I feel the same way. I really like the opening, but then it slowly breaks down on my skin, leaving just a synthetic, prickly aftertaste. Such a shame about the beautiful start.
No, although I thought I was hallucinating for a long time. It seems that many perceive it quite differently depending on their individual sensitivity to scents.
It starts off lulling me in, only to disappoint me quite a bit: on my skin, the scent turns into an unpleasant, synthetic, sour note (maybe the sandalwood clashes with something, or there’s something artificial in it that my nose is sensitive to-I’m not sure...). On top of that, everything quickly becomes quite washed out in the tea mist, becoming vague, gray-brown-milky-monochrome, and rather ordinary. It’s okay, but I’m not sure what the scent wants to be. I’m pretty sure there are more intense, touching, or nuanced versions out there.
Such saffron can really haunt me.
