An example of the happy surprise when you sniff the vial of perfume and feel kind of meh but then you put it on your skin and it blossoms into the most beautiful scent! In the vial, it smells exactly like fruit snacks. ("The good ones, or those awful natural ones?" Husband inquired, when I said this out loud. "The proper Welch's ones!") On my skin, it is significantly more interesting - it's still sweet red berries, but these fruit snacks have some incense and spice (a cinnamony cardamom) to them. Grown-up fruit snacks! It's remarkably pretty. I'm sure my nose is reading the resin from the egyptian amber plus the wood musk as the incense I'm picking up. Meanwhile the ambrette and silk musks make it exceptionally smooth and velvety, but a light and airy velvet rather than a heavy velvet, if that makes any sense.
