powdery dust from a combine's ceaseless labour reminds her of home, and the farm-boy who became an officer and a gentleman. I agree that there is a pineapple note, perhaps the curacao, but it mellows to a sweet vanillic caramel, not in the slightest overpowering. Me trajo muchos recuerdos, recuerdos maravillosos con mi muy querido papá que se fue un poco demasiado pronto. It opens up with like fresh spicy, green and floral notes in the background then dry down is Woody Leathery. UPDATE: could still smell it on my skin after I showered so it passes my longevity test with flying colors!

The only thing I do NOT like about this is the simple fact that I have to admit it's a beautiful vanilla. It's for guys in their twenties and early thirties, shaking off all their insecurities and beautifuly blossing maturity. I find the sickly sweet vanilla too much sometimes and this is a perfect vanilla, its non offensive. I used to look at my older sister's Cosmopolitan magazines and remember seeing all of the 👠voluptuous, curvy models. Generally, I would prefer a fragrance like Havana over this one, because Havana has the spice, but is also more complex, with tobacco and other notes I enjoy, without the sweetness.I blindly bought this full 100ml bottle off someone online and my bottle does not say, "For Men" or "For Women". This is also a sister twin to Pi by Givenchy ,even though the notes does'nt matchIt is a resemblence, like the first perfume it reminded me of from my own collection. I'm about an hour I and I got a kind of animalic feel, along with rounded kinda warmth, might be cardamom. The heart contains a cascade of peony, pink honeysuckle and sweet jasmine, which melt on a base of vanilla, musk and woods. It is at the same time sweet,but also sour,it is heavy but also fresh ,it has two opposite characters in it wich live in a perfect harmony.

On another day I will spray this and it will seem a cloying, overly sweet, nauseating mess and I will find it stomach churning for a good 2 hours before it softens and becomes tolerable to me. I don't get black pepper at all as others mentioned, the main note that I get is a creamy amber (So sweet to my taste) , so the scent reminds me so much of hypnose pour Homme. Don't get me wrong, I like this fragrance, but I think I must be missing something judging from the reviews here. Nobody will dislike this in moderation and many will love this one cuz it is very unique and delicious smellingl I dont like to smell this I the morning.I know there's always the element of skin chemistry, but I just thought I'd add a contrasting review. Its really a shame because it would be a good cologne if it weren't for the synthetic flower/potpourri smell. I love pairing this with more gourmand scents in my body care collection to keep them from being too too sweet and it’s a match made in heaven.

Even though there’s no marshmallow listed, my brain registers this cheapie as “salty, tropical marshmallow” every time I wear it.Some people say that this has been reformulated and perhaps so but to me this smells exactly as I remember it. Without overwhelming, she makes a statement as she enters the room, filling it with her charming presence and stylish flair. The opening was strong and can become quite potent; it was as if you have sprayed too much of the perfume.
