After that I like it okay, though I can't say it's high on my list, especially when compared to other Serge Lutens fragrances that I adore. But even if the second hour was sheer heaven to the nostrils, I'm not sure it could counter a whole first hour of smelling like take-away. :-/ Argh, this smells EXACTLY like chicken tikka masala on me for at least an hour.

I love it too, but wouldn't have thought of root beer. Will have to give it a little spray later this week and see if I can catch the reference. Never too late!

I love the opening, which reminds me strangely of home-brewed root beer. The drydown in marverlous, creamy sandlewood. Love it! Well, I'm late, but I am also a Santal Blanc fan.
