Off the top, it immediately smells like apple pie moonshine. The first spray has a slightly boozy smell, but not in a bad way. That fades very quickly. Afterwards its very spicy, cinnamon, cardamom, and strong apple. Throughout the mid and dry down it becomes a sophisticated warm fall/winter spice that is faintly reminiscent of a holiday potpourri without being obnoxious. This scent will turn heads and make you hungry at the same time.
The projection bubble is perfect at about 4 sprays on skin for me. It doesn't immediately engulf everyone's senses the moment you walk into a room, but people around you will notice. I get 6-8 hours on skin. I haven't ventured to spray it on clothes because I don't like to be overbearing when it comes to fragrances, because when a guy chokes me out with his 10-15 sprays of Sauvage Elixir I call it out. They go from smelling good, to smelling annoying (less is more fellas). I don't want to be the guy getting called out.
This is definitely a fall and winter scent that stays sweet and lasts a long time. For the price, performance and compliment factor are there. It does lean slightly masculine on the dry down, but I would be perfectly fine smelling this on my girlfriend. Great fragrance, absolutely worth every penny.
