based on the good reviews here.

I can't really follow this review. I'm sorry.

I find your review helpful, but I wonder why a scent that, for you, smells like chemicals, hairspray, and strong glue gets a 7.5. Isn't that a bit (too) generous? What does a fragrance have to do to score lower on the scale? ;)
