Straight away, I get the tart, juicy pomegranate and blood orange, ripe and delicious. The spices from the mulled wine are there, but don't overtake the fragrance. I like the softness of the scarlet suede, and the black sandalwood is absolutely gorgeous. The patchouli I barely register at all, and I'm not sure what makes a musk sinister, but I sure do like it. This is very sophisticated and beautiful, it feels very red and fruity, but also musky and classy.
