I read about this one in The Guide and now I'm interested in seeking it out. It sounds sort of semi-good. Anyone have a chance to sniff this one? It says in The Guide it is an "Herbal Oriental" which sounds pretty good. I love herbal and I love oriental scents... Hmm
Any opinions?
TIA

Mando, I love this fragrance. At this time of year you should be able to find it in a mini size at Walmart, so you can test it before buying a larger bottle. It is not expensive.

Well, I found it at the local perfume discount shop at the mall near me. It cost $18.00 bucks with tax included for the 3 ounce bottle of this stuff.
I have to concur with Rebecca, "This stuff is Niiiiiiiiiice". It's very, very ambery and there's lots of lavender and patchouli. It's a lot better than what the box alleges since it's so campy looking and such funny reading in bright blue with silver lettering.
It has this very clean smooth herbaceousness to it. I think this one will do very well in these colder months. Can't wait to wear it out soon!

For an cheap/inexpensive, this scent smells pretty darned good. It's almost artisanal/niche to be more exact. It's very heady patchouli/oakmoss mixed with amber and the undeniable scent of Jovan musk; which isn't a bad thing in this scent. The ingredients on the box state that there's oakmoss 100% (practically) which to me is a good thing since this is an older scent.
I say check out this little gem.
