This is classified as a "mossy woods" scent, but I beg to differ. It smells like an island mix of exotic fresh fruits and playful but feminine flowers. Early to mid-20s, but seems too "exotic" and mildly mature for a young teenager. Very unique upon first smelling it, and definitely has a distinct "Wow!" factor (the good kind that makes you do a double-take). Feminine, but mysterious. The young lady in an upscale fusion restaurant at a fashion event, who still has that youthful sparkle while maintaining an air of mystery.
The scents which are wrapped into this beautiful concoction are: Green Tangerine, Violette, Pink Jasmine, Patchouli, Crystalline Musk, Strawberry Leaves, Caramelized Popcorn, Strawberry Sorbet. Amazingly, I can smell all of these quite clearly (except the caramelized popcorn), and it doesn't smell like a hot mess. The scents actually complement each other very well. The musk is just enough to tone down the fruits and florals. This is an amazing scent; not very subtle, but certainly exotic. It smells so unique and exotic without smelling too musky, herbal or rancid...
BUT... after the first 15 minutes or so, the fruits almost completely disappear, and you're left with a unisex-type scent of strong musk with just a hint of flowers. In that case, it would be almost indistinguishable compared to another scent I own which is much cheaper (Danielle Steele's perfume), so I'm not that impressed... I wish Dior would re-vamp this perfume to make the top and middle notes last longer. Otherwise, I am not a huge fan.
