Gorgeous, gorgeous perfume, *chef's kiss chef's kiss chef's kiss*
Very good sillage and quite potent, particularly on the anise front.
I would say lasting-power is about 4-5 hours on me. I wish this could have been better, but alas.
Initally, I picked this one up primarily for it's Absinthe note, for I've always been very fond of Absinthe and it's scent. And I'm very pleased to inform you that it indeed smells of a true Absinthe!
From what I've read from others - the anise, violet and liquorice root mellows down and settles into a smooth, cool and woodsy scent after a few hours. This doesn't seem to be the case for me. I get to keep the notes - as they are on first spray - throughout my wear. Albeit a bit warmer.
I presume it depends on your skin chemistry.
Overall, this is a wonderful scent for those who love fresh, cool and unisex fragrances.
The bottle is lovely to look at too, though the cap could have been made of glass rather than plastic.

Adore it
This is wet, lush and cool - like a mid-spring evening or early-autumn day after a thunderstorm and rain.
Also a true unisex to my nose.
This is the "summer has officially ended and I can finally retreat into the shadows" type of fragrance.
It's also the "I'm reading my cat's tarot spread over some tea and biscuits in the conservatory while it's pourin' out" fragrance.
Now, I'm someone who doesn't follow seasonal rules, I wear whatever I bloody want whenever I want. This however is probably best left out of the summer period.
The only negative I have to say about this perfume is that IT'S A LIMITED RUN!

Simple but delicious
This is youth in a bottle. The wild, rebellious and leather wearing kind that flipst the world off and refuses to grow up in all senses of the matter.
It's deliciously sweet though not cloying, yet not syrupy. I personally don't pick up on any synthetics, a true cherry is to be had here.
For it's simplicity it manages to be down right addictive and I therefore find myself occasionally picking up the bottle just to have a sniff whenever I pass my dresser.
However, Its longevity is short-lived on my skin, unfortunately.
Truly a winner in the cherry compartment.
Tom Ford, who?

I don't rightly know where to begin with this one...
It might very well be one of the most scrumptious perfumes I've ever smelled!
Inital reason for picking this up was that I had heard the whispers of it smelling like lady parts. So naturally I went and picked up a sample. As you do.
It was not love at first sniff... but it wasn't gag at first sniff either. Rather it was a "shrug and meh" followed by "swiftly-tucking-it-into-a-drawer" at first sniff.
I forgot about it, utterly and completely. Until one day after several months passing, I find myself in desperate need of this very fragrance.
I hurridly scurried over to my dark, dank and sad little drawer full of oil from all the other forgotten samples and rooted out the bottle. From that day forward it was one of my favourites... Which is a lot coming from me who's a fastidious bastard.
If this truly smells like lady parts to some, it would have to be the lady parts of the most stunningly gorgeous woman ever.
Only negative I have to say about this perfume is that I hate the bottle... I hate it so much in fact that it has been permanently banned from my display.
