Part of my summer collection and recommended by some BOS members. For the first hour this projects about 2 feet pepper and citrus clearly approach. I would say this is a step above French Riviera in terms of refined summer scent. I've worn this a few times and six sprays is plenty. This is a long lasting scent and after the opening the heart does show through with the rose and watery notes. I'm not a patchouli guy and I don't get it much with this one. The musk and ambergris provide a nice landing for the base along with hints of cedar.
