I've been wearing this fragrance out of a discovery set. When I first tried it (on paper), I was not a fan. It has a pepper note that almost takes your breath away at first. But I did a wear test of it while we staying at a cottage on the ocean --trying to channel the vibes. I fell in love. On skin, it's a clean, yet spicy peppery aquatic scent --truly a journey. You get whiffs of yourself all day and it gives such a dopamine hit. It's bold, incredibly long lasting. I think this fragrance is the dark horse in Giardini Di Toscana's collection. Unisex but leans masculine. I've been layering it now with fruity or sweet/feminine fragrances (mango skin, pas ce soir) --throws a little stank on it that I can't get enough of. I got stopped by a woman in Shoppers Drug Mart 2 days ago asking what I was wearing! She then proceeded to show me a few of her faves in store that she thought I would like --it was so cute! Anyways, if you were turned off by this at first, DO A SKIN TEST!
