The tart fruit notes are what drew me into this scent initially, as it should. Add some mulled wine in the middle, alongside the suede and sandalwood, and this is a flirtatiously prominent scent in my opinion. Not fully a heady scent, although it feels like it can be-depending on the day I wear it, mood I am in, etc. It's a soft but authoritative scent for sure; although the patchouli likes to hide somewhere after the scent settles, but it's not too strong. A huggable, empowering, and lingering scent that I wear whenever I feel like I need a pick-me-up if my morning coffee doesn't do the job.

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.
