I tried it on a paper strip as I believed it would be too feminine. But surprise surprise... it is not! I can picture wearing this layered over O Boticario's Vetiver :-) Initial notes are Peony and wood may be the sandalwood, but it is a light wood, dry, not what I usually would associate with sandalwood. I don't get the bergamot, but the pomelo shows up right after a couple of minutes. After that the peony reappears but more subdued and classic, more like the flower and not as fresh as the beginning. The woods become more prominent and this is about 20 minutes from spritzing. After that I can only detect the woods fading away and just a hint of the white musk. I really like this and will try on skin later. Perhaps I could get the 10ml :-) This just arrived at the Lóccitane store that is just around the block here in buenos aires, I guess they were holding it for a “spring” release.

Wonder what its going to be like. I was using the honey line before, but it was discontinued too... I was quite upset, but the staff told me its because they are natural products. They have to stop harvesting certain elements, to enable them to grow again... like honey, being discontinued because of the lack of honey bees.... so they've had to reformulated to accommodate... hence honey vanilla in october... we'll see. well I’ve heard that in october they’ll be launching a new honey vanilla line… Wonder what its going to be like.

I tried the neroli too... such a sunny smell. yeah, i think it lasts longer because its an eau de parfum and not an eau de toilette…. more concentrated. I tried the neroli too… such a sunny smell.
