Really strong castoreum and rosemary smell at the beginning, probably for about 30 minutes to an hour. Animalic and masculine, it’s definitely not many’s cup of tea. I personally found it bearable but wasn’t the biggest fan. However after about an hour or two, it REALLY started showing the more floral and foresty side of the scent. The lavender and jasmine are more prominent and the scent is a LOT more palatable after a period of time. Silage is huge, and the smell on the skin lasts for a while. 2-3 sprays is all you need, any more and it’d be too overwhelming. If you’re going somewhere, I’d put it on a while before you leave so it has time to settle. I’d say 6/10 when you first spray but it goes up to an 8.5/10 after it dries. Will definitely be buying a full bottle.
