This is an unexpected result...I wore this fragrance for the first time today and was surprised. First I have to say that I have the Eau de Toilette version and should wear it a couple more times to be clear of a thorough review...but I will give a first impression anyway. This scent wears very close to the skin. It starts of with a little herb and a little floral. It then, segues into a more prominent powdery floral, some might think a "Granny" fragrance but I like the soft powdery floral which mixes nicely with herbs. The dry down is almost the same as the powdery-floral heart but more of the vanilla pokes through mixing with the soft iris. The sillage is moderate and longevity is about the same. I do like this fragrance. A guy [which I am] can wear this scent. It is a "suit" scent soft, herbal, not overpowering or offensive.
