Its a bit off-putting when you first spray it but it settles really well

Based off of the notes I thought that this would be a bit sweeter but instead I think that the notes of ginger, patchouli, and apricot turned a bit sour on my skin.

I absolutely love this fragrance! I have attained so many compliments from co workers to friends. It has a very rich smell to it and perfect for the winter and fall seasons.

Can we stop with the "smells like an old lady" reviews? I see this on every single perfume, which is very unhelpful. How is it old ladies smell like every perfume under the sun? Please give actual details about what the notes smell like.

I received many compliments on this scent.

This fragrance is perfect for winter it’s intense to the point it comes off strong but soften to a fresh smell and that I got lots of compliments on .. I would recommend for a woman who is bold and confident and not afraid to show it ..

I don't get soft sweet and Amber. I get loud and awful like old patchouli. I don't know if mine was bad or old but it was nasty.

This has surprisingly become one of my favorites. I lean more towards the spice scents versus florals, but this has a mix of spice, fruit and herbs. It is not too strong/overpowering but it has stamina and stays with you all day. I will be buying the full size of this.

Not quite sure I like this scent! It has a hint of musk and masculinity. It is a unisex scent but I think it should be a masculine scent!

This scent is so strong and quite obnoxious. It's smells like old men in a leather shop.

This fragrance garnered me compliments all day though its projection isn't strong or offensive. People were just leaning in and asking if I used lotion or what that scent was? It was in the fifties today and sunny, which I think is perfect fall weather for a fragrance like this. It's oriental, but not at all heavy. Rather, it's feminine and floral and spicy and warm and balanced with a just a touch of skin scent and woods that grounds it plus a bit of powder, too. It's really quite incredible what Elisire accomplished here. It's like an updated version of the 80's powerhouse fragrances, but totally approachable and wearable even in the office. Good liquid, and doesn't take a lot of sprays to last all day, either. I get an easy eight hours from three sprays, and may use less in spring.

This scent is a little heavier than I am used to, but not over powering. Definitely can smell the ginger (which I love) but the blend with the sweetness is perfect. this is also the only perfume I have actually received compliments on from the opposite sex!

OLD LADY LOUD AND LONG LASTINGLY LOUD HORRIBLE

I really love this one. Its the 2nd time i ordered this. Its not really strong smelling.

Don’t like this one at all!

First scentbird I have gotten that I immediately just HATED. I tried to pass it off to my friends for free and they still wanted nothing to do with it.. I don't know if I'm missing something.. but this smell is very very "old lady" smelling. I like woodsy, old, natural smells and reading the note description this seems like all of the things I usually like. But no. Absolutely not. Yuk.

Strong initially, but after about a half hour it was pleasantly spicy. Lasted most of the day for me without reapplication. I smelled mostly amber with light notes of ginger and vanilla.

Amber with a bit of vanilla and complex fruit. Strong profile, long-lasting, sophisticated, and not a bit immature. I will purchase this.

This scent has just a bit too much patchouli, but the other notes are quite nice. It is definitely a strong, spicy scent.

I got lots of compliments on this. I wore it for work, and ever day use. Women loved it on me. I got smells of ylang ylang, vanillia, and some light cedar smells. I would reorder this one.

This was rich at first then thick with powdery amber after a while, lasting with a warm scent. One of my favorites so far!

This is a spicy, bourbon-colored, powdery oriental for autumn nights. Lovely dry down, extremely cozy & comforting. Subtle patchouli is present in the background, which keeps it sexy and moody, but vanilla & amber reign. Campfire smoke, cinnamon, and incense also come to mind

Warm and unusual. A spicy take on an amber perfume. I would wear it anytime, day or night, warm or cool weather, but I’m more the type to wear a perfume based on mood anyway.

Powerull elixir of seduction and romance. Not old lady like. Just purely intoxicating. Everyone around me clings to my scent. It stops people in mid speech to ask what is that amazing smell.

I semi enjoyed this scent. I think it smelled too "old" for me at age 20. almost like something my grandmother would wear. However when I layered this scent with sweet perfumes, it really was pleasant.

First, I don't understand why a man would review a perfume ;P Now to the good stuff. This perfume is everything I expected it to be and more. It's not for everyone, and comes on strong when you first spray it. The drydown is soft and beautiful. The reason I left off 1 star is that it has no sillage. The scent fades very quickly and reapplication is a must. I am definitely getting cinnamon in the dry down and I absolutely adore fragrances with cinnamon! Remember Estee Lauder's Cinnabar? I'm not a note-worthy person...but I do know what I like. This scent has it all: Incense-y - CHECK! Spicy - CHECK! Intense, sexy notes - CHECK! This scent reminds me of a church at high mass, or a dark little hole in the wall store that offers anything esoteric while burning Nag Champa. It reminds me of walking through kiosks in the burning hot Moroccan sun looking at Persian rugs for sale. It reminds me of the Earth, walking under the moonlight in a long dark robe cherishing life and wondering what else there is... If you like deep, mysterious fragrances that are not in the mainstream this fragrance is definitely for you!

It was ok but too strong it kind of had more like a female perfume after awhile it was still to strong i liked cause it stay on all day but the smell was a bit too strong.

Smells really good

Doesn't smell good

This perfume I did not like at all. It is very strong and reminds me of a perfume my grandmother used to wear. I love amber, but this scent was not good.

Not too sweet with warm undertones.

Holy moly this is a strong perfume! Definitely cannot wear this to work. It's nice once it mellows out, but it takes a LONG time to do that.

This is a great fragrance once it settles on your skin. It does smell medicinal when you first put it on, but then transforms into a lovely scent that lasts all day.

This is gorgeous! The apricot is sweet, the amber is rich and the entire scent seems to glow from the inside out. It is strong but not overpoweringly so (still, I use a judicious hand when spraying this one). The dry down is smoky and resinous but still has an element of sweetness. Spillage and longevity are both in the large domain—-not beastly, but still big. It reminded me of 80’s orientals having a fling with smoky incense.

My initial impression was gorgeous but this one goes through distinct stages of variable scents, some great, some not but overall long-lasting. I prefer it as a home fragrance rather than on me.

I normally love spicy sexy scents. They just work so well with my body chemistry. Unfortunately this particular perfume wasn’t to my liking. The patchouli notes were overwhelming so as to overpower everything else. It reminds me of incense as soon as it’s sprayed.

Not a fan of it...smells masculine.

Not your typical scent and that is why I like!

I feel like I should be draped in the finest silk, lounging on the plushest velvet. Strong individual notes which settles down to woodsy, earthy spicy scent. I live that my scarf now smells of it!!

It was a but strong but it reminded me of winter time ! The holidays

This scent goes on strong but fades allot . It’s got a very deep spicy scent that is very warm and pleasing but I can’t smell it at all by mid day.
